Rhetorically speaking, what the hell is nougat? many have had it, many have loved it and nobody seems to know what exactly is this fluffy, sugary, pasty ,foamy confection that is in so many of today's maistream candy .
Ever notice how when eating a 3 musketeers, and drinking a fresh coke, sometimes the coke will react with the nougat and foam really hard, like all the carbonation is getting angry. very weird.
and what about pigeons? where do they come from? I know I see gaggles of them in the city, all walking around aimlessly. (probably because the rooftops and store signs all have spikes now to deter them from landing) I know they breed, (unless they are the coveted immortals), because they have continued to exist. Yet I never see baby pigeons. I assume they mate, lay an egg, and walla....... you have a young pigeon. But where are they all hiding?
I have seen baby squirrels, baby ducks, baby birds, nest's with small eggs, all of which were NOT pigeons. This is a mystery I would like to crack.
