These are
recipes for men. They will drive women crazy. If you
are a woman, go read Good Housekeeping with all
those exaggerated descriptions of the food, and the lists
and lists of ingredients. All the recipes here adhere to
the "one inch rule." The list of ingredients is never more
than an inch long.
Men want to know about what they're eating--the gross
details. Where it came from. What its made of.
When I was little I remember sitting around the kitchen
table with my father and grandfather and uncles and eating
Limburger cheese with them. I think they did it to gross
out the women in the house. My mom and grandmother made
faces and kept away. The men drank beer and smoked
unfiltered cigarettes like Luckies and Camels. Eating gross
stuff like pigs feet and smelly cheese is a guy thing, it
makes us what we are.
Men don't like to waste a lot of time doing the dainty
little steps that women take such pride in. Men are lazy
and just want to get the job done. Furthermore we are
competitive and take delight in doing things fast and
efficiently. These recipes take every shortcut possible and
reduces the time to make lemonade to about a minute.
Men also want large portions, lots of meat, easy on the low
starch vegetables.
Bone appetite!
