MadamePhilosophy Posted July 23, 2008 Share Posted July 23, 2008 So, family dinners are pretty irritating when you've got a family with a "sense of humor". I'm still working on a thick skin, because honestly my sister's husband (been together with my sister for 14 years, grew up with him) is such a butthead when it comes to my food preferences. He always makes comments that he thinks are "funny" but to me they're just disrespectful and shitty. They had a cookout, and everyone was eating barbeque chicken. Greg's mom (my sister's husband's mom) scrounged up some bocca meat from the fridge, and I heated it up, added spices, chopped onion, shredded carrots, chopped green pepper, water, mushrooms, and some cornstarch (to get it to stick). I clumped it together, and yeah it didn't look to delicious at the time. "Sam, I didn't know you liked to eat poop!" He pointed at my uncooked burger, "That looks like poop!" He started laughing, along with his sister, my sister, and his mom. I've got two choices: get super pissed and throw it away because I've lost my appetite, or retort back with something relatively witty. "Yeah, I guess it does kind of look like poop...but at least it doesn't really have any in it, like your chicken. My food came out of the ground - yours was ripped out of the chest of a living thing, processed, injected with hormones, and shit on. So I guess, you're the shit eater, not me. " His face instantly went from to nom nom nom http://www.foodforthoughtcatering.ca/Assets/item_pics/DSC_0157.JPG http://images.google.com/url?q=http://www.animalsaustralia.org/features/compassionate_christmas/images/factory_farming13_battery_chicken_feces.jpg&usg=AFQjCNGIUEdj06HuiQn1Fc3TF1OalzOv6Ahttp://internetservices.readingeagle.com/blog/cities/raw%20chicken.bmp http://farm1.static.flickr.com/87/242841196_372f7f283f.jpg?v=0 ....Delicious, right meat eaters?

Zack Posted July 23, 2008 Share Posted July 23, 2008 I think that looks good. You are the queen of comebacks if I do say so myself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marcina Posted July 23, 2008 Share Posted July 23, 2008 Hehe nice one. Yeah, chicken is gross. Your burgers look quite yummy to me, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
medman Posted July 23, 2008 Share Posted July 23, 2008 Those veggie burgers look great to me, at least! I like ones where you can see the ingredients - the homogenized meat imitations seem much less like real food (and, ironically, it seems that they're meant to look like meat to appease the meat-eaters. I don't know too many veg*ns who care about having their burger look like a meat one). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr. Pink Posted July 23, 2008 Share Posted July 23, 2008 Is that last picture really a Chicken? It looks like a scene from John Carpenter's The Thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
