HOW TO SERVE MAN…AT A DINNER PARTY
Though firmly nested back in Bon Temps for the time being, I’m still determined to keep track of vampire events in all parts of the world. Turns out I didn’t have to look long. The Perspective’s Victoria Davis has just interviewed Top Chef Tom Colicchio, a friend of vampires in his own right, who has now directed his talents towards a dish humans can enjoy while dining alongside guests who prefer Tru Blood.
While I’ve heard it’s delicious, Tom’s recipe also looks a good deal like our synthetic blood substitute- so do be sure to clearly label which is which when hosting dinner parties of mixed company, or your evening may end up much shorter than expected.

It’s not even close to blood..

I agree Raphael, it doesn’t look at all like blood but it’s not supposed to be blood..
It’s supposed to be a solution to humans feeling guilty about eating real food when they’re with vampires. Which is a great thing, because I’m sure one regret for some vampires is not being able to taste real food anymore. I mean come on, it’s delicious.

“To Serve Man is not a cookbook”

I think it’s very considerate to Vampire guests. But its kinda weird.

I agree with Nekovi. It IS kinda weird. I mean, Ok o try it once but…once.
Did she really like that?

It sort of makes sense. as a human, I once followed a super-low-calorie, liquid fasting reducing diet. It was always awkward to spend the dinner ‘hour’ with an 8-oz. glass for me while everyone else tried to act like eating appetizer, entree, salad, etc was comfortable. I felt awkward, watching their food, and they felt awkward watching me pretend that my fasting meal took an hour to eat. Plus for convenience, you can’t beat everyone consuming something approximately equivalent in time and volume.

Oh, and then there’s the pure pleasure of seeing Tom. He’s a doll.

I’m not human and I haven’t eaten “human food” in a few centuries but even for me that seemed less than appetizing but maybe human tastes have changed over the years… Or maybe not…
