Hello all and welcome to the thirteenth round of the thirty seventh season of the Sweet FA, I’m your host Chef Bob coming to you live from the Colosseum. This week we see the West Coast Wonders host the Las Vegas Bears in a match that will certainly go down in history as an example of simulated football. Qooty I believe they call it. Odd looking concept, but there’s something about it. Almost hypnotic. Tell you what I like though, and that’s scran.
“What the heck is scran anyway, Chef Bob?” I hear you type. A fair and relevant question it is too. It has a few different yet related meanings, but the most common one refers to food of questionable quality. Originating in the north of England and Scotland, it has been popularised in recent times when describing fast food served at sporting venues. And today friends I hijack this week’s match thread opening posts by bringing to you several examples of the food served up at qooty grounds around Sweet, this time from the Colosseum.
Sweet, I give to you…
The West Coast Wonders have repurposed (some would say squatting in) the Colosseum as a qooty ground, and have used it as their home base for many a season now. Pretty much everything is made of stone, including their Pizza con Diavola e Calcolo (CM8.95 per slice).
They also have the Et Tu Brutus, a rock hard bun stabbed in the back with what looks like pork jerky (CM14.95):
But just like Lakeside Oval in South Melbourne, the best thing about the qooty scran experience at the Colosseum is the old blokes walking around the place selling bags of just the weirdest crap you could think of.
Larks' tongues. Wrens' livers. Chaffinch brains. Jaguars' earlobes. Dromedary pretzels. Tuscany-fried bats. I tried the Wolf nipple chips (CM6 a bag), got them while they’re hot and they were lovely!
Chef Bob’s Scran Rating:
Regarding the qooty, the Wonders are 3rd on the ladder with a record of 6 & 5 and the Bears are 10th on the ladder with a record of 4 & 7 so let’s go with that sure why not – Wonders by 16.
Players to watch out for are [checks notes] dogs105 Cubs2Lions DenieD Millky95 Tandy & Cap.
Captains please do the needful before midnight WA Bias time this coming Friday 1.
Bon Appétit, friends!
