If you buy scallops, often they're not scallops at all but
some other fish like cod, skate etc.
So since it's ok to sell "mock" meats as long as you don't
keep it too much of a secret, putting it somewhere in
the fine print, why not extend the concept to exotic
meat burgers?
Zebra burgers,
gorilla burgers, lion burgers, all made
from the lowly cow that nobody gives a shit about but
seasoned to taste "Just Like"(tm) your favorite exotic
animals.
Eat like a big game hunter on safari guilt free knowing
you've only been party to the killing a crappy, stupid
cow.
As far as getting the taste right, I'm pretty sure it's the
rare customer who would say "Hey, this doesn't taste
anything like tiger."
Purple Gorilla Burger

Just like Girl Guide Cookies don't taste anything like
Girl Guides. Yeah, yeah, yeah... |
|
|
Whachyoutakinbout? Scallops at $12/lb are glued together fish? |
|
|
They don't do horrible things like that, do they? I mean,
discounting meat glue and beef tenderloins. |
|
|
I thought dodgy scallops were made from stingrays and other skates where they use an apple-corer like punch to knock out the "scallops". They don't taste anything like the real thing. |
|
|
Some "crab meat" is bleached and boiled beef tripe. |
|
|
Not quite redundant, [21Q] - the linked idea suggests burgers that are genuinely made of white rhino, but this idea suggests fake burgers made of ordinary cow. |
|
|
Jellydonut's idea is for "rhino flavored" mock
meat. Mine is for "gorilla flavored" mock meat. |
|
|
If you can't see the clear difference I will have no
alternative but to say: "Now I bid you good day
sir!" in a stern voice. |
|
|
And if you persist I will say: "I said GOOD DAY SIR!"
without even tipping my hat. |
|
|
Although I hate to get brutishly ugly, sometimes
one has no recourse. |
|
|
Wow, did you really say that?! I'm almost sorry I was here to see it! |
|
|
Precisely the plot twist at the end of 'The Freshman.' |
|
|
//Not so. From the linked idea...// |
|
|
One of these days I really must get around to learning to read. |
|
|
In defense of the present idea, this proposes a menu of mock meats. The cited prior art is for a mock meat scheme designed to save the rhino or something. One could say that idea is not orginal because people already sell mock meats as I stated in the first sentence. |
|
|
Unfortunately, [21Q] never does. |
|
|
//the lowly cow that nobody gives a shit about// grrrrrrr..... Plenty of people care about the welfare of cows. |
|
|
A happy cow is a tasty cow. |
|
|
//A happy cow is a tasty cow.// |
|
|
but not often at the same time. |
|
|
The people who care about cows need to get after those folks who mock meats. |
|
|
//The defense is invited to read 'em and weep.// |
|
|
The prosecution is invited to note that he's never actually successfully gotten anything deleted from this site despite trying on an almost daily basis. |
|
|
"Bailiff, whack his peepee!" |
|
|
//the lowly cow that nobody gives a shit about// |
|
|
Just pointing out the irony. |
|
|
For instance, we humans don't eat animals that we consider beautiful, cuddly, cute etc. But if you're ugly and tasty, best keep away from those hungry, hungry humans. (At least the western ones) |
|
|
// he's never actually successfully gotten anything deleted from this site // |
|
|
Well I'm not sure that's a fair charge. It's indefensible. He can't very well point to all the times when he was successful. |
|
|
Your larger point is taken but I agree that both ideas are essentially about meat made to taste exotic. The rest of the details are dressing. |
|
|
I second the m-f-d in this case. The help file clearly spells it out. |
|
|
Ok, it's made out of tofu. |
|
|
// The rest of the details are dressing // |
|
|
Italian, french, Blue cheese ... ? |
|
|
//we humans don't eat animals that we consider
beautiful, cuddly, cute etc// Like rabbit, for
example. |
|
|
Well, the last time you had rabbit was...? |
|
|
This is a generality of course. People eat scorpions, snakes, Jack in the Box hamburgers, even other people. |
|
|
But for the most part, being cute keeps you off the menu. Let me put it this way, a fast food restaurant selling rabbit and featuring a cartoon characature like "Yummy Bunny" wouldn't do too well. |
|
|
//the last time you had rabbit was// Over a decade
ago. It was the best meal I've ever eaten. |
|
|
Well, see? What's the last time you ate an ugly
cow, pig or chicken? |
|
|
Now I don't have anything against eating things
that are tasty and cute. Just pointing out that we
tend
towards eating the animal world's chess club
members and stay away from the prom queens. |
|
|
It should also be pointed out that in processing a
rabbit for cooking, the "cute" is among the first
things
removed. Somewhere between cutting it's head
off and gutting it. |
|
|
By the way, in doing my extensive research for
this post, I've learned that squirrel is known in
some circles as "Chicken of the trees". |
|
|
I'd post the link but after seeing it myself I've
decided never to eat anything ever again. |
|
|
I've never eaten cow. I think I may have eaten pig,
years ago. Chicken, yes. |
|
|
// If you've ever eaten a hamburger, you've eaten cow. // |
|
|
//If you've ever eaten a hamburger, you've eaten
cow.// |
|
|
Not the whole cow. I'm of the "steak-and-release"
school of thought. Like catch-and-release fishing.
Save some for later. |
