Talk about a mouthful…

Remember the Danish cartoon flap from a couple of years ago? When the Danish newspaper Jyllands-Posten published a series of cartoons satirizing Muhammad? At the height of the furor, a number of Iranian groups, including the Iranian confectioners’ union, demanded that Muslims stop calling Danishes “Danishes”, substituting the term “Roses of the Prophet Muhammad”. Though I don’t know for a fact, I think the effort died on the proverbial vine since it was just too darn hard to say. Would you like a strawberry Rose of the Prophet Muhammad today? Or an apricot Rose of the Prophet Muhammad? Though I should say that the cheese Roses of the Prophet Muhammad are especially good. Er…I’ll just have the bear claw.

Now Freedom Fries, that simply rolled off the tongue…
