Serious Eats
'Eat My Pork, Feel My Fork'
Aping the tagline of a television commercial, a woman in Hull, England, stabbed her partner after he nicked some of her leftover pork chops from the fridge:
Prosecutor Michael Wrigglesworth said: "At this point she went mad. She grabbed him by the neck. She went out of the living room and came back. She said the words, 'Eat my food, feel my fork,' which they both accepted was a reference to the Quorn advert. She then stabbed him with the knife."
Tracy Wenn pleaded guilty to the attack, which she says was simply a case of drunken shenanigans gone horribly awry, and was given a nine-month suspended sentence.
Here's the commercial that inspired the madness:
Though it's not exactly what the commercial or Wenn uttered, I think "Touch my pork, feel my fork" is destined to become a new catchphrase at the Serious Eats office. [via Anil Dash]
