Man kills guest for disliking mum's food

2007-03-24

Bhopal: A villager in Madhya Pradesh killed his guest because he did not like the food his mother had cooked. The victim's body, bearing injury marks inflicted by a sharp-edged weapon, was found by police on Thursday in the fields of Phanda village, on the outskirts of Bhopal. Police traced and arrested Ramesh, the owner of the axe used in the killing. He later confessed to having killed the victim, who is still to be identified as his face was disfigured.

"Ramesh, after sustained interrogation, confessed to having killed the victim. While having dinner the victim apparently refused to eat as he didn't like the taste of the food, which had been cooked by Ramesh's mother. Ramesh attacked him with an axe, resulting in his death," police said.

#10 Le Creuset, the stuff of wedding gift dreams and housekeeping nightmares. I remember drooling over a set in my bridal days, but we had such a small wedding that I didn't even bother registering anywhere. Later I tried picking up a couple of the pans and realized how lucky I'd been -- those things are heavy!! and if I'd had those, I'd never have been able to justify the expense of replacing them with something I can actually handle on a daily basis. For perspective, I was a rather poor gymnast in my youth, so even yet have considerably more upper body strength than most women. You continue your collecting with my blessing, Zenster dear -- it's good that somebody appreciates the pretty things properly... and has the muscles to use them.

#8 Zenster, why did you wear a mask? Was it because
1: You are famous?
2: It was a flea mask?
3: You are Zorro?
4: It was one of those air filter masks?
4: All of the above?

Sorry couldn't resist, hee hee.

#4 Zen, don't eat out of the uranium orange cookware too much or it will cause you to start collecting weird things, OK? :-)

#3 To hell with the food, just give me the pan shown in that picture. You're looking at a uranium orange porcelain enamel glazed cast iron oval au gratin baking pan made by either Le Creuset or Descoware. These pans are heirloom quality and one of the few objects that are worth their price brand new.

I have about a dozen of the au gratin pans in various sizes ranging from individual 6" ovals to larger pieces. I hunt them in thrift shops and pay pennies on the dollar at the cash register. My collection of over 100 pieces ranges from skillets to terrines to butter warmers and even the hard to find teapot and fondue set. Purchased new, the entire group would cost several thousand dollars. Once you get used to cooking with enamel ware there's no going back. Only well-seasoned cast iron can even hold a candle to the stuff.

Sidebar: The very oldest pans can be identified by using a Geiger counter due to how actual uranium was used to create the orange glaze. The background count is low but detectable. Now other minerals are used to create the classic flame orange color. The pan pictured is an older model. The gray interior glaze is testimony to that fact. More recent models will have a white glazed lining.

Of course, I also collect cast iron and have almost 100 pieces of it as well including rare square skillets, griddles, Dutch ovens, stovetop waffle irons and such. The crown jewel is a miniature cast iron stove a few inches tall, complete with flat irons and working oven door. Not a toy, this is a sample that was once carried around by a traveling salesmen who could not possibly tote along several tons of various stoves. Original examples of this sort in complete condition can fetch hundreds of dollars. Mine is only missing its stove pipe and set me back all of $15.00 at the flea market. (Yes, I wore a mask.)
