  1. You may have to find a East Coast version of “Saint Of San Andreas” for praying to.
    What lunacy.

  2. Yeah well, ya need a permit to f**t, apply for in in triplicate and wait 3 weeks ta get it…..
    In New Jerk City….ya have to attend accredited courses (at yer expense), press hard (10 copies), a certified cheque or bank draft (for whatever the current bribe is),….and pass a back-ground check….

  4. Oh oh… We just had a dinner party last weekend. I didn’t get a permit but did serve my homemade Chianti.

  5. I’m almost at the point where risking poisonous everything, malaria, typhoid and machete attacks is worth it just to avoid this crap. Seriously, if you’re a bureaucrat, please kill yourself.

  6. Same thing in Ontario. The Dildo and Co. pretty well put the kybosh to church and community suppers where home-cooked food is served.
    Ministry of Health arseholes showed up at bake sales and poured javex over egg salad sandwiches.
    But, they voted for him the third time….

  7. That was a joke, right?
    Meanwhile Voyager 1 has entered interstellar space.

    We are midgets that stand on the shoulders of giants.

  8. This is a serious prank,right? Oh well. Guess I’ll have my elk burger and caribou steak Bar-b-Que tomorrow night,just like last Saturday. Any bets on how many gombah pansyies show up??? For my home grown,NONE regulated potato salad,and home made bread and beans to go along with the Pretty Eating and Tasty Animals?

  9. We should kill the beast by holding spontaneous church fetes and political party bake fests. We could have our children make and sell lemonade to passers-by,

  10. Dress the kids in black jump suites to act as guards against the riot squad when they come to shut your barbyQ down. Damn, Church fests are the
    best. Ah but only memories.

  11. Sure, if you wanna be tased for non-compliance. And don’t be threateningly holding that plastic butter knife within 15 feet of officer friendly.

  12. If they are charging for the meals, they are running a business and fall under the regulations for restaurants, etc. If they are charging membership in a club and serving meals only to club members, then it gets grayer. If no money is exchanged, the city can sod off.

  14. The black market thrives when governments get too greedy, corrupt and controlling. Government permits and regulations have gone way past ensuring health and safety.
    Devil’s Dictionary:
    Politics
    n. A strife of interests masquerading as a contest of principles.
    The conduct of public affairs for private advantage.

  15. This is happening in a lot of places, including rural Alberta and Saskatchewan. Church and fall suppers put on by smaller communities have been shut down unless everything is produced in a commercial kitchen. Thank God! Think of all the people that used to die because they ate home made food! We are finally safe!
    Definitely a case of a solution in search of a problem.

  18. I have been watching this trend for a while and have done many things like this but not quite like this. I love doing it but the person putting it on has to have a good kitchen to work in. It’s a lot of fun and it’s a cash business. I was a chef for 20 years and the kitchens in these peoples homes is much cleaner than in a restaurant. Plus you’re cooking for an enthusiastic audience who are there to have a good time not some miserable dickhead who shows up to complain.
    No red tape.
    No taxes.
    People having fun.
    The puritans can’t stand it.

  19. We have friends who own a small business ( not food related.) For the past several years they have held a BBQ to raise money for local charities. Usually they raise @ $5,000.
    They finally gave up after getting the McSquinty riot act read to them. Site plan, public washroom, hand washing stations, commercial refrigeration unit etc etc. All this for burgers and dogs. Result- $5,000 less for local charities.
    It is to weep.

  21. As I said. This age will be remembered as the “terror of the bureaucrats”
    A million little Nazis telling us all how to live.
    Given power beyond their intelligence to use.
    All dedicated to rules, or regulations. That entitle them as dictators in the relms they enforce. Enriched by gorging on those they plunder in the name of a “just society”.

  22. Mr Fudd said “For the past several years they have held a BBQ to raise money for local charities.”
    The left is intent on shutting all charities down. If it’s not red tape it’s lesbians insisting that religious groups cater to them that don’t believe in their “life style”. My bet is you have groups phoning every business in town and asking them to cater their event if you say yes, they hang up. If you say no they sue. I saw this when I was running bars in Toronto when the “smoking section” laws were brought in. People would stand in line and ask for a non smoking section. If you said ok and tried to take them there they just walked out. I just knew they were walking into every bar on Younge Street doing the same thing until they found a bar without a smoking section so they could create a fuss.
    Like I said “puritans”.
    Fascist puritans.

  23. Maybe we should all hold prayer meetings. Then repair to a bar afterwards. That will really upset them.

  24. You people DON’T understand.
    I’ve been on the inside,it ain’t pretty.
    My ex casually suggested a dinner party for me to meet her co-workers.
    I balked,I did not know these people,they were strangers with odd names,some hyphenated.
    Eventualy I succumbed to her arguments ” they are good people.I spend as much awake time with them as I do with you.” I agreed. The evening was set .The meal was not perfect,but very well done.I cooked like a happy British chef.
    BUT,one guest looked uncomfortable after the neal. He wanted to smoke a cigarette. I was feeling giddy and reckless,so I said ” Yeah,light up,light up”.
    He did,others also did. Soon there was a half-dozen people smoking and laughing,some were even burping. I was tempted to join,but stayed strong.My
    girlfriend just shrugged.
    I desperately wanted help,but none was available,nothing.It was horror,not the people laughing ,smoking,and smiling. But that I could not call anyone that would make them stop.
    Freedom is just another word for nothing left to lose,and I felt it that night.

  28. “Ministry of Health arseholes showed up at bake sales and poured javex over egg salad sandwiches.”
    I’m glad I wasn’t there to witness this. I’d have broken both his legs right there on the spot.

  29. The chances of one getting a food borne illness at such “illegal” events are less than in a “properly regulated” restaurant. Main reason is that one knows exactly who’s cooking the food and the level of interaction between cook and diner is far more intimate than between an anonymous chef in a restaurant and the diners. When interactions are that personal, unless one is dealing with a totally psychotic cook who laces an almond dish with cyanide, people do their best not to piss each other off. I’ve seen examples of very poor hygiene in “licensed” and “inspected” restaurants where the cook is either overworked, tired or hungover.
    This mania for regulation is part of the culture of “safety”. In the past one would have a shaman or priest to come in and bless the food whereas now one pays an exorbitant sum to have a state inspector come in and provide the appropriate blessing. I buy meat from local farms which is likely illegal as the farmers butcher their own animals and I know that it’s open range meat. Used to have a great source of open range chickens which were far tastier than any commercial chicken I’ve seen and the price of a couple of massive chickens was a 40 oz bottle of scotch so I guess one can say that no money changed hands.
    What’s needed is a mass revolt against the bureaucrats. Tarring and feathering should come back into style. The war against smokers has almost made me take up smoking again but I prefer to use safer nicotine delivery systems and just enjoy a cigarette or cigar every few years. People miss a meal where, after everyone finished eating, people would have a glass of cognac and a cigar.
    It wouldn’t surprise me if next there was a war on home cooked meals as this requires the use of “dangerous” knives which have sharp points. Not that long ago, a group of pneumocephalic British doctors proposed banning any knife with a sharp point and this would leave people with few options for preparing food. Likely the plan is to have people stop cooking (might cause fires, risk of cancer from overcooked food, etc) and eat only in state sanctioned food consumption places where it would be easier to ensure that appropriate portion sizes for the persons weight were consumed as well as ensuring that the food composition met all government requirements for fat content and ensured that no prohibited ingredients were used in the preparation of the meals. Given the lipophobia of Americans, likely use of butter would be totally illegal under the food safety regulations of the near future. It’s wet dreams of bureaucrats like this that make it crucial for the state to have an unarmed population as guns in the hands of non-police or military are far too dangerous to the health of government inspectors.

  32. Any presumption that a private residence is a public place and under government jurisdiction is such a stretch of logic, ethics and reality only a creepy statist quisling could make it.
    Same for presuming an invitation-only private party is a public event – these interventionist parasites are so far off the leash people have to start slapping then back into reality with civil actions and private prosecutions then start forcing governments to dismantle aggressive superfluous regulatory bureaucracy.
    As for a the toady CBS ratting out these private affairs as some illegal activity that puts public safety in peril, this just demonstrates how the MSM has abandoned its roll as a public watchdog and is now a fully compliant extension of government policy making/enforcement – disgusting.

  33. “…We should kill the beast by holding spontaneous church fetes and political party bake fests. We could have our children make and sell lemonade to passers-by,..”
    Yup, we could. But that would require some righteous anger and courage – increasingly scarce commodities in Canada.

  34. The best part was him talking about how secret and unknown it was. On the news. Right after they mentioned the exact website he uses.

  35. Soooooo…..now the bacon and eggs,hash browns,toast,beans and pancakes with syrup myself and 8 neighbours just had is illegal? At the campsite? Can’t be. We had Queerbec maple syrup.
    Broken legs is going to easy on the SOB.

  36. And as an after thought….when are people going to realize that punching a hippie and beating a bueracrat with a clue bat isn’t a bad thing?
