showing question #42

question from demeter, goddess of agriculture and yellow catsuits

i’m having a potluck dinner tomorrow night, would you fancy coming?

I’ll turn up, sure. If, however, all you’re serving is rancid hippo liver and beetroot juice, I won’t be happy and might just make up a flimsy excuse and leave. Some people might find rotting offal quaint and rustic, some even edible. But not me, I find it deeply offending to be served poisonous meat on the basis that you could end up with any old thing. Hospitals making cutbacks might just be able to get away with that sort of thing, but this is Surrey!
