You Know, Like A Vegetarian Steakhouse.

The restaurant is called King of Siam or something like that...and it looks like a Thai restaurant...but it serves Polish food." --Amy, on her dream restaurant

I'd Rather Tie Dental Floss Around My Scrotum And Hang From A Helicopter Over A Pit Of Vipers...

...than eat faux foie gras.

i remember a few years ago when those peta assholes started trying to make foie gras illegal. i love animals, i do, but shut the fuck up you peta asswipes. eat a slab of pan seared foie gras at les halles in manhattan, and then tell me that it should be illegal.

now, the inquiring minds at peta want to know if there’s a culinary wizard out there who can cook up a suitable, all-vegetarian substitute for foie gras. vegetarian foie gras? that's like vegan bacon. the hipster toolbox that wins the "fine faux gras challenge" will go home with $10,000, and a healthy dose of self satisfaction.

the tradition of jamming bucket-loads of corn into the belly of a duck or goose via a large funnel—for the purposes of fattening up their delicious livers—is one that dates back hundreds of years. the tradition of hating on this practice is newer, but gaining traction. there’s a general feeling that it’s inhumane, and this totally disturbing video certainly supports that claim. but is this hamburger topped with the fatty offal no less compelling? what about this well-trafficked flickr group?

several states have banned the sale of foie gras, and some farms are starting to offer more humane alternatives (which was discussed here). regardless of your position, it’s hard to argue that this is not a better use of peta’s seeminly vast resources than this sea kittens business.

I will not deprive my body of the glories of flesh. [All Meat is Delicious]

The wonderfully creative folks at PETA have come up with a new way to try to make you rethink your meat-eating ways: trying to ruin the best meal of the year. In a parody of the obscure Wii game Cooking Mama’s Cookoff (only the hardcore Wii fans will be familiar with this absurdity), you pull the feathers off a turkey, then remove its organs and stuff it with a disgusting gray goo. The problem, of course, is that the audience PETA is ostensibly trying to reach (the dastardly meat eaters) have probably seen a turkey before, and it is not the scabbed, rotting bird filled with malodorous goop. Instead, the meat eaters know that it is a delicious, golden bird filled with scrumptious stuffing. So while the facts that PETA displays between game screens—about turkeys fed with so many hormones so that they can’t stand up because their breasts are too large—are chilling, trying to disgust us with obviously exaggerated meat cartoons just undermines the argument. You’re going to have to do something to convince me to give up the deliciousness, not try to convince me, against all experience, that it is not, in fact, delicious.

Play the game, which is slightly fun for a second, here.
