Seriously Delicious Holiday Giveaway: Pasta Mancini Collection

Pretty sure there's not a wrong way to eat pasta, but I'll say Mac & Cheese.

Leftovers: The Day's Stray Links

According to the design blog linked to in the previous story, Pizza Hut isn't actually changing their name to "The Hut", it's just part of a small marketing effort.

Alan Richman Names Top 25 Pizzas in the U.S.

The title of this for some reason made me think of Alan Rickman (of Severus Snape fame) reviewing pizzas. An entertaining mental image, to say the least.

What's on Your Easter Menu: Ham or Lamb?

Neither, I'm making a big ol roast Turkey. Traditional for Thanksgiving, perhaps, but there's nothing quite like having a big roast bird when you have people over.

So Good's Meat Madness Brackets

Bacon is overrated, though there are enough fans that I think it'll end up winning the whole thing.

I can't believe crab is only a 6 seed - really? Shrimp, salmon, and tuna above it? I can't picture that logic.

Cook the Book: 'Beyond the Great Wall'

When I was visiting Russia we had great fun counting beards as we travelled. Before we got there we had the stereotype of a full beard, and a big mountain man. Come to find out, the average Russian male was quite thin, and almost always clean shaven.

The only real beard trove we found was the biggest Orthodox seminary in Russia, which on its own tripled our beard count prior to that.

The Hot Dog as 'Perfect Recession Food'

I've also heard they called them "tube steaks" during the depression, to try and make them sound a little more gourmet.

Cook the Book: 'Food Matters: A Guide to Conscious Eating'

I'm eating vegan for Lent, and while Bittman didn't inspire it, he certainly makes a case for why eating less animal products can be better for the earth, and for us.

Weekend Book Giveaway: 'American Cheeses'

A favorite cheese? That's like asking me to pick a favorite son.

But...if I must, I have to go with Tilikum Extra Sharp Cheddar.

Hamburger America: Helvetia Tavern in Hillsboro, Oregon

@Hamburger America - that makes some sense then, I've seen the stuff on burgers around here, I've just never heard that term. Eh, learn something new every day I suppose.

@jmceats - I loved Arctic Circle's Fry Sauce too! I never knew it had buttermilk in it, that must have been the extra somethin-somethin that I always tasted.

Hamburger America: Helvetia Tavern in Hillsboro, Oregon

Odd, I've lived in Oregon my entire life, and never heard the term "Goop" used to refer to a condiment.

Doing a little bit of Googleing about it, it looks like some people use the term to what I'd normally call "fry sauce" - a ketchup and mayo mixture that is quite wonderful to dip fries into.

Gallery of Vintage Soda Cans

Interesting, Pepsi actually redid their logos recently (including Mountain Dew), to quite horrific results:

I don't mind the old school looks, but I'm no way in love with them. (Minus the Mountain Dew is for Hicks look, that's sexy.)

I still would like to know what would happen if you took this breed of pig, and generically altered it to be able to chew cud.

Candy Corn: Anti Stance

Finally, someone speaks the truth, I can't fathom why someone would want to eat the vile stuff.

All the pro candy corn stances on this site as of late have made me want to scream.

Pizza With a Knife & Fork?

I have done this before, with a very sloppy 'za, but it's certainly not my preferred way of ingestion.

Use your hands, man!
