Campbell soup recipe - comments disabled?

Same feeling - why the heck is Serious Eats trying to "cloak" sponsored links as articles/recipes?? This is Seriously LAME. Most ppl on here would scoff at a recipe that doesn't use real ingredients but is essentially a pimped-out processed food recipe. FINE to advertise, and you guys were doing it in a good way that it wasn't too intrusive. Cloaking Campbell's recipes in the rest of the content dilutes the quality of the content, and makes all the other real articles look cheap. Get your act together.

Have You Ever Had Airline Food You Actually Liked?

Surprisingly, Air Canada has really stepped up its game with airline food - at least on trans-Atlantic flights (I think its sensing growing competition in a dwindling industry) Israeli couscous, beef with peppercorn sauce, ice cream for snack...all excellent! They've started to stray away from going for that lowest-common-denominator taste (which is what kills it) and started using better quality ingredients. Just wrote them a comment email and received 10% discount on my next flight in gratitude ;)

What does it mean to have over 700 people "indicate" they want to be a subscriber?

World's Strangest Fast-Food Items

Maritime provinces in Canada often have an over abundance of lobster that their McDonald's actually sells "McLobster" sandwiches.

I don't know if this is strange, but it sure is fantastic!

Wechsler's Currywurst Bratwurst, a Taste of Berlin in the East Village

I've also heard that the sauce is a mixture of ketchup, worcestershire sauce, with a sprinkle of curry powder on top. The pre-made bottles probably have a bit of worcestershire already, but I am pretty sure that they do not use regular ketchup.

Wechsler's Currywurst Bratwurst, a Taste of Berlin in the East Village

I've recently transplanted to Berlin and am in wurst heaven. One of the best stops in town is Konnope's, which is a nondescript and always crowded sausage stand underneath the U-bahn train tracks...and just down the street!

There are bottles of currywurst ketchup at the supermarket that I haven't tried, but will bring some back on a visit to Canada to try to recreate the experience.

Happy to see New Yorkers can now indulge too....but $6 for a currywurst is ludicrous!! Am spoiled by the 2 euro delicacy.

Grocery Ninja: Tsokolate—Smokey, Nutty, Pinoy Hot Chocolate

the nuttiness always reminded me a bit of a gritty soil while I was growing up...tasting a bit like the Philippines itself

Grocery Ninja: What to Do With Condensed Milk

Iced coffee with condensed milk is served at almost all Vietnamese restaurants and is called Cafe Sua Da. Often times they will bring a tall glass filled with ice and condensed milk at the bottom, and place a small tin on top from which strong, dark coffee percolates into the glass. Mix and enjoy!

Eat for Eight Bucks: Gravy Cheese Oven Fries with Roasted Garlic

Not to be so Canadian about it, but this recipe is more like American cheese fries than a poutine (esp. since it lacks cheese curds - which add to the texture). Actually - the poutine has become a point of Canadian nationalism, as demonstrated in this video here by the CBC (our public broadcaster):

http://archives.cbc.ca/lifestyle/food/topics/1371-8372/

For the best, most authentic poutine, I hope one day you'll be able to make it up to Quebec City, to see what we Canadians love to rave about!
