The salt would kill you first.  Mrs. Liberty is far too good a chef for me to even think of eating that slop!

I don't see the benefit of eating HH, to be honest.  I don't think of it as very cheap, and you don't have to be on a salt restricted diet to say, "Woah, that's bad for me!"

I like the taste of it. I like that it is fast and convenient. My whole problem with it is that four or five days after I eat it, I am involuntarily turned into a masonry factory.  :shrug: Same with Tuna Helper.

In fact, I used it for the baseline for my own Double Cheeseburger Macaroni Casserole, which is far superior and contains no concrete mix of any kind. happy77

Who can afford hamburger?  Yesterday, I paid over $20 for three pounds of ground beef to make spaghetti sauce.  Chicken is still a bargain.

You could always cook a dog.  I hear Ohbama found them tasty.

Good news is you could make a mud hut out of them.  Stacking shit so high made easy.  Ikea

I thought of that. Not very cheap, and certainly not very easy, even after you get past the leading corners.  :shrug:

Nope. Bad idea. No concrete in the ol bung hole, thank you very much.  happy77

We did process two of our male ducks the other day... haven't had duck in a while.

Neighbors gave us 5 ducks and we raised them in the chicken electric fence not know which were male/female. After a while the males make a different sound than the females so we could id them. Our church has a group process day a few times a year where you take your foul and everyone works to process them.

My search engine is "Duck Duck Gone".... (ok, bad joke).

Hamburger, an onion (chopped), macaroni, a can of stewed or diced tomatoes. Salt and pepper to taste. "Hangover soup".

Seventeen Techniques for Truth Suppression

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.
