detlef Posted April 28, 2009 Share Posted April 28, 2009 One of our regular customers is celebrating his PHD defense with a dinner at our restaurant and wants us to put together a tasting menu. His best friend called up asking if we could name a few courses "When Pigs Fly" and "Hell freezes over" in honor of the fact that it has apparently taken this guy a long time to finish. When Pigs Fly will be some small bird stiffed with a pork stuffing Hell Freezes Over will be a spicy sorbet of some sort What I'm looking for is other expressions along the same line. Essentially ways of saying "it will never happen". You needn't come up with a dish as well, I can take care of that, but if you're inspired, don't let that stop you.
