Poll News - And A Culinary Diversion

The first two instalments of the Now poll are now CLOSED (i.e. you can go and tick them all you like, I've already noted down the results). You will have to wait and see how I handle the only draw in there. The third one will be open until 2.

Meanwhile, please list some bands named after foods. You can blame [livejournal.com profile] the_roofdog for this.

Lamb (this is, as the roofdog rightly says, the only band named after meat)
Lard
Eggs
Cake

etc etc.

(Something else you may notice is that all these bands are rubbish.)

I plan to start a free jazz combo called "Cumberland Sausage".

Sheep was the Brighton Pink Floyd covers band I was briefly drummer for. They did Dark Side of the Moon at Brighton Dome on the 25th anniversary of the original performance there.
