There's so much going on in Talk week to week that we almost can't keep up. If you're in the same boat, here's a small selection of topics and responses that have piqued our interest this week.

What Discontinued Soda Do You Miss?

"Ya, Surge was the stuff. And I haven't seen Bawls in a while. And one that hasn't been invented yet - canned rum and coke. I would love to see those polar bears downing a couple of those on a Coca-Cola commercial. I think they deserve it after all these years." —Mr. Nick

"Red Bull Simply Cola, with its pine extract and cardamom and other bundle of spices, was unique among colas. When it was discontinued, I scoured every bodega, grocery, drug store and beverage store trying to find it! Then I tried making my own Simply Cola. My ad hoc formula of Coke, gin, and Pine-Sol doesn't quite hit the spot." —Tally

Anyone planning a Game of Thrones feast?

"Eating a raw, fresh killed, just beating horse's heart like the Stockholm syndrome bleach blonde. What a bonding experience with her DH and his tribe! I'll try not to let the blood drip down my chin onto my skimpy horsehair toga." —MMinNYC

"Pizza ... I've read the novels and they are always eating pizza." —redfish

Snapshots From The Food And Wine Best New Chef Awards

"Fun fact: that SAME chicken leg had previously been gnawed on by Ed Levine, Blackbird's Bryce Caron and Kenji before finally being passed on to me. Even as a hand me down, it was delicious. " —Bravetart

Video: How to Kill and Eat an Iguana

"I'm thinking someone needs to publish a research paper about The Efficacy of Iguana Testicle Extract (ITEx) on Eliminating Male Pattern Baldness, Increasing Sexual Stamina and Promoting Weight Loss. " —Les Ah

"Boyfriend's grandma makes iguana tamales (they live in Oaxaca, Mexico). You're not actually allowed to sell/buy them there apparently but if there's one on your property you can kill it. One time they were driving and hit an iguana and then grandma ran out and stuck it in her purse to take home and cook. Another time a BF's brother's friend from NYC came down, had a tamale (didn't know it was iguana...) and ended up pulling a little iguana head out of his mouth. Head-to-tail eating." —korovka

Alternative Proteins

"Chickens are basically little dinosaurs. Not too far removed from an iguana or snake on the evolutionary scale." —McNormal

What Are Your Favorite Purchases in the Duty Free Shop?

"Not at the duty free shop, but that aspirin with codeine in the Barajas pharmacy kicks a headache's ass." —Janav
