NOTE FROM CARL:
Now after everybody in the US
has eaten themselves silly…


The Top 7 Thought Patterns
of Historic Culinary Pioneers


7> Little Caesar’s: “Hey, there’s no such thing as bad pizza, right?”

6> Cinnamon: “While Zoog was humping the knothole, he accidentally licked the tree bark, and he says it was tasty. I got us some to try -– from higher up on the tree.”

5> Honey: “Look! A hollow tree boiling over with thousands of aggressive, swarming, stinging insects! I shall now stick my hand in there and shove whatever I pull out into my mouth.”

4> Raisins: “Well, we all know how great fruit tastes when it goes bad… plus, these dried out grapes look like rabbit turds! Bonus!”

3> Smoked sausage: “So, you took all the parts we normally leave for the vultures, crushed them up with some strong-smelling weeds, then stuffed it all inside a long, slippery tube that used to be full of pigshit, and hung it over a smoky fire? That sounds fabulous!”

2> Kimchee: “Honey, where’s that spicy salad I made last summer? You BURIED it?”

and the Number 1 Thought Pattern of an Historic Culinary Pioneer…

1> Haggis: “Cheat on *me*, Patrick Fitsimmons? Let’s see how you like my sheep-lips-and-assholes sausage for dinner!”
