Food is not a race. You need to eat more slowly.
How about McStudnetz?
It aint food !
Yes, he shoots, he scores! Nice stick handling, Nicko.
Yukon Gold and John West are having a McFight,
Let’s hope they do not super-size it!
If I whine enough, maybe the government will set up a McRib exchange program for me. I give them my old empty, dirty box, and they give me a nice new clean one with a McRib in it.
“…do they just breed boneless swine …”
Yeah, the boneless pig farm is next to the Boneless Chicken Ranch. The Far Side fans will get the joke. For those who aren’t think about a “Chicken Ranch” without bones (La Grange residents need not reply).

Just outside Vegas right.

Orlin, thats one of the reasons I love pork!
Wait a minute, Nicko, wait a minute, what about McKeeshka?
That’s it! Tonight’s SDA LNR is now in the can.
Lock it and pocket it!

That would go well with one of the Top Ten Rejected Campbell’s Soup Flavors:
(1) Sideburns and Barley.
Well I could have told Campbell’s that, Hannibal, what a weak dish. Completely unbalanced. Now, Sideburns, Barley, and Hurdy-Gurdy, that’s a classic.
(PS to Louise: Take two Pil’s and a juice and wait for Reader Tips.)
An eclectic emporium for the aural and taste buds this comment thread has become. Vitruvius, can we dehydrate these things, package them for a hardy shelf live, and push them into the global food retail supply chain for a tidy profit? This question is burning….
I told you before to lay off the excessive spices, Shaken.
(2) Tapwater and Lawn Trimmings
I spice only to the point necessary to ensure sufficient elbow and leg room on the GO train, Vitruvius. But your cautions are noted.

Ok, cream of gristle is right out for me, grind it up better and call it cream of pate. Old-fashioned grease and weasle, I had that for breakfast yesterday. Mink bisque sounds marvellous, I must try it with some truffle oil one day. Pretty good list though, thanks, Hannibal (but your Disney list is off topic).
I just had an eerie premonition that Paul Wells may show up any minute.
Why would anyone that has a Burger Baron in town choose McDonalds?
Guys,
Those are old 1988 googled David Letterman Top Ten lists.
Ya know, back when he was funny.
I specifically went to McDonalds today to set up my shtick in this thread, Ural. Not bad, eh? Though it is the case that I get a craving for a quarter-pounder about every three months. Yes, that’s right, it’s my quarterly quarter pounder. What? No, I don’t even know ‘er.
Still no sign of Manny.
Oh well, look on the bright side, I always say.
That’s one less festering pustulent boil to lance.

A successful enterprise will identify its niche markets and the demographics in which it sees opportunity.
You have your green diet. This includes a medley of appropriated foods from the various cultures, many equitorial, that have ensconced themselves in the tundra. These food items are intended to reduce one’s carbon footprint, state healthcare footprint, prevent procreation, minimize cellulite deposits, and ideally, be non-flatulent at the same time. If a food item crunches and drips, and has a non-english-sounding name, it is probably green, and permissible to eat if you are a socialist. This is the diet of the non predator by choice.
The diet of the predatory type is red in color, and often drips. Predators are right winged, and of necessity, have sharp teeth and are very mean.
There is always the third possibility, and epicurian correctness (EC) is no exception to this rule. The third class is the scavenger. The ultiimate opportunist – the underrated and unsung hero of the gastrosphere.
This is the untapped market, Vitruvius. Dumpster cuisine is frugal, offers endless variety, and serves a vital function in the gastrosphere. Dumpster meals can be reheated (and are often found already in this state) with solar energy. Wind energy is useful in maintaining food safety.
Pret a manger. Bon appetit, mon amis.

i remember mosyin’ thru the south(east texico)once upon a time and found mesself in that majickal tippin spot jus’ where the BBQ change fum beef to pig…..and i floated there like unto burridan’s ass….i’m heah now talkin’ to you so you know i must have made a decision.
You’re sure it wasn’t the peyote, John?
Hey, Nicko, she’s up now ~ tinyurl.com/67a6md ~ so I’m out of embargo. For your ease of reference, in honour of our McKeeshka discussion, here are The Matys Bros. performing Who Stole the Keeshka: sagaciousiconoclast.blogspot.com/2008/04/who-stole-keeshka.html
I remember seeing an attractive looking McRib poster with colourful sizzling meat… and moments later staring in queasy disgust at the gray piece of meat in a bun after having unfortunately taken a small bite…
… the McDonald’s employee who walked by asked me what was wrong. I told her.
I got my money back. Last time I ever wanted to try a McRib.
It’s sausage, Christoph. All the meat sold at McDonalds is sausage. Pattied, tubed, sliced, ribbed, what’s the difference. Oh, I understand, those of you who can afford to waste without giving it a second moral thought can happily go on living only on filet mignon and fois gras, but we hunters believe that if you’re gonna’ kill the critter for food, then you bloody well better eat the whole danm thing. Including the keeshka: blood sausage.
Personally, I don’t like a plate full of jiggling giblets, but make a proper sausage out of them, well, that’s moral eating. Of course, you may not think that McDonalds has proper sausages, regardless of the dietary engineering that goes into the product, yet it remains the case that: De Gustibus Non Est Disputandum
Vitruvius,
Our duty, as humans, is to assert our position on the top of the food chain … with it comes our moral responsibilities. That is why we invented sausage and condinments.
We did not invent sausages so we have a place to stick ground up filet mignon. On the matter of the McRib … what better way is there of saying “I own your ass” than a pig on a spit? From there we move down to recognizable chunks, like ham, ribs, bacon, chops etc. Anyone that would take the bones out and grind up the meat from a slab of ribs, is clearly turning their back on their duty and insulting the motives of the sausage inventor.
BTW: Oysters en Brochette sends a pretty clear message to both oysters and pigs.
Your brisket or your life! Good night, everyone 😉
How come the never put out a McHaggis sandwich?
It’s racism I tells ya.
Largs:
Because they don’t serve scotch at McD’s. Yet. 😉
And you ain’t nothing if not consistent.
