"What is like ice, but burns like fire?"
I think they got the riddle wrong in Turandot; the answer should be "Kozlik's mustard."

Yay! for their POM pomegranates, each as big as my head with plump seeds that explode with tart, juicy flavor (2 for $5 on a recent visit). I would go back to get more of these amazing antioxidant bombs.
