In a time of uncertainty, one thing’s for certain… tasty cuisine reigns supreme.

I have been enjoying this recent thread on Plastic called Make Food, Not War.

War, death, religion and politics ride rampant over the face of our fair globe. In a perfect world, all of our troubles could be solved if we could meet over dinner and simply talk. It is an unlikely dream, but in these troubled times there is one thing we, even we can all agree on: Food is tasty.

Amen.

The thread continues to discuss:

• the comfort of Food Network‘s lack of war-related programming (in which I take great solace from the war coverage, along with TechTV, of course)

• Nigella Lawson (I will add, I had no idea she had a TV show till now, although I am a fan of her work)
• the secret menu at In-n-Out Burger (which, I only heard about at poker night this past Saturday)
• some tasty recipes are shared (including some entertaining THC-enchanced recipes a.k.a. “Happy Cuisine”).

Mmm, food. It’s the one thing we all can agree on.

Please feel free to share some of your favorite recipes in the comments!

And now for some somewhat distantly related one-hit-wonder 80′s tunes:

I Eat Cannibals
by Total Coelo

I eat cannibal
Feed on animal
Your love is so edible to me
I eat cannibals

I eat cannibal
It’s incredible
You bring out the animal in me
I eat cannibals

What can you do
You’re in a stew
Hot hot cook it up
I’m never gonna stop
Fancy a bite
My appetite
Yum yum gee it’s fun
Banging on a different drum

And I eat cannibal
Feed on animal
Your love is so edible to me
I eat cannibals

I eat cannibal
It’s incredible
You bring out the animal in me

I don’t need no take away ’cause
