The snake cookie from my dream last night didn't look so cute or edible. In my dream I went by boat and by car to get to a bakery to get some special cookies. I had heard about this bakery and all the delicious cookie options but plan ahead of time what I would buy. When I got there the counter was full of all sorts of weird pancake-sized cookies, and the most bizarre of all were (yep) the snake cookies. These had actual snakes in them, coiled up within the cookie so that its sinuous body protuded from the dough, with the head coming out of the middle of the cookie. The snakes had bright orange skin and beady black eyes, looking very much alive apart from the fact that they were unmoving and baked into a fluffy pastry. They looked terrifying...and delicious. I bought and ate two.
I've never had snake before, and don't forsee ever wanting to or getting the opportunity so long as I remain vegetarian and living in this country. I haven't seen that show "Bizarre Foods" in a while, so I'm not sure why my subconscious brought up such an unusual food combination. Hm.
