I'm running quite late on my post for this week. It will be ready soon, I promise. Busy busy. To hold you over, here's a poem I wrote a couple years ago:
Ode to Processed Meat Products
I must have a sandwich, I must have it now
packed with as many pork lips and parts of the cow.
Then I see it, I stop....i stagger
that grayish hunk they call braunshwagger
Roast beef, turkey breasts? those are for snobs
Give me chopped ham and give me gobs!
Oh, that Oscar Mayer, what he does with meat
that olive loaf he brews is truly elite.
and Carl Buddig he fashions a slice so shiny and thin
My Wonder bread begs “Oh Carl, please let me in!”
Ah, Spam...so shelf stable, so spongy so PINK
Into your mucous-like goo let my lips slowly sink.
Please don’t forget the souse and transluscent head cheese
Pretty please with mustard I beg on my knees.
Teeth gritted, fists clenched
will my thirst for liver loaf ever be quenched?

Meatless Monday
Finally some fun for my vegetarian pals! I tried a Boca Burger last night at my brother's house, and was quite happy with it. Less juicy than a real hamburger, but (with a thick tomato slice, some lettuce and mustard) the flavor and satisfaction factor was good! So I thought today I'd look into some meat substitutes and other vegetarian fun!
And I picked a good day for this research, seeing how it Meatless Monday and everything.
Slate reviews soy burgers and veggie burgers.
There are different types of vegetarians, and they have fancy names.
Peata has a "Cheat Meat" contest. Here are the winners. They also have a "World's sexiest Vegetarian" contest. Vote here!
Speaking of sexy vegetarians, here's an article on the best ways to meet other sexy veg singles.
This vegetarian cookbook, The Enchanted Broccoli Forest, is absolutely adorable! All hand written with cute drawings. Sweet!
Tofu Bacon? Tofu Car?
The good 'ol Tofurkey was voted best meat substitute of 2004 in Veg New's Veggie awards.
Play Famous Vegan Memory!
Now for some interesting recipes. Tex-mex veggie burgers...yum! Portobello Wellington...good idea! Mock Tuna salad? That's a little iffy. But it's got chick peas, so it can't be that bad.
Veg Blog. good reading.
And here's some examples of the Opposite of vegetarian eating:
The Lutherburger, named for Luther Vandross, is a cheeseburger served on a Krispy Kreme Doughnut! No, really. The same restaraunt makes the "Ham Dog" which is a hotdog wrapped in hamburger and covered with chili! whoa!
Hardee's Monster Burger has 107 grams of fat!!! ugh.
The 8500 calorie sandwich. yikes.
YAY veggies!
