Would you like a side order of resentment?


A few months ago I was chatting to journalist Julian Lee about something and used the term Schadenfreude. This quickly led into a discussion about how much we love the term but he made the funny and apt comment that it sounded more like a German cake than an emotional state. I then became fixated on the idea of creating a cake and calling it Schadenfreude Torte.

I googled the term and sure enough some smart person has already invented Schadenfreude pie.

A sliver is satisfying but too much can be hazardous to your health.
