Okay, What if I COMBINE my meat and my pudding?

[RandomKoolzip]

Is it necessary to have one follow another in some sort of sequence? Can I eat my meat while it is soaked in pudding?

Is there a manager here I can speak to....?

1. Isnt that and English dish? Yorkshire pudding?

3. How can I have my Yorkshire pudding if I don't eat my meat?

I dunno, maybe it's me, but this Mr. Floyd character telling me what sequence in which to eat my foods really gets me steamed. Pink Floyd, FoodCop! Well, I for one will not be bullied into eating my meat, thank you very much, Mr. So-called Floyd.

2. Doesn't count.

You must, specifically, eat your pudding AFTER you eat your meat. How can you have any pudding if you don't eat your meat?

4. But the bumper sticker says I should question authority!

And dammit, I will not go gently into that meat-then-pudding-eating night. Rail, rail against the pudding of the light....

5. Maybe it was meant metaphorically

The order in which meat and dessert are eaten, as some kind of philosophical reference? Yet, even with all the acid I've eaten, I've never gleaned anything from this particular passage even remotely resembling a metaphor, except the fact that it sounds really cool when you're on acid.

What about vegetables? Can one eat them in any order in relation to the rest of the meal?

What kind of meat? Is it kosher? Is it grilled, baked, or fried?

What kind of pudding?

Where are we supposed to be eating this meat and pudding? "Behind the grandstands" seems a rather bizarre palce for an afternoon meal, does it not?

7. Stand still, laddy!

IS the lunch menu ALWAYS Meat and Pudding? What if I'm on the SOuth Beach Diet? Shouldn't we branch out into english mufin pizzas and tater tots occasionally? Instead of pouring "derision," can't you pour some "kool-aid" or "orange juice" or "transmission fluid" upon "everything we did?"

I've got a lot of questions...and a lot of pain.

10. You're missing a very important point.

"Derision" isn't a drink, like kool-aid, orange juice, or transmission fluid. It's poured ON "everything we did."

Therefore, it is some type of gravy or sauce, and not, as you imply, a drink.

[RandomKoolzip]

11. Hmmm. So even if I hide it carefully...

My "everything we did" is still going to get soggy.

Once, this guy came up to me on the street and "exposed" his "weakness," if you know what I'm saying...it was neither meat nor pudding.

Okay, so we've established that pudding must always follow meat, and that "derision" is some sort of flour/water/salt demi-glaze on which to pour on carefully hidden weaknesses and "everything we did."

I'm learning a lot about school!

14. But when I taught to you question authority, I did NOT MEAN ME!

Dammit.

6. Blood pudding is good with

pork chops and apples.

8. If you don't eat your meat, you CAN'T have any pudding!

How can you have any pudding if you don't eat your meat!?

[RandomKoolzip]

9. Okay, so this IS a hard and fast rule, then....

If my (populist) Mom says so, then it's gotta be true!


Sometimes, we go on a quest...and end up back where we started.

12. I don't see at as necessarily sequential, you would be in compliance

Suppose you did mix the two, how could you eat one without also eating the other? Thus, you may eat your meat WITH your pudding, or BEFORE your pudding, the only potential problem occurs if you try to eat it AFTER the pudding. Which, I hope, was Mr. Floyd's point.

13. As long as you finish all of it.

Or at the very least if there is leftover it should be of pudding. I don't want to see a bunch of meat chunks sitting in the garbage when you finish!
