    behold, the pigpocalypse...

    Take Bacon. Add Sausage. Blog. By DAMON DARLIN Published: January 27, 2009 FOR a nation seeking unity, a recipe has swept the Internet that seems to unite conservatives and liberals, gun owners and foodies, carnivores and ... well, not vegetarians and health fanatics. Certainly not the...

    behold, the pigpocalypse...

    Yeah, I thought people would go crazy over this - looks amazing, and has cultural relevance, what with Michelle Obama announcing hers "a bacon family" (guess that once and for all kills off the Muslim talk). Does the Times block links from non-members? Maybe I posted what for most people is...

    behold, the pigpocalypse...

    You're a kind soul, but I've dealt with unrequited threads before. Killed a bunch too with my, uh, wisdom. Just part of the deal, I guess!

    NYC - tourist question!!

    If you stand in Sheep's Meadow in Central Park and look northwest, you can see the roof of the building where the Keymaster met the Doorkeeper, or whatever. I dropped acid there once and saw this happen in real time.

    NYC - tourist question!!

    NYC is ridiculously safe these days, that goes for the subway as well. Buses are even safer, if slower. I think the usual big city rules apply though - be discreet with wads of cash and jewelry, be aware of surroundings and dark, lonely streets, etc. I've been riding the subway every day for...

    NYC - tourist question!!

    That which does not kill you makes you stronger. Some german guy said that a while ago, but it applies to NYC as well. The biggest challenge is finding a place to live. As someone who's rented many places in many neighborhoods, (and is now a landlord himself) I probably have some good advice for...

    NYC - tourist question!!

    Keep in mind public transportation in towns outside of NYC is spotty to nonexistent, so make sure wherever you go the train or bus or whatever drops you off within walking distance of the attraction you're looking for. It's not just the distance you'll maybe need to walk - a lot of suburbs and...

    NYC - tourist question!!

    I love you, but you're insane. You can see about 10 miles from up there, (unless it's foggy, but...) and it's a brilliant piece of architecture, really strong and powerful and evocative. It is a little dingy, though they seem to be renovating.

    Molecular gastronomy

    Sounds interesting, and Frank Bruni has given 3 starts to a lot of places that come off worse in his reviews. (And you make everything sound a lot tastier than he does - maybe you should apply for the job!) WD50 is probably the only place I'd do something like that, a tasting menu. I get antsy...

    Foods you will NEVER try.

    Yeah, well, you get a little snail flavor in there, too... not exactly the same thing but I admit it's a good substitute.

    What are you craving right now?

    Something other than the "two-bite" crack brownies I brought home for dessert. Usually a package of those things doesn't last three hours in my house, but tonight I'm not feeling it.

    Foods you will NEVER try.

    Correct. People have to get over the phobia. Really, you barely taste the snail anyway - it's all about the butter and oil and garlic and mopping the stuff up with the bread after the snail is gone.

    Foods you will NEVER try.

    I don't know whether I'm proud or embarrassed that I think I'd try basically anything that won't knowingly make me ill - and with enough sake, you could probably feed me fugu, too, as long as my health insurance is paid up. I think I've had everything on just about everyone's list, except human...

    Best BBW beaches in Mexico

    I was in Cancun a loooong time ago, at a mid-level resort on the middle of the "strip" and there were plenty of BBWs poolside and on the beach, including a few supersized beauties. Any of the big resort cities get plenty of American tourists in winter and so you'll basically find what you see at...

    Molecular gastronomy

    Fergus Henderson - that was who I was thinking of. I think he gets a real perverse pleasure out of serving people weird parts beyond how well they actually taste. But yeah, I agree with you that we should get over our ickies and try new things. Why should we only eat odd anatomy in our hot dogs...

    Godiva...what is the big deal?

    Okay, first of all, the weddings I've been to I'm lucky there's an open bar. Marcolinis are sold by the (small) piece - I think $3 per last time I was there. Yowza.

    Molecular gastronomy

    Don't read "Consider the Lobster" by David Foster Wallace. It came closer than anything I've ever read to converting me to vegetarianism. Didn't ultimately work, but usually I'm pretty hostile to people preaching it to me, and it did make me, uh, Consider. But as long as I'm eating critters, I...
