Mmmmm...Big Brother Slop!

by Bob Sassone, Posted Jul 31st 2006 @ 6:01PM

Chicken George I don't watch CBS' Big Brother. Not only does it hold no interest for me, but I'm also not a masochist. But I have to admit I'm intrigued by this disgusting competition they have going on within the show (and by "intrigued" I mean "appalled").

It seems that the prisoners morons who put themselves in this situation contestants have been eating a form of oatmeal-ish gruel as punishment for not winning various food challenges. The list of specific ingredients is very long and contains long, boring words, but it's based in oatmeal and contains many condiments (balsamic vinegar, parsley, rosemary, hot sauce, ketchup, mayo, mustard, pickles, salsa, relish, soy sauce, steak sauce, white sugar, tea, brown sugar, BBQ sauce, and several others. Excuse me while I gag.

I'm not reporting this so you can make this slop in your own home, of course. In fact, I suggest you don't make it at all.

Honest to Bubba, I wouldn't touch that stuff if you paid me lots of money. If it's as bad as the house-boobs make it sound it's too nasty for the doc!

*rollseyes*

the nutritional value of "slop": 290 calories per serving, 27g protein, 40 grams of carbs, 4g of fat, high in fiber.

this is no different than the previous big brothers, when the food challenge losers had to eat peanut butter and jelly sandwiches for a week. in fact, this is better, since oatmeal is far more neutral, and they can flavor it any way they want. and some good recipes have come out of this. i believe george (the guy pictured above) started making fried oatmeal patties/nuggets. that actually sounds pretty tasty.

but i'll stop now, for you high class tv watchers don't want to hear about the shows common people like myself enjoy.

i'm pretty sure that it's not snobbery that keeps people from watching dung like 'Big Brother'. it's just the comfortable knowledge that shows like that are horribly depressing and pointless.

saying that people who don't watch Big Brother are 'high class tv watchers' is like saying that people who don't eat boiled goat's bowels are food snobs.

I like to flvor my oatmeal with, ginger, vanilla, salt, nestle's quick chocolate milk without the milk, dark syrup, (I ran out of sugar). I have been known to add grape jelly. I have added ginger, nutmeg too. These are some of the ingrediants for Oatmeal cookies. I could eat oatmeal everyday if I had to.
