Colour codes in food and other things
October 16, 2006
It’s perfectly intuitive. Some examples of colour coding in food, packaging and branding:
- Red - beef, raw meat, animal protein, amonia
- Blue - dairy, raw fish, methelated spirits
- Green - vegetables and fruit
- Yellow - poultry, bleach
- Pink - pork, gay
Vegetable distinctions:
- Green - vegetables
- Plum - fruit
Dairy distinctions:
- Royal blue - whole milk, full-fat milk
- Cerulem blue, light blue - half-fat milk
- White with blue: non-fat milk
- Green - yoghurt, full-fat yoghurt
- Light green - yoghurt from goat or sheep milk and half-fat yoghurt from cow milk
- Red - buttermilk
- Lavender - cultured milk, lesbian

Make yer own dang
weed butter
The fresher the better, but this ball of dried leaf, brought home from the friends’ Friesche farm, will do just fine. Remerçi, Madame!
Of course you can substitute any old weed in this weed butter recipe, but I’m old fashioned and just like to use weed. The culinary reasoning behind making butter is that it is more neutral in flavour than filling your fine cooking with loads of bulky chaw. You can use weed butter exactly as you would butter, substituting it in all recipes that you deem appropriate. Be good and make sure that everyone tasting your weed cuisine is acutely aware of what they’re about to ingest. If you make an alternative dish without the weed butter, make sure it looks completely different so that people don’t inadvertently confuse the two. Don’t mix this butter with the drinking of alcohol, or the driving of cars.
It’s good practice to know the strength of the butter before offering it in food to others. You’re going to have to test this on yourself first and then use your own best judgement in deciding whether you need to cut it with plain butter in your cooking. Remember that ingested THC is long lasting - up to eight hours. Take it easy and remember that you’re not an eleven year old boy. (Please read more… )
