Naa, just have good taste.

Yeah but like, that taste is made out of fatty tissue created by one of the cruelest modern livestock-rearing practices known to mankind.

Mmm, suffering...

I can't eat something like that if I think about how it was made. If you do find a way to cook it without melting the fat, let us all know...

Honestly, I have to agree with Vlad here. I think that kind of thing would be tough to figure out how to cook unless you already had something in mind.

But, that being said, I don't think that twenty-one bucks is extravagent, nor do I think that expanding your culinary horizons is a bad thing. You earn the money you make, don't feel bad about spending it.

Yummy, tastes like cruelty...
That said, I make a lot less than you, and I wouldn't balk at paying $20 for something I wanted to eat... That's less than my typical Friday night cider bill...

Maybe if you invited the rest of Octothorpe over to have it with you you'd feel less bad? Then maybe that's even more of a Ray Smuckles thing to do.

That comic reminds me of a fundraising letter we got from a group that wants to keep people from eating gorillas... Lots of stuff about how they're smart, and caring, and how it would be generally not-nice to eat them. But they're not asking the real question-

Are they yummy?

Maybe more of us should be eating gorillas.

When did I say I felt bad?

When did I say I felt bad?

Wasn't implying that you were... It was actually the cilantro-ape ceviche in the comic that reminded me of it.

That was not directed at you!

Oh man tonight I had snow crab ravioli in a cilantro/butter/olive oil sauce and it was good.

I loaded at your blog while sitting next to someone, who looked at it, read your title, and said "That's funny, because it's not even plaid. It doesn't have the little intricate lines in it".

Plaids come in many different patterns with all sorts of linework!
