Peppered Wang Rock

Back to Crunchy Fried Things

Peppered Wang Rock

It is said that all things that are fried eventually become crispy and delicious. Chanceworth Gobblemop, avid scaler of Mt Wang and all around hungry fellow, found himself 1000 feet up a rather precarious cliff with nothing to eat save a large jug of gusmick oil (to what ends he carried this jug is anyone's guess) and a large cast iron cauldron (He probably wouldn't have been so hungry if he had just left the cauldron at home). It was not long before Chanceworth became delirious from his hunger. Holing himself up in a cliff-side cave, the hungry hungry rock climber set about deep frying the rocks around him (which, unlike pre-processed fish fillets or cow urethras, were plentiful on Mont Wang). The desparate man sat for days in that lonely hole testing to see if the rocks were ready to eat, only to throw them back into the oil with a howl of pain. He eventually starved to death (many wonder why he did not simply climb down the mountain).

Twenty days later a young man named Pete Rethman, found the cauldron and plucked from it one of the fried rocks to taste. To his surprise the rock was crunchy and delicious. It was quite unlike anything he had ever eaten before. Apparently a rock must be fried a grand total of 27 days to become edible. Ever the entrepreneur, Pete openned up what he called a Wangeteria, where he served the hot piping treats with pepper to weary travellers. Eventually Pete openned up numerous Wangeterias all over the world and became quite wealthy.
