The Duplex by Glenn McCoy for March 21, 2025

Preservatives and filler.

There is no season called “Lent” in the Bible. It’s a sin to tell people to restrain from eating meat.

Oh my God! I forgot all about Lent. I was supposed to give something up. I haven’t eaten rye bread lately.

Well, that’s reassuring.

Is sawdust kosher?

They only use 100% cow, once all the beef is cut off of it.

CHECK IT 4 BELLY LENT!

mystery meat

So, did Hank cook his brother Frank from New York ??

tofu franks-chemically flavored to taste kind of like meat- disgusting

My old man worked in a meat packing plant. He said, for brats & dogs, you don’t want to know cause you’d never eat them.

Now we know where the rest of the frog goes after the legs are removed.

Hank didn’t disclose the fine print: “Minced sardines with beef flavoring.”

Since the tangerine regime is doing away with meat safety regulations, this will be the norm. Hasn’t anyone read “The Jungle?”

Ok, now the eyes have no pupils again, but the nose is still different.

Lent or no lent, that processed meat will kill you, dude.

The Roman Catholic Church created Lent to control church members. I minored in art in college. For the Art History class, I did a term paper on Cathedrals in France. One of them was the Rouen Cathedral. One of the bell towers got finished. But, they ran out of money to finish the 2nd one. So, the priest decided that during Lent, a parishioner could put butter on their bread if they bought an indulgence first. Because that raised enough money to finish the 2nd tower, the second tower was name the “Butter Tower.” That’s sort of like if you pay a sin tax, you can buy your way into Heaven.

The best thing about a truly authentic Chicago-style hotdog is that it must have a Vienna All-Beef Weiner!!!

“What did you give up for lent?”

“Well, I lent my neighbor my favorite garden tool and never saw it again…does that count?”

…and no, I’m not a follower.

One of them there new, “Beyond Edible” sausages?

Did Frank’s Franks go out of business?

Raise your hand if you had sex before marriage but won’t eat meat on Fridays during Lent.

We abstain from alcohol during lent
