I can't wait until the bird flu epidemic hits. A 40-70% reduction in population is just what we need. Imagine how the unemployment rate will drop! Imagine how empty the freeways will be! Sure I might not be one of the lucky ones, but it's a risk I'm willing to take.

/slightly off topic?

973K - "A bit warm."

700C, 1300F, that's as hot as a volcano. You sure they're not talking about McDonalds apple pies?

Bird flu AND mad cow disease....those Brits...

heinousjay: Most McDonald's food can only be conveniently expressed on the logarithmic McUnit scale, where 0.1 McU is the temperature of the surface of the sun, and 100 McU is the temperature of McDonald's coffee.

1,292 degrees Farenheit vs. 158, for those of us who use that system.

And... (sigh)... when is this farking bird flu panic going to be over? Or did no one notice the memo that the human form, which likes to live deep in the lungs, is not easily transmissible?

People should be more worried about the sudden mumps epidemic that's broken out in the Midwest. 'Cause, y'know -- mumps can ruin the little guys forever. Ouch.

Press release typo shocker!

/ Next?

This would be the hottest recipe for 'pollo carbonara', I take it?

That'd be one burnt, dry tasting chicken. Not worth eating.

Meh, kinda cold. Only a fifth as hot as the surface of the sun.

But on the plus side, the bacteria will definitely be dead.

why doesn't the media report these temperatures in kelvin?

From TFA: Red-faced bosses at East Kent Hospitals Trust say they meant to say cook the chicken at 60coontil the bird's heat is 70C inside, when the virus is killed.

If you heat something at 60C, how can it get to 70C?

Also, why are you cooking things at 60C?

Hey, isn't eating burned food supposed to cause cancer?

A spokesman said: "People told us it'd certainly be inedible by then!"



So I called up East Kent Hospitals Trust and told them "it'd certainly be inedible by then!!" Hahaha! I'm such an incorrigible rascal!

Haha! British food is frequently overcooked and unpalatable! You original, free-thinking jester!

How about a sly rejoinder regarding the state of our teeth? No one's mined THAT seam of comedy gold in some time.

Pretty rich for a country whose food would be better served in troughs, isn't it? We'll rule the world again, once the entire population of the US has become immobile. So, around Tuesday, I should think.

chickity china
the chinese charcoal

ebwilford: You original, free-thinking jester!



If you think that's funny, you should have heard the man's response. He said, totally deadpan, "yes, i imagine it would be." It was so wickedly funny I was stumped for a response. After a several minutes of silence I just hung up and went to record the conversation on my weblog or "blog".

Cremated chicken?

So using this method, you may not get bird flu, but you will probably be incinerated by the volcanic poultry when you put it in your mouth.

/provided it doesn't melt your plate and fork on the way to your maw.

That sounds yummy.

Charred meat for the win!

I must have put a decimal point in the wrong place or something. Sh**. I always do that. I always mess up some mundane detail.

Michael Bolton? No, I think the more appropriate reference is:
"Nobody does it like Molton Boron!"

No! The actual quote is "Nobody doesn't ike Molton Boron!" Havn't you listened to your directors commentarys on your Futurama DVDs?

I highly recommend this recipe book: "The Whole Beast, nose to tail eating" by Fergus Henderson.

No man
There's gonna be trouble when the book hits the anus.

ebwilford: So, around Tuesday, I should think.

We'll just obtain a dialing wand, and use it to press teh nuke button, if you try anything funny.

Nentuaby: No man

The Menu at St. John

English cooking isn't all bad.

What a burn!

"Do you want crisps with that?"

A British recepe usually starts like this...
"Take two large onions..." (Damn Brits stick onions in EVERYTHING!)
Then there usually something about boiling for two hours, or frying in lard.

And what is Welsh Rarebit? That's a grilled cheese sandwich right?

If I'm not mistaken there never has been a case of animal to human infection by means of consumption of that animal. IE no known cases of mad cow proven to be caused by the consumption of a infected cow and so on.

We'll rule the world again, once the entire population of the US has become immobile.

Oh, so you're trying to play that sterotype that all Americans are fat and belligerent huh? If I wasn't wedged in this office chair I'd come over there and kick your ass.

British cooking its not like anyone would know the differance....

Brave Sir Robin: Oh, so you're trying to play that sterotype that all Americans are fat and belligerent huh? If I wasn't wedged in this office chair I'd come over there and kick your ass.


I haven't laughed that hard in a while, thank you good sir.

Uh, yeah.
I'll have a bucket of ash, "extra-crispy."

And what is the melting point of chicken?

Oh, so you're trying to play that stereotype that all American humor is based on repetition and milking the same joke until it isn't funny anymore, huh? If I wasn't wedged in this office chair I'd come over there and kick your ass.

I belive you should cook them at 700 degrees Kelvin, just to be sure.

The Flu Virus Has To Be Inhaled Into Your Repsiratory Tract, Just Don't Be An Idiot When You Are Eating.

You cannot get the flu any other way.

700C? That's like, what 150 American?

Chicken ala Mola ram...

farkeruk: I've visited the USA and seen about the blandest range of food of any country I've been to.


you must have been in the wrong places, due to immigration from all over the world over the past two hundred years almost any kind of food can be found in significant quantity and quality in america.

like everything else "american food" is mostly a collaboration and adaptation of foods from around thw world.

RainDawg: 700C? That's like, what 150 American?

700 degrees Celsius = 1292 degrees Fahrenheit

In other news, long lines of British people are standing outside crematoriums with raw chickens dangling from their hands...
