  1. ... says:

    Everyone posting before me is a doodyhead?

  2. cynnicysm says:

    how d’you suppose they make food with a hoe? maybe they use it like a spatula?

    • Sir Gallivant says:

      Well, I am sure it has nothing to do with the female chef….

    • Pooch says:

      There is (or was, I can’t find it in google anymore) a bakery (vending machine pastry stuff) in Atlanta (Georgia, USA) called Ho-Made Snacks. The amusing part is that it is located on a street mostly known for streetwalkers.

  3. PoodleGroomer says:

    We need to run the chickens through the wine press cogs again.

  4. Sinatra says:

    Caution, food may make you high.

    I’m sure that samoked fish has an intriguing taste.

  5. PoodleGroomer says:

    The sign is correct, it is mason, not maison. We stir the sauce with a hoe and apply it with a trowel.

  6. wtf? says:

    This was one that I almost needed the panda to help me find the funny part.

  7. JohnB says:

    I remember seeing Pil Pil on this site before, but can’t recollect the context. I assume this dish is popular among the substance-abusing population.

  8. JohnB says:

    I would think an “elver” would be someone who hunts down elves. Perhaps this restaurant normally has dishes made from elves, but their elver came home empty-handed and they put him on the menu instead.

  9. Duncan says:

    Wow, who knew that hoes could cook so well! No wonder some of them are so expensive per hour!

    • purdlemeow says:

      You obviously haven’t seen the prices on the other sections of the menu: the “Call Girl Made Food” and “Escort Made Food”! (If you *have* to ask, you can’t afford it…)

  10. The Admiral says:

    Get in the kitchen ho(e)! The pil pil better not be undercooked again or you’ve had it!

  11. Meowth says:

    I doubt I would want to eat anything made with a hoe…

    • Bunnehkins says:

      Or by one?

    • JohnB says:

      I always found a hoe was indispensible in growing good tomatoes, so you could say garden produce is made with a hoe, and it is scrumptious.

      • Meowth says:

        That may be, but I did not say anything about food grown with a hoe. I doubt many chefs would be caught preparing their food with a hoe, now, would they?

        • JohnB says:

          It says, “made with a hoe.” “Made” is a very ambiguous word, and can refer to creation as well as preparation.

          • Meowth says:

            Not the way I say it. I cannot stand when people use the word “make” instead of a better word like “prepare” or “get.” It is not like they are creating the food themselves, they are just arranging and cooking it! I would like to see someone try to manually build a tomato out of stray molecules. THAT would be “making” it.

            • JohnB says:

              In that case, the only one who can claim to have made anything is God, since we mortal beings are only arranging and transforming things that already exist.

              • hollyr57 says:

                Can we, without upsetting Meowth’s case for clearer word choices, refer to things done (whether gardening or cooking or preparing) with a hoe as creating? Art is creation, and it too is building while also arranging and transforming things that already exist. Oh, right, this is Engrish not Philosophies of Word Usage 102. I do go on ;)

                • JohnB says:

                  Ambiguity in language is unavoidable, even if one is speaking quite properly. Which is fortunate for those of us who enjoy humor, and unfortunate for those of use who appreciate precision. As someone quite fond of both, I am profoundly ambivalent.

                  • Meowth says:

                    Looking at my previous comment, I, too, have referred to “preparing” as “making.” I’m not sure what I was so against anymore, but it was something. I propose we ignore it and, as you have said, remain ambivalent about it all.

        • dr handle says:

          You haven’t worked in the mess, then…

  12. PoodleGroomer says:

    The elves fought courageously and won. It’s not a total loss, they are serving the elvers.

    • dr handle says:

      As the Spanish waiter explained to the tourist as he served up the house specialty “‘esticles of the Vanquished’, when the tourist suggested that the ingredients implied that the bull had been quite a small animal: “Senor, the bull, he does not always lose…”

  13. toilet shark says:

    Shark in rotena????? DO NOT WANT!

    • hollyr57 says:

      But we thought that toilet sharks were like other sharks, you know, um, a teensy weensy bit *whispers* cannabalistic…

      • toilet shark says:

        Well, as long as I’m not the shark being put into the rotena, I might be able to come at that. If I knew what a rotena was. If it’s a nice tomato-based sauce with no chilli in it, well and good. If it’s an ice-cream based dessert, even better!

        • blueJade says:

          Not to worry, it’s made from pool sharks, and land sharks, when pool sharks are out of season. And it comes with your choice of dessert!

          • JohnB says:

            I would think that rotena would be the singular of rotini, but how you could get a shark into a single spiral of pasta is beyond me.

  14. Kevin says:

    HOW HAS NOONE NOTICED IT SAYS “HOE MADE FOOD”

  15. Crumpet says:

    I thought “putanesca” was an Italian word – why did it originate in the philippines?

    • JohnB says:

      The Phillippines were part of the Spanish Empire for centuries, and so words from Spanish, a Latinate language like Italian, remain common.

    • paws4thot says:

      It is, and I though that “pasta a la putinesca” was from Napoli – pasta in a hot and spicy tomato and salami sauce.

  16. JohnB says:

    I’m sorry, the chickek sausages only come COGED in chiclana wine. And even if you could watch the sausages coge, it would still be grammatically incorrect to say that “sausages coges.”

  17. Dylan975 says:

    The first thing i saw was Hoe Made food… it took me another minute and a half to find ration

  18. rural88jean says:

    And I hope your HOE can cook…

  19. Paul says:

  20. PortPower says:

  21. Fox says:

    ah, nothing quite like hoe made food.

  22. cody says:

  23. Erica says:
