Jenn and I (and also 'dul and Elise, to a lesser extent) just spent some time in a favorite family pastime - Bad Puns! (featuring food)

Elise didn't grasp what we were doing at first, but she managed to come up with a good few... my favorite, her closing of the evening was "There's no whey", which was great. By the end, I'd gone to my mom for help (she's just casting asparagus), and Jenn accused me of asking LiveJournal.

I can prove I didn't - you guys don't have the experience in this sort of thing that my family does. So, I ask you now, after the fact - give me your best shot. If you come up with something nobody in my family has come up with, I'll tell you... and steal your line for the next time we do this.

Please... nothing about peas. We've done those to death and back.

Edit: They don't have to be good puns, either. In fact, as far as I'm concerned, wurst is better. We make a sort of conversation with them, but if we come up with a gouda one, even if it doesn't fit, we just kinda sandwich it in anywhere. It's really souper.

Edit again: And Jenn? Oven if I hadn't asked Mommy for help, I still would've won. I'm just butter at it than you are.

Ah, so I take you've had the esca-pea one then? That's an old family staple of ours ;).

The only problem with food puns is that you can't edam. Other than that, they're grape.

My folks have a little organic garden, and we have signs for almost every section of produce, made by my sister-in-law who lives up the hill on the same property. Mom also LOVES corny (ahem) jokes and puns and makes poetry/songs as often as she can find an occasion for them. Often this extends to food/garden references, and she once made an entire "song" from the garden crop puns.

I shall have to go around and write them all down for you and report back here. Hopefully I'll remember to do that within a day so as to be timely.

The pun-ishment is in aspic able. Keep up the treacle of buns and you will end up in a sticky situation.

My main beef with Government Cheese today is all the pork barrel products. Someone needs to empty the congressional refrigerator, ranging from classic scandals like Richard Nixon's Watercress to Bill Cilantro's fling with MoniCalimari LewinScrapingTheBottomOfTheBarrelHere.

(Incidentally, seen you on so many Friend-of-a-Friend comment lists, I figured I may as well say hi. I'm easy to find and love a witty conversation, chat me up sometime.)
