Kill da wabbit?

Easter in Slovenia involves two losing propositions, either 1) eating the ten kilos of ham that your host has optimistically calculated you will eat, or 2) Not eating an entire mountain of meat. The first involves you stuffing yourself to the point where your esophagus is completely airtight. You only stop eating because it’s physically impossible to continue. But even then your host will ask to take “one more piece” because he was cooking all morning and maybe if you push hard enough you can stuff it in somehow.

The second proposition — to refuse to eat meat, as suggested by the country’s one and only vegan: the President — is the equivalent of saying to your host: “Fuck you and your family and fuck Easter.”

In short, it’s a lose-lose situation and this year, unsurprisingly, I lost again.

Happy Easter!
