The Frozen Meat Curse

I want to share something with you. It’s not a toy and it’s not a disease. It’s a tidbit about me. And, to a lesser extent, it’s a toy.

You see, for my whole life I have carried a terrible curse (just let go, lol?). Whenever I tried a supermarket frozen meat product (sausage roll, pie, pizza) it always tastes great the first time I have it but the next time it tastes AWFUL and it rarely recovers.

I thought the curse had been broken this week when I tried one of those Herbert Adams King Island Beef pies. Ohhhhh it was a magical occasion. Delicious gravy and excellent meat which wasn’t in mince pieces.

Tonight I decided to have another one. I heated it up and eagerly waited. Then I dug in and found it tasted average and the meat was a bit tough.

How?

Sounds like the curse of the Kebab. Those things only taste good when you are pissed. But the memory lingers on, until you find yourself ordering one for lunch, sober as a judge. Then the disappointment hits. And you cry. And the saltiness helps a bit, but adds to the sogginess factor and its just horrible.

Were you pissed / really hungry the first time, but not the second time?

Are you suggesting that even as a child I was pissed?

I haven't had a kebab for AGES (over a year). Feel like one now...

It would explain a lot - thats all I'm saying.

Don't do it!! (Unless you are pissed)
