The Born Loser by Art and Chip Sansom for February 17, 2025

Sold give me my $5 and take the other $5 to pay for the meal and bring me a slice of pie

Just fry a burger and dip it in some gravy, he’ll never know the difference.

I think the only time I had Salisbury Steak was when my mom fixed us TV dinners! Thst was one of my favorite options. And then they started making the trays in cardboard instead of foil, so you could microwave them. That was so much better because the foil wouldn’t mess with the flavor! Ha!

To me, Salisbury steak is a poor excuse for a meal. My apologies to anyone who likes it. Brutus got cheated or lucky, depending on how you look at it.

I was in BJ’s this weekend and I picked up a package of Cube Steak…$23.00? I put it back faster than I picked it up

Salisbury steak is enough like meatloaf to just have meatloaf. Tell her to put gravy on it with the mashed potatoes and you won’t know the difference. If he likes mushrooms put them on too but please don’t put that fungus on my portion.

Does paying $10 make it taste worse than paying $5?

Checked out a recipe for it. Worcestershire sauce? Which, to me, is like, “throw in some soy sauce”. Yuck!

new restaurant: Steak ‘N Bid

Try the soup Brutus .

and the Salisbury steak goes to the highest bidder. :D

I like a good Salisbury steak, but not enough to start a bidding war over the last one!

Legally Brutus wins, which by the way is a most excellent deal. However, to keep the waitress happy, he should advise her of the doubling of the tip to make her happy and insure that he gets what he ordered……

A pure example of the poor soul……..

I wonder if eBay’s auctioning steaks. You never know what you’ll find on there.

There goes the huge tip Brutus was going to give her /s

The phrase “lucky me” when spoken by Brutus is a harbinger of certain disappointment. Although here I’m not sure that the winner isn’t really the loser. Salisbury steak is nothing to get into a bidding war IMHO. Go for a big juicy burger Brutus.

So what’s your bid?

Ewwww. I never liked that Salisbury steak or anything like it. On the rare instances that I crave beef, it’s a a real good burger from a real (not fast food) restaurant or a filet cooked medium.

Why bid $10 for glorified hamburger?

Doesn’t Salisbury steak have something else in it? Another kind of meat? I know that we had that sometimes in high school and that was a day everyone wanted to sit near me because I would trade the Salisbury steak (not a steak!) for something else. Like mashed potatoes. I guess I am a little like my dog after all.

Salisbury steaks for me mean TV dinners and when I was a kid, hungry is hungry – Hungry Man lol!!!. Now I look at the sodium content on those and my heart gets a coronary just looking at the numbers.
