Wandering through the interent from link to link can lead to some very odd little cul de sacs. So there I was reading about cell phones and USB ukuleles when I came across a site on sausage carving. Bonus point for translations
Japanese sausage carving

Also on the same site the "Turbo Tap" beer dispenser. Link here

So now it'll be possible to screw up a decent pour of Guiness in record time

There was an article about the turbotap on the front page of the Wall Street Journal within the last week or so.

I saw a demo on the tv news for the turbo tap. It was from Wrigley Field and the speed with which they were able to get the beer lines moving was pretty impressive! Would love to see it at RFK.

And we must not forget the Octodog! There are also many devices intended to cut Japanese sausages into clever shapes for bento boxes, but I am oddly reluctant to perform a search on "shape sausage" from work.

And apparantly because there is less foam, there is less spillage and they can get several more draughts out of a keg with the turbo tap.

This is probably what you'd end up with. (Speaking of "Fun with meat"...)

Most of you have probably seen this before, but you gotta give props to one of the funniest sites on the internets:

Lileks - The Dayalets

Also from Lileks:

pressed shank braised with smoker's phlegm

Perhaps someone should host a dinner party with nothing but dishes from old recipe books. No fresh vegetables allowed!

Ha! Was just about to link to The Gallery of Regrettable Food. It is quite awesome.

And then there are these classics. Weight Watchers Recipe Cards

A double whammy - old and diet.

No matter how many times I see these I laugh out loud.

I have a copy of that cookbook and would be happy to supply recipes for the party!

The Bad Candy Website

Then there's always fun with meat at someone else's expense:

The StinkyMeat Project

Warning: Do not view if you are eating lunch. Especially if you were planning on having steak.

I keep forgetting to post this... while at La Cuisine in Old Town a couple of weeks ago, I ran across a package of these: Click. (Be sure to check out the related meat products at this site!)

mmm, beef twinkies .

I prefer the Hamwinkies a la "The Soup".

I have a box!

Cut a hole in the box...

I used my bacon bandages a few months back and people kept staring...and then asking what grisly horror had befallen my hand. Even in pictures, sectioned pork belly looks far worse than an actual minor boo-boo, folks.

That was only because you'd been playing with the contents of your box...

I almost didn't see your response. Must have been the blindness.
