On Veggiefoodstuff

I skipped out on breakfast this morning, and so was looking forward to a nice little lunch purchased from the nearby “bento stand.” Except, of course, it was closed today. Ack! What to do, what to eat!

Karel: It just means I’ll probably sort of vanish from the office a wee bit early, stop somewhere for a bite before going home.
Mari: you should really stock some food for times like this…
Karel: ACK!
Karel: I have a box of Triscuits in my bottom desk drawer!
Mari: yay!

Yep! I’d stored some snacky goodness away for just such an emergency. Mind you, Mari had to remind me to look for it. But wait, there’s more!

Karel: And then someone says, “free veggie dogs in the lunch room!”
Mari: see? it all works out 😉

That’s what she thinks…

Karel: *cough* Ewww. Okay, they’re not very tasty. But, it’s food. Beggars, choosers, etc.
Karel: (two bites later) Okay, they’re not just untasty, they’re nasty.
Mari: LOL
Mari: lots and lots of mustard will fix anything
Mari: I hate veggie dogs too
Mari: so i speak from experience
Karel: Not enough dijon poupon yellow crap in the world to make [this veggie dog] edible.
Karel: Bleah. I’m gonna be downing triscuits in a vain attempt to “saltine” that taste away.
Mari: good luck
Karel: I’m even MORE glad I have this box of triscuits now!
Karel: They ought to put warning labels on those things.
Karel: “WARNING: If knowing how hot dogs are made isn’t enough to keep you from eating them, two bites of these veggie dogs will cure you forever!”
Mari: heh

Seriously, people. Why on earth would you make “vegetarian fake meat products” in the first place, let alone make them so inedible? Is it some sort of evil backhanded plot to turn people off of meat-like foods altogether?

A note to those who arrange free food for our building: Please, please, if you’re going to have meat-like products, let them be real meat instead of vegetarian goop dressed up like meat. Thank you.

Karel: *grin* And it all becomes a journal entry.
Mari: hey you write what you know
Karel: And what do I know? That veggie dogs taste like ass.
Mari: really? when was the last time you tasted ass? *grin*
Karel: Thppppt. Fine, mock my use of colloqualism.
Mari: ok i will
Mari: hee hee

    You know you’ve got a problem when you have to fake something you wouldn’t eat under normal conditions. I think that is taking veggie eating just a bit too far.

    Sorry folks, I didn’t claw my way to the top of the food chain to eat vegetarian hot dogs. To possibly eat vegetarians, yes; veggie-dogs, no.

    “Vegetarian” is a primitive word meaning “lousy hunter.” And trust me, well-cleaned ass tastes far better than Morningstar products.

    oh come on! Morningstar Farms Breakfast Strips are good… they are not real bacon, but they are tasty for what they are… The fake chicken is good for being fake chicken 🙂 I like meat as much as the rest of you (heh heh i’ll just not go there), but i am willing to admit that MF Fake Bacon is tasty…

    TMI TMI TMI!!

    I still think veggie dogs tastes worse than ass (and yes, i have done that so i can compare)

    hee hee hee!
