When Davos and the Bilderberg Group start madatory serving of fungus for their meals, I might try a smidge to see what they are eating.

Heck, the only reason I eat salads, fruits and vegetables is a glimmer of hope that I am depriving one of these loons a meal. They are all great on BBQ.

One thing to say about that implied premise "The Cedars of Lebanon."

No it would not.

How do they plan to get the majority of people in the world to eat test tube mold?
The productive and successful people aren’t going to eat bacteria corpse mold, and the primitive people are doing quite well -they go out to hunt every day and have no interest in eating slop.

A century ago you could see nothing but farmland and stone walls around here. Now it's nothing but trees, deer, and deer ticks.

There are too many damned trees! I say cut them down.

Yesterday I completed an appetizer experiment.

1.) I trimmed a rack of spare ribs ($1.97/lb at Safeway) into St. Louis style. I gave the skirt and riblets to my daughter for her family.

2.) I ripped it down the middle with a 20 dollar Harbor freight Sawzall fitted with a food grade stainless steel blade.

3.) I cut it into individual ribettes, then and rinsed and dried them.

4.) I seasoned them with kosher salt and let them brine in the fridge for a couple hours.

5.) I smoked them on a pellet grill loaded with Pit Boss Competition pellets at the smoke setting for 2 1/2 hours.

6.) I rolled them in umami powder, black pepper, garlic powder, and Killer Hogs The BBQ Rub.

7.) I sous vided them at 165F for 12 hours.

8.) I iced them in the bags and and tossed them into the fridge. This is the end of the pre-party prep stage.

9.) Two days later, I took them out of the bags and blasted them with a 2000F propane blow torch.

10.) I rolled them in Sweet Baby Ray’s BBQ sauce and gave them another quick blast with the torch.

Do I need to tell you I will never give up eating meat?

I started with a reciprocating saw, and finished with a blow torch. I call them “Handiman Ribs”.

I remember the best fungus I ever ate.

No, strike that...I don’t actually remember it. But my friends said I had a good time.

“I ripped it down the middle with a 20 dollar Harbor freight Sawzall fitted with a food grade stainless steel blade.”

That was your mistake. Use any old blade and the rustier the better. And use a wood blade not a hacksaw blade .... lol lol lol

Who the heck is eating red meat 5 days a week anymore?! We eat more chicken than anything else. We eat beef once, MAYBE twice, a week, and those are steaks I grill at home.

I think these nutrition nutcases think we’re all just out here housing on heritage Wagyu ribeyes every night like some fat cat.

Yet more evidence that if you make your research politically correct you can make it as stupid as you want and still get it funded.

I’ll never stop eating meat because nothing replaces the delicious taste of a barbequed steak, a roasted chicken or a nice pork roast. That being said, my wife is vegetarian and familiar with Qorn products, which she brings back with her from her native England from time to time. I have to say that their “hamburgers” and “chicken” cutlets are top notch - extremely tasty, especially the burgers. I’d eat their burgers any time.

Should mandate it for public employees and politicians for 10 years prior to introduction to the unwashed masses to ensure it is safe and effective.
