touché, touché.

That’s because the angel food cake tastes like hell.

Shepherds in the shepherd’s pie?

… or devils in the deviled eggs

There’s no rats in the ratatouille!

There is also no dogs in hotdogs.

(I hope that’s true. With today’s meat producers, one is never sure. In China I would be sure.)

The Devil!, you say.

Looks like he’s stewed.

…or Girl Scouts in Girl Scout Cookies. (Hat tip to Wednesday Addams.)

So … “Where’s the beef?”

No Harvey in a Harvey Wall Banger

Or perhaps instead, angel’s food cake is the dessert consumed by the angels…

bet there’re no newtons in the fig newtons, either…

I think she’s been winging it this whole time.

I use fresh monkey in my monkey bread

So eat your soup.

If olive oil is made from olives,

and corn oil is made from corn,

What do you think baby oil is made from?

So it’s probably OK to eat ladyfingers. I didn’t know.

Yes, but Roz with the Angel Food Cake we expect that it will taste angelic. Can we not expect the Beef Stew to at least taste beefy?

Ham in hamburger.

Nor shepherds in the shepherd’s pie, one hopes.

In a Devil’s Food Cake the devil is in the details.

If he was dinning with the Fusco Brothers he’d at least have a fly in his soup.

or babies in baby food (i hope)

Now there is a devil in devil’s cake!

Don’t order the slumgullion.

the flies will make up for it

Depends on the recipe.

Jeffrey Dahmer might have argued that point…..

But the Girl Scout cookies …
