No, really!  I am so not making this up.

Rice burgers.  Here's the scoop:

After 18 months of research and development, McDonald's Restaurants (Taiwan) Co officially unveiled a new menu yesterday, making Taiwan the first nation to offer rice burgers under the golden arches.

Dubbed a marriage between Eastern and Western culture, the company is offering two flavors of toasted rice burgers, with a choice of either chicken or beef, which is sandwiched between two rice cakes.

You've got to get a load of the accompanying photo of this abomination  culinary innovation by McDonald's Taiwan divisionMore details here too.

Well, the entire Mad Minerva family will soon be in Taiwan for a reunion bash.  I guess I'll have to try one of these rice burgers -- call it empirical research or morbid curiosity . . .
