food is portrayed as a murder weapon in "lamb to the slaughter," as it is used to murder mary maloney's husband. food, on the other hand, is represented in "a tiger in the kitchen" as a source of family reigniting, affection, and togetherness.

the similarities between the two texts are that both stories revolve on food and have at least one character die. the distinction i see is that the food in these various circumstances all reflect and depict a different overall meaning. eating is utilized as a weapon of murder, hunger for blood, and generally a highly macabre and cruel representation of the concept of food in "lamb to the slaughter." food is utilized to express the idea of bonding, homecoming, and generally the love we must all bring forth to our parents and grandparents in "a tiger in the kitchen."

1) In "Lamb to the slaughter", food is depicted as a murder weapon, which is henceforth used to murder Mary Maloney's husband. However, in "A Tiger in the Kitchen", food is depicted as a source of family rekindling, love, and bonding.
2) The similarities between the two texts are the fact that both stories have food as the main purpose of the story, and that they have at least 1 person dying. The difference I notice is that the food, used in these different contexts, all portray and depict a different meaning overall. For example, in "Lamb to the Slaughter", food is used as a weapon of murder, lust for blood, and overall a very morbid and wicked depiction of the subject of food. However, in "A Tiger in the Kitchen", food is used to portray the meaning of bonding, reunion, and overall the love we must all bring out to our parents and grandparents (i don't ;-;).

1. food is being depicted as a murderous weapon in lamb to the slaughter as Mary Maloney the housewife used a frozen hard piece of lamb to strike the back of her husband's head resulting in him dying due to blood loss. However in Tiger in the kitchen, food is symbolized as peace and sort of a welcoming gesture in a sense the food the Tanglin ahma makes is worshipped by the protagonist, especially the pineapple tarts which were clearly the fan-favorite, the pineapple tart ould have definitely not been able to murder someone due to its size and weight as compared to the piece of lamb
2. some similarities that can be pointed out in both stories are that food is the main subject in both stories and it is repetitive to direct the attention of the audience towards it so that they have a mutual understanding of what they should be looking for in the story which is clearly food hence what the story is based around and on. what could be differentiated is that one is used for a good cause and one isn't, ones for killing and the others for eating. Okay, maybe not the food was shown in the tiger In the kitchen to express the grandmother's love for the granddaughter as they would rarely communicate due to the lack of love for the grandmother's culture hence the only way the grandmother could converse to her grandaughter was food. However on the other hand food in the lamb to the slaughter was used for revenge against her husband as he would not really show any affection towards his wife and some other personal reason that was blurted out from the story could be a divorce or maybe the husband cheated or he took a job offer out of the country wanted an abortion for the wife millions of possiblities, etc.
