Happy Halloween, buckos

have you ever just eaten a lump of brown sugar and instantly felt yourself transported back to the 1840s and your papa has just returned from town and he brought you and your nine siblings a brown paper bag tied with twine full of hardened lumps of brown sugar that he got by trading 3 ears of corn because i have

im so perplexed by this post every time I see it because who just eats brown sugar and why do so many people find this relatable

I left some updated candy slogans at the grocery store

Why do witches like always wanna fatten kids up before they eat them?? fat is like the grossest part of meat

“Why hello there, little children~. Please follow me to my magical… FITNESS ROOM. NO P A N S I E S ALLOWED BEYOND THIS POINT. LEAVE YOUR WHINING AT THE DOOR BECAUSE IT’S LEG DAY AND WE’RE ABOUT TO GET R-R-R-RIPPE D.”

Because they’re always cooking said kids in cauldrons and ovens - aka long cooking times at lowish heat. If you do that to fatty meat, the fat melts completely and the meat gets tear-it-apart-with-a-fork soft. If you do it to lean meat, you get tiny little sad meat bits that bring no joy to anyone.

well you did ask

Also there’s wisdom in fattening them up on sweets and other carbs. A meatless, carb-rich diet makes for more tender and flavourful meat.

you are arguing over the semantics of EATING CHILDREN

Well yeah, you gotta get this shit right or it’s a waste of 40-80 lbs of meat.

plus if you feed them a high fat, low nutrition diet, they’re easier to subdue and less likely to run away, which would be a concern for an elderly crone.

Thank you, Old Witch With Candy House side of tumblr.

If someone asks me what tumblr is all about, I’ll just show them this post

i hate elitist expensive classy food culture

In all seriousness this is what I’m talking about whenever I go off on how the rich can’t even spend their fucking money. Do you honestly think these fuckers are getting that much enjoyment out of these goddamn gummy bears compared to regular store-bought one? No, they get enjoyment out of the CONCEPT of them, out of the thrill of conspicuous consumption in the face of people who actually have to work for a living, or who, god forbid, don’t even have the opportunity. So they’ll buy seven houses when you would be hard-pressed to justify them owning two, and they’ll buy huge-ass limousines and designer clothes just to look a tiny bit cooler (as if any real fan of a celebrity gives a fuck about the label they’re wearing rather than the content they put out, or the persona they have, or even the way the outfit actually LOOKS), and they’ll pay out the ass for ludicrously expensive ingredients placed in such ludicrously tiny portions that they can barely fucking taste them. I don’t understand it even slightly. I can barely imagine what I’d do with $150,000 a year, much less millions. And I’m not even like a “simple pleasures” fanatic – sure, I get the appeal of a second house! I get the appeal of regular vacations! I get the appeal of eating steak five nights a week, drinking expensive champagne! But wealth disparity has become so fucking absurd in this country and on this planet that those quasi-reasonable luxuries aren’t enough, so they have to make up bullshit that can’t possibly even be enjoyable in its own right just so they can feel good about having money. It’s disgusting. Eat the rich.

i love when people want to decide what others do with their money its hilarious

like none of you wouldn’t go for all this shit, just because you could

I’ll be straight up honest I agree with that comment. There’s no reason to put gold in your food other than to flaunt that you are rich enough that you can. It’s garbage and terrible, and no, I wouldn’t “go for it just because I could.”

Edit: Also, they didn’t “want to decide what others do with their money” they were criticizing what others do with it. There’s nothing wrong with that.

To be fair, gold leaf and gold dusts suitable for human consumption are cheap, and are beautiful for adding to the presentation of certain things, such as chocolate cakes, without necessarily causing the price to sky rocket. It’s unnecessary, but so are icing roses and all that other stuff.

The wine is the most expensive aspect of this venture.

Idk about you but it definitely doesn’t look appetizing in this case, leading me to believe it is the idea of “eating gold” here rather than the presentation.  Otherwise you’re right
