The smell of bacon can break the will of even the most militant veggie.

He won't be getting invited back. Not now that the dog's been doing nutty farts all morning.

No, it's peanut butter and jelly (jam like jelly mind). Or rather it was - peanut butter is banned in most schools these days.Lost Leopard Spot wrote:They also eat jam and peanut butter.

I must confess to quite regularly eating Marmite with peanut butter. Together under one crust.

Re: Today I'm happy about......
Something along those lines. Some tiny fraction of the population are allergic to peanut butter so no child can bring a peanut butter sandwich to school in case one of the allergic takes a bite (thieving littler bugger). Thus a tiny fraction ruin lunch for the masses (assuming the masses like peanut butter and jelly sandwiches). Although more than twice the number of people are allergic to seafood as opposed to nuts in general, no one worries about lobster sandwiches. It is suggested therefore that the banning of peanut butter shows elements of Mass Psychogenic Illness, that is hysterical reactions grossly out of proportion to the level of danger.Lost Leopard Spot wrote:Is that due to Arachibutyrophobia?Montreal Wanderer wrote: - peanut butter is banned in most schools these days.

Re: Today I'm happy about......
ok, I succumbed. Munching a delicious bacon sandwich as I read this thread. Am I making you hungry yet?! 

Re: Today I'm happy about......
A brief Mrs Athers was a veggie and aside from a decent veggie lasagna she could make I used to take round my own packs of chicken or whatever and add them to whatever she was doing. 
Took her to Greens in Didsbury once where they simply charge £3 more per course for the gimmick.
How do these people live.

In Jewishland they offer pressed, cured, smoked turkey breast in thin slices as a bacon substitute. The more savvy there use this as an excuse to eat the real thing surreptitiously.
Not advocating mass-murder as an entirely positive experience, of course, but it had its moments.

Re: Today I'm happy about......
Here we have something called Turkey Bacon which look like a streaky rasher of bacon (supposed to taste like one though doesn't quite). Is this what you mean?bobo the clown wrote:In Jewishland they offer pressed, cured, smoked turkey breast in thin slices as a bacon substitute.
