Debunking Beer Can Chicken: A Waste Of Good Beer, And Dangerous
Famous Death Row Last Meals
At Slashfood we're no strangers to images of holy women in food. We've brought you dispatches about everything from visions of the Virgin Mary in a grilled cheese to her likeness in chocolate. Here's a new one on me, a cinnamon bun bearing the image of Mother Theresa.But wait, the plot thickens. Said bun was stolen from Bongo Java a Belmont, Tenn., coffee shop about two years ago. The Nun Bun as it's come to be called had been on display for about 10 years before its theft. Fear not dear reader, the pastry is safe. A letter received by The Tennessean states that the pastry has not fallen victim to foul play.
In other nun-related pastry news, there's a another type of nun bun that's not quite as sacred, but probably no less delicious. "Nonnevotten," or nun's bums, are a sticky syrup-laden Dutch treat. Who knew? [via Boing Boing]

An order of celibate nuns
Made a promise that they’d be the ones
Whose pastries and rolls
Would deliver men’s souls—
I admit, I admired their buns!

Having seen the nun-bun in person, it makes me sad, that someone would take something with so much history at that place. I hope that this guy comes to his senses and returns it.
