... he ate the same thing 3 times a day for 30 days. Common sense dictates your going to get sick. McDonalds doesn't go aroudn telling people to it it for every meal every single day. If you can't get it into your head that food that you go out and buy isn't meant to be eaten 3 times a day, then you deserve to get sick :) No one goes to a restaurant 3 times a day 30 days a month...

I was wondering when Kerrie would chime in. She must be at that point where the weird cravings are kicking in leading her to eat all sorts of strange things. :-p

A guy married into Tsu's side of the family won $5000 by eating a slug sandwich. It was for a radio contest in Portland. First he put the slugs into a blender and then spread them on the bread. He even practiced once to see if he could do it...

hahaha... so he didn't just eat a slug sandwhich once, but twice! wow... that's a real winner there.

I used to feed dog treats to my siblings all the time. I'd tell them they were cookies and i'd say "close your eyes and open your mouth" sadly, that actually worked... more than once.

I used a slightly more tantalizing version when we were kids:

open your mouth,
and close your eyes,
and I will give you,
a big surprise!

Nobody's fault but your own. A little Super Glue and a cork could have prevented that. :approve:

That's the version I tried too, but I guess I have to give my sister credit for being smarter than I thought...she never fell for it after the first time.

I have an aunt who likes dog biscuits. She just decided to try one one day when she was training her dog, and decided they made a good snack. But she's also the crazy aunt who wears shorts and sandals in the middle of winter.

I love escargot too, but only get it every few years. Can't afford it. In my area those of my social class refer to it as "slugs in a camper".

There are land snails too. Escargot snails are raised on land on snail ranches. Once before when the subject of snails came up, I found a USDA site that described everything you ever wanted to know about snail farming. Ride 'em snailboy! :smile:

I remember the days of the great snail drives, from the Black Hills of Dakota to the Sacramento Valley. It was really slow going in those days.
