Mystery Food ??? - Page 2

Hmmm? Nothing. Nevermind. See, that's why I never post things like that...

Aliantha · 11-12-2006, 10:24 PM

I thought it was a bit fucking rude actually

Pangloss62 · 11-12-2006, 10:30 PM

Hmmm. I like random threads like this. Let me think.

Hmmmm.

OK. I've got these cans of fish fillets hangin out in my cupboard. I did not buy them. Who gave them to me? I like anchovies, but I have no idea exactly from what kind of "fish" these canned fillets were derived; it doesn't say on the label.

I think they allow companies to label things generically like "fish fillets" and don't require them to declare the specific species of "fish" that they put in the can. WTF would I be eating? Pollock? Mullet? Poagies?

I bet, however, If I have a power outage because of an ice storm like I did back in 2000, those "fish" fillets will taste great under candlelight. Ymmmmmm. "Packed In Oil"

What kind of oil!!!!!!!

I don't think food can become mysterious here... I eat whatever I buy without leaving around too long...

Pangloss62 · 11-12-2006, 10:42 PM

I just remembered from where those cans of fish came; my dead former girlfriend, Kelley...now I'm a bit sad....

She knew I liked anchovies, so I think she bought a bunch of canned fish at the dollar-everything store....Nice girl. We gave everybody we knew gifts from the dollar-everything store; I just forgot about those cans she bought for me.

She was going to be a marine biologist.

There is a stained glass window in Kelley's honor at the William & Mary Marine Biology School in VA. She was one of the best.

And don't you guys freak out that I say this...death is part of life.

lol...see, when I read Flints "because, shut your face", I read it like he has no fucken idea why his wife doesnt use pasta and it would of been like..."err, umm, 'coz"

But maybe I am just in a "look for the good" mood, and Flint was really being a big meanie, but he is usually being funny

DucksNuts · 11-12-2006, 10:50 PM

Oh and thanks Ali, I might try that sago stuff...dunno about the polenta.

I did make some and mix cheese n shit through it *al la jamie oliver* and it was sooo bad.

(no no, figuratively *shit* not reaaaal shit)

Aliantha · 11-12-2006, 11:16 PM

lol...well whichever way, people need to be more explicit with a simpleton like me.

When it all comes down to it, if you don't like it, don't eat it.

Pango...I saw your post yesterday but wasn't sure what to say so opted for nothing. I was touched by your post though...sometimes memories can be so bittersweet.

I've got 6 bottles of clam juice in my pantry. They don't expire for another year or so.

That is very poignant and sad. They made a stained glass window for her?

I've had a bag of cheap, horrible-tasting 'gingerbread' cookies in my pantry for a month or so. I know how they got there, I just can't figure out why they're still there. I am now inspired to throw them out as soon as I get home.

I don't think I have an entry for this thread. I know how and why cans of Underwood Devilled Ham are in my cupboard.

That, and roaches, will be the only things that survive a nuclear attack.
