Food Trivia

The earliest form of eating processed food occurred in early hunting cultures when the men who made a kill would be rewarded with a meal of the partially digested contents of the stomach of their prey.

Food Joke

A little change On his way back from work one evening, Benny gets hit by a car as he crosses Threadneedle Street and is knocked unconscious. To the bystanders, he looks in a bad way. A Priest happens to be passing and not knowing Benny’s religion, administers last rites. But immediately, Benny`s eyes open and he’s quickly fully awake. "What were you saying to me?" asks Benny. The Priest tells him about the last rites. "I suppose a little bit of a different religion won’t hurt," says Benny, "thanks." Benny can’t wait to tell his family about his experience. When he gets home, he says to his wife, "Yetta, you won`t believe what’s just happened to me." But she tells him, "Later, Benny, later. I don`t have time. I’m late for my supervision meeting. I’ve left your dinner in the oven. See you later." So Benny goes up to his daughter’s room and says, "Leah, you won`t believe what’s just happened to me." But she says, "Sorry, Dad, I’m on the phone planning my weekend. Could you please come back later, and close the door behind you, will you." He then goes to look for his son who he finds driving the car out the garage. "Maurice, you won`t believe what’s just happened to me." But his son says, "Dad, I’m late for a date. I need the car and some money. Can you lend me £100 please? I’ll talk to you tomorrow." So Benny goes back into his house, shakes his head and says, "I’ve only been a gentile for two hours and already I hate three Jews."
