10th Anniversary celebration - And what's a celebration without snacks!

[icon_uk]

From 1981 (and reprinted for the Warner Bros Stores in the 1990's) I bring you...



ISBN1563891417 for those interested.


Sometimes I just think the Batcave us just too BIG for two people...



This was the real start of the breakup of the Dynamic Duo, one day it's keeping Salad Dressing secrets, the next day Robin's involved with an alien supermodel who is WAY hotter than Talia ever has been!



"And don't eat the toothpicks!" Wise words from Perry, but a little worrying he felt the need to WARN Jimmy about something so obvious, I sense a sad untold story somewhere in their mutual pasts....



Yah.... I got nothin'.... This one pretty much transcends sarcasm....



What a dick Green Arrow is, taunting her like that!

And as for THIS one...



Oh yeah, THIS is going to end well. I approve of the short kid with the watermelon at the back, that's a healthy margin of error he's allowed for himself. The tallish one at the front with the apple I'm less confident about; one eyebrow twitch at the wrong time, and it's fruit and eyeball kebab treats!

But wait, these two heroes feature again... and again... and really don't come out of it well.. I mean to say..



From Amazonian Ambassador to corporate shill... Next thing you know she'll be flogging snake oil "Fresh from Medusa's head-snakes"



I assume she's been taking lessons in punning from Robin... never a wise move.



There's a really bad "Riding Batman's coat-tails" joke I could make here, but I just can't phrase it properly.

And this one is just plain weird...



... it was at this precise moment that Batman sadly admitted to himself that Jim Gordon really had lost his marbles and should retire to Arkham.



So Hal's contribution to the party is going to be alien foot-fungus droppings... Charming!

I hope you enjoyed this little foray into Caped Cuisine! There are so many more weird images I could share, but such is life!

And finally, well.. this just HAD to be included or there would be no justice.

I owned this as a little kid and loved it. I have no idea what happened to it over the years. Maybe it's mixed in with my mom's massive collection of cook books, but I wish they'd reprint it AGAIN. I still remember making Superman's cake. It wasn't half bad.

The Official DC Comics Superhero Cookbook

I think they did re-print it!

...Okay, Commissioner Gordon, Jim, can I call you Jim? A few things:

1)Frying vegetables (Which is what I assume he's talking about, since we have a cauliflower and a Zucchini he's talking to), pretty much kills any nutritional value it may have. Because you SUBMERGING IT IN OIL. Its not going to be healthy.

2): Also, frying vegetables also radically alters the taste, so even if they like Fried Cauliflower of Zucchini, that doesn't mean they're going to like normal Cauliflower of Zucchini.

3) I don;t know what kind of morons you hang out with, but I don't think anyone is going to mistake fried Cauliflower for anything but fried Cauliflower.

4) Fried vegetables aren't very good. I admit I've never had fried Zucchini, but I have had fried Cauliflower, and fried mushrooms. Don't much care for either, I can usually only push through it if I have some good dipping sauce handy. And to be honest, given the choice of what to eat with ranch sauce? I'd pick normal vegetables over the fried stuff.

Stir fried vegetables are delicious and relatively healthy since that method uses significantly less oil if done properly.

I prefer mushrooms sauted in their own juice, but fried is also fine.

[crinos]

Yeah, stir fried, but those are normal battered fry, same as they do at cut rate pizza places. About as healthy as eating a stick of butter (and if you're lucky just as tasty).

[philippos42]

I'm a big believer in steaming cabbage, cauliflower, and broccoli, but I grew up with fried zucchini, and I love it. Don't batter it, just bread it in a little cornmeal and fry in the oil of your choice.

Some vegetables not only taste better (subjectively) cooked, but may be more nutritious, because cooking breaks down harder-to-digest polymers? I don't know a lot about that, but that's what I understand to be the case.

Re: No 4.

Actually, both Japanese and Indian cuisine do glorious things with fried vegetables.

Also, I'd like to see the science behind your claim that there's zero nutritional value in a fried vegetable. Yes, obviously you raise the fat and caloric content in the process, but it doesn't automatically follow that all the nutrients, fiber, et al in the vegetables go "poof!" and are never seen again.

Re: 4. Fried eggplant is amazing.

[richardak]

Actually, deep-frying, when done properly, should leave little oil in or on the vegetable. If the oil is hot enough when when the vegetable is submerged, and if you do not submerge more than the right amount of vegetables at a time, than the water inside the vegetable will start boiling instantly. That boiling water will produce sufficient vapor pressure to keep the oil away from the vegetable. The key is to use enough oil, keep the oil hot enough, not to put too many vegetables in at once, and to remove the vegetables from the oil in time.

Imagine--a soda pop with no sugar and no chemicals at all.

Yes, because there's no sugar at all in fruit juice. And it's not like water is a chemical! Don't they teach chemistry in Themyscira?

[icon_uk]

Invisible planes don't run cheap you know!

[skemono]

...and therefore there's no sugar in fruits?

[icon_uk]

No, it's just she needs to make money somehow and if that involves... tarnishing the lasso of truth when it comes to flogging her fruit juice product, well, so be it!

I do agree with your general point, but remember that even in the real world, people talk about "natural" as if it automatically meant healthy (forgetting that deadly nightshade is natural) and "organic vegetables", which even the first time I heard the term as a young icon_uk made me just say out loud "As opposed to INorganic vegetables?", if you mean "pesticide free" SAY "pesticide free" I say!

[skemono]

remember that even in the real world, people talk about "natural" as if it automatically meant healthy

I know. That's why it set me off to see it in the scans.

Also: I think Grodd might be running out of ideas if he's doing Banana missiles.

[icon_uk]

Hey, just because he's a psionic genius gorilla doesn't mean he doesn't get hungry, and a cliché becomes a cliché for a reason!

[crinos]

Well, there IS more than one way to peel a banana....

[masterdick161]

Banana in the Batman.... haha

[junipepper]

It's a slightly scary coincidence that I was actually sitting here drinking Wonder Woman's Paradise Pop as I pulled this up. Well, I didn't use frozen concentrate but still, it's odd.
