i'm telling y'all RIGHT NOW


chuck would NEVER go for THIS SHITE!!!


Scientists 'grow' meat in laboratory

By Nick Britten

Researchers in the Netherlands have created what was described as soggy pork and are now investigating ways to improve the muscle tissue in the hope that people will one day want to eat it.

No one has yet tasted the product, but it is believed the artificial meat could be on sale within five years..........

hey chuck, i didn't know this


and even though i am vegan, i use a TON o' liquid smoke. i never knew what the hell it actually WAS though. this is rather good news!
The Secret of Liquid Smoke

The secret: It's not the creepy chemical additive you thought. A couple of weekends ago, I caught an episode of the public radio show "The Splendid Table" with soothingly voiced chef Lynne Rossetto Kasper. The topic was BBQ and I was shocked (Shocked!) to hear Lynne* and her guest recommend liquid smoke as the key to great crockpot pulled pork. In fact, Lynne seemed pretty surprised to hear herself suggest it.

But the truth, my friends, is that sometimes there is a little truth in advertising. And liquid smoke is one of those times.

*We're on a first-name basis like that. In my imagination.

You can be forgiven for wrongfully accusing liquid smoke of nefarious fakey toxic chemicalness. Even chemists have been confused on this one. Back in June, Slashfood interviewed NYU chemistry professor Kent Kirshenbaum, who--like you, me, Lynne Rossetto Kasper and everyone we know--had believed the worst about this cheap, sketchy sounding liquid............

chuck, you didn't think i forgot about you did you?


well i didn't! look what i just came across. guess where? in one of those commie male bashing femy nest blog thingies

But Why Bacon?"

A few weeks ago, as she was showing off her newly crocheted piece of bacon, my cousin proclaimed:’Bacon: It’s the New Cupcake.’ As you may have noticed, cupcakes have been a huge trend in recent years. But my cousin was right. Lately, those adorable morsels (whose popularity is most commonly credited by Magnolia Bakery’s appearance on Sex and the City) seem to be garnering some competition in our quest for quirky culinary obsessions.

It started innocently enough. My first introduction to out-of-the-box bacon was Vosge’s Mo’s Bacon Bar , and most connoisseurs of the trend agree that this subtly infused chocolate bar was the gateway drug to the bacon craze. After that, I began to notice that bacon was having a much greater presence in the foodie sphere. But it didn’t seem that strange because it was bacon as bacon should be. You know, like on burgers, breakfasts and BLTs. There were informative discussions on how to best cook bacon or even clubs where bacon lovers could unite (yes,there is more than one ) that are, while a bit eccentric, perfectly fine, right?..............

yes chuck, it is indeed true


there IS a bacon beer


By Jennifer 8. Lee

Updated, 2:25 p.m. | There seems to be no end of experimentation and obsession with all things bacon, and people, both breathing ones and the animated variety, seem to like it.

There’s chocolate-covered bacon, the Bacon Explosion (heart attack in a bundle), bacon ice cream, bacon jam and bacon vodka.

People, wistfully, have been fantasizing about a bacon beer.

Brewers are obliging. Garrett Oliver of the Brooklyn Brewery has created limited quantities of bacon beer. And in Chicago, David Burke’s Primehouse at the James Hotel is serving bacon beer brewed by the executive chef, Rick Gresh, as part of a beer pairing menu. In Washington State, the Front Street Ale House on San Juan Island began offering a bacon beer on tap in spring of 2008. ......

Mr. Bacon vs. Monsieur Tofu Action Figures

Mr. Bacon and Monsieur Tofu ($11.81) are fired up and ready to rumble, but only one can remain at the top of the food chain! Mr. Bacon stands 5-5/8" (14.3 cm) tall and fights for everything salty, greasy and meaty. Monsieur Tofu is 3-3/8" (8.3 cm) tall and represents all things made of coagulated soy milk. The winner gets eaten for dinner!
