SC - OT - Omaha Steaks anomaly

[Alderton, Philippa]

I don't know, Adamantius. I just got one when I bought a magazine; I was
thinking they might grow on trees. Looking at one of my biology books under
parasites, however, I noticed that they fit some of the criteria (by
elimination) for fungi- neither animate nor chlorophyl-producing, no
obvious reproduction method, no known symbiotic function, etc. I'd suggest
cooking one up and feeding it to a member of AOL Corporation, to see if
they're edible fungi, but not only do beasts of that sort eat things not
digestible by humans, but I think they're OOP- unless anybody on the list
has a period recipe using similar ingredients we might try? THAT would make
an interesting redaction! Cariadoc, anything in your Miscelleny? Or Stefan,
your Florigellium?

: I've just received a box of what appears to be Omaha Steaks. Probably
: shell steaks, to be exact. My brother-in-law sends them every year. What
: can I say?
: 
: Anyway, I am, even as I write, now in the process of opening the
: package. It is here. Nestled in amongst the papers and the pack of dry
: ice. First the cover letter. Then the catalogue and order form. Then the
: little recipe book.
: 
: Ah...there it is. Under the recipe book, on top of the dry ice pack.
: Hermetically sealed in vapor-proof plastic. The ubiquitous AOL disk.
: 
: My question is this: are they a product of genetic engineering in the
: beef industry? Do they just grow in the cows with the AOL disks built
: in?
: 
: Any insights on this? I'm really perplexed.
