kat phood and purple kitten

greenspun.com : LUSENET : Country Families : One Thread

I live alone and like to play with words, so I buy large amounts of food, seperate it to portion size and freeze it with my own versions of labels and dates. Beef is Bif, pork is pig pieces, fish is wimes (short for swims) and then there is chicken. One of my neighbors brought me a Bambie steak that her husband wanted me to have. She was putting it into the freezer, hence the purple kitten, as she discovered my package in the freezer labeled "she coon".

This must be a guy thing.

I also call food...meat in particular....weird things that my family just LOVES to hear. We have "dead pig"(ham)...."dead bird"(chicken or turkey)..and of course yeggs.

I call them yeggs because I like them soft scrambled...runny eggs.....hence "yeggs".

I know, I know.....us guys are weird!

Naw, its not a guy thing it is just a weird person thing. My daughters and I have names for food too. Yes, it is dead pig, big chunk of dead cow, chicken little, we love Bambie steaks and those big ol' salmon in the freezer make exellent snake steaks.

When the kids were real little their favorite meals were kitticats, puppydogs, babybirds, mag pie and fluffy chicks. Only Mommy knew the recipes. Dinner guests would get used to the language and never suspect that teddy bear stew was exactly that. I took Wild Turkey Surprise off the menu when the kids started telling people at church what was in our picnic basket. We had desserts like skunk pudding(layered chocolate & vanilla) and the kids made DIRT complete with gummi worms.

Nowadays, I serve meals like uninspired cassarole, noodle slop and "Just call it dinner and if you don't eat it, we'll call it breakfast."

Hubby quit asking "What's for dinner?" long time ago.

Melissa, why? Can you not envision LeBoue from Hogans Heros with his French accesent pronounce chicken as: she coon?

I think I misspelled that name, it could be LeBeau. Does anyone not understand why I chose to seperate myself from the mainstream?!!

Yep, Mitch, I think we're all beginning to see why you decided to live 'way out there'...;>) But I guess you can name your food anything you want, just keep those stumpers coming every day.

We have several packages of George in our freezer says George right on the package. That's chicken packaged for the George Foreman grill. We have 4x4 that's chicken leg quarters. I'll stop there.
