So yesterday my mother emails me three different recipes for roast suckling pig! The first one I ignored, the second one began to confuse me, by the third one I was irritated. I emailed back and politely asked why she was sending recipes for roast suckling pig to a vegetarian. Her response was simply, "don't they sound wonderful? Don't you wish you could eat some?"
No!! I don't wish I could eat some. So now she's mad at me for suggesting that it is bad form to send such recipes. She thinks I should appreciate them from a culinary viewpoint!!
I made one for my Halloweeen party a couple years ago!!! I thought it was relaly good, but not too many people tried it! Wonder why? ??? ;D

Reminds me of the time as a small child I fell in love with "Green Eggs and Ham" and my bro decided to experiment with colour! He food-coloured one batch of scrambled eggs green, and the other blue...and we couldn't eat either one! My mom raved about our wasting food until she actually saw them...and agreed... :D
I've seen one and it looked disturbingly real. :D
Was it just for special effects or were people actually eating some?
It was part of a teen Food Fear Factor program at the library--and all the attendees were brave enough to try it! :D
my parents dont sent me recipes, but when they cook dinner and i sit with them (eating something else) they always tell me "you don't know what you're missing!" and my BF tried to get me to eat some chicken once and i said "no thanks, i know what chicken tastes like" he got kinda mad about that but whatever
send her the recipe for the Kitty Litter Box Cake (google it) and include the pictures. then say "so creative, and it sounds DELICIOUS, dont yah think?" ;)
OMG!!!!!!! :D ;D :D ;D ;D :D ;D
I had the EXACT same reaction! I gasped when I saw it... Hahahahaha. ;D
I want to make a vegan one!!! Ewwwwww. But really--I do.
You should send her emails with big banner text in them, phrases like:
FOOD WITHOUT SELFISHNESS
HEALTHY, TASTY FOOD
FOOD WITHOUT BLOOD OR PUS
And when she finally emails you to ask you what the hell, you can tell her, "yeah, doesn't it look good? Don't you wish you could have some?"
um. i didn't read all of the responses but this reminds me of right after i went vegan and my grandma sent me a little 'how to cook with velveeta' pamphlet. difference is, that's gross on so many levels.
ohhh, the clipping i get from dear old grandma ::) ;)
