    I was with them until this part:

    while in the Balkan peninsula a small bread image of the deceased is made and eaten by the survivors of the family.

    That crosses over into ‘what the fuck is wrong with you people’ territory.

      I dunno, adding gingerbread yous as a party favor to your funeral sounds absolutely fantastic. Every funeral I’ve been to would have been improved by gingerbread people of whoever died.

        I was thinking more “Dave’s face made out of bread” than “gingerbread Dave.” I guess the latter doesn’t seem bad.

          Like a photorealistic bread mould. Of a screaming face.

              I’d eat that up for sure, especially if it’s like a glazed donut.

              Oh man there’s a business idea for someone. Horrific pastries. Imagine biting into a glazed realistic colon filled with elderberry jam. A liver with lemon filling. And many various body parts filled with something red like strawberry or cherry.

        The first doesn’t give me pause because it’s pretty engrained into virtually all of Western society. The second… well that’s sort of the whole point of Catholic communion, isn’t it?
