Foodf*ck – when you eat it, you’ll sh!t… oh.
Notice how Brick isn’t written in all caps like rest of the translations. Hmm…
It’s just a small brick.
Neither is scrambled egg. What’s your point?
Actually, scrambled egg is written in all caps, they just used a smaller font size to make it fit on one line with the rest of the text.
FAIL!
FIRST!!!
FIRST FAIL!
Someone hand me 2 bricks. I know a good trick!
Is this the one about getting a camel to drink the absolute maximum water a camel possibly can before starting out on a desert journey? (I think I saw that on “1001 Tails From The Chick Point” too.)
Brick= baked clayfish?
That would be blick, wouldn’t it?
Mmmm…. delicious deep-fried Brick! Nom, nom, no…. ouch!
Love your name! Had I been offered the opportunity to select my species, it would have been otter.
BRICK: Translation error for fruitcake.
Reminds me of my mother’s fruitcake…and cheesecake and any other cake.
Reminds me of my mother’s meatloaf. All one needed was mortar.
Shooting your mother’s meatloaf out of a mortar? Does that qualify as a weapon of mass destruction?
Only if the enemy has to eat it.
Then I suppose you ought to use her fruitcake as ammo.
Doesn’t the Geneva Convention have something to say about the inhumanity of forcing POWs to eat fruitcake? It’s morally reprehensible.
Oh, come now. All the “guests” at Guantanamo love it!
Now there’s a crowd that might appreciate my mother’s meatloaf, with the fruitcake bringing up the rear.
Must cause influx of gas if it brings up the rear!
We regularly see stone foundations in houses that were repaired with fruitcake, meatloaf, and mortar.
And LEGO!!!
*Sigh* Whatever happened to the good-old days of solid construction with Spackle?
I would like to not mow my lawn for the year and cut and stack the sod to add a room to the back of my home.
So why don’t you? Zoning ordinances?
I don’t think so.
Spanish is my native language, and I just can’t figure out what is that supposed to mean.
In fact, the only language I speak are Spanish and English.
— two languages. I speak two languages: Spanish, English and a little French.
— THREE languages…. I’ll come again…
I salute your reference. I’m totally hugging you through the internet, just because the unexpected reference made me lol harder than the brick!
If I were harder than the brick, I wouldn’t be loling.
no it isn’t, a brick is an maghrebian bite!

Oh sure, just slam that in our faces. It’s not like we haven’t cemented the situation, and built up on the run.
Well, I still consider this quite humorous, given that, “The Tunisian tradition is that the bride-to-be’s mother makes a brik for the potential bridegroom. If the bridegroom eats it without spilling any of the egg yolk he may marry the bride.”
That brick brick looks tasty !!
Just don’t spill any egg yolk if you hope to be married!
it also says Squin in batter under the picture
Yeah, it should say “Sequin in batter,” and as we all know that’s just fabulous!
Sounds like a pretty heavy meal.
I will order the Brick…
*30 minutes later*
Not as nice-looking but…
*bites and loses all teeth*

[Someone said it was a wrong translation of fruitcake. How is brick related to fruitcake? O_o]
Try some old fruitcake after it has dried and the sugar and preserved fruit have hardened. It sets up like a brick. That is the reason they soak them in rum and brandy and reheat them before serving.
And usually wait until the end of Christmas dinner when everyone is already at least half-p!ssed, and so won’t notice that you’re serving them a fruit-laced brick for afters.
For those that won’t quit drinking, you can serve cinder block with artificial chocolate sauce.
That wouldn’t deter a serious drinker. And I have the cracked teeth to prove it! (Although I really do prefer my cinder block with real chocolate sauce.)
There is no reason to use the first fruits on someone that doesn’t appreciate the difference.
There is if you’re out of second fruits.
I would fall back on the fifth fruits. “Whipped cream on your composted lawn clippings?”
Okay. What’s the chaser?
From Monty Python:
Gumby: Well I think TV’s killed real entertainment. In the old days we used to make our own fun. At Christmas parties I used to strike myself on the head repeatedly with blunt instruments while crooning. (sings) ‘Only make believe, I love you, (hits himself on head with bricks) Only make believe that you love me, (hits himself) Others find peace of mind…’
We have squid, squid and fish, squid and eggs, squid squid and eggs, squid eggs squid and squid, squid fish squid eggs and brick…
Squid, squid, squid, squid,
Squid, squid, squid, squid…
Can I just have the squid and eggs without the squid? And without the brick?
What’s a breakfast without your mother’s meat loaf???
Edible
Sounds to me like you’ve got an edible complex.
AAAAAARGH! Professional Language Dreadful Pun fairy has been notified of your ghastly transgression.
I take it then I’m being sent to PLDPH? On the whole, I’d rather be in Philadelphia.
The bricks are off!
Please don’t be edible
Squid is chewy. Deep fried batter is crunchy. So the squid in batter is …
CRUNCHEWY!!!
“How does it feel to be thick as a brick?”
Your wise men all know!
I hope you don’t mind if I sit this one out.
You may make me feel but you can’t make me think.
Well…i’m from Spain and here we pack the milk and the wine in small packs called ‘Tetra brick’ (1 liter) and it has the shape of a brick.
sometimes we shorten the word to only ‘Brick’ So: “Traeme el brick de leche” (Bring me the brick of milk)

After all it’s a big mistake and a big big FAIL
I have seen those in Michigan. They used to be popular. Haven since one in some tme now. However, no one here ever called it a brick…
Brik – spelling optional – is a reasonably tasty Tunisian foodstuff. Tried it in 2000 when I went on holiday there, wasn’t awesome but nommed it anyway. Trufax: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brik

And all only noticed the last word? What about the small squid-fried? Is that like southern fried, chicken fried or what?
Engrish? No. Spanglish? Not quite. Spangrish? Maybe.
Brick is actually a tunisian dish of an egg inside a circle piece of pastry which is flash fried in a vat of oil.
They are nice actually =)
Two or three people have already said that, why bother, brother?
Dear Mr. JohnB(illyMays channeler): I’ve read the entirety of commentary through a dozen or so pages here and yours just sparkle like sequins in a sea of liquid cake. Heavily wits betickle the many womens. <3
They didn’t even get the Spanish right. It’s “sepia”, not “sépia”…
lolz, reminds me of when I went to Spain and wanted to order steak from a restaurant and I could not for the life of me find it on the menu. Only after several minutes did I finally figure out what the “Big grilled of cutlet” was.
“Brick” is a kind of a “pocket” made of (!)crunchy dough, filled with ground meat and eggs and deep fried. It is eaten for example in Tunisia.
mmmm… bricks.
