Okay, now this is hilarious...
Now I'm curious to go back through old stories/writing and see if I've used any weird food references...
Since I'm not big on physically describing characters, the only story I can think of with (potentially) problematic descriptions is SCARLIGHT, but since I have decided on a pallet of colours for him to see the world in, if I have fallen prey to any food-comparisons, at least finding a substitute will be easy :)
Personally (in that linked article) I was hoping for a description using uncooked egg whites as a comparison... which, I feel, are one of the more disgusting things a person could eat. Actually, eggs in general I find a little creepy.
By the way, did you know that blood can be used as a substitute for eggs? Seriously... this IS going to end up in a story someday... I've been toying with AotD as an appropriate medium...
And yes my head is full of weird facts. This makes me useless at 'proper' small talk, yet it's incredibly useful at driving away people I don't want to have a conversation with.
Really? You want to tell me about the latest celebrity-fad-high-protein-diet you're on? Well, let me tell you an interesting fact about eggs and blood...
Works every time ;)
Aw, yis! I am so stealing that for certain vampires. Who will offer to make breakfast for humans.
ReplyDelete"This -- isn't food colouring, is it?"
".... no."
"You put blood into pancakes. And you expect us to eat it?"
"It's fine."
"Fine."
"I added herbs."
Haha
DeleteApparently, it will taste very iron-y
