Similar to this idea, but only referring to one sort of hat and sounds as though it would taste terrible. [hidden truths, Aug 14 2005]

Is it made of beef jerky? |
|
| |
It would provide a convenient landing pad for flies and other airbourne insects. |
|
| |
Coming next: edible crow. |
|
| |
[Mr.Jafreisi, Phd]I don't get that, is it for all those occasions when one finds oneself exclaiming "I'll eat my crow!"? |
|
| |
I'd accept a meandering crow that follows non euclidian flightpaths in order to justify wildly innacurate estimates of distance. |
|
| |
"No, I meant, as *this* crow flies!" |
|
| |
"to eat one’s hat, expressing one’s complete confidence in the outcome being described" |
|
| |
Well [HT] I'm looking forward to it (please provide evidence) |
|
| |
I should probably have gone with my gut feeling and written "If you bake this, I will eat my hat" instead. Would you like me to post you a half-digested hat [skinflaps]? |
|
| |
Well I never, you really do learn something new (about Americans) every day here on the hb. I'd never come across eating crow before. |
|
| |
Same material as edible panties? |
|
| |
This hat is made out of a high-starch dehydrated custard. |
|

1) I love the phrase "I'll eat my hat" and similar phrases, like "I'll be a monkey's uncle." |
|
| |
2) I love the term "cranial apparel." |
|
| |
3) I love the idea of an actual edible hat. Beef jerkey sounds great. Now, if we can only find a way to actually become a monkey's uncle. |
|
| |
[Mach] re #3 there, all you have to do is marry a monkey, and wait till one of your spouse's brothers or sisters have some baby monkies. Simple, providing you have the supporting legislature. |
|
| |
[edit] Ah, but that would make you a monkey's aunt. Nope, looks like the monkey's uncle dream is out the window. |
|
| |
zt: crow is, of course, edible, just very bitter. Much the same flavor as humble pie, I imagine. |
|
| |
//Nope, looks like the monkey's uncle dream is out the window.// |
|
| |
Geeze, news like that should be given a little more gently, [tom]! |
|
| |
I'm sorry [Mach], I didn't know how to break it any other way. Sometimes the truth hurts. I've heard of monkey reassignment therapy, but you have to spend years living as a monkey, adapting to a banana based diet, and wearing a big all-over monkey wig. I think the last time I heard about it, was on a documentary; They were following a day in the life of a former tax inspector from Grimsby, called Bobo (not his original name) as he adapted to his new role as a Costa Rican Howler monkey. It was very moving. |
|
| |
[DrCurry] yes, I've not thought about this before, but this and talk a few months ago about lactation makes me wonder what it is that makes things that eat graze on a simple food sources (i.e. grass) taste preferable to those that have more varied/complex diets. |
|
| |
As for pie, my Granny and Mum both make the most wonderful cottage/shepherds pie, I have yet to stop myself from vicariously bragging about it. And don't (whatever you do) let me get started on apple crumble. |
|
| |
I dunno. Chickens eat bugs and all sorts of things, and they taste pretty good to me. I think this has more to do with early man domesticating the animals that tasted good, and leaving the rest alone. |
|
| |
This is fairly widely known to exist, based on google: edible hats -halfbakery. |
|
| |
Why shouldn't this be MFD/E, just to be fair? |
|
| |
Looking throgh the search criteria that you suggested, I found one genuine instance of a hat that could be eaten, which I had already found in a preliminary search before posting this idea. I had decided that the web-site that you are presumably talking about (link), was considerably more limited than this idea. |
|
| |
"Nacho, nacho man. I want to be a nacho man!" |
|
| |
Well, yeah, and a bunch of other sites that looked good on google, but turn out to be either cakes (unwearable), or refer back to the one site you point out. |
|
| |
To be fair [oc], I suppose you could wear a cake. It just wouldn't be advisable. |
|
| |
//This is fairly widely known to exist// - It is? I think that anything that returns less than ten proper hits on google is pretty esoteric. |
|
| |
Not really widely known. Lord knows i've never heard of it, and I must spend 30 hours a day on the Internets. |
|
| |
I don't know how you come up with //10 proper hits//, but whatever. I hereby retract any fledgling objections I may have been incubating regarding this idea. |
|
| |
Well, I think that the edible hats that show up on google are all food that is prepared to be eaten, but is hat-shaped. This idea, on the other hand, is based on hats that you wear around town (perhaps jauntily, if it suits), that just happen to he edible as well. |
|
| |
Precisely. Google will almost always return something, a proper hit is one that refers to what you intended. There are about 225,000 results for 'Edible hat', less than ten of which refer to a hat that you can wear and eat (ok, I haven't checked them all). There are about 166 results for '"Edible hat"', the first of which brings you right back here. |
|
| |
[shapu], jaunty wearing of an edible hat is recommended, maybe even mandatory. |
|
| |
[longshot], that sounds like a pretty fine idea that I would probably vote for. You should post it. |
|
| |
My edible hat is a secret, so you have no way of knowing whether it is edible or not. In fact you have no way of knowing it exists. These matters are for me alone. |
