Caketails & Pietinis; Murder Burger & Mugly

CAKETAILS & PIETINIS

   From today's WALL STREET JOURNAL (I can't copy it; NYU Bobst has
restricted FACTIVA access and I'm avoiding the Bobst and its falling objects for a few
days), 15 October 2003, pg. 1, col. 4:

_Dinner and Drinks?_
_Now, They Come_
_In the Same Glass_

_"Bar Chefs" Add Ham, Basil_
   _And Gelatin to Cocktails;_
   _"Bloody Mary on a Plate"_
(...)
   Then there's the dessert cocktail.  A few months ago, the woners of the
New York City restaurant Dylan Prime, who also run a cocktail consulting company
called Drink Tank, developed Caketails and Pietinis, or cocktails that
imitate the taste of cake and pie.

(There's a photo of "The Amaretto Cheesecake Caketail," so expect this to
take off as the next hot food thing, just behind that naked "body sushi"--ed.)

MURDER BURGER

   I was walking to my miserable little (now non-paying!) job in the Bronx
and passed a sign at First Way Deli-Grocery, 1030 East Tremont Avenue, "HOME OF
THE MURDER BURGER."
   Can this be true?  A home for "Murder" advertised in the Bronx?
   I spoke to the man behind the counter.  It's simply a cheeseburger with
the works--lettuce, pickles. etc.  No, I didn't want to try "murder."
   There is a California franchise with this name.  It advertises burgers "to
die for."  Hey guys, Godfather's Pizza went out of business because of puns
like this.

MUGLY

   I was looking through my GOOD HOUSEKEEPING files for "pie a la mode" when
I found April 1889, pg. 255, "Every-Day Desserts...Mugly...255."  Another
recipe for "Mugly" appears about a year later.
   Mugly?  An ugly mug?  Monkey ugly?  Mother-fucking ugly is an everyday
dessert?
    "Mugly"--the slang term--is not in the HDAS and not in the CASSELL
DICTIONARY OF SLANG.  There are several entries at urbandictionary.com.
    I didn't see "mugly" in the American Peiodical Series Online.  It must
not have made the LADIES' HOME JOURNAL, for some reason.
