I just can't imagine not eating meat. I mean, no steak, no lambchops, no meat pies during Xmas with cranberry sauce on them? I couldn't live that way.

I would never do that to my son...he deserves to be respected for his choices, whether they last long-term or not.
Last year, a person here at the office made a shredded chicken dish for a potluck. Since we have some Jewish/Muslim/etc. type folks who cannot/do not eat pork, they ate his chicken dish and complemented him. Later, he was bragging about how he put some pulled pork in the mix!! What a total douche! He has been pretty much shunned since, and deservedly so. I feel the same way about "tricking" a vegetarian into eating meat. Is that funny? Is the short term giggle worth the long-term damage? Nah...play nice, peeps! Just another reason why Canadians don't trust us! |

I don't get people who think it's funny to serve a vegetarian meat products.You don't laugh at taser videos, do you? he deserves to be respected for his choicesWhy? Not making any statements here, just playing Devil's Advocate. Should he be respected for any choice he makes? Is the prerequisite for respect as fickle and empty as the simple act of making a choice? |

I agree eric, that is disrespectful and I'd never actually put meat chunks in someone's food. more like powdered chicken broth...

Why do you care if they're poser vegetarians? Just let them be. They're not hurting anyone.

While I kinda see your point, CP, I don't really think it applies to this instance. Watching someone get tasered and thinking it's funny is very
different than purposely misleading someone who has chosen to forego the eating of meat and thinking THAT'S funny.
As to respecting someone's choice, I believe that definition #2 below speaks to that topic. Also, I don't see how a significant lifestyle change such as completely altering one's food intake can be thought of as "simple". re·spect (ri spekt′) transitive verb 1. To feel or show honor or esteem for; hold in high regard; to consider or treat with deference or dutiful regard. 2. To show consideration for; avoid intruding upon or interfering with; to respect others' privacy. 3. To concern; relate to. |

Since we have some Jewish/Muslim/etc. type folks whoFixed it for ya. Later, he was bragging about how he put some pulled pork in the mix!! What a total douche! He has been pretty much shunned since, and deservedly so.I agree 100%. You pull something like that, you should only mention it to a very select few close friends who share your same warped sense of humor and who you know will keep their mouths shut. Let the rest of the world go on thinking everything is roses. Bragging is petty and low. An inside joke that most would find just wrong is wicked funny. I feel the same way about "tricking" a vegetarian into eating meat. Is that funny?To some, yes. Ever seen Jackass? Lotta rather nasty pranks going on there. Not for everyone and that's just fine. But certainly for others. |

that sounds "bad"Trust me, all mixed up in one simmering pot? It's so damn good. To make it even better, toss some extra cheese in there and fry up some bite sized chunks of steak in oil on a frying pan, seasoning as you go, and toss them in as well. Gotta eat is all while it's warm though, lest it set up and you have to throw away the pot or buy a jackhammer. |

7-layer dip is always a hit. Easy too. Google it.

pumpkin gratin! so easy. jacques pepin just made it on PBS this weekend.
a can of pumpkin, 1 cup of 35% cream, 3 eggs, 1C grated swiss cheese, salt and pepper. mix well, put into a buttered casserole or gratin dish, and sprinkle with parmesan cheese. bake @ 350 for 35-45 minutes. it will look like an orange souffle when it's done. cheesy and yummy. 
too weird? |
