I Ate This

I Ate This is a Flickr group.

It's a new hobby- people who snap a pic of everything they eat.

Flickr has various rules about sharing pics- so you will have to click over to view the pics. It's oddly entertaining. Some are pics of dishes prepared at home; some are dishes from restaurants; some are quick snacks.

Just for kicks, I tried this on my own blog. So I have my own pics of what I ate to share with you instead! It is still strange to me that people enjoy taking a pic of everything they eat... but at the same time, taking those pics is an easy food journal and sharing those pics is a form of accountability and a strange kind of intimate sharing.

That's using your dipstick!

We've all seen the Castrol commercial where the Scottish man goes around whacking people with an oil dipstick. Well, oil is about the only thing this post has in common with that commercial. Oh, and the stick part.

Here are some great and odd food from around the world you can find a la kebob!

How about Goat Lungs or Seahorse?

No? Maybe you'll enjoy some delicious tentacles!

Not for you, then maybe just a lovely Smore? Or some Hot chocolate? Mmmm...yummy!!

Do You Eat It?

Do You Eat It? is a decision flow-chart posted by Andy Wright on the SF Weekly Food blog.

Finally, a guide to answer one of life's most difficult questions: when can you eat something you dropped on the ground?  We all know the five second rule is SO third grade.

Based on my propensity to drop things, I figure this guide will eventually help me save hundreds of dollars... or cause me hundreds of stomach flues. Let's hope for the former.

Open A Banana Like A Monkey

Open A Banana Like A Monkey is a video that has gone viral- teaching everyday folks a whole "new" way of opening a banana. Instead of struggling with the stick end- try this method of opening the banana from the bottom. A simple pinch, squeeze, split, pull. I've not witnessed an actual monkey peeling a banana... but this method certainly is easier!

Cheese or Font

Cheese or Font is a self-explanatory game where you get to guess if the word is a cheese or font.

Food, Inc

Food, Inc is a trailer about the eponymous commercial movie. According to Wikipedia, it was "directed by Emmy Award-winning filmmaker Robert Kenner. The film is loosely based on Eric Schlosser's bestselling 2001 non-fiction book Fast Food Nation: The Dark Side of the All-American Meal and The Omnivore's Dilemma written by Michael Pollan."

Seems like your typical lefty documentary. I like the creepy music and totally wan to see it. Shoud I bother?

(PS: Okay okay you caught me: I don't normally post things like this, it's really just a ploy to get someone to see it with me.)

Kogi

This is old hat for the foodies but I figured it was time to feature it. I mean, it's been featured on NIGHTLINE so I feel remiss in having held out and not written about it earlier. //

Kogi is a Korean BBQ-To-Go Taco truck restaurant that announces its location (in LA) via Twitter.  They serve a mix of Korean BBQ and Mexican out of a taco truck. While they do have some pre-scheduled stops, they're always on the go.  Supposedly when the tweets go out, the lines are like, totally 100 feet long.

This is Why You're Fat

This is Why You're Fat is an awful, awful blog about the most fattening foods you didn't even imagine possible. Like oreos with extra filling as tall as the Chrysler building, and doughnuts stuffed with sloppy joe meat. Good luck eating again.

Bacon Explosion is an article BBQ Addicts

Bacon Explosion is an article/recipe BBQAddicts.com. Basically, you wrap a sausage in a weave of bacon. This is the grossest article you can send a vegetarian.

Next to ascaris. Nothing is grosser than ascaris.

How Hot Dogs Are Made

How Hot Dogs Are Made is a video From the Science channel's show, "How It's Made." It shows you how hot dog are made. Totally gross, and it's true... you don't want to know.  Soooo glad I don't eat those. 

Also, that inspector job must be soooo tedious.

Also that's it.
