Ellen not only ate oysters, she also wrote at one point about them being out camping and I believe it was Willie who shot a duck and how pleased she was that it would be such a nice change for dinner.... what was Willie doing carrying a gun and out duck hunting anyway ?? Also I have read at one of the camp meetings where she was in her tent and was upset that she couldnt get chicken . | ||

Wonder what they do with this 105-year-old who eats junk food and loves Tony Stewart? Imagine how old she'd be if she had "the health message"! http://www2.wnct.com/news/2010/aug/04/1/nc-105-year-old-tony-stewart-fan-49570-vi-14179/ | ||

Joyfulheart, I never thought of the money that comes from the fake canned meat, but I'm sure that's a big part of it. It just never makes sense to me because my SDA relatives who are a vegetarian never talk about being animal advocates. I honestly think one relative in particular them does it to please Ellen White. (Sounds crazy, but he's all about following her). Yet, at the same time he's morbidly obese, high BP, diabetes, etc. Don't eat meat, but eat all the sugar and fried foods you can to make up for it. He'd be so much healthier if he'd just even out his diet and add some chicken. Haha Lucy ~ such a valid point. I remember my hubby telling me how difficult it is to say "sorry" because it makes a person look less than perfect. Lots of *fake* going on. And yet they claim to be THE Truth! Pretty amazing.

River, I meant hot dogs. I'm just a lousy typist...and I guess I've been spelling veggie wrong, too. Oh, well... Thanks for putting up with me. | ||

Leigh Anne, I don't know if you saw another post where I explained J9. My middle name is Jeanine & my dad affectionately called me Jay-nine, so I use the short cut J9. :-) He died a little over 2 years ago at almost 96 & I miss him! Yep, 63 yo & still a 'daddy's girl'. I am known by my first name but like the J9 for internet stuff. J9 | ||

Joyheart, What does a hot dog look like thats made out of turnip greens. I think you got it right the first time it sounds like a Ho Dog to me. I think Veggie is a slang word, so it don't make much difference how you spell it, it may make a difference how you smell it though. I'm just sitting here cracking up! Yall are funniern a one legged dog in a room fulla cats. River | ||

We can always count on the food threads to lighten things up around here, eh, River? Jeremy | ||

River, I can still remember my uncle (this is the one who died a few years back after being set free from Adventism) asking the girls that worked in a small rural sandwich shop if they could make their reuben sandwich using "meat analogues." LOL!!  You should have seen the looks on their faces. They had never heard of such a thing. So he explained to them in detail how these fake meats were made, by taking soybeans and spinning them around on machines, etc. And if they spin them too long they would turn into plastic. Basically, River, the fake hot dogs look like softly spun pink plastic shreds. LOL. Care for a "Linkett"? http://www.vegetarianstore.com/images/products/linketts.jpg  Unfortunately, I wasn't able to find you a picture of what they look like on the inside! LOL. Jeremy | ||

I'll only eat that crap if it's dipped in corn meal and deep fried. Leigh Anne | ||

Here's a little "funny" for ya: About 30 years ago, I was shopping at the Loma Linda Market. Just from habit, I was looking at the ingredients on the various cans of food I was thinking to buy, when I noticed something had a little bit of beef fat in it! Amused, I pointed it out to the store manager. You would have thought I showed him canned cobra meat or something! In less time than it takes to type this, the shelves were totally empty of that product, and several clerks were checking every product made by that manufacturer. | ||

Thats too bad Jeremy, I mighta gotten a scientific break through by getting a look the insides of one of those things. But from the description you gave of the outside, yep! Its a Ho Dog sure as shootin'. I never heard the word 'Meat Analogues' till I came here either, I would like to have been around to hear the conversation after he left though. LOl! The picture says one half less fat than beef hot dogs, if its made outa soy beans, its one half less anything than beef hot dogs. Ha. I used to work in them things back on the farm, I plowed'em, shoveledem, but I never thought you could make a Ho Dog out offem'! What will I do with such an education as you guys are giving me, take it out and play with it? Say, I just got an idea...if I could find one of these here Adventist stores, I could go buy some of the stuff just to see what it taste like. Do yall reckon there might be one in Vancouver? I figure if I won't risk tasting the stuff, I don't deserve to be on the food threads. I'm envisioning making a machine that spins soy beans around and spits out a Ho Dog... Ho boy! I could make a fortune if it don't spit out a plastic spoon or something big, like a plastic Cocker Spaniel, or even worse, a plastic Adventist! Of course I could take him to a Adventist church, and prop him up, they would never know the difference for a couple months, till they smelt chicken that somebody snuck in to eat in their potluck meal. I feel sorry for a Adventist that brings a real fried chicken to pot luck so he can have something decent to eat, he ain't going to get anything but Ho Dogs, after they make a run on his chicken. Old Mrs. Plump bottom would rake the table like a cheatin' gambler on a river boat! There was an old man who died sitting up in church, and they never knew he was dead till a year later, till old doc overbore nudged him to get outa his seat, and he fell over and broke apart. They had been nudging him from side to side all year, and he stayed balanced upright because he had ate a pack of Ho Dogs just before he died, and they acted as ballast. Fact is...it was the Ho Dogs what killed him, the Ho Dogs had made him prematurely age at 33. They finally decided just to sweep him up off the floor, and scoop him up in a dust pan, the window figured she could make reconstituted Ho Dogs for the next pot luck. The preacher preached on the merits of Ho Dogs the next Sabbath, which is Saturday to you Leigh Anne, they don't have Adventist church in Disney Land, They don't pop M&M neither! Anyhow, back to my subject, old Mrs. Platterbottom went out and purchase all they had down at the NOT NEAR MEAT meat market, and ended up pickling her whole family. She was pickled before the rest even got to the table. They missed her after a couple sabbaths...mainly because she didn't know the difference between lettuce and weed she found on the back of a dope dealers property. They loved her cookies. Anyhow, they had to bring in a back hoe, and bury the whole bunch of them sitting at table, table and all. It was the darnest thing you ever seen in yore life. The preacher could hardly get out a word at the funeral, he missed her cookies so bad, they all wept fer a month straight. You can never tell what a Ho Dog day will bring. River | ||

Thats how pot lucks got started by the way, just in case you didn't know, that's why they call it a pot luck, in memory of old Mrs Platterbottom. | ||
| Jeremy Registered user Username: Jeremy Post Number: 3320 Registered: 10-2004 |
River, I can't stop laughing!  I'm sure you could find a can of the stuff somewhere where you live. Some grocery stores even carry them now! Jeremy | ||
| Hec Registered user Username: Hec Post Number: 1243 Registered: 3-2009 |
Leigh Anne, You're a lot bolder than me. I wouldn't eat crap dipped in corn meal, deep fried, or whichever way you want to prepare it. But I love Big Franks. Hec | ||
| Grace_alone Registered user Username: Grace_alone Post Number: 1756 Registered: 6-2006 |
LOL Hec!! I guess I'll eat just about anything that is deep fried in corn meal. LA | ||
