KIPlog cooks, eats (and drinks)

Venison, CWD and other losers

February 18th, 2003 · No Comments

Sour Bob lists stupid things stupid people say to restaurant servers. “Your chef forgot to cook this carpaccio. It’s completely raw!” or “Is this venison from Wisconsin? Because Wisconsin venison has chronic wasting disease and that can kill you.” “We don’t make a practice of serving lethal meat, sir.” KIPlog public service announcement: Restaurants aren’t allowed to serve wild deer. Also the disease causing prions (abnormally-shaped protiens) are not found in muscle meat and this disease has never been found to infect humans.

In other food humor, I’ve added Cooking for Losers to my list of food blogs. This site includes fabulous recipes like the potato chip sando – “Eat, and enjoy the sando while pretending that the crunching chip sounds are crunching lettuce sounds, thus deluding yourself into believing that you have a healthy diet.” and the Diet Egg Nog – “…it’s diet because with the raw egg there’s a slim chance that you’ll get salmonella and lose like 30 pounds.” Even though this site has been featured on metafilter, I should give credit to Sour Bob, who told me about it while on the way to a Tiki bar.
