My dad knew someone who got up in the middle of the night agnes was hungry, so he went downstairs and poured himself a bowl of fruit loops. Added a couple extra scoops of sugar. Poured milk, but overflowed the bowl. Then he sat down to eat our, but only got a few bites in before he fell asleep, eating his face in the uber-sugary milk on the table.
He woke up with his face glued to the table. His mom heard him screaming, came in to see what had happened, and had to stop laughing long enough to get him unstuck.
In hindsight they obviously could have just put in all meat for each individual sarnothi entry. It’s kinda realistic cuz in real life somepeople seem to hate common sense.
I too loved butter snd sugar sandwiches, … That is,… Until I was given a peanut butter and honey sandwich. I was forced to forego my apostasy and join with the sublime cult of the cognoscenti.
Since then i have joined the priesthood; where we serve each other peanut butter and honey — On Raisin-Cinnamon Swirl Toast.
When i wish to revel in the sins of the flesh, and give my entire being over to the slatternly debauched sinful sensuality, I pour a cuppa Joe, and get out two slices of Cinnamon-Swirl Raisin, toast them up and open the -Buckwheat Honey, and the (P.P.- not Giff) Creamy, and smear it on.
Note for tyros: honey first, then peanut butter.
In my case they were just white bread with some butter and then a spoonful or so of granulated sugar spread on them. They were a quick way to get a bit of spare energy on a low income budget. (We were pretty poor at the time.) Nowadays I have yogurt, canned fruit, or a peanut butter and jelly sandwich if I need to snack.
Wonder if public school burgers are edible these days. Mine had bits of bone and cartilage in it. Even thought I lost a tooth once when I found a tooth shaped piece. So gross.
the ones at my high-school(circa 2005) were supposedly a blend of soy and beef. I just know they were just the right amount of chewy, and went well with the american cheese product slices they put on them. I actually preferred them to the brand all-beef patties in my freezer right now, which are still pretty good.
You are entirely correct. Brown sugar beats out any other, and the sammich must be open-faced for taste balance.
Also, whole wheat bread and honey. Just honey, no butter. Let it sit for a couple of minutes. The honey soaks into the bread and gets kind of, I dunno, stiff? crispy? It is of teh excellence.
You know, even for carnivores, a diet consisting purely of muscle-flesh meat (a patty of ground beef, in this case) is rather unbalanced. In the wild, carnivores like wolves and such get the other vitamins they need from eating organ meat.
So, a nutritionally balanced Sarnothi lunch plate might be double beef patties, and a side “salad” of bird kidneys, livers, hearts and stomachs.
… and of course, fish eyeballs for dessert!
Selkie: “YAYS!”
It depends on the animal—and keep in mind carnivores don’t eat “everything” each time they eat (especially the ones who hunt larger prey). A couple burgers for lunch will not totally harm their nutrition. But you know? The most nutritious lunch is always a packed one, but that is a tough thing to talk most kids into doing when they see their peers eating hot lunches from a tray and feel a bit pressured to conform.
“The most nutritious lunch is always a packed one”
OBJECTION!
There is nothing more or less inherently nutritious about a packed lunch vs. a school provided lunch. A packed lunch could easily be very un-nutritious, and a school lunch could be very nutritious. Especially if we go outside the norms of American schools and school lunches.
It’s not, but then again (portions aside) school lunches were never the greatest things for kids anyhow. They are very high in sodium and these days they can be high in sugar, too (among other things).
IMAO, you are SO correct in your assessment. I automatically assumed that was what Dave was getting at, and which has been done before. Thanks for the peer confirmation.
Ohhhh right! They won’t give him multiple desserts, but the sarnothi children are probably allowed to do desserts still. He could be bartering for lots and lots of pudding cups…
Oh, finally! I am so glad to see those fellas again! <3
Don't get me wrong, I love the whole Sarnothi-stuff as much as the next guy, but I really started to miss them.
You and me both!
I can’t blame George for trying that, I’d would have done the same.
I once did the terribly unwise thing of trying to eat a bowl of cereal with about three cups of sugar added to it.
My dad knew someone who got up in the middle of the night agnes was hungry, so he went downstairs and poured himself a bowl of fruit loops. Added a couple extra scoops of sugar.

Something something discrimination, they probably can’t offer different menus according to race/species under current policy.
They also could have, y’know, allowed one-for-one substitutions, not ‘hand over the steamer tray of hamburgers’…
I’d think it were no different than offering a vegetarian option. No need to call discrimination
That’s what I mean, they can have a regular/vegetarian/carnivore option, but they can’t discriminate who gets to pick which.
Ah I love butter and sugar sandwiches with all my heart and soul.
OMG I did too! (Although my sister and I preferred them open-faced.) But I usually limited myself to four slices.
I haven’t even heard of these “butter and sugar” sandwiches before now. Is that literally what they’re topped with, or is that just their name?

It… it sounds sort of like Fairy Bread, which is Australian, I think? Buttered bread with sprinkles on it.
Its good. But better with cinnamon added and toasted

We would flatten the bread with a rolling pin, then create a butter-and-sugar roll up.
Now that is something to try, that sounds like FUN!

I’m spoiled these days. I have access to bison and elk.
I do butter and brown sugar, but I don’t make it a sandwich, because two pieces of bread would be not enough sugar for too much bread.

“Kid, you are clearly a human.”
“Excuse me? Are you saying I don’t look Sarnothi enough? You better hand over those hamburgers before my dad sues you for racism!”
“Did you just assume my species??!! AND my ability of burger consumption??!!
“Foodfellas”?
I’m glad to see Wu and Sandy again. I missed those two!
Also, George no! You’ll get sick!
I missed them too!

Alas, yes. It depends entirely on who is packing the lunch.
This doesn’t sound good for any of them.
Also who says he can’t? XD Well his stomach. But other than that?
It’s not, but then again (portions aside) school lunches were never the greatest things for kids anyhow. They are very high in sodium and these days they can be high in sugar, too (among other things).
who says that HE will be eating all of it? he could be planning on an EPIC lunch-trade with Selkie, Tehk AND Te Fahn…

Why am I imagining Selkie as using the plural f-bomb there?
