Fricklelicious

Sure that was a bad Fergie pun, but I have a hard time imagining a good Fergie pun. The New York Times in its weekly food insert (read: crack for foodies) has an article by Kim Severson about the 175 days set aside for food and beverage “days”.

After reading this I wanted to create the most obscure food holiday ever, but both Serious Eats and I noticed that we were both late to the game. Some crazy (If do it, eccentric, anyone else does it, insane) Pennsylvania couple specialize in creating wacky little holidays. A few examples:

Sneak Some Zucchini on Your Neighbor’s Porch Night (Aug. 8), National Eat What You Want Day (May 11), Cook Something Bold and Pungent Day (Nov. 8) and everyone’s favorite Yell Fudge at the Cobras in North America Day on June 2.

And I thought National Frickle Day was going to be wild and crazy. Now “Cannibal Day”, that’s something way ahead of its time.

Cheeseburger + Chicken Nuggets = Pure Gluttony

A Hamburger Today blog documents the greatest revolution in burger technology. Taking the McDonald’s chicken nuggets and placing them, ever so carefully, on the hamburger, and eating it all at once. Pure cardiac arrest, but oh so delicious…if of course I could survive eating it.

Serious Eats: hated by doctors everywhere

I May Cry at the Nuptials

Serious Eat’s asked the question: “What’s your favorite kitchen sound?” Mel’s answer: “Sizzling bacon - oh, the anticipation!” I just developed my first man-crush. He had me at “sizzling”.

Mel, in honor of Valentine’s Day, will you marry me?

Tastes Like Bad Marketing

Serious Eats has a mention regarding XEtertainment’s article on dead sodas. I’ve been thinking of orbitz recently and would love to get my hand on a bottle of the stuff. I have no doubt that a syrup filled with cancer balls will kill me, but that’s a risk I’m willing to take.

More importantly X-Entertainment has an homage to the greatest drink ever to exist, Hi-C Ecto Cooler. Tasting like orange-erineish and looking like Chernobyl, men have been known to kill over the last remaining drops of this fabled substance. Some say it is the elixir eternal youth, but I say it is to taste God itself. Ummmmmm, cannibalism delicious.
