@JNat tricky one, this user might have been hacked, as he posted obvious spam on MSE now. Any chance to look into it? Thanks!

Luckily no spam on SO yet... maybe spammer too afraid to be exposed if trying there.

sdc coffee spammer but make it with salt

@ShadowWizardisVaccinating hmm... assuming very good faith, it might be an honest mistake of lost sheep. Not an obvious spam to me.

@MetaAndrewT. looking at his posts I think the latter

You're all too good! ;)

But meh, not my call, and it was spammy enough for me.

Becoming a mod might change your perception since everything is done in 1 vote...

@ShadowWizardisVaccinating and mods have a bit more information

And a better sense of smell

12:50 PM

sniff

Today's Eating ^

0.o what is that?!

Kibbeh

Kibbeh (, also kubba and other spellings; Arabic: كبة‎) is a family of dishes based on spiced ground meat, onions, and grain, popular in Middle Eastern cuisine.In Levantine cuisine, kibbeh is usually made by pounding bulgur wheat together with meat into a fine paste and formed into balls, with toasted pine nuts and spices. It may also be layered and cooked on a tray, deep fried, grilled, or served raw. In Iraq, versions with rice or farina are found. Some recipes add semolina.Kibbeh is considered to be a national dish of Lebanon and Syria, and is popular in Palestine, Jordan, and Cyprus. Versions...

@rene Definitely! The insides could be 'boerenkoolbal'.... But then I still don't know what's on the outside :P

Well, one of many variants.

medium-rare chicken stuffed with basil?

oh, this does sound good

@JohnDvorak the cover is made from Beetroot, the meat is well-done.

It's not a burger. :D

And it even includes vegetables. Well done!

Also, not chicken. Think it's beef? Not sure, but almost sure not chicken.

oh, not chicken pau?...

@Tinkeringbell yeah, full meal in four balls.

John Dvorak

12:55 PM

Not a fan of beet. Sorry!

There are 6 in the pack, leaving 2 for other time.

@JohnDvorak me neither, but coming this way, I find it tasty somehow.

@MetaAndrewT. (now I'm hungary...)

@MetaAndrewT. say hi to hunbob!

I find it offensive.

@ShadowWizardisVaccinating It may be offensive, but it is not spam. It is also legal in many parts of the world.

@DavidPostill Smokey also reports offensive posts.

Anything that requires a red flag.

well, dog meat is culinary in some part of my country...

@MetaAndrewT. Oi

Dogs are friends not food

Only as long as there's other food available.

2:26 PM

don't shoot the mess-anger!

/me hopes @Tinkeringbell isn't a hungry norweigian

user707129

@ShadowWizardisVaccinating I wouldn't red flag that.

@JourneymanGeek Nah. Just one of those people that'd eat anything, if feeling hungry enough :P

@Xnero there's a few things that seem off

@JourneymanGeek So would you flag it?

2:29 PM

Unregistered user?

@DavidPostill R/A? Sure

the story has too many holes

It's gone ...

@Xnero your call. But the way it's written feels like he's enjoying killing dogs and doing it for pleasure.

I don't think sadists have place in SE, sorry.

user707129

@ShadowWizardisVaccinating My flag actually killed it.

user707129

I wanted to see how many other people flagged it and killed it by accident.

I thought you said you wouldn't red flag it :D

2:30 PM

Good.

lol

user707129

@JourneymanGeek I wasn't expecting that there would be another 5 rude flags.

Guess people love dogs.

Or don't love people who eat dogs.

@Xnero pro tip: don't test things by casting flags.

Best case you'll make a mess for a mod to clean up.

I'd expect more context in a real question

user707129

Thinking about it, this seems off: "So I have this dog that I've been taking care of for the past year or so ever since he was a little pup."

It all seems off.

2:33 PM

Yup

So better be nuked off orbit. :D

Given the account name (Captain Cook) I'm now leaning towards Troll.
> Dogs were fed a vegetarian diet and served during feasts as a delicacy. European explorers were the first outsiders to observe and record their existence, and they were served to early explorers including Captain James Cook.

Also, if you're cooking something unusuall, there's usually a cultural tradition

Or a lack of other sources of the same nutrients ;)

in which case you wouldn't ask on the internet

2:43 PM

Probably not, no ;)

I'd probably treat "How do I roast a pet parrot" the same way

Well there's something to be said about not wasting a good pet but...

I think even the Christmas rabbits have grown out of fashion here.

uhm

Bunnies for pets or bunnies as the centerpiece of Xmas dinner?

Frog legs should be enough if you're hungry.

Both? First they are a pet then they end up dinner.

2:45 PM

erf

I know someone that still turns her pet chickens into dog food when their time comes...

I mean, I'm vegitarian and all

@Tinkeringbell same bunnies?

but I tend to consider pets kinda part of the family

Poor pets.

Especially if they're part of the family, you're better off serving them as Christmas dinner :P

2:47 PM

along with granma?

I think eating granma can give you some weird diseases?

Kuro and CJD arn't that different :D

and y'all eat cattle :D

But if not... I think yeah. Solves a whole bunch of problems for the rest of the year, and she has some use.

lol

@JourneymanGeek From what I know, that cattle was raised under monitored conditions, butchered under monitored conditions, and cooked well :P I can't guarantee the first two for a grandma

2:49 PM

@Tinkeringbell well, the right nursing home might handle one, maybe two.... :D

@Tinkeringbell CJD was basically cause they fed cows sheep scraps and...

@JourneymanGeek Wish we could get her into one. Most of them have been budgeted away. She sure needs one.

@JourneymanGeek I know :)

I think it was only a thing when I was very young though, haven't heard much about it since my teens.

well they stopped feeding cows that sort of (s)crap

Yeah, guess it worked.

3:06 PM

A man eating chicken.

What kind of plane is that?!

General Atomics MQ-1 Predator

Similar to:

The General Atomics MQ-1 Predator is an American remotely piloted aircraft (RPA) built by General Atomics that was used primarily by the United States Air Force (USAF) and Central Intelligence Agency (CIA). Initially conceived in the early 1990s for aerial reconnaissance and forward observation roles, the Predator carries cameras and other sensors. It was modified and upgraded to carry and fire two AGM-114 Hellfire missiles or other munitions. The aircraft entered service in 1995, and saw combat in the war in Afghanistan, Pakistan, the NATO intervention in Bosnia, Serbia, the Iraq War, Yemen, the...

It looks weird.

@Rob interesting, it's not in the original image.

You planted it?

@Tinkeringbell it's meant to reflect radar, or something like that. I think.

@ShadowWizardisVaccinating I mean... what gave it away, the photoshopped plane? :P

3:19 PM

The grass is planted, but not by me. @Tink It's unmanned, unlike the chicken.

@Tinkeringbell lol yes, but turns out it's different in more things. (e.g. man instead of a boy being held in his butt by the chicken, almost like they're doing a remake)

UAV (Unmanned Animalistic Vehicle)?

@Tinkeringbell If it's poo related The Shadow Knows.

Exploding Chicken.

I mean, I thought the "plane" was the chicken, because... you know...
