Topping Power

Harness "topping power" in the ultimate battle for deliciousness

Toppings make or break what you are eating, whether it be whipped cream and chocolate shavings on a mocha, the pepperoni on your pizza, or the industrial grade ball-bearing lubricant you get on your popcorn. Without that little bit of something special on top, I don’t think people would like fast foods all that much.

So why harness this awesome “topping power” and make meals that only contain what would conventionally be seen as toppings? Alright, this has been done before with the ice cream Sundae, but America knew they were messing with a dangerous combination and decided to stop funding to the toppings-only program. This is a new age we are living in, and our taste buds are jaded. It is time for to give toppings-only another chance.

Most of the idea is in the above two paragraphs but I was just thinking as an added on bonus for avid readers I would add another. There could be toppings only restraunts where you could get 50 course meals of tartar sauce shredded cheese (both orange and white), pepperoni, cherries in tiny little dishes with tiny little spoons.

       Hard to see how this doesn't end up with existing foods. Most hamburgery things without the hambuger are simply salads. Tuna melts without the tuna make Welsh Rarebit. Most ice cream concoctions without the ice cream just revert to being whatever candy you were piling on top in the first place.

       Or you could just eat mustard, ketchup, salt, pepper, whipped cream, glacé cherries and sugar

[sp.: Sundae]

       Give me a spoon and a cup of hot fudge topping. Yum.

       I'd like an omelet, plain, and a chicken salad sandwich on wheat toast, no toast. And a cup of coffee.
A #2, chicken salad sand. Hold the toast, and a cup of coffee. Anything else?
Yeah, now all you have to do is hold the toast, bring me the chicken salad, mayonnaise, butter and lettuce, give me a check for the chicken salad sandwich, and you haven't broken any rules.
You want me to hold the toast, huh?
I want you to hold it between your knees.

       Damn. I thought this would be a way of generating electricity from paddle whacks and unforgiving stares.

       'tep on the brake, 'tupid.   

       Oops, a punchline in search of a joke.

       Mmmm, butter, sour cream, bacon bits and chives, hold the baked potato.   

       *nods towards her dad, who's sitting on the couch with a jar of peanut butter and a spoon* I think it's been done.
