Funerals are a time for remembrance, reflection and contemplation
They are also a time for stuffing your face whilst the going is good.

Bravo for me - I'm first!
What were you eating? It looks like you're about to blow chunks!
It does look like you are either choking and in some serious need of help....or you are about to spew chunks of chewed up food on everybody.
Nice suit by the way!
Is that a sandwich with the crusts cut off? Damnit Tickers, you're classier than I gave you credit for.
Is that a rental jacket? Don't get any stains on it or you won't get your deposit back.
*someone* bit off more than they can chew...
Yum. Worth wearing the black tie for.
Here in the southern US, funeral food is a huge social imperitive, and there's a list longer than your arm of etiquette rules for such. There's no such thing as too much butter or too fattening when it comes to funeral food. Oh, and you must have deviled eggs.
You look nice all cleaned up, even mid-chew.
Yeah, Tickers cleans up good.
Phlegmfatale: Have you read "Being Dead Is No Excuse: The Official Southern Ladies Guide to Hosting the Perfect Funeral?" It discusses how to throw the perfect southern funeral and includes recipes.
IDV- Sorry it's just an illusion.
Fewclewz- spot on, it was Dereks funeral, and yes, cousin Janet did us proud. Kay was still suffering from the throught problem so whilst I was having this pic taken Kay was barfing up into a doggy bag. ( she said I could blog this)
Xtasy- Thank you for the comments about the suit. I bought it for Fabiennes funeral.
Fuckkit- A classy women who knows instinktively what's right.
MJ- I don't have many concessions to protocol, but the suit, I bought for the love of my life.
Jungle Jane- I can always fit in another mouthfull if I want to.
Quenny- Thank you Quenny, a greedy bastard like myself. Much appreciated.
Plegmfatal- Why, thank you. We've all heard of the famous southern hospitality.
MJ- I'm in awe.
I'm in awe that you're up at 3 in the morning.
So am I, I didn't realise I'd replied!
Nice spread there tickers, and the food doesn't look bad either.
Fascinated by the American funeral food stuff - someone please do a post on it!
Frobi: I'll email Phlegmfatale about doing a southern U.S. funeral post. I think she's the one for the job.
I'll be happy to. Do y'all want me to phone it in to tickers or put it on my blog?
Oh, and as a condolences well-wish present at the loss of my granny a year ago, a girlfriend gave me that book, mj, knowing it was so humourous, spot-on and well-written that it would make me feel better. It's good stuff. The Sweet Potato Queens also have lots of tips and recipes on funeral food, as well.
Does anyone know how to perform the heimlich manoeuver?
Phlegmfatale: Why don't you do the posting on your blog and let us know when it's up? Then we'll head over there. After we've read Tickers blog in its entirety, of course. Unless Tickers would like to take dictation and post it on his blog. It's up to him, really.
I know of the Sweet Potato Queens too. You've gotta love anyone who cooks with as much sweetened condensed milk as they do.
I am going to funerals in the wrong part of the town/state/world.
Every now and then you can catch a GOOD OLE cajun spread-but usually...
It sounds to me like it's only polite at a 'Southern' funeral, for all the guests to die of a heart attack in sympathy.
Grease eases the grief.
amen, mj! Indeed, tickers - heart-attack-on-a-plate is a celebration of life, dammit. I'll let y'all know when the funeral food thingie is up - maybe a week or so...
Oh, and in your post-funeral-feed photo tickers, I noticed your tie is a bit loosened - was that to better facilitate the slide of great wodges of food down your gullet? Still cute, though.
If that shirt was black you would be invisible, then you could eat as much as you want unnoticed!
Buffets are my favourite type of meals because of the limitless food! Did you hang around for the leftovers? Or eat it all at the begining?
I say briefly: Best! Useful information. Good job guys.
