I will consider the words VEGAN & SMOOTHIES.
The title of my second generator was composed of those two words.
There are 6 vowels & 8 consonants.
VEGAN
The word 'vegan' appealed to me for a couple reasons: Popularity & some familiarity with
the topic. This was my second generator and I again chose an identifiable, concrete subject.
I didn't know how to arrange the material to create situations, just pairing up objects.
I don't eat a lot of meat/animal based food. I was vegetarian for awhile in high school.
I had no idea about it other than 'don't eat meat,' so when my mother fixed hamburgers,
I just put mustard, catsup, pickles on the bun and ate that. No effort to get protein any
other way.
Since then I have learned more about protein and carbs and fat...etc by reading books.
I even have been to a few cooking classes put on by a local church that a couple of my friends
attend. The recipes were either so basic as to not require explanation or so obscure
that they seemed pointless to me. These were vegetarian recipes.
I was at my friend's house when an acquaintance of hers showed up,
fresh from cooking class. They were going beyond vegetarian that day.
The item of the day was a vegan cake.
"What kind? What flavor?"
"I don't know," said the woman. "I couldn't tell."
The three of us laughed.
I bought vegan cheese and it was edible. Not worthy of the name
'cheese' but probably "nutrient paste" or "edible putty for children" wouldn't attract
a large consumer base. I wrote to the company suggesting that the product be
pitched toward day-care center as a sort of edible play-dough.
They sent me a coupon for free "vegan cheese."
All in all, the idea of a vegan recipe seemed ripe to me as a source of humor.
SMOOTHIES
Generatorland has a prepared list of Liquids, so I figured that would be appropriate
for the vegan recipes. Other choices didn't fit as well.
Baked Goods, or Ancient Weapons, or Birds etc
weren't a good fit because.....they weren't liquid.
Many vegan recipes that I have seen have been wretchedly complex.
Every ingredient was a substitute for something else.
The list of liquids contained items such as lime juice, jet fuel, gasoline, tears, latex paint,
Pine Sol, and chicken broth and so on. I liked the variety of edible &
non-edible materials because that suited my lack of appreciation
for vegan recipes I had encountered.
I am not anti-smoothie. I make smoothies of various types for myself, generally
with sunflower seeds, nutritional yeast, fruit, cashew milk, peanut butter, almond
meal. The idea was to parody the style of recipes in women's magazines.
VEGAN SMOOTHIES
The tone of the results would have been very different if the smoothies
had been made from vegans. Those 'Vegan Smoothies' would be suitable
for cannibalistic carnivores or omnivores.
I would have used the Body Parts List.
This would be repulsive, in the same way that when humans liquefy
grasshopper bodies and distribute the solution over garden plants,
grasshoppers are repelled. Made from vegans the concoction would be
a deterrent for human trespassing.
I'd stay far away from an area that was sluiced with a puree of human carcasses.
