I’ve been made aware of so much perversion in our fallen world, so much that is sick and twisted, that I thought nothing else could shock me.
Then someone goes and puts broccoli in a cupcake.
I don’t think I know any culinary sociopaths, but just in case I’ll say this: If you give me a cupcake and I bite into it expecting some moist devil’s food or some tangy creme filling and instead get a mouthful of broccoli—then we are no longer friends. I’m serious. You don’t do that to people you care about. You just don’t.
(Note: Please don’t show this graphic and disturbing image to children. What is once seen can never be unseen.)

Joe, there is one thing, and only one thing worse than this:if you bite into a cupcake and find cauliflower inside!

If this doesn’t prove that we’re at war with evil forces, than I don’t know what will. The apostles faced hard times, but none as grave as what I’m seeing now.
On a more serious note, YUCK!

Broccoli Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil, baby. Show this as a visual aid to the Sunday school class studying Genesis and the kids will instantly know what something you should never, ever eat of looks like.

Hmmmm. Broccoli… To the kitchen! We’ve got baking to do!

Think of the children!

First they came for my Twinkies, and I did not speak out.

It actually looks like a corn bread muffin. Add some cheese in the mix and it might be good.. Just a thought.

When I saw the picture my first thought was of pictures of adulterated foods one sometimes sees in reports of lawsuits against fast food restaurants. You know, a fried mouse in the french fries, etc.
As an attorney, I would caution anyone who would pull a stunt like this to consider legal liability issues further. If you get sued for serving adulterated cupcakes and you look up and see Joe Carter on the jury and he has this expression on his face:

I advise you to settle.

I agree with Katie—it looks like a cornbread muffin. If it is, it would be tasty.
If it isn’t, it is a grievous sin.

Katie Gibson It actually looks like a corn bread muffin. Add some cheese in the mix and it might be good.
It’s not cornbread (which requires cornmeal). Listed below are the ingredients. I post this for education purposes only and am not responsible for how it might be used. (This is the sort of stuff you’d find in The Anarchist Cookbook, along with how to make bombs out of fertilizer.)
12 trimmed broccoli florets (each one should fit into a muffin cup with room to spare)
275g (1 cup and 2.5 tbsp) butter, softened
50g (1/4 cup) sugar
4 large eggs, at room temperature
300g (1 1/4 cup) flour
1 tsp. baking powder
1 tsp. turmeric
1/2 tsp. cayenne pepper
1/2 tsp. salt
60g (full 1/4 cup) strong cheddar cheese, grated

What kind of animal would do that to a vegetable?

A friend of mine once brought “peanut butter balls” to a Bible study. Delicious looking little round, chocolate-covered temptations, arranged neatly on an attractive platter.
They were actually Brussels sprouts in disguise.
Granted, it was meant as a prank. But still…THE HORROR. THE HORROR.

Whoa…what’s wrong with me if I actually think it looks good? Pray for me, all. It’s a sure sign of demonic possession.
October 7th, 2010 | 1:41 pm
what have they done to my broccoli???!!!
My God, these cooks “are filled with all manner of wickedness, evil, covetousness, malice.”
Brothers (of course I embrace the sisters too) The devil is real! in case someone denies it, just show him the effect!

My mother once served us beef stew cooked with turnips instead of potatoes, thinking we kids wouldn’t know the difference. Hah! Any child’s immature palate can tell the difference between a tuber and a vegetable. It was child abuse, pure and simple, and we threw such a fit that she never did it again. Well, except for the peas baked into pancakes fiasco… Something about the Fall created this devious compulsion in mothers to find ways to slip vegetables past their children’s defenses.

It is not a cornbread muffin, but it is a savory muffin – note the low sugar content and the strong cheddar cheese. This is not a cupcake, people, not a cupcake.
@Steve, I will pray for you, but at this point I am not willing to attribute your desire for the muffin to demonic possession or disordered will. It might just be a natural and properly ordered desire.

This whole thing started when people began putting canned corn in corn muffins.They should have never done that.
Vegetables in jello (congealed salads) are another matter, however. Way back in my youth, in the casserole era, I was occasionally served opaque pink jello (made with beats) and opaque green jello (made with English peas, walnuts and celery). The vegetables were not covert, and so no trust was broken.

I once ate a parsnip (my first and last) after being told it was a French fry. That’s what it looked like and my devious relatives took advantage of my naivete to lure me into trying one. Didn’t work…and a child’s trust is so hard to regain.
October 7th, 2010 | 2:55 pm
Yeah, this is a muffin, not a cupcake. A muffin of this kind is just kind of weird; a cupcake would be a crime.
October 7th, 2010 | 3:22 pm
Oops. I meant to say that the pink jello was made with beets, not beats. Of course, there might have been beats, too–perhaps a light foxtrot.
And I agree with pentamom that muffins are a no man’s land–between sweets and health food.
October 7th, 2010 | 8:08 pm
At least it was a floret of broccoli. What if it had been a slice of okra? Instant doom.
October 8th, 2010 | 8:46 pm
Um, sorry, that’s not a cupcake. That’s a cornbread muffin. Not a cupcake, dude.

I agree with Charles’s mom. It’s called “Creative Cooking 101″ Except for peas in pancakes. That does take the “Cake”

I’m not sure why–I don’t exactly know how–but I blame Obama.

it’s all bush’s fault.
