This Is What Happens When A Fly Lands On Your Food
Flies can't eat solid food, so to soften it up, they vomit on it. Then they
stamp the vomit in until it's a liquid, usually stamping in a few grams for good
measure. Then when its good and runny, they suck it all back again, probably
dropping some excrement at the same time. And then...when they've finished
eating, ...it's your turn.

The Gastronomical Bean Story
Once upon time there lived a man who had a maddening passion for baked beans.
He loved them, he adored them, he yearned for them. But they always had a very
embarrassing and somewhat lively reaction on him. Then one day, he met a girl
and fell in love. When it was apparent to him that they would marry, he thought
to himself, "She is such a sweet and gentle girl that she would never go for
this kind of carrying on." Thus, he realized she might be embarrassed and
humiliated by his addiction to baked beans. So, he made the supreme sacrifice
and gave up his beloved baked beans.
They were married shortly thereafter.
Some months later his car broke down on the way home from work. Since they
lived in the country, he called his wife and told her that he would be late
because he had to walk home. On the way, he passed a small cafe and decided to
call his wife and tell her that he would be late for supper. As he entered the
cafe, the smell of baked beans overwhelmed him. He still had several miles to
go, and decided that he could walk off any side-effects before reaching home.
But before he knew it, he had eaten three large plates of baked beans. Even as
he left the cafe, the effects began to be felt. All the way home he putt-putted
and after arriving, felt reasonably safe that he had putt-putted his last. Just
as he reached his home, however, he felt a great rumbling inside and was seized
with a terrible urgency. As he waited just outside his front door to release
one last noxious output, his wife threw open the door. She seemed somewhat
excited to see him and exclaimed, "Darling, I have the most wonderful surprise
for dinner tonight." She then blindfolded him and then led him to his chair at
the head of the table.
He seated himself, and just as she was ready to remove the blindfold, the
telephone rang. She made him vow not to touch the blindfold until she returned,
then went to answer the phone. When she had gone for the phone, he seized the
opportunity, shifted his weight to one leg, and loudly broke wind. It was not
only sonorous, but also ripe as rotten eggs. He took the napkin from his lap
and vigorously fanned the air about him. Things had just returned to normal
when he felt another urge coming on him, so he shifted his weight to the other
leg and let go again. This was a true prize winner; it sounded like a tuba and
smelled so bad that he started gagging. While keeping his ear on the
conversation in the hall, he went on like this for ten minutes letting out
powerful bursts that rattled the windows and shook the dishes on the table until
he knew the phone farewells from his wife indicated the end of his freedom. He
placed his napkin on his lap and folded his hands on top of it, and smiling
contentedly to himself, he was the very picture of innocence when his wife
returned, apologizing for taking so long. She asked if he had peeked and he, of
course, assured her that he had not. At this point, she removed the blindfold,
and there was his surprise. Twelve dinner guests seated around the table for a
Happy Birthday party for him.

First take your hedgehog and tell it to stop breathing. When it has expired,
take it back and get new one. Better still, get two this time. Take the first
one and cut its head off. Then cut off the forelegs and the hind legs. Then
chop it up slowly and throw it in the fire because you don't need this one - it
was just a warning to the other that he'd better co-operate. Test the other
hedgehog to see if he's fresh. To do this, hold it and twist it firmly. If the
hedgehog makes a lot of noise, it's fresh. Then stand it on its nose and throw
bananas at it. Take the hedgehog and put it on one side and then on the other
side. Procure the rest of the ingredients. Borrow three eggs and steal a jar
of cream, two thirds of a pound of butter and a tin of beef. Now, beat the
eggs, whip the cream, strangle the butter. Now, bully the beef. Pump the
mixture into the hedgehog, bake in a warm oven for 10 minutes. Then get out of
the oven, put the hedgehog in. Baste, grind, grate, squeeze it, knead it
firmly, tread on it, kick it, pull its teeth out, smash its face in, tear its...

A Jew and an Italian were arguing over which one could make a dime go
further. So they decided to get together later in the week and compare.
So when the did, the Jew goes first. He says: "I took my dime and bought a
cigarette. The first day, I smoked half and saved the ashes. The second day, I
smoked the other half and saved the ashes. The third day, I ate the butt and
fertilized my plant with the ashes I saved.
The Italian replies: "That's nothing! I took my dime and bought a sausage.
The first day, I scooped out half and ate it. The second day, I scooped out the
other half and ate it. The third day, I took a shit in the empty casing, took
it back to the store and said 'This sausage smells like shit' and got my dime
back!"

There was an old guy who lived a few houses away who managed to keep a super
clean lawn, despite the fact that everybody in the neighborhood had dogs on the
loose. I couldn't figure out how he managed this until early one morning I saw
him out on the lawn with a little bottle, putting a few drops of its contents on
the dog shit put there the night before.
So I walk up to him and ask him how the bottled stuff, whatever it was, made
the shit disappear.
He responded "Bacon grease."

The Non-Stress Diet
From the Tubac Market Matters (Tubac, Arizona)
This diet is designed to help you cope with stress which normally builds up
during the day.
Breakfast
1/2 Grapefruit
1 Slice Whole Wheat Toast, Dry
8 oz. Skim Milk
Lunch
4 oz. Lean Broiled Chicken Breast
1 cup Steamed Spinach
1 cup Herb Tea
1 Oreo Cookie
Mid-Afternoon Snack
Rest of the Oreos in the package
2 Pints Rocky Road Ice Cream
1 Jar Hot Fudge Sauce
Nuts, Cherries, Whipped Cream
Dinner
2 Loaves Garlic Bread with Cheese
Large Sausage, Mushroom & Cheese Pizza
4 Cans or 1 Large Pitcher of Beer
3 Milky Way or Snickers Candy Bars
Rules For This Diet
1. If you eat something, and no one else sees you eat it, it has no calories.
2. When drinking a diet soda while eating a candy bar, the calories in the
candy bar are canceled by the diet soda.
3. When you eat with someone else, calories don't count as long as you don't eat
more than they do.
4. Foods used for medicinal purposes NEVER count. Example: hot chocolate,
brandy, toast, and Sara Lee Cheesecake.
5. If you fatten up everyone else around you, then you look thinner.
6. Movie-related foods do not have calories because they are part of the
entertainment package and not part of one's personal fuel. Example: Milk
Duds, Buttered Popcorn, Junior Mints and Tootsie Rolls.
7. Cookie pieces contain no calories. The process of breaking the cookie causes
calorie leakage.
8. Late-night snacks have no calories. The refrigerator light is not strong
enough for the calories to see their way into the calorie counter.
9. If you are in the process of preparing something, food licked off knives and
spoons have no calories. Examples: Peanut Butter on a knife and ice cream on
a spoon.
Food of the same color have the same number of calories. Examples are spinach
and pistachio ice cream, mushrooms and white chocolate. Note: Chocolate is a
universal color and may be substituted for any other.

Clearly it is not the lovelorn sufferer who seeks solace in chocolate, but
rather the chocolate-deprived individual, who, desperate, seeks in mere love a
pale approximation of bittersweet euphoria.
As with most fine things, chocolate has its season. There is a simple memory
aid that you can use to determine whether it is the correct time to order
chocolate dishes: any month whose name contains the letter A, E, or U is the
proper time for chocolate.
Carob is a brown powder made from the pulverized fruit of a Mediterranean
evergreen. Some consider carob an adequate substitute for chocolate because it
has some similar nutrients (calcium, phosphorus), and because it can, when
combined with vegetable fat and sugar, be made to approximate the color and
consistency of chocolate. Of course, the same arguments can as persuasively be
made in favor of dirt.

chocolate lovers!)

Listen, then: let any man who shall have drunk too deeply of the cup of
pleasure, or given to work too many of the hours which should belong to sleep;
who shall find the accustomed polish of his wit turned to dullness, or be
tortured by a fixed idea which robs him of all liberty of thought; let all such,
we say, administer to themselves a good pint of ambered chocolate . . . and they
will see marvels. - Brillat-Savarin

With more than 12 billion catalogs being mailed annually, it's little wonder
that marketers are playing fast and loose with mailing lists. In one
particularly cruel move, the proprietors of a chocolate catalog purchased the

immediately, but the weight-loss group wised up and now keeps it clients' names
to itself.

Here's a delightful treat I made for an office Christmas party:
A gelatin mold made with Knox Unflavored Gelatin and red food coloring. One
would think that a flavorless food would not be at all difficult to swallow, but
believe me, from the looks of people who inserted cold masses of gelatinous glop
into a mouth that was expecting sweets, the experience is unexplainably
horrifying! Some claimed to be nauseated by the feel of it; others politely
swallowed. Great fun!

that she thought grasshoppers tasted "creamy and midly sweet, although DeFoliart

China Says Ants Can Spice Up A Maggot Diet
Beijing (Reuter, 1/26) - China's official Xinhua news agency, which announced
this week that maggot extract is a good source of nutrition, urged people
Thursday to add ants to their diet with a set of recipes cooked up by a
professor.
Wu Zhicheng, "an expert on ant diet" based in the central city of Nanjing,
has worked out dozens of recipes for ant-based cakes, teas and wines in an
effort to promote ant eating, it said.
"Ants are a miniature nutritious treasury," Xinhua quoted Wu as saying,
adding that ants contained more zinc than either soybeans or pig liver.
Xinhua said Chinese have been eating ants for more than 3,000 years and "the
longevity of many old people who are now over 100 years old has been found to be
connected with an ant diet."
The edible ant suggestion follows Xinhua's report Saturday that announced a
scientific team had worked out a way to develop maggots as a "huge new source
of nourishment for the 1990s."
"Maggot products are surprisingly appealing," Xinhua said.

A January 1994 Reuters News Service story on Manuel Oliveira's ice cream shop in

eggplant, smoked trout, spaghetti parmesan, chicken with rice, and spinach. He
said some flavors fail; he once abandoned avocado ice cream, and tossed out 99
pounds of it, because it wasn't smooth enough.

A rare delicacy is sauteed Sloth a la Dortmunder. Using the middle toe of the
great Australian three-toed sloth - the only edible part of that large, furry,
indolent creature - the careful chef debones it, pounds it as with veal, and
sautees it briefly over a hot flame with shallots, carrot circles, and just a
touch of Tabassco. Prepared in this fashion, sloth is an excellent main course,
not unlike alligator in texture and taste. Many people are under the false
impression that sloth does not make a good meal, but this is because they've
eaten it improperly prepared. It can only be sauteed, A La Dortmunder, a fact
ill-appreciated in culinary circles. Too many cooks broil the sloth!!!

In America, if you want to split the cost of an evening out, you say you are
"going Dutch," since the Dutch are well known for their frugality. The Dutch,
on the other hand, call the same arrangement "op z'n Amerikaans" (going
American) because the Americans are known for their egalitarian nature!
In English, the bird "turkey" was named as though it came from Turkey. In

French fries aren't really French. In fact, they were invented by the

Lick That Plate Clean - And Then Eat It (Reuters)
Taipei
A company in the Republic of China on Taiwan has invented what it claims is
the world's first range of edible tableware.
"Our bowls and plates are made of oatmeal and can be eaten or thrown away
after use. Unlike plastic foam, they won't cause any pollution because birds
and dogs can eat them," Lin Wan-jung, spokesman for Taiwan Sugu C., said
yesterday.
"The surface is glossy just like china... They're the first of their kind in
the world," he said.
Production will start next week and is intially set at 20,000 bowls and
plates a day, Lin said, adding that he expects the inventions to be popular in

Still Hungry? Eat The Plate
Taipei, Taiwan (AP) - Diners tempted to lick a plate after a delicious meal
can now go a step further - eat the plate.
Chen Liang-erh, 50, an amateur inventor, announced Friday that he had
perfected an edible plate made from wheat grain, and that he planned to
mass-produce it and other edible crockery including cups, bowls and food
containers.
Chen spent six years developing the plate, which he said would retail at
about 7 cents each.
Diners who don't want to eat the items - which taste like unsalted popcorn -
can boil them for a nutritious meal for animals, he said.
Chen said this can help reduce pollution caused by discarded crockery. The
only disadvantage, he said, is his crockery cannot be washed and reused.

Biology Of Snack Cakes
Prepared by Eric Kollenberg
21 Feb. 1986
I. Introduction
As you probably know (unless you're incredibly stupid), life on this planet
(Earth) is divided into three basic groups - plants, animals, and snack cakes.
Although volumes of boring material have been written about the former two
subjects, there is a notable lack of reference material covering the latter. So
I made some up.
II. Evolution And Classification
Snack cakes developed over two-and-a-half zillion years ago (and if you look on
the shelves of some 24-hour convenience stores, you can find samples nearly that
old), when the seas were full of Campbell's primordial soup. This prehistoric
mixture of propylene glycol, potassium benzoate, butylhydroxytoluene, sodium
citrate, primitive emulsifiers, and other "building blocks of snack cake"
spawned the first one-celled crumbs. Eventually, these crumbs began to colonize
around central specialized cells called endofill (known to the layperson as
"creme filling"). The colonies developed into types: spongospores and
diablospores (devil's food cake). An example of the former is the common
Twinkie ("Hostus* hostilus"), the latter is typified by the primitive "Suzy Q"
("Hostus satanis"). In a bid for survival, some varieties, such as the "Hostus
hostum" (Ho-Ho) and the "Hostus zippum" (Ding-Dong) evolved protective inedible
outer shells, or exofrostings.
There are many gaps in the scheme, such as the common crumb cake, which some
have suggested has an extraterrestrial origin, and the mythical "Little Debbie."
However, these topics are outside the scope of this paper, which is another way
of saying that I'm getting tired of typing.
III. Biochemistry
What complex interaction of RNA, DNA and enzymes is responsible for the behavior
of these species? What are the chemical reactions occurring within the cell
tissue? Do I look like a chemist? How the hell should I know?
IV. Feeding
The Suzy-Q is a typical example of mimicry in the natural world. Resembling a
food item, it lies in wait in its natural habitat, the grocery store shelf.
Then it dives down the throat of the unsuspecting victim, gagging it. The
Suzy-Q now turns itself inside out like a feeding starfish, and digests the
victim with its potent creme filling.
V. Reproduction
"Oh, boy," you're thinking. Well, you sickening little pervert, you don't think
I'm going to pander to your prurient curiosity, do you? Actually, I'd be glad to
(especially for money), but the breeding habits of snack cakes have never been
observed. This is something of a mystery, since more specimens are always being
sighted under car seats, behind refrigerators, and behind the legs of vending
machines. Speculation about the reproductive habits of the common Twinkie
have... Naahh, that's too disgusting to even think about.

of other species.
-= food humor =-= 39 =--------------------------------------------------------
Twinkies
In an effort to clarify questions about the purported durability and unusual
physical characteristics of Twinkies, we subjected the Hostess snack logs to the
following experiments:
Exposure
A Twinkie was left on a window ledge for 4 days, during which time an inch and a
half of rain fell. Many flies were observed crawling across the Twinkie's
surface, but contrary to hypothesis, birds, even pigeons, avoided this potential
source of substance. Despite the rain and prolonged exposure to the sun, the
Twinkie retained its original color and form. When removed, the Twinkie was
found to be substantially dehydrated. Cracked open, it was observed to have
taken on the consistency of industrial foam insulation; the filling however,
retained its advertised "creaminess"
Radiation
A Twinkie was placed in a conventional microwave oven, which was set for
precisely 4 minutes - the approximate cooking time of bacon. After 20 seconds,
the oven began to emit the Twinkie's rich, characteristic aroma of artificial
butter. After one minute, this aroma began to resemble the acrid smell of
burning rubber. The experiment was aborted after 2 minutes 10 seconds when
thick, foul smoke began billowing from the top of the oven. A second Twinkie
was subjected to the same experiment; this Twinkie leaked molten white filling.
When cooled, this now epoxylike filling bonded the Twinkie to its plate, defying
gravity: it was removed only upon application of a butter knife.
Extreme Force
A Twinkie was dropped from a ninth-floor window, a fall of approximately 120
feet. It landed right side up, then bounced onto its back. The expected
"splatter" effect was not observed. Indeed, the only discernible damage to the
Twinkie was a narrow fissure on its underside; otherwise, the Twinkie remained
structurally intact.
Extreme Cold
A Twinkie was placed in a conventional freezer for 24 hours. Upon removal, the
Twinkie was not found to be frozen solid, but its physical properties had
noticeably "slowed". The filling was found to be the approximate consistency of
acrylic paint, while exhibiting the mercurylike property of not adhering to
practically any surface. It was noticed the Twinkie had generously absorbed the
freezer odors.
Extreme Heat
A Twinkie was exposed to a gas flame for 2 minutes. While the Twinkie smoked and
blackened and the filling in one of its "cream holes" boiled, the Twinkie did
not catch fire. It did, however produce the same "burning rubber" aroma noticed
in the irradiation experiment.
Immersion
A Twinkie was dropped into a large bucket filled with water, the Twinkie floated
momentarily, then began to list and sink. Viscous yellow tendrils ran off its
lower half, possibly consisting of a water-soluble artificial coloring. After 2
hours, the Twinkie bloated substantially. Its coloring was now a very pale tan
- in contrast to the yellow, urine-like water that surrounded it. The Twinkie
bobbed when touched, and had a gelatinous texture. After 72 hours, the Twinkie
had increased roughly 200 percent of its original size. The water had turned
opaque, and a small, fan-shaped spray of filling had leaked from one of the
"cream holes". Unfortunately, efforts to remove the Twinkie for further
analysis were abandoned when, under light pressure the Twinkie disintegrated
into an amorphous cloud of debris. A distinctly sour odor was noted.
Summary of Results
The Twinkie's survival of a 120-foot drop, along with some of the unusual
phenomena associated with the "creamy filling" and artificial coloring, should
give pause to those observers who would unequivocally categorize the Twinkie as
"food". Further clinical inquiry is required before any definite conclusions
can be drawn.

In August of 1993, the Economic Evening News of Taiyuan, China, reported that a
woman in her thirties, unidentified in the story, had eaten more than 800 rubber
nipples from baby bottles in the last three years. A province health official
said all family members apparently liked the smell of rubber.

Scene: A table at a Chinese restaurant. A patron has just been seated. The
restaurant is being run by an oriental family. The waiter has a heavy Oriental
accent.
Man: Hi! You must be the waiter.

Waiter: Yes, and you must be the customer! How may I serve you?
Man: May I have my order of fun, please?
Waiter: We don't serve fun here. Not that kind of business.
Man: What?
Waiter: My daughter is *waitress*, not for fun ...
Man: No!! I mean the kind of fun in the kitchen ... in the wok!
Waiter: Ugh! Fun in the wok! You Americans are *very* strange!
Man: No, no! Look, I want that order of beef chow fun!
Waiter: Ah, you want CHOW fun!
Man: That's what I said!
Waiter: So sorry. You are the customer.
Man: You are the waiter.
Waiter: How may I serve you?
Man: Just get me my order.
Waiter: No problem.
The waiter walks toward the order window.
Waiter: One order beef chow fun!
Man: Oh, waiter! No MSG!
Waiter: One order beef chow fun! Hold MSG!
Cook: Two order beef chow fun! One no MSG!
Waiter: No! ONE order beef chow fun! No MSG!
Cook: You say TWO order beef chow fun! One no MSG!
Waiter: No! I say one order beef chow fun, then I say no MSG!
Cook: No, you say one order beef chow fun, and one order beef chow fun, no MSG!
That TWO order beef chow fun, one no MSG!
Waiter: Look ... I only want ONE order beef chow fun, okay?
Cook: Any MSG?
Waiter: No!
Cook: (mumbles) Nobody like MSG. Don't know why. Taste good. Maybe make you
a little nervous, but so does coffee ...
The waiter returns to the table.
Waiter: Cook cook your order now. Anything else?
Man: Let me look at the menu. (Looks at the menu) Hey, waiter! What's this
on the menu?
Waiter: (Looks at the menu) Look like food.
Man: That's disgusting! Don't you guys clean your menus?
Waiter: Why?
Man: Well ... uh, I don't know. What is it?
Waiter: Look like chow fun.
Man: Really? Hmmm.
The man pulls the fragment of chow fun off the menu and EATS it.
Man: Mmmm! That's pretty good chow fun!
Waiter: That BEEF chow fun! You like?
Man: Yes. It was very tasty. I can't wait for my order now.
Waiter: How you know of chow fun?
Man: What do you mean?
Waiter: Most people order rice, noodles, egg roll, won ton ... but YOU order
chow fun! You Chinese?
Man: Yes, as a matter of fact.
Waiter: You from China? What part of China you from?
Man: Oakland.
Waiter: Ahh! Oakland not in China!
Man: Try telling that to my parents.
Cook: Order ready! One beef chow fun, no MSG!
Waiter: Here you are! One beef chow fun!
Man: Thanks. Wait. Why is there a spoon? Where's my chopsticks?
Waiter: Chow fun usually side dish. We serve with spoon.
Man: Well, I suppose I can use the spoon. Hey, what's this side dish?
Waiter: (Looks at the little dish) Don't know. Hey, cook!! Come out here!
The cook returns to the table.
Cook: Yeah?
Man: What's this white powder on this side dish?
Cook: Oh! That MSG.
Man: I said NO MSG.
Cook: I know. That why I put on side dish. In case you change your mind.
Man: I WON'T change my mind! I don't like MSG!
Cook: Look. Little bit of MSG, no hurt. Eat 5 gallon MSG, then maybe hurt.
Man: Well, I've heard people reacted strangely to it ...
Cook: (Angry) Look! I eat it! Prove to you that MSG a-okay!
The cook takes a heaping spoonful of MSG and swallows it.
Cook: (Smiles.) See? Nothing wrong! Everything okay.
The cook stops smiling. Suddenly, the cook falls to the ground and shakes
uncontrollably.
Man: Uh-oh. Maybe we should get a doctor.
Waiter: No. He just on his break. He be okay in one hour.
Man: You guys are nuts. Just leave me alone.
Cook: (Gasps) I ... need ... water!
Waiter: You customer?
Cook: No.
Waiter: You not customer, I no serve you.
Man: May *I* have some water?
Waiter: You customer?
Man: Yes. Are you a waiter?
Waiter: Yes, how may I serve you?
Man: I want some water.
Waiter: Sorry. I'm on my break.
Man: All right. Who will be serving me?
Waiter: My daughter. The waitress.
The waiter leaves and his daughter, the waitress goes to the table. She is
absolutely gorgeous...
Man: You're the waitress?
Waitress: Yes, you are customer?
Man: Yeah.
Waitress: How may I serve you?
Man: I want some more fun.
Waitress: (slaps the patron) I'm not that kind of girl!
Man: (Sighs) Just get me another order of beef chow fun.
Cook: (From the floor) No MSG!

One day, Bill and Tom went to a restaurant for dinner. As soon as the waiter
took out two steaks, Bill quickly picked out the bigger steak for himself.
Tom wasn't happy about that: "When are you going to learn to be polite?"
Bill: "If you had the chance to pick first, which one would you pick?"
Tom: "The maller piece, of course."
Bill: "What are you mumbling about then? The smaller piece is what you want,
right?"
