prasad.

prasad: shit that can be burned beyond recognition and still taste good.

explanation: at the end of a Hindu prayer, you select a small item burn in symbolic sacrifice brahman (the metaphysical blur that rules the universe). Then you eat your fire sacrifice smeared with honey.

So, the universe has been living mostly off of dough and s'mores for the last 1,000 years.

In fact, I think that this is technically how gulab jamun was created.
