LZ: The new neighbors just got pizza delivered from Papa John's.
Me: A. They must not know their asses from their elbows.
B. I guess they just fell off the turnip truck.
C. A fool and his money are soon parted.
D. I'm getting hungry. Maybe they'll invite us over.
Entomophagy is the technical term for eating insects. Humans have harvested the eggs, larvae, pupae and adults of certain insect species from forests or other suitable habitats to eat for thousands of years.
The pizza, aptly named the 'Hawaiian Spaghetti Pizza', comes served with canned spaghetti, chunks of pineapple, ham and mozzarella cheese.
A couple ate raw marmot believed to have health benefits. Then, they died of the plague.
The town of Tsagaannuur, located near the border between Mongolia and Russia, was recently sealed off following the deaths of a local couple who contracted the plague from eating the raw meat and organs of an infected marmot, Ariuntuya Ochirpurev with the World Health Organization in Ulaanbaatar, told The Washington Post. Some Mongolians believe eating the rodent’s uncooked innards to be “very good for health,” Ochirpurev said. The husband and wife reportedly ate the kidney, gall bladder and stomach of the creature, a type of large squirrel found in the region.
Alabama police say a dispute over crab legs at a dinner buffet ended in a brawl that left two people facing misdemeanor charges.
Huntsville police officer Gerald Johnson says he was eating at the Meteor Buffet restaurant when a fight broke out.
Johnson tells WHNT-TV that diners were using service tongs like fencing swords, plates were shattering, and a man was beaten by a woman. Johnson says diners had been waiting in line for crab legs for more than 10 minutes, and they lost their tempers once the food came out.
I think maybe there's no customers because this bunch has eaten all the inventory.
Because it’s a nervous bird.

(Harbaugh thinks some type of sickness injected its way into the human population when people began eating white meats instead of beef and pork. And he believes it, 100 percent.)
Starting on Monday, March 26, Red Lobster rolled out a daring new menu item that has inspired unrest, enthusiasm, and uncertainty across the country.
The dish, Fried Lobster and Cheddar Bay Biscuit Waffles, is exactly what it sounds like: a waffle made of their cult-beloved Cheddar Bay biscuit mix, topped with a massive fried lobster tail, all drizzled in maple syrup (and served with side maple syrup, just in case.)
I guess it would be good if you want to eat breakfast and dinner at the same time.
I will eat everything. Cheese. Mac and cheese. Anything and cheese. I love that stuff.

We learned with some sadness earlier this month that Salem County's iconic muskrat dinner, a Lower Alloways Creek Township staple for close to 80 years, would not be held in 2018. Organizers cite a shortage of volunteers, as well as a scarcity of muskrat meat to deep-fry.

You can now have sushi delivered by a drone
In Reykjavik, Iceland — a city divided by inlets and waterways — traditional delivery by vehicle isn’t necessarily the quickest way to satisfy your cravings. These unique conditions, and the increasing demand for food that can be ordered online, have inspired one company to map out a drone delivery route.
Flytrex — an Israeli drone logistics company — claims to be the “first ever drone delivery system deployed in an urban environment.”
THE QUESALUPA:
"Having this fabulous taco with melty cheese in every single bite was something we started dreaming about 10 years ago,” Matthews says. After a decade-long journey of dairy and failure and resolve, that dream eventually became the Quesalupa, a taco served in a cheese-stuffed fried shell whose 2016 arrival was heralded by a Super Bowl ad featuring a cackling George Takei.

CHEESE EATERS:
Steel-cut oats, not cooked but rather soaked overnight with a dash of vinegar. I add whole-fat Greek yogurt and some nuts if I have them — it’s a satisfying small dish.
I had a delicious dish of lentils and a small amount of basmati rice, a preparation called kitchari, at the new vegetarian restaurant abcV in Manhattan, the other morning, and my companion had congee made with black rice and millet, in a seaweed and mushroom broth.

There is a ham sandwich served at Mirabelle, a new restaurant near the White House, and it costs $26.

A Venetian ambassador recorded a sixty-course meal that featured monkey brains, parrot tongues, Turkish fish and wines and fruits from all across the Mediterranean.

Sensory-specific satiety is a sensory hedonic phenomenon that refers to the declining satisfaction generated by the consumption of a certain type of food, and the consequent renewal in appetite resulting from the exposure to a new flavor or food.
During the Middle Ages in Europe, thick slabs of coarse and usually stale bread, called "trenchers, were used as plates. After a meal, the food-soaked trencher was fed to a dog, or to beggars.
Livermush is a Southern United States food product composed of pig liver, head parts, and corn meal.

PIG MAN:
He’ll be serving ravioli filled with smoked brisket in red-wine sauce and truffle butter, silky cod cheeks with crispy country ham and vinegar peppers, smoked duck confit with a sweet-and-sour glaze, a tomahawk chop and that must-have at cocktail events, pigs in blankets.

I'm off cod cheeks, after that incident in Red Hook last year
Jim Delligatti, the McDonald’s franchise owner who invented the Big Mac, died on Monday at his home in Fox Chapel, Pa. He was 98. The death was confirmed by his son Michael.
A hungry and broke Ohio woman was arrested Monday for soliciting sex in exchange for nachos and a lump of cash.
Officers said they discovered Crystal D. Hotlosz, 36, of Clairsville, on the website YoungstownBackpage.com, which she was using to bargain “$60 and nachos” to individuals looking for sex acts, according to the police report.
According to police, the woman was “very adamant about getting the nachos,” and asked the officer several times if he had them, as well as any cash.

Deep-fried Twinkies will be sold in the freezer aisle at Walmart starting today, reports ABC News.
The frozen treat comes in either “original golden” (vanilla) or chocolate for a $4.76 box of seven. The deep-fried original golden version has 9 grams of fat and 220 calories, almost doubling to the regular version with four grams of fat and 130 calories. To eat the deep-fried Twinkie, you just need to pop it in the oven or fry it because they’ve already been battered and partially fried before freezing.

The cafeteria food consisted mostly of marinated vegetables, and I hardly touched the meat, which was served very rarely. I was not much of a meat eater and was also suspicious that it might be dog meat, which had been served once over the summer.

How to Make Yogurt at Home
Of all the do-it-yourself projects I wanted to try, homemade yogurt was not at the top of the list. After all, it’s a lot easier to find a decent yogurt on the market than it is to track down, say, preserved lemons or cabbage-freekimchi.
But then I fell in love with a whole-milk yogurt that was so smooth, thick and milky tasting that it blew away anything I’d had before. Naturally, it was made by a Brooklyn artisan, it cost a fortune, and it was in such high demand that the fancy shop where it was sold was often out of stock.
So I decided to try making my own.
I once ate McDonald's three times in one day.

Lunch is a big huge salad with every color in it. From leafy greens to purple to herbs, fresh cut herbs mixed into it for flavors. I vary what I toss into it. Sometimes it might be lentils and chopped tomatoes, other days it could be garbanzo beans, some days I might have just a salad and have some lentil soup on the side.
