[Sca-cooks] "Bad" language (was: OP - roast beef accompaniment)

[Ian Kusz]

Then I want some scampi scampi.

Outdoors.  At an event.  Call it, "Campy scampi scampi."

Of course, we can feed it to the kids....if we can catch them.  "Scampering
campy scampi scampi."

Good thing I brought the RV.  "Camper scampering campy scampi scampi."

The dish won great praise at a recent event, I hear. "Clamor for the camper
scampering campy scampi scampi."

Of course, there were some complaints about the noise...."Candor about the
clamor for the camper scampering campy scampi scampi."

I also bought a meatpress, which we used to turn the leftovers into seafood
cakes:  "Clamper of camper scampering campy scampi scampi."

Would you like a sample of the ample clamped camper scampering campy scampi
scampi?  They're in my camper canopy.
