Humor: Mystery Meat!

[slimster]

Jim the city boy had the right idea; He bought a Win. 94 in 30-30 because he wanted to become a deer hunter. On the first day of the season he manages to score on a nice little fork horn. Now, he understands that a true hunter eats what he shoots, but he's a little bit apprehensive because he's never tried venison before and neither has his family. He takes it to a butcher shop for processing, and soon he has some nice little white paper wrapped packages neatly labeled steak, roast, ribs, etc. Well his wife is not especially thrilled, but she's a very understanding sort, and readily agrees to fix a deer roast for supper that night, but tells Jim that it's his job to deal with the kids about supper. All the time she's preparing the dish the two young'uns were pestering her to tell them what was for supper, and her reply was "it's a surprise and you'll have to ask your dad". Well, once the blessing is said, and everyone is served up, Jim digs in with gusto, trying to set an example for the kids. His wife, understanding sort that she is, follows his example. Eleven year old Suzie and eight year old Joey are naturally much more reluctant. After many times of asking what kind of meat is this, and always the same reply, "it's mystery meat, try it", little Joey finally takes a tentative bite and begins chewing slowly. Encouraged by this, Jim once again encourages Suzy to give it a try. "No way", replies Suzy. "I aint eating nothing without knowing what it is". Jim, beginning to get exasperated, decides that giving her a hint is in order. "Well Suzy, I'll give you a hint: the kind of meat we're having is what you hear your mom call me all the time." Suzy quickly turns to her little brother and yells "Eww, spit it out Joey, you're eatin' *******!"

We once served groundhog at a picnic, and since it was in patties we grilled as burgers, my mom just said it was "ground chuck"
