Just one piece. I thought it was a bacon bit. Traumatic, but not as bad as when I ate ants. The cat food was actually flavorless. Here is a list of things that taste worse than cat food:
olives
ranch dressing
ants
some Korean thing an ex-boyfriend made me try
wine, but it gets you drunk, so I would rather drink wine than eat cat food. Of course, I fall asleep after a half a beer, so I probably wouldn’t get drunk on a glass of wine, which means I would have to taste it without the payoff.
Funyuns
ranch dressing. I know it’s there twice.
I need to get Senor Cheeseburger to Photoshop me with a cat’s face. Prrrrrrrr.
Filed under: Animals, Funnies, I ate what?
Speaking of ants, I almost drank them again at work. It seems the ants make their rounds faster than the exterminators. Anyway, at least I haven’t eaten cat food!
Cat food aint so bad. It’s crunchy, and that gives it points. The cat always gets uppity when I start eating her food though so I try to lay off.
Its great how the interweb brings people of diverse tastes and interests together.
For instance, I like or love everything on that list that you said tastes worse that cat food. Love korean food, love olives, I like ranch dressing, I like funyuns, and a good dessert wine or plum wine (like the 5-year old plum wine I brought home from Japan and affectionately call the ‘Baby makin juice’) are wonders to behold that no being should go without before shuffling off this mortal coil.
Hey, send me the second part of your story too! If you send it to me today I can print it out at work.

Hey Sherri — definite points for mention of the product “Funyuns” and even more for its correct spelling! I myself might have taken the cat food over the bacon bits, but then again, I’ve been eating alfalfa extract for the past couple of weeks so that may cast some doubt on my judgement…
Smack!
and p.s. to Benticore — I’ve been trying to post on your site with no luck for the past couple of days…sniff, snorf, grr.
I generally don’t like things with a strong flavor, unless it happens to be something I grew up eating. I’m working on trying new foods, so Chinese food and broccoli are new on my acceptable foods list.
I’m just a poor, unsophisticated country girl who grew up on rabbit stew and pan bread. Bear with me.
Rabbit Season! Duck Season! Wabbit Season!
Sorry…its been THAT kind of day. I think its all about what you’re exposed to as a youngster. I’m all about flavor. In fact, I like flavor and spice so much, I have a bottle of Sweet Baby Ray’s Hot N Spicy Barbeque sauce at my desk at work, that I’ll bust out every couple of hours, dollop a little on the index finger and then smear all over my gums like crack. I think I’ve mentioned that…I cant wait till it gets cold so I get to make more chili! Yay!!
*does the happy chili dance*
Vamp-Slayer: I dont know whats wrong with my site but I’ll give it a stern talking-to today.

“I think its all about what you’re exposed to as a youngster.”
I believe it. My husband’s parents forced him to eat onions even though he didn’t like them. Now he can’t get enough.
He’ll do the chili happy dance with you, B. He complains that we don’t let him put enough chili powder in it.
How are you surviving without olives and wine in your diet? No wonder you get headaches!!!
Chili Powder? HA! I’ll have to send your husband my recipe for chili. Chili powder is the friendliest seasoning I have in there…lets see…
1) Chili Powder
Black beans
2) cayenne Pepper
3) Onion powder
4) Lawrys 6-pepper spice
5) jalapenos, simmered in the sauce
6) onions
7) kidney beans
9) ground beef
10) flank steak cut to bits
11) jalepenos, blackened and then pureed
12) Honey
13) Hot sauce
14) Sweet Baby Rays Hot N Spicy Barbeque Sauce
15) Picka Peppa Sauce
Yeah…its not for the faint at heart. Of course, I rarely make THAT chili because I dont want to see Cammy spontaneously combust when she eats it. So I tone it down. Dammit I want Chili now.

I have to say, Benticore, that I love chili. But I do prefer to have some taste buds left in my mouth after I’ve finished eating it.
Cayanne pepper! Ahhhhhhh!
I have learned to keep away from it. I will spare you all the details.
I used to have a friend who grew up very poor. Her mother was a drunk and her father was a cold S.O.B. Her mother would sometimes run off with men she met at the local bar. She always came back and was always taken back. During her “furloughs” the children would just be left to tend to themselves for weeks. This is how my very hungry friend found out that dog food is tasty if you dip it in butter. So try that next time Sherri.
I used to drink for recreation. It didn’t stick, thank God. I did try some red wine once. It tasted like dirt.
Black olives are great but, green olives are gross. What is wrong with you guys? Funyuns rule!
As a child I was forced to comsume green peppers. No, I do not like green peppers now and I did not like them then. Nor do I like them in a box or with a fox.
Now, for the real question. What the heck is going on with people who put picante sauce on everything?
Green peppers are only good cooked, preferable sauteed or grilled. Red, Yellow and Orange Peppers, however, are Wonderful raw. They;ve got a sweet crunch that you realy cant find in most vegetables. Sure they make for a great fajita, but if you get a chnace ty a sslice of raw red pepper. It might surprise you.
Picante? On an omelet with chicken and mushrooms and onions, maybe. Anything else is prolly pushin it.

Olives taste better after marinading them in Grey Goose.
my recently favorite recipe for chili is more like this: Chicken, northern beans, green peppers, jalapenos, cumin, white pepper and kosher salt in a chicken broth base. Maybe not really chili, but dam fine eatin’.
When my oldest was two, I made him his first tuna salad sandwich. I opened the can of tuna and he said, “You’re not going to make me eat cat food, are you?” I assured him it was not cat food (although I agreed with his assesment of the scent, and look), but he still wouldn’t eat it.
[...] A+ for the move from blogspot to wordpress.com. Obviously she just moved and hasn’t found a template that fits her blog just yet, but this one isn’t all that bad. A little boring. The sidebar is great; short and sweet. I see she’s realized WP’s new claim to fame in the sidebar widgets. Hopefully she won’t go sidebar widget happy and clutter it up too much playing around with her new toy. She’s right, the text is kinda small for aging eyes, but it’s not anything that can’t be fixed locally with a click of ctl+. There is no ‘about me’ on the new blog, so I trekked back over to the old to see what I could find. I found the generic blogger profile link. She’s a writer, a mother, a SAHM, and she is trying not to use the word “indeed” so much. Her move to WP seems to have gone right, except for a couple of posts that duplicated themselves on the second page. No biggie. I was laughing out loud at the “ So I Ate Cat Food Yesterday” post. It totally sounded like something I would do. [...]
