maybe it is that Teodor is a cooking idiot savant: able to make the bestest dishes with little or no effort, but utterly unable to short order cook to save his mother's soul from the grim reach of our evil lord satan?

My guess would be no. After all, in the cookbook he shows us how to make the Flavor Burger, which is basically just short-order food but better. Shit, I can cook a Flavor Burger.

See, I think what's screwing these Micky penis pancakes up is the necessity for full facial features. The pineapple half for a mouth is particularly intimidating and unnerving, in my opinion. It's like a miniature version of the Uncanny Valley effect.


1- i'm pretty sure our evil lord satan is involved in there somewhere with the tormenture of poor, innocent, pure, little phillip.

2- i don't know what "the Uncanny Valley effect is"

3- i do not grok the intimidation of creating full facial features on food.  is it a neurose?  i guess that would explain it, then.

4- "basically just short order food but better" means it's the exact opposite of short order food.  

short order food would be "food, but not as good".

arkabee-put uncanny valley into google and hit the first link. V-Adore, didn't even hear of it until now but that's quite fascinating. I guess it's why *****s are never *too* human-looking.

You can't talk about *#*#*s because of a problem.

And to some up briefly what I mean about the Uncanny Valley and pancakes -- okay, take your sort of rudimentary Mickey penis pancake, the one that's basically a circle (or blob) with two smaller circles (or blobs) stuck to it. Sort of cute, right? It gets cuter the more accurate it gets -- the more circular and less blobular the pancake modules are, if you add little chocolate-chip eyes -- but only up to a point. After a point, the whole thing starts to look a little too close to comfort; it's not Mickey penis, but it's gone from "impressionistic penislike abstract food" to "thing that is almost Mickey penis but NOT QUITE and is thus unnerving." After a certain level of realism, things get creepy. To me, that point is a full facial-expression suite, complete with leering pineapple-half-circle mouth.

Your mileage and degree of discomfort with anthropomorphic food may vary.
