First.
One troll in oil please!
It’s nice that they have something for those on a vegetarian diet. Of course, eating an entire vegetarian is probably a rather large meal.
Not if the vegetarian is a baby.
Quite true! I hadn’t considered that, since I haven’t known too many babies that were vegetarians.
I think babby food is veggies.
Well, milk, really (depending on the age of the baby). Anyhow, the thing is, anymore they’ve got these take-home containers, so if you can’t eat the entire vegetabletarian at one time you can take the leftovers home to eat later (it’s so convenient).
STFU noob.
A vegan baby would have to use soy formula and avoid the pureed meats or dairy products in any baby food. (In fact, my daughter had to have soy formula anyway, since when she was an infant she’d blow up like a balloon if she had any dairy products. Now she practically lives on cottage cheese.) I would think it’s rare for an infant to commit to a vegan lifestyle, although no doubt some parents make the decision for them.
I only said vegetarian, not vegan.
Well, having been at one time an ovolactovegetarian myself, I am well aware of the distinctions. But usually the most committed vegetarians are the vegans, and I would imagine most vegan parents would have their babies on a vegan diet. Of course, the likelihood that they would then sell said infant to a restaurant for cooking seems rather low…
It would, after all, be extremely hypocritical for a vegetarian to turn a child over to be eaten, since babies are obviously made of meat!
At least THEY’RE not eating it.
anyone wanna guess what Sujukakia Smyrneika
is? its on the english side after all…
Use Capitals, but not over using them. Spell correctly, use punctuation, and use a username that does not involve innuendo.
Pot, meet kettle. “Babby” is hardly correct spelling.
That was a typo.
“Use Capitals, but not over using them. Spell correctly”
Yeah, and you’re talking?
See, now, that was rude. And uncalled for. And I didn’t even point out that you misspelled “baby” (Jesus de Christo, it’s only four letters). You shouldn’t be all taking it out on me just because you don’t like to ask for a take-home container. Get over it.
I was a vegetarian as a baby, John. Actually, I was on and off my entire life until about a year ago.
I’m glad you’ve gotten your entire life back. It must have been strange without it.
I think every baby is actually a vegetarian, seeing as all they have is breast milk.
But vegans consider any animal product to be off limits. This includes dairy products; I don’t know if they consider a human mother nursing in that same category.
I know who’d wanna eat a whole vegetarian
SOLENT GREEN IS….Yadda, Yadda, You know the rest…
Delicious?
Was I right?
Um, no. Go read the book. Go on, it won’t hurt you.
Possibly billy mays, since he’s dead, I suppose.
YES, I AM!! AND YOU CAN BE DEAD, TOO! WHY WAIT ENDLESS YEARS FOR DEATH WHEN YOU CAN ORDER IT TODAY??? WITH NEW SOOEY-SIDE, YOU TOO CAN BECOME DEAD BEFORE YOU EVEN HAVE TO MAKE THE CREDIT CARD PAYMENTS FOR IT!!! MILLIONS HAVE TRIED SOOEY-SIDE AND MANY OF THEM HAVE NO COMPLAINTS WHATSOEVER AFTER USING THIS PRODUCT!!! BUT DON’T DELAY!!! HERE’S HOW TO ORDER… (Puleeze, somebody, call an exorcist, or Ghostbusters!)
*calls Mythbusters*
Now, that would be must-see TV!
Especially the bit where they decide that just for the fun of it, they’re going to blow Billy Mays’ ghost up. “We couldn’t actually find evidence of his ghost, but we’ve got all this explosive lying around, and a demolition tech who will cry if he doesn’t get to do something destructive, so we’re going to dig up Billy’s corpse, and blow that up instead.”
I think most people know what moussaka is, so the translation was probably unnecessary. But I find it kind of odd that they made no attempt to translate “sujukakie smyrneika.” What the fark is that???
sujukakie smyrneika is “Spicy meatballs with tomato sause from Smyrni”
Imagine what fun we’d be having if they’d actually tried to translate that!
They used too much baby oil on my vegetarian and it keeps sliding off of my plate. I need more crackers or bread sticks for traction.
Baby oil is, actually, generally indigestible, since it is made from long-chain oils that our digestive systems cannot process. However, if it were actually oil made from babies, it would digest just fine.
Mr. Smartypants are we?
I am. I’m not so sure about you…
After all, I wear Smart Man Pants!
I said it as a compliment you jerk, not so you could try to insult me. If you’ve got a kid and all, why are you wasting your time on this message board?
No insult intended. I was just making a joke. I’m wasting my time here because laughter is good strong medicine, and I am in need of good strong medicine.
Sure you are. But I agree. Laughter has gotten me through some tough times. Like school. Which we all know is one of the most hellish places outside of hell.
But are they magical man pants?
It say “Oily food of the day” (daily special) and next to it “Vegetarian in oil”
LOL
Someone was drunk…
Been into the cake in a bottle again, you think?
Oily food of the day? It sounds like our cafeteria here, where even the salads come deep fried.
i read right past the vegetarian bit at first and read ‘squib in wine’ this led me to thinking it is a bit cruel to eat a non magical person of magical lineage just because they are a squib. yes i am that tired and that much of a dork plus i went to see the new HP movie today *face palms*
I did the same thing you did! I didn’t notice the Vegetarian in Oil until after I started reading the comments.
That was the first thing I noticed too!
I dorked out as well.. *also facepalm*
I totally did the Squib bit first as well. However, I thought of the explosive.
haha I’m glad to see I’m not the only nerdastic one out there.
no, but i too saw the squib first, but then i read fanfiction for harry potter, so, yeah.
I noticed that first too!
Same here. I didn’t even SEE the vegetarian thing…was just like…grilled squib? I must be missing something. Squibs get so much hate…
How did they get that lamb in the ceramic pot? Or maybe the right question is how did they get a lamb-sized ceramic pot in the oven?
It is probably what we would call a ‘pot roast,’ but with lamb–as opposed to the beef pot roast below.
Eww i would never eat vegetarian. All the vegetarians i know are too bony and wouldn’t make for a good meal.
It is the cheapest thing on the menu. Maybe a succulent vegetarian is difficult to obtain.
I’m very discerning, and will only eat organic vegetarians. That’s right, I’ll only eat vegetarians that contain carbon. Those silicon-based ones, well, you just don’t know what they’ve been fertilised with, do you?
Good to see you back Dr Toilet Shark – from a distance, I mean.
Your leg was very tasty – any chance of a bit of a frenzy on your other one?
Distance, distance. But I have a nice dish of ice cream right here. I’ll just set it down on the seat of the commode and back away.
ICE-CREAM OMGWTFBBQ! *disappears around U-bend chasing flushed ice-cream*
If so, can I watch? I love a good frenzy!
These days, a man needs all the frenzy can get. *:P from inside sharkproof cage*
Go soak in cow blood, you throwbacks.
I prefer to eat carnivores like you. Sleep well.
*chooses to sit next to EffYouAll*
Now, what kind of loser are we eating today? Is it a “If we’re not supposed to eat animals, why are they made of meat?” loser, a “PETA=People Eating Tasty Animals” loser, or perhaps a “Vegetables are what food eats” loser? I like the last one, you have to go to a really good loser deli to find that kind of rare ingenuity.
I like my vegetarian wrapped in MEAT!
Hmm, I’d rather the Squib, tbh.
Who WOULDN’T eat a non-magical person born to witch and wizard parents? Yum yum!
[/hpdork]
Anyway… “Sujukakia Smyrneika” made me lol the most, really.
sujukakia smyrneika means meatballs from Smyrni
I’ve been seeing “vegetarian-fed eggs” at the supermarket.
How does one feed a vegetarian to an egg?
The chicken industry feeds their chickens food industry chicken feed. Everything left over from food processing, grain alcohol fermentation, or meat packing is dried, ground, and added to grain. Vegetarian-fed chickens would only have grain and ground seafood shells in their diet. There is a local farmer that has a big acreage and portable hen houses. They forage on grass, weeds, bugs, and seeds in a field. He moves them when the forage thins out. He has no weed control, chicken waste management or medication costs.
I asked about the egg. Or are you saying the chicken came first…?
If the rooster was good, the chicken came first.
Perhaps the rooster has a Slow Hand – or beak.
You mean his pecker?
If that’s slow, then the chicken probably did come first.
Of course, according to the menu he’s been in the wine sauce, so it’s possible that neither came first. When the rooster gets in the wine sauce, the chicken often gets a headache.
Seriously, the egg came first, since the first chicken would have been a mutation from some other sort of bird, and the first birds were mutations (probably of dinosaurs).
I don’t know, but I will no longer leave the vegetarians and the eggs unattended. What if the eggs get rowdy and greedy?
I eat vegetarians all the time. Cows are vegetarians.
Not strictly, I found out. I used to camp by a lake at a spot near a cow pasture. The cows would sometimes come down to get a drink in the lake. One morning, having barbecued some hamburgers the night before, I was awakened by the sound of a raspy cow tongue licking the grease off my little grill. The cow seemed quite pleased with the taste of what was left of its relative.
Cows eat beef for the same reason people do. Because they’re not smart enough to know how it’s made and what the consequences of eating it/making it are.
I know quite clearly how hamburger is made and I am well informed on dietary issues. I still eat beef. If I were going to hypothesize that cows eat beef for the same reason people do, I’d say it’s because it’s delicious.
Actually, the English is a fairly accurate translation of the Greek, as far as I can see.
The first thing I noticed was the ‘squib in wine’ thing, I was like I don’t wanna eat Filch, he’d taste like cats. D=
lol!!!!
lol the first thing i though was “is this what Pure Bloods eat” the second was of a disturbing fanfic i read about house elves being so excited about cooking that they get off on it. No idea why that came to my thoughts.
These days, a man needs all the frenzy can get. *
from inside sharkproof cage*
Damn! Missed a space!
And now I failed the link! My brain is a squib in wine!
I drift
Through soft cascades of numbness
Bemuddledly wondering what it was I was
Doing
Before life
So rudely interrupted me.
Morpheus awaits
to review today’s events
and form tomorrow’s
Droll’s brain was floating in wine,
And everything seemed to be fine,
‘Til the shark cage door dropped
And the toilet shark stopped,
And said “Dahlings, this squib tastes divine!”
Exploding wine for exploding cake!!! Does it go well with squab?
Or squib?
ah, so they serve squibs, like in harry potter? COOL.
We don’t serve THAT type in here. Move along!
What concerns me most is that all the etas look like Roman “n”s. Help me out, modern Hellenists, is that a valid stylistic choice, or is something wrong here?
I think it’s a font thing (the stubby etas), I’ve seen it before.
Having said that, I can’t find an example…but I know that’s not the first time I’ve encountered it.
Σουτζουκάκια would be better transliterated soutzoukakia, and I’d call them Smyna-style meatballs in tomato sauce, or something along those lines. For those who are curious, it’s quite tasty: http://organicallycooked.blogspot.com/2008/01/soutzoukakia.html.
“Vegetarian in oil” … hmm sounds like the “St. Valetine’s Day Moussaka” to me!!
Isn’t a Squib someone born into a wizard family that doesn’t have magical powers? *filch in a pot*
Yes, yes, i am a Harry Potter Nerd
I’m a vegetarian. Does anyone want to devour me me in oil?
And yes, that’s a squib.
I’m feeling evil and random 2day MWAHAHAHA
I’m not certain either way, since I’ve never met you, but I’d not rule it out if we were both that way inclined.
HI ALICE
Hi my friend. You have an obsession with ‘patty’ whoever that is
Welcome to my weird and wonderful world. Now you know what images I obsess over everyday
May I also recommend the failblog, which is my other fave on here.
That other alice isn’t me. I’m me! Accept NO imitations.
And I’m tryin 2 get in with the crowd here. Don’t spoil my reputation, or ruin my chances of getting one, atleast =P
I shall change me name soon…
My brand-spanking new name.
Anywho how could I FORGET the lolcats? Ther lyk my 3rd fave thing on this site! Damn >.<
I’m Alice, yes I’m the real Alice
All you other Alices are just imitating
So won’t the real Alice please stand up,
please stand up, please stand up?
Chorus:
Alice? Who the fµck’s Alice?
Go ask Alice
when she’s 10 feet tall.
At her restaurant, perhaps.
Meh.
I know that Patty person in real life – I introduced her to this site but I don’t think she shares the same humour as I do.
She got me confused with the other person called Alice. Yes, I’m Alice also. Great name
I was just bein’ random…
I bet you just had some kind of mushroom, and your mind is moving low.
Anybody else see Moussaka and immediately think of that one bit in The Lion King where the hyenas are all going Mufasa Mufasa Mufasa?
Anybody?
No?
*sigh*
I feel your pain. Sometimes we’re all alone in our humor. But I still laugh anyway, don’t you?
I’m always making inside jokes that only I get. I usually make them silently, but occasionally they get out, eliciting blank looks from everyone.
Kind of like what happens here sometimes.
It’s cool; I can be pretty meta sometimes, but you can be even more so.
I love how they’re also cooking non-magical people from magical families.
hahahaha so typical..
I’m Greek and yeah we got a lot of those translation jewels here..
I think the guy that did the menu prints was too lazy or ignorant to do a proper job..
all vegetarians whatch out! you could become dinner!
