There is something particularly joyous about reality, don't you think?

Laughter is the great leveller, the great equalizer, the great healer. Plus it is just plain fun.  :biggrin:

I could not agree more, I was just thinking of the "food porn" debate currently going on.

Edit: The best medicine also. Well I guess that falls under the healer part. :smile:

littercake.jpg

Someone brought this into work today. If you can't read the label on the paper plate it says "kitty litter cake. help yourself"

Is anyone else disturbed by scatological food passed off as something normal rather than satire?

My momma told me not to eat poop.

I always attempt to have the ratio of my intelligence to weight ratio be greater than one. But, I am from the midwest. I am sure you can now understand my life's conundrum.

LOL!!! :biggrin: I've actually posted a link to a kitty-litter recipe in another forum.

I have three cats with three litter boxes and the picture makes think that I'm smelling urine. So gross.

I think that Kitty Litter Cake is the raison d'être for this topic. Gross, just plain wrong... but entertaining. It wounds me to know something like this exists, but it's amusing as all hell.

Eh. That's what being in the land of higher education brings, huh jsolomon? :biggrin:

Did you have a test planned for the students today and this was your reward for such behavior?! :cool:

For myself, I like honest mistakes. I make honest mistakes myself on a daily and sometimes hourly basis. If we could not laugh at our honest mistakes, we might have to cry or alternately to go hide somewhere and do nothing. And that's just not an option. :wink:

My kids *might* like that cake. But as for me, no. No no no. No.

Did I say no?

I prefer that dessert that looks like dirt and worms made from cookie crumbs and gummy worms.

Forget the turds.

:shock::blink: EWWWW!!!! Ewww and Ewww! That is just wrong on so many levels.

My guess is that all of it was eaten and everyone loved it. Which, again, is just WRONG!

Why would you want to try to make food look gross? It's bad enough that it happens by accident (as this thread can testify). I suppose it's meant to be funny.. :sad:

It reminds me of a stall at the Albert Cuyp market here in Amsterdam where you can buy chocolate boobs, asses and male genitalia. Really.

Always a big hit with the tourists.

That reminds me of when a former girlfriend made "the fudge factor" to give to one of her chemistry professors in undergrad. She made a pan of fudge to give the professor. They are humorous in a rather tragic, overworked method.

But, this, it would be that humor if we worked in a kitty litter factory, or the Animal Science department. Sadly, we don't. The good news is the research group is evenly split over it being funny and it being disgusting. A much higher number of disgustoids than I would have bet on.

This is the box that my students would make a cake for me from:

I am trying very hard not to respond in *certain* ways to your last post, Chufi.

oh, please do!

I'm thinking I should post a picture of that chocolate stuff. It would certainly give new meaning to the much debated words Food Porn.

:biggrin: Well. . . if it is chocolate. . . . :biggrin: hmmmm.

*That* sort of "food porn" that is that directly outright in its intentions can't be faulted as much as the stuff that sort of slithers around making pretense to high glamour, in my opinion.

Especially if it *is* chocolate. That makes penance for any number of variety of sins. :laugh:

But I am not sure (as you say) how I would feel having my city represented to tourists in this particular way. :huh:

But then again, to eat those chocolate "sculptures" might actually be less "regrettable" than to eat at some of the actual restaurants in my own town here that actually consider themselves to be serving quite fine food. :wink:

Sigh.

Where is that little guy on that plate with his friend in the bookbag when you need them? I am hungry.
