Fascinating Food: Fat Balls

Not for the dieters out there.
Or for human consumption either. =P
Anyone wants to guess what they're for?

gallivanter and anonymous: Smart people! fat balls are actually used for wild bird feed. They're basically fruit, nuts and seed held together by fat.

No prizes for guessing though ;)

To the rest: thanks for the contributions, hehe

I was gonna guess educational NHS audio-visual aids, eg. "For every 10 packet of crisps, this is how much fat you're eating."

One day, we're gonna see birds drop dead out of the sky - not from avian flu. From heart attack... Too much fat clogging up the arteries.

Btw, I used to vow to myself I would never spend 5 quid on chinese food here in UK. Now, I realise it's more worth it to spend 5 quid, never mind it's thirty-five ringgit, on char kuay teow rather than bangers & mash.

but coconut is not a bad guess either.

sheena: you tend to stop converting so much after a while, if not you'll end up starving. But then, it's always fun to convert from pounds to ringgit when we're back home =P
