Feed Us Back: Comments of the Week

– Reading about World Cup food is clearly a better way to waste your work day then trying to make ESPN’s shitty live feed function. Regarding our list, FrenchTwistDC makes a fair enough point:

England should NEVER come as number one on any ranking that involves food ;-)

Further antagonizing the Brit contingent, Ben dares to go there:

So as a Yank, I had to figure out what the heck went on top of Chip Butty…turns out its either ketchup or brown sauce.
It’s super uncouth, but, liking neither of those toppings, a super American variation might be to add Cheese Whiz to it…cheese friends on bread…yum

Our Britannia calls it sacrilege but as a fellow Yank I say, why not? Philly Butty, anyone?

Feed Us Back: Comments of the Week

balls

– Another straw-lover comes out of the closet every day. Steezy:

I am a straw-aholic. I want a straw with everything – water, milk, soda, tea, etc. I fully support your straw love. I also always drink through the stirrer. If they don’t want me to drink through it they shouldn’t have made it hollow.

Amen!

– ES commenters will make sure you never eat nasty coleslaw again — PlethoraOfPinatas offers up a slew of Silver Diner alternatives for all you NoVa eaters. Seems like we’ve hit a nerve here, eh? Know other great places to escape the chains in Va? Holla back.

– And 2009’s Eater of the Year contest is shaping up to be a nail-biter, with This is Why You’re Fat leading Michelle Obama by just a few votes (first time that has ever been written?), but all contenders are still very much in the game. Although JoeHoya has some harsh words for the currently last-place nominee:

Sorry, “Flexitarians.” You’re still just eaters in my book. Choosing what you eat and when you eat it (regardless of the reasons why) doesn’t make you special – it just makes you picky.

And Laura Senkevitch sides with TIWYF:

I really want to give it to Michelle, but Rueben balls (above) won me over.

Agree? Disagree? Cast your vote!

Snack Attack

snickers-nougatory-small1

A couple months back, I challenged food/word lovers everywhere to boycott Snickers over their asinine and very lazy pun campaign. (Vacation in Feedgypt?!? Come on!) The team over at Olde English had a better idea: these parody ads, which are much, much funnier.

Check out the rest at Olde English.

Cheflebrity Smörgåsbord: Unfathomable Sadness

tacobell1

Friends. There will be no Smörgåsbord today. I just can’t be frivolous on the day that we lost Gidget, who played — nay, embodied — the Taco Bell Chihuahua in print and on film.  Raise your chalupas high, Endless Simmer Nation, in a salute to this legend of fast food marketing.

Feel free to relive the joy and laughter that Gidget brought us by vising the Taco Bell Chihuahua Wikipedia page or by watching some guy blow the shit out of a stuffed animal version of the dog with a firecracker.

I think I can safely say that this is how Gidget would have wanted to be remembered:  Being slowly consumed by flames and then exploding in a large fireball.

What the Food?

scoopcombined

ES reader Tommy writes in with a request:

I found the following “Scoop” in an old farmhouse kitchen. Obviously some kind of kitchen gadget, I can’t find anyone who knows what it is. One person suggested it is a soft boiled egg scoop. Can you or your bloggers help identify it?

Does the fact that I have no idea what it does, but feel an urgent need to own one mean that I have a problem? So, what say you, ES experts? How should Tommy use this ancient gadget?

Making Peace With Cupcakes

Dear Cupcakes,

Yes, I’ve said some mean things about you in the past, but how can I stay mad at you when I see something like this?  Sesame Street makes everything better.  Bonus points for adorable use of the cookies.

Love,
TVFF

Found at The Coventry Deli in Philadelphia.
