Cookbook riddle

[debodun]

Why did the publisher reject the manuscript for a vegan cookbook?

 

[norman]

Didn't have any meat to it.

 

[debodun]

You're warm.

 

[Pecos]

He couldn't find the beef.

 

[debodun]

You are so warm!

 

[norman]

there was no meat to the cookbook

 

[norman]

He didn't meat the deadline.

 

[debodun]

You guys are all around it. Pecos is closest so far.

 

[norman]

He couldn't find the vegetables.

 

[debodun]

You're getting colder.

 

[TravelinMan]

They found it was not animated.

 

[Kaila]

The writer would not meet with the publisher,
or would not meet the requirements of the publisher?

 

[TravelinMan]

They found that the author was a coward.

 

[norman]

Because he did not have a backbone.

 

[Kaila]

It's fun to try to guess, and to see others' guesses.


The publisher ate the book instead, since it was a vegan book?

 

[Catlady]

The author had died? (joke, I'm a vegetarian, still alive after 35 years)

The meat was missing?

 

[Pecos]

The publisher had a beef with the book.

 

[Liberty]

Where's the beef ?

 

[Kaila]

Something about the Table of Contents?
Maybe it was missing, or missing sections, or no table for eating, or no "contents" as in joys?

 

[debodun]

Pecos got it on the nose.

 

[Kaila]

Thanks, Deb, that was a fun distraction.
