Clay gelato is getting ready for tomorrow. Saturday 19 of May 21:00-22:00 Van Hallstraat 222 SPOONERIST SESSION #1 GELATO TASTING & ARTIST TALK BY Masha Ru, visual artist, researcher in the field of geophagy Limited space, please reserve your place: [email protected] Masha Ru researches the phenomenon of geophagy, the act of eating soil-like substances such as clay and chalk. Together Ola Lanko and Masha Ru have created three clay-based gelato flavours. During the event you will have the opportunity to taste the flavours and engage in a conversation about ancient and contemporary food habits. LUDO & HEDO (@ludoandhedo) SPOONERIST SESSIONS: At Ludo & Hedo we take gelato a few steps further. We experiment with multi-sensorial experiences and use gelato as a way to question conventions and explore the social and political dimension of food. During our new Spoonerist series we want to share our findings and engage in an open conversation with anyone who is interested. The name of the series derives from “spoonerism”, an error in speech with an often humorous effect. In a similar vain, we aim to shake up the regular order of things and shift people’s perceptions. THE EVENTS ARE FREE OF CHARGE Eating clay is not recommended by food authority and reminds at your own risk. Currently Masha Ru is a resident at The Netherlands Institute for Advanced Study (NIAS). Her ongoing project is made possible by NIAS, the Society of Arts-KNAW and Amsterdam Fund for the Arts (AFK). #free #amsterdam #gelato #art #research #clay #spoonerist #spooneristsessions #ludoandhedo #olalanko #masharu #collaboration #icecream #geophagy #experiment #inspiration #westerpark #food (at Ludo and Hedo)
yellowjackets has everything. it even has dirt eating 😌
There was an old woman who lived in a shack in the woods near where I grew up. She ate a teaspoon of dirt a day. She said it kept the sorrows away.

בָּרוּךְ אַתָּה, יְיָ אֱלֹהֵינוּ, מֶלֶךְ הָעוֹלָם הַמּוֹצִיא לֶחֶם מִן הָאָרֶץ
Baruch atah Adonai, Eloheinu melech haolam, hamotzi lechem min haaretz.
We praise You, Adonai our G!d, Sovereign of the universe, who brings forth bread from the earth.
I have looked at you in every way,
have traced your contours
the way a young boy reads raised maps,
favoring the gentle slope to Nebraska.
I know it is wrong to compare
you to earthy things, the world
and words so overused, but I speak
of the actual way your thigh
fans into a delta, how the velvet
silts inside. I speak of the way
your skin brings summer, tongued
memory of rock salt, damp musk
along the levee. It is not enough
to try to hold back, to keep from
worshipping your hair, unbraided
river of night. I drift
beneath the milk light
of your body; your breasts
like touchstones, your breasts
the two of hearts, a dish of pears,
the eastern coast of Brazil, your
breasts, a wish of symmetry.
When I think of you I think
of constants: an emerald’s green,
or willow’s grief, the ever
changing landscape of topography.
I think of the constant
thievery in wind and rain,
the common grain in rock
and sand, the elemental way
we taste each day—
stone, slag, clay.
