Like all birds, owls have no teeth to chew their food. Their food is usually swallowed whole, or in large chunks. In the stomach, the indigestible bones, fur and insect exoskeletons are formed into oval-shaped masses, called pellets.

Clearly, chocolate also contains fat and sugar, but it is worth noting that the nation with the lowest incidence of obesity and coronary heart disease in western Europe is also the one with the highest per capita chocolate consumption: Switzerland.

I found somewhere that Ireland of all places had the highest per capita consumption of chocolate but I also found the Switzerland answer so Okarol you're up.  I apologize for the late reply.  I actually posted it yesterday but the gremlins seem to have gotten it.

The crocus.  It's the stamens and they're hand picked which is why saffron is so expensive.
