Sweet, merciful Spaghetti Monster! I think I just had a food-gasm. I can't help but think how wonderful a side of Montreal Poutine would be with that ...

Rib steak or porterhouse.

And now I want a breakfast steak ...

I have 3 cats (Raise your hand if you're a Crazy Cat Lady! *waves it madly*) who, for the most part are very polite and well behaved. That is, until any form of Asian food comes into the house. My boys, Hyde & Zeke, go utterly nuts for Asian food. Zeke is the mastermind, Hyde, the muscle. Between the two of them they'll finish off a pile of chow mein, or a bowl of Thai coconut shrimp soup. Zeke once snuck onto the back of the couch while I was eating stir-fry and reached out and slapped a shrimp right off my fork. Ninja kitty.

My cat Teeka is a Sphynx (hairless) and eats more than normal cats to maintain body heat. She dislikes most usual favourites (chicken, shrimp, beef)) but goes nuts of processed sandwich meats, spicy meatloaf and any type of cheese.

Oh dear god. I lived in Lahr (Schwartzwald) from the age of 16 to 22 and it was the most amazing time of my life. Aside from the fact I gained several thousand pounds from eating my way across the country (and most of Europe).

Enjoy your stay, try all the regional specialties you can - even if you don't know exactly what you're eating!

I miss the simple things ... curry wurst, jager schnitzel, gluhwine, bratwurst on a brochen ... heaven!

Me and my "palate of a 5 year old" will give it a try. I'm not a food-snob and find it amusing to try to new offerings from fast food joints once in awhile. It's fun and doesn't mean it's becoming my new primary food-source.

Good thing I'm Canadian - wouldn't want to be accused of being part of the American problem ....

I shall sacrifice my time to volunteer to "interview" all applicants and see how they look in jeans and leather chaps ... I'm selfless like that.

There's just something so good about cold/room-temp leftover pizza. I purposely order too much pizza just so that i can have a couple of leftover slices the next morning.

I've tried reheating it, but the texture and flavour is way off. Fresh and hot is delicious, but for leftover pizza it has to be room temp or cold.

... just wondering how many guys were reading this and wincing ...

Katrina - I'm in ottawa too, and really miss the "Bloomin' Onion' truck that use to be parked in the Byward market. Aside from the BLoomin' Onion, they had the best hand cut fries.

There's also the little truck on Bank street that sells all the usuals (fries, hot dogs, poutine ...) as well as some great egg rolls, spring rolls and polish sausage onna bun! What a mix.

I'm going to learn to make sushi. It seems like it'd be fun to do with my group of gf's during one of our monthly potluck. :)

Well. That'll go a long way to helping me stick to my diet today. I don't think I've ever been less hungry in my life.

I'd be willing to eat frog - just not after watching it be killed and then dealing with it's jigging zombie-corpse.

Dear god. That was the best Food Porn article EVER. I need a cigarette - and I don't even smoke.
