The Salad

[Luigi]

But, because of the pic in THH, I won't disregard K=Baudmom as a theory.

[SnicketFires]

Sometimes said:

She didn't invent it, remember? It's a traditional Scandinavian salad.

Is it?

[Jacques the Environmentalist]

Well I didn't think she personally invented it, but do u think it was hiding something or not?

[Sometimes A]

Is it?

'Twas what the site said, though I'm really not sure if they have mangos in Scandinavia.

[Jacques the Environmentalist]

Mangos might not grow in Scandinavia but people there might eat them. Is anyone else but me seeing the slightest of connections between asoue and the scandinavia region? Female finish pirates and a scandinavian salad?

[Sometimes A]

Interesting idea Jacques... should I do more research?

[Jacques the Environmentalist]

sure. and I have reason to believe that in the 13th book the bauds meet some female finish pirates.

[SnicketFires]

Good connection. I said after I ate it ( ) That I thought Daniel Handler had just thrown interesting sounding ingrediants into a book.

But the recipe is reminding me of a Nancy Drew book. Recipe For Murder, where secret information is passed from a bad guy to some other bad people using the amounts in recipes.

For example- The code was on [insert date] in [insert street] in [insert place] would correspond with an amount in the recipe.

So if salt=day there might be 4 pounds of salt if the day was on the fourth day of a month.

This theory doesn't really work on this salad, bacause we were'nt given any amounts.

[Jacques the Environmentalist]

Maybe the salad is the final part of verbal fridge dialogue, Snicket mentioned something about K hiding things in picnics so the sald could hide an object(sugarbowl?, which in itself hides an object) or it could be part of a coded message which is hidden.

[Rikku]

The salad was put in the sugar bowl?
maybe.....but probably not.

[Jacques the Environmentalist]

No, I meant that the sugar bowl hid something important and that the sugarbowl was put in the salad. But we know that the sugarbowl was thrown into the Stricken Stream. When will we see it again?

[SnicketFires]

Soon hopefully.

Wasn't there a part of the Verbal Fridge Dialogue that was missing, or was that a theory? I'm so confused.

[Efogoto]

I think that's theory. I don't recall any hints that something was missing from the fridge dialogue. I'm willing to be wrong about this, though.

What bothered me about the fridge dialogue was the assumption that the message was current. Maybe the Very Fresh Dill is the confirmation for that, but who would have put the message there after TMWABBNH and TWWHBNB had been burning the place down for a month? Do you really think that next Thursday is the correct Thursday?

[Belly Of The Beast]

Or it could just be a regular salad that K just reccomended to her brother...

[Sometimes A]

Bah, that bothered me as well. I suppose that the two could have been exagerrating...? But I suppose it is a little TOO convenient.
