How the f**k is this a ‘cake’? ask dietersThe Daily Mash
People on diets are wondering how flattened pieces of shrivelled matter can possibly be called ‘cakes’.
Joanna Kramer, from Hatfield, said: “They should be called ‘sad rice’ or ‘bio-degradable non-food discs’. I do not appreciate being deceived in this way.”
Tom Logan, from Peterborough, added: “Granted, we also have urinal cakes, cakes of soap and yellow-cake uranium. They all taste better than rice cakes.”
Nutritionist Jane Thompson explained: “Rice ‘cakes’ were placed in British supermarkets as a hoax, but an industry grew up after they were bought by the sort of people who pretend to like awful food.
“Since then, they have found a home with other people who think bad-tasting things must be good for you.
“They are not cakes.”
Of course.
Here's an appropriate number...
I actually snack on rice cakes, but of course Im adding a nice thickly sliced some kind of cheese on it.
ReplyDeleteAnd I adore the number.
I'd eat cheese on something more flavoursome, like a Krackawheat, personally. I agree with the Mash; to me, rice cakes remind me of raffia place-mats, and are probably just as nutritious. Jx
DeleteThere was a case, years ago, of a "drifter" whose stomach was found to contain "about a spoonful" of some sort of processed cereal and what appeared to be the cardboard packet in came in.
ReplyDeleteHaving been served rice cakes once I think I'd opt for cardboard...
Probably the better option, I'd say. Jx
DeleteI think I will stick with proper cake thank you very much.
ReplyDeleteI do love a bit of cake
