Speaking of feline surprises, I had a friend once serve a Blatancy
(cause you couldn't call it subtle) at a potluck:

Mix together equal parts of brown and white sugar, add such spices as
you will.  Mix together chopped dates, raisins, figs (you know, the kind
of stuff that goes into peascods), roll into "logs" about 1/4 inch
around ad 2-5 inches long.  Place sugar in a long flat pan with 2 inch
sides (a new cat litter box works well, as does a lasagna pan), mix
"logs" with your sugar, place slotted spoon (or litter pan scooper) in
the pan so folks can server themselves, and serve hit forth.

He had people running up to him all day, munching on these things saying
"you know, that looks like...." to which he replied "yes, I know.  It's
a blatancy." ;-)
