What It’s Like to Have Christmas Dinner at Hogwarts
Ever wonder what it would be like to have your annual Christmas dinner at Hogwarts? One fan did just that, and documented the entire thing.
Artist Destiny Blue recently attended a yearly event that hosts a dinner at the original Great Hall set at Warner Brothers' London studio (via Mashable). The event, which occurred on December 7 and 8, isn't necessarily the cheapest way to celebrate fandom, with tickets running £240 (~$304 USD) each. But according to Blue on her imgur account, "there's no experience like it."
Rat Burgers Gaining Popularity in Russia
Remember Pizza Rat, the adorable NYC rat caught on camera dragging a slice of pie back to its rat-lair? As cute as that humanized vermin was, you probably didn't think "Boy, I'd sure like to eat that small animal!"
First of all, it would take a whole lot of rats to make just one tasty burger, but fortunately the nutria, a cousin of the rat, has enough meat to put a dent the appetite of Louisiana Cajuns and more recently, Russian diners.
The river rat, as its sometimes known, is found in southern Russia and is now a hot item in some Moscow eateries. Chef Takhir Kholikberdiev "serves up nutria burgers and a whole range of other rodent-based dishes" in his Moscow based restaurant Krasnodar Bistro, according to The Guardian.
