Scary

Or just scrapes the meals off the road…

Great green gobs of

Greasy, grimy gopher guts

Mutilated monkey meat

Reconstituted turkey feet

…And I forgot my spoon!

Once or twice, my wife tried something out of a cookbook that wasn’t quite “food”. That’s when I demonstrated to the kids that “I can eat anything”. We all laughed, and that particular recipe was never tried again!

She orders in from the school cafeteria.

Does Andy even bother tasting what’s she cooks?!

That was the primary reason I watch Fear Factor.

I especially remembered one episode where it was some type of big cockroach they had to eat. Not long after that our son took us to a place in Boulder Colorado (the Butterly Pavilion?) where they had the same cockroach.

There was also Total Blackout with Jaleel White

I’m gonna go with the vice versa

Paige should have cooked! It would have been better than that slop!!!

Coincidentally, they’re the same colors coming up!

Brussels sprouts, cauliflower and hummus?

Mutiny, mutiny, mutiny! Why don’t they try cooking?

Andy is either clueless or a sadist.

I’d rather eat hospital food.

Reminds me of a Calvin and Hobbes strip, where Mom is seen adding octopus, poison, shrunken heads, compost, etc., etc., into a large cooking pot on the stove, stirring it to taste. The next panel you see Calvin protesting something along the lines of, “I saw what you were cooking! I’m not gonna eat this!” LOL.

Fear Factor, huh? You know, I’m starting to suspect that some of these strips may be reruns. . . .

And you thought the ‘mystery meat’ of school lunches was scary…

Either way is plausible

Brussels sprouts, mashed potatoes and Salisbury steak. Just the way my sister-in-law makes them. (One of the sweetest people I’ve ever met. Great wife to my brother, wonderful mother to her children, but not the best cook. I’m honest with her about the first two, but never the third one.)

Vegans, or want to be, are scary! Tofu is to tough to eat. And the impossible burger is to stomach, even if you have 7 stomachs.
