Guest guest Posted February 9, 2004 Report Share Posted February 9, 2004 @@@@@@@@@@ > which, ya know. whatever. more pie for me. > just, lame. > > > katja @@@@@@@@@@@@ Wow, totally whatever indeed. When I have guests over I lecture endlessly about every ingredient though: " these sprouts are still growing as they go into your mouth... " , " this soup has 32 ingredients and began life with the 40- hour cooking of a wild deer carcass... " , " eat slowly so you don't miss the strawberry-flavored section of this raw oyster... " , and so on. Also, I usually crack a young coconut in front of guests to serve the fresh coconut water and oftentimes give them their first witness of such fun. I'll paste this from a post I wrote last week to RawDairy: I just wanted to share an anecdote about milk flavor. A while ago (during prime fall pasture) I gave a gallon of milk and a quart of cream to one of my best friends as a gift. It was organic, raw, 100% pasture-fed milk and cream. I was absolutely certain he'd be blown- away and have a real milk epiphany, and I had some of the milk from the same batch so I knew it was as good as it gets. I was very dispirited when the feedback was sort of politely lukewarm, as in " yeah, that sure was different " ; his partner used the term " gamey " and she recounted an experience of visiting a natural farm somewhere and having fresh milk and finding it " gamey " and unpalatable. And these are people who are very keen about " enlightened living " in general, organic foods, sustainability, etc, and are also dairy consumers, but they couldn't appreciate real milk! It's depressing just to think about for me. I mean, it's not like you lend someone one of your favorite CDs and they don't like it; that's just normal individual variation, but REAL FOOD vs unhealthy, debased, unethical, bastardized, degenerate PSEUDO-FOOD! That's a different story. Mike SE Pennsylvania Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm serious. Tell them " Oh, I already got all my nutrients for the day earlier; I figured you wouldn't mind. " Mike SE Pennsylvania Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The thought of what would be laid out on those tables blows my mind. Major brain fritz. Your house may have slept 30, but it's probably never had 29 people (all but Chris) bloated and collapsed on the floor for the next two days Mike SE Pennsylvania Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
