Title: The WORST possible fortune-cookie fortune...
Post by: Solipsy on June 21, 2007, 03:18:35 PM
Scenario: You've just finished your delightful selection from your favorite local Asian restaurant... and now comes the moment to see what life has in store for you.  You unwrap the little cookie, crack it, and voila, you read:

(I'll start)

"Surprise! That wasn't chicken!"   ???

Now, what do YOU hope never to read?

this reminds me of a batch of cookies that were made about 27 years ago.They were all unfortune- like...eg. Go home...you drank to much...don't be cheap...leave a bigger tip etc.

For some reason they seemed to disappeared from the shelves. I rarely eat the things but i loved the notes..I guess the comedian responsible was told to desist.

Something similiar happened to a friend of mine, went to a Chinese
restaurant and asked to get something for his dog as well... But he was misunderstood... Long story short, after the meal, he and his wife noticed that their dog wasn't around...

But he took it quite well... He claims that he was very tasty...

Small dog, 20 minutes. I used to be able to prep a rabbit in less that 10. (Sorry, but it's true, rabbit is a viable meat source if you need it. So is squirrel. I just hate picking out all the shot.)

Heh, rabbit tastes like chicken.  :mrgreen:

Seriously, my dad had a bunch for a while and while we didn't ate them all (you don't get attached to the animals you plan to eat) 2 of them were dinner at different occasions. I don't know if I should make the tale creepier... (darn it, I will  :devil2: ) one of those died asphyxiated accidentally trying to escape, found in the morning done for lunch...

I well know THAT feeling!

My dad used to raise rabbits, when he was a boy.  I don't think he ever ate any of his "special pets" but, he does talk of eating rabbit as a kid, frequently.

With 11 brothers & sisters, ANY food-source was not sneered at, when he was growing up.   :mrgreen:

Rabbits are -in my eyes- a far more respectable source of meat than -say- horses (to keep with the spirit of the thread, this past trip in Rome I found horse meat in the supermarket fridge at very favorable prices, so I guess its ok now  :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen: ).
Title: Re: The WORST possible fortune-cookie fortune...

Rabbit was quite popular here historically. Myxamotosis did for its popularity though.

Eating horses (in comparison) is the sort of thing the French would  do  ;)

I agree, eating oats is more than naughty, it can be even nasty...

Oooh Goats, like lamb? Yumm...! ooops, erm, yeah,  mmm, right, ehem...

What's wrong with eating goat?

It is a very tasty meat. So is warthog, kudu, cow, horse, any herbivore really. Predators taste nasty.

Thinking about it, I've never eaten elephant, but lots of people did or do, so it must be tasty too....

Actually, Goat, I've changed my mind. Does anyone have a really big bed I can hide under?
Title: Re: The WORST possible fortune-cookie fortune...
Post by: Kiyoodle the Gambrinous on July 08, 2007, 11:12:51 PM
I don't think a bed will save you from the Goat.

But you might try it with democracy. He doesn't like it much... ;)

Bear can be quite nice, but they are not strictly predators.  I had some lovely bear meat from a black bear that had made a nuisance of itself by eating a farmer's oat crop and raiding his beehives.  I wouldn't eat dump bear, though. 

OTOH, large predatory fish are some of the tastiest (and heavily contaminated).

I'm rather fond of goat curry, myself.

I have to say that gator-beef jerky is really tasty. Tasted like beef (don't think gators taste like much, so no surprise) and was pleasantly flaky.

The way things are going...they might vanish in a puff of smoke before they get that far.

Dan's carry-on bag has gone missing in Barcelona. (Stolen? Misplaced? Couldn't tell, bad phone connection.) And the check I was depending on for him to have some spending money (and for me to be able to make the house payment, after having to have car repair done unexpectedly) has not shown up yet...

First stop on the trip and BAM...problems.

Griffin, PM me a phone number they can call when they get to London, and we'll see if it can be worked out. They are to be there 26-29 October.

I'm living without mine for 6 weeks. I'm NOT a happy camper.

(Two auto related mishaps--not wrecks, just problems--are NOT adding to the feelings of 'capable person' that I had about him going. I'm furious that I had to spend a fortune on something that I could have fixed myself, had I not had the problem on the damn freeway in Houston.)

Not only do I miss him, but I am having to fork-feed that Silly Schnauzer because he doesn't eat well when he's upset, and he misses his Daddy. He's a Big Boy, and won't eat from spoons, only forks. :dontknow: :dontknow:

Spencer plays picky eater WAY too much... ::) ::)

Of course, his Auntie Denise fed him flatbread and hummus this afternoon while Mommy took Grandma to the physical therapist, so mere dog food has no appeal. People food is SO much more interesting.

Spencer LOVES my friend Denise. Wherever she sits, he gets next to her, then puts a possessive paw on her and sort of moves in on her from there. He'll be lounging across her lap within 2 minutes of her sitting down. Denise is NOT a dog person. However, she's a Spencer person. He's just Mr. Personality! He also conned her out of half her frozen yogurt.

If he were human, he'd be a total lothario.
