Play With Steak

Check out this old steak toy set found on ebay.

Now, I know that pretending to grill and flip and cook can provide kids with hours of wholesome entertainment. And I want to support that. I really do.

But can we talk about that steak for a minute?

Is that a very yellow layer of fat around the edge? What on earth? So much for marbling.

And the steak’s color? What is that? It’s just not right. I’m afraid this meal’s lucky diner might end up with a pretend case of “upset tummy.”

But, hey! Head on over to ebay and bid if you really want this dynamic playset – if I haven’t taken all of the fun out of it already…

Steak Tie Sandwich

This work of art is a sandwich with grilled steak, Swiss and cheddar cheeses and fried onions.

Who says food has to just look like . . . food?

I love when people use their creativity for the good of all mankind. This is something that should be shared with everyone! It’s good enough to eat!

And, yes, it’s okay to play with your food!
