No, even then I bet it’s pretty cool. Shame the infant probably wasn’t cognizant enough to appreciate it.

I imagine it’s the same choice as veal.

Because the baby was too big for the garbage disposal.

It just goes to typify the convenience society we’ve created, where people can’t even be bothered to prepare and roast them properly.

All of you people are just SICK and TWISTED! :eek:

I would’ve thought that everyone \*\*\*knows, \*\*\*that slow roasting over an open fire, is the _ **best way** _, to cook them! 😃

You know what’s offensive about the jokes? The fact that they’re so easy.

Watch … did she add water to make it’s own gravy?  
… I sure hope she defrosted it first.  
… baby goes well with shallots and Bearnaise.  
… if she’d used the toaster, she’d have had a pop tot.  
I mean, come on, – some sort of food thing and it’s gold, Jerry, gold!

I don’t do smilies, so you’ll just have to imagine me rolling my eyes.

The only question I have is did she garnish with baby carrots?

In case there’s a cross-over thread, may I please be the first one to complain about not wiping down the machines between babies…?

Actually, since another name for human flesh is “long pig”, I would think it would be the same as pork.

Apparently NOT rice:

The bolded joke is funny. Did you make that up? The rest of them I take your point on.

Listen. I don’t do smilies either. I want you to know you are cheating when you say ‘imagine me rolling my eyes’. Are you a level 4 smiley purist like me? Or a wishy washy type that will eventually break down and post a happy smiley to soften a sarcastic joke? Alright then.

Not to mention that dead baby jokes have been around for decades, and microwaved baby jokes since microwaves were first invented. I fear for the future of the SDMB if the best we can muster is warmed over (hah!) truly tasteless jokes ripoffs.
