Ewwwwww, *gross*. You know, after seeing these kind of ads, it gets easier and easier to become vegetarian. Just sayin'.

The word "loaf" is starting to make me ill.

[misstia]

so a 'loaf' contest is out then eh?

[write-light.livejournal.com]

oh please no! Unless I can post loaves of bread (http://www.atticpaper.com/blog/images/hostess_zest.jpg) and tassled loafers (http://pzrservices.typepad.com/vintageadvertising/images/2008/05/01/shoe_ad_4.jpg). :D

[misstia]

yeah, you could....i think i'm gonna add 'loafs' to the hat! :-) that could be a VERY interesting contest!!!

This. I'm a vegetarian already but I'm very mellow about it... but these ads remind me that I could probably never eat meat again even if for some weird reason I decided I should.

I dont think my dogs would eat that! Oo

Ladies and gentlemen, the unknowing faces of gout, presented for your perusal.

Gross!!

Look, I like tongue. Especially when done like a steak, with gravy.

But tongue loaf, canned tongue loaf at that, fills me with nothing but dread.

[mackinzie.livejournal.com]

No thanks.

Pity they could only spring for two colours of ink, and that they chose to colour the people rather than the meat. Nothing more appetising than a plate of slabs of grey meat...

[nyxalinth.livejournal.com]

Your icon's expression is perfect :D

[write-light.livejournal.com]

I use barfing Misha for just this sort of ad. ;D

[murakozi.livejournal.com]

Those smiles look so forced, as if they're afraid they'll get wished into the corn field if they don't say they love the loaf.

[cheesygirl.livejournal.com]

Mmmmmmm, more gray meat! P:

[luke-russell.livejournal.com]

Notice the loaf is served with a side of grey bacon!

[tanwen.livejournal.com]

Pork or Ham loaf MIGHT be good fried, but thank you no on the rest.

[plumtreeblossom.livejournal.com]

If you can't find it in stores, you can always make your own! (http://www.cooks.com/rec/view/0,1627,153163-235200,00.html)

"Liver Loaf had accomplices!" And they're all serving time in the can.

[rhonan.livejournal.com]

Given that calling it Liverwürst was not politically correct during the War years, and meat rationing and all...

[pikkewyntjie.livejournal.com]

Considering how it was probably full of fillers, "loaf" is probably a more apt word anyway. Who knows what those "other nourishing ingredients" were, but I'm sure it wasn't quality meat.

[write-light.livejournal.com]

"Liver Loaf: Cured pork, pork livers, beef tripe, beef, water, corn flour, eggs, pimientos, dry skim milk, flavorings, sugar."

I'm not kidding. XP :retching:

[pikkewyntjie.livejournal.com]

Ugh! Um, thanks?

I think I'll go get a McPink Slime Deluxe instead.

[rhonan.livejournal.com]

Ew, the stuff that was in the liver loaf was actually nutritious, and didn't have to be treated with ammonia to kill all the nasties it had.

[pikkewyntjie.livejournal.com]

It's not just the food that bothers me. I don't like the way that couple is looking at me and what exactly do they want me to come and get? I just know that guy would offer me some "tongue loaf" and he wouldn't be referring to the canned meat.

[cionaudha.livejournal.com]

Here to defend liverwurst and tongue! There's a Salvadoran place not far from me that makes a tongue dish that is ambrosial, and I'm not even kidding.

And liverwurst? My father's people are Danish: liverwurst is a sacrament. Put some sauteed mushrooms and bacon on that, maybe a modicum of shaved red onion, slap 'er on black bread with a bit of hot mustard, and that's good eatin'.

Just think of it as pate.

"I ate his liver and tongue loaf with some fava beans and a nice Chianti."

Thanks. :D
