‘Tasty food!’ he said, licking his fingers.
She smiled. It was their first date. She had done the cooking.
‘But what is it?’ he asked. ‘Beef?’
‘No.’
‘Pork?’
‘No.’
‘Lamb?’
‘No.’
‘Poultry?’
‘No.’
‘Deer?’
‘No.’
‘Fish?’
‘No.’
‘Moose?’
‘Of course not!’
‘What then?’
‘It’s snake meat, dear.’
He turned pale.

Priceless! 😀
I hope your cooking is ‘safer’.
Again I didn’t see the point. 😦 People do eat snakes! So?
Ah… Only he doesn’t.
Okay. But am I right?
Sorry for being such a dim-wit.
People may eat snakes in some parts of the world, but they certainly don’t in the West, not regularly at least, and not without their knowledge.
I’m not sure I’d like to dine with you and be told afterward that you’ve just fed me tasty snakes. 🙂
As to the message of the story, I don’t think there is one. I’m not a propagandist. I’m a short and frail boy-writer with a hat!
Uh-huh. Okay!
And I’m sorry… I don’t know why I always expect a ‘purpose’ in your stories!
And rest assured, I don’t eat snakes. I’ve never even seen one in person!
Again, apologies for ruining the humor of your story. 😛 Its still good only, I wish I had used the invisible font to write this dissection!
I think I will use a long ostrich feather which happens to be in my possession to tickle you in India!
Oh, is that the standard punishment for stupidity these days? If so then please, I beg for forgiveness!
I don’t think I’d mind to know I ate a snake after I ate one. What’s the difference really? I enjoyed it, right?
I think the question must be put whether snake meat is good for Julie’s figure.
I don’t have any special diet. I’m just lucky. So I don’t think snake meat would cause me any trouble;).
It all taste like chicken. Good story. You certainly get the point across, or should I say I was fanged.
Haha, it kind of does. Meat is meat. It taste like meat. And with a dose of spices it’s hard to tell if it still is meat!;)
I surely would mind as well if I’m told afterwards that what I just ate is snake. Oh boy.
And this seems to be one of your longest 50-word!
Indeed, Sophie.
But what about other types of meat? Zebra, or crocodile, or dove meat? How do you feel about them?
Thank god it was just a snake, not crocodile 😉
I was worried it would be Soylent Green there for a moment.
I’ve had kangaroo….
haha….hilarious…really hope could see a pic of that guy when she replied SNAKE!!!!
Do you have the bravery to try new dishes?
I still eat past with meatballs dear Julie, though lately I have tried different types of pasta. 😀
Well, that is an improvement :). I’m proud of you!
