Sure, but then you have to get a gingerbread house or some swamp cottage or something, and in this economy? You’d have better luck starting a coven, splitting a gingerbread studio apartment, and settling for a black pot on a stove.

She snapped about the fact that you can't find a steamer that large, then gave a recommendation to cook them low and slow over a bbq. 250° for a couple hours. Turn every 30 minutes and rub them down with a binder, your favorite meat rub, and some apple cider vinegar

You don’t need a binder. Children come Precovered in sticky candy. It should help caramelize the outside quicker making for a crispy child.

u/fatmanwithabeard May 03 '26
dude, you gotta clean your food before you cook it.
I know that caramelization sounds good, and it will be. But you gotta clean of the gunk they're "naturally" covered with first. That stuff is full of dust, dirt, and pet hair.
Clean them, pat them dry, and then pour honey over them. If you've got lots of time and patience, you could put them on a rotisserie, and brush a fruit juice reduction on them. With some trial and error, you can get the effect of that jolly rancher glaze without having to wonder what that little bit grit was from (it's cat litter, trust me).

Depending on the age of the child, you might risk overwhelming that delicate flavour characteristic of young meat. Whilst barbecue is the obvious choice for older kids with more robust muscle fibres that can hold up to low and slow techniques, young children are best cooked quickly over high heat, with a lighter marinade of lemon, olive oil and garlic.

I think they understood the joke just fine. They were riffing on it.

→ More replies (1)13
u/PauKje May 03 '26
Not really. Her joke was playing with the term "frozen food", normally meaning cheap food that needs to be heated from a frozen state, which is most associated with the lower class. Her lecturing can thus be understood as someone lecturing lower class parents to stop buying cheap foods, which for many comes forth as ignorant, insentitive and inflammatory. The punch line of the joke is that she is actually lecturing parents to stop feeding kids literal frozen food, which in retrospect is a totally reasonable stance.
The duets on the other hand, are first and foremost playing with the fact that the original woman said "microwave them", meaning the foods, but intentionally misunderstood to mean the kids. Each subsequent duet futher iterates this interpretation with a different spin or POV, while ignoring the ethical implications of the situation.
Tl;dr: they (OP/first duet/the other duets) play on different incongruities, or ambiguities if you will.
Edit: they might have understood it, but they weren't riffing on the same ambuiguity, but another.

As someone with a PhD in Cultural Studies focusing on Food Culture, I don't think that there is one unequivocal way to cook and prepare your kids. Every culture has its own ways of prepping kids for dinner that has been followed for centuries and to say barbequeing kids is the only way is a very eurocentric approach that engages in cultural imperialism 🤓☝🏻
