Poll question: Which one is cooler? Narwhals or Meat Pinatas?
And by that I mean either pinatas filled with meat, or made from meat.

1. I'm thinking that many of you just aren't comprehending the grandeur of the meat pinata.
I mean, imagine a party favor upon which you can take out your aggressions, and which then feeds you protein of a bacon-y variety? How can not that not be a truly divinely inspired invention?

Feh. You're all Saracens!

2. Why choose? Couldn't we bust open a meat pinata with a narwhal?
Or, failing that, a narsquirrel?

4. Ooh! Or USE a narwhal as a meat pinata!
I think I'm having a brilliant idea now. Can anyone smell the smoke? :think:

7. I'm not sure how I feel about that one.
But then, I'm not sure if I'd classify SPAM as meat, either.

Of course, we could have SPAM narwhals, I suppose.

8. That reminds me of an old Far Side cartoon.
Two lions and an animal with a rectangular cube for a body, otherwise resembling a plains animal with horns.

"Knowing the lion's preference for red meat, the SPAMalope remained calm but on alert."

Despite being vegetarian, I have to stand up for SPAM. The ingredients list is quite short and composed of fairly high quality meat (if there is such a thing). The REALLY funny part is that "SPAM" is a contraction for "SPiced hAM" and the only "spice" in it is SALT!

9. I remember that cartoon.
I also have a list of alternative products Hormel could make based on the "SPAM" theme...

Spurkey
Spaloney
Sputton
Spenison
Spicken
Speef
Spastrami

I could go on....

10. Okay, I have to share this - which is worse? SPAM or Deviled Ham?
True story.

About 12 years ago, on a lazy day at work (well, we were all bored), someone suggested that SPAM was the most disgusting meat product out there. Someone else objected, citing Deviled Ham.

On the way home, my coworker and I (commuted together) stopped at a convenience store for gas and I went in for a V-8. I turned around, and there, before me on the shelf, was a Hormel can marked "Deviled SPAM".

I don't think they make it anymore, but that solved the debate cleanly.

11. GAH! I think the Geneva Accords banned that stuff!
Although I'd have to say that "potted meat product" is in the top 5 of most disgusting meats out there. And I say that as an avowed carnivore.

12. Correction: It is "Potted Meat Food Product"
PART 319--DEFINITIONS AND STANDARDS OF IDENTITY OR COMPOSITION--Table of Contents

Subpart R--Meat Salads and Meat Spreads

Sec. 319.761 Potted meat food product and deviled meat food product.

"Potted Meat Food Product" and "Deviled Meat Food Product" shall
not contain cereal, vegetable flour, nonfat dry milk, or similar
substances. The amount of water added to potted meat food product and
deviled meat food product shall be limited to that necessary to replace
moisture lost during processing.

15. Great minds. I just like the phrase "violent projectile diarrhea".
has a ring to it, I think. Saw it once in an article a few years back about contaminated strawberries from Texas.
