I wish... Since I've never eaten that brand before I have no objections!

Sounds fine to me.

Surreal beef stock. I thought everybody knew that.

Imaginary beef stock, from i of the round.

[ffutures.livejournal.com]

Sorry, I'm missing the joke on that one.

[pauldrye.livejournal.com]

i being the square root of -1 and the basis of imaginary numbers.

(and eye of the round being a cut of beef)

[ffutures.livejournal.com]

OK - never heard that bit of beef being called an eye before.

Oh good grief...

Maybe it's a Doublemeat Palace product, after their secret got out.

[ffutures.livejournal.com]

Definitely a possibility.
