wtf?

[plonq]

I usually don't pay much attention to pictures in grocery flyers, but atara called my attention to this one while we were shopping today.

"What the heck is going on in that picture?"



I can get past the fact that the skillet is about 1/3 the size that it needs to be for the amount of food in it. This is disaster and heartache waiting to happen if one thinks they are going to try and cook this amount of food on the stove top, but for the moment we will assume that the intent is to put the skillet into the oven. Slide it in there at 375 and let the chopped onions and celery cook in the hamburger juice that runs off - could work.

But wait, it's already garnished. This is the final dish, ready to be served. Either mom has gone insane, or she's turned into an evil gourmet. "Grab your sporks kids, it's hamburger tartare on a bed of raw shallots and celery." Mmm. A bit of vanilla and ground turmeric and you're set. It's best if the centre is still slightly frozen.

And LOOK!
It's

"PC free from
lean ground beef"

No politically correct lean ground beef here!

Yummy

Just the fact that they've trademarked 'free from' is startling.

It's actually one of their new promotions. The "free from" chicken, pork and beef are supposedly free from antibiotics and hormones.

Great, so not only are they using too much food, they're using too many resources to grow it.

And it looks like the RHPS lips, too.

The garnish is the best bit.

Then again, when you think about it, it HAS been served. To you, through the flyer. I think they're relying on the fact that you can't get diseases from the paper.
It does look delicious.
