You know, I think Pizza Hut is getting carried away with all of their “stunt” pizzas. Here in the US they inject hot molded mozzarella into the crust, make it twisty, sprinkled with Parmesan and spices- but its pretty much still a pizza.

In Asia, they don’t much care for pepperoni, unless, that is, its buried under seafood, hotdogs, ground beef and other bizarre ingredients. Check out this Korean Pizza Hut monstrosity, smothered with shrimp! Its the “Whole Shrimp Cheese Bite” Pizza.

And don’t forget to check out the Japanese variant that has hotdogs, hamburgers and sausages on it here.

The Slice has nine more mutant pizzas on their site here!

This is a beautiful piece of food and would be perfect for a salad bowl that would be sure to generate a buzz at your next gathering! Its a little tricky to make but Not Martha has all the details here, via Neatorama. I think it would be the perfect serving dish for a Wilted Lettuce Salad.

You remember the Seinfeld episode where Costanza blatantly flaunts the fact that he is double dipping his chips into the party dip? Some clueless frat boys at Clemson, having recently watched a Seinfeld marathon on their local UPN affiliate, decided to use that episode as their thesis paper so they can graduate and have something to show for having wasted 4 years’ worth of their parents’ money on tuition.

 That Times story is here. SoGoodBlog has this to say about it:

“On average, the students found that three to six double dips transferred about 10,000 bacteria from the eater’s mouth to the remaining dip. Each cracker picked up between one and two grams of dip. That means that sporadic double dipping in a cup of dip would transfer at least 50 to 100 bacteria from one mouth to another with every bite.”

This is a fantabulous dietary daisy-cutter bomb of greasy delight, baked at 90 minutes at 425. Its made of bacon, sausage, and more sausage.

Anheuser Busch has a brand new tasty beverage on the market for the Latino community. Its the Chelada. It’s Budweiser beer mixed with tomato juice and clam juice.

No word as yet if this comes with a barf bag.

Beer Advocate’s users are mixed on the taste.

I have been drinking red beer for years…finally, I can buy it at the store ready to drink! This beer has an excellent taste. I love it!

It has a full body taste with an added dash of salt and lime. It has a great after taste. I could drink this all day!

Thank you Anheuser Busch!

Looks almost exactly like a glass of cranberry ginger ale. In retrospect, I much rather would have had a glass of that. Smells strongly of tomato juice, and slightly of clams, which is what I remember Clamato smelling like. Has a strange soda-like fizz to it as well.
Tastes a lot like someone was going to make a Bloody Mary, but couldn’t find any vodka, so they used Budweiser instead. Then used way too much salt. Then decided to juice assorted sea creatures into the mix. The lime the can claims is in there seems strangely nonexistent. If it did exist, I’m not sure it would help.

I’ve never had the misfortune of drinking a glass of fish blood, but I expect this is what it tastes like.

This is not a beer. This is the worst Bloody Mary ever created. Avoid it like the plague.

Only sampled a very small glass at a neighbors on Thanksgiving. Red and cloudy, like tomato soup with Srpite and milk mixed in.

Aroma is like concentrated Long Island Sound. Brine and spice with a distince dead sea creature nuance.

Flavor is so bad I can scarsely describe it. Pain. Fear. Agony. This is what cancer tastes like.

Body is akin to tomato soup mixed with Diet Sprite. Filthy and undrinkable.

I love this time of year! I love it for the food almost more than the cheery festive decorations and toys. One of the best things about the season is eating Honey Baked Ham. I am fortunate enough to live very close to a Honey Baked Ham franchise, and two days before Christmas, the whole neighborhood is filled with the delicious aroma of baked ham. Thousands of people stand in line to pick up their orders in a maze of velvet ropes, winding between free samples and holiday treats. If you haven’t ordered yours yet, time’s running out.

Behold the tasty.

100 Year Old Jack Daniels Whiskey may be poured down the drain because the person selling it didn’t have a license to do so.  This would be a travesty.

3 Liters of Jack?

From the AP here:

Here’s a sobering thought: Hundreds of bottles of Jack Daniel’s whiskey, some of it almost 100 years old, may be unceremoniously poured down a drain because authorities suspect it was being sold by someone without a license.

Officials seized 2,400 bottles late last month during warehouse raids in Nashville and Lynchburg.

Tennessee law requires officials to destroy whiskey that cannot be sold legally in the state, such as bottles designed for sale overseas and those with broken seals.

The estimated value of the liquor is $1 million, possibly driven up by the value of the antique bottles, which range from 3-liter bottles to half-pints.

One seized bottle dates to 1914, with its seal unbroken. Elks said it is worth $10,000 on the collectors market. Investigators are looking into whether the liquor was being sold for the value of the bottles rather than the whiskey.

I always thought this might be the case.

A scientific study has shown that beer after a workout helps speed recovery. From the Register here:

Almost exactly a month after we leared that drinking beer makes you clever, a Spanish scientist has proved that the golden grog is also better at rehydrating the human body after exercise.

Manuel J Castillo Garzón, Professor of Human Physiology from Spain’s University of Granada, got a bunch of students to run around in temperatures of 40°C then gave half of them a half-pint of beer while the rest got the same amount of water.

The Spanish prof reckons the bubbles and carbohydrates in beer help quench the thirst and replace lost calories, according to The Telegraph.

And of course, you could just skip the exercising altogether and not have to worry about hydrating at all.

This is an oddly intriguing crossbreed of food here.  Someone made their own pizza at home and used McDonald’s chicken nuggets, cheeseburgers and fries as toppings.  It looks gross now, but it really begins to look tasty once it is smothered with mozzarella cheese and baked at 425 degrees for twenty minutes.

I mistakenly stumbled over to Cracked.Com’s site just after I ate lunch and read their article on the 6 Most Terrifying Foods in the World. You can go here and check it out, but you may never want to eat foreign food again.

Number 3 on this list was a bottle of wine called “Baby Mice Wine.”

Its a rice wine with about a dozen dead baby mice floating in it. And for a reason only Satan and some whacky Asians know, you can drink it.

From Cracked.Com here:

Baby mice wine is a traditional Chinese and Korean “health tonic,” which apparently tastes like raw gasoline. Little mice, eyes still closed, are plucked from the embrace of their loving mothers and stuffed (while still alive) into a bottle of rice wine. They are left to ferment while their parents wring their tiny mouse paws in despair, tears drooping sadly from the tips of their whiskers.

Wait, it gets worse …
Do you wince at the thought of swallowing a tequila worm? Imagine how you’d feel during a session on this bastard. Whoops, I swallowed a dead mouse! Whoops, there goes another one! Whoops, I just puked my entire body out of my nose!

Who are you going to find in America that’s OK with drinking dead fetus juice as a way to improve their own health? OK, other than lawyers.

I Googled it because Cracked is a satire and humor magazine and I just couldn’t believe such a thing exists. It does. Dear. God. No.

This is a big merger in the beer world.  Miller and Coors are teaming up to become some sort of super-brewery.

From the AP here:

The makers of Coors and Miller Lite plan to combine their U.S. brewing operations in an effort to compete better against industry leader Anheuser-Busch.

The joint venture announced Tuesday will be known as MillerCoors and will have responsibility for selling brands including Miller Lite, Miller Genuine Draft, Coors, Coors Light and Molson Canadian in the U.S.

Anheuser-Busch Cos. accounts for about half of the U.S. market with brands such as Budweiser, Michelob and Bud Light.

SABMiller PLC will have a 58 percent economic interest in the venture and MolsonCoors Brewing Co. will own 42 percent of the new company. They will have equal voting interests, however.

Precise financial terms of the deal were not disclosed.

Jones Soda is the overpriced soft drink soda maker from Seattle. They are famous for making drinks flavored with real life things you don’t want to drink- like turkey drumsticks. And green bean casserole. And pumpkin pie.

Now they are out with new drinks sure to show their outright hatred for their customers- Sweat, Turf and Dirt flavors.

From BusinessWeek here:

Ever wonder what the Seahawks’ locker room tastes like after a big game? Apparently, Jones Soda Co. thinks Seattle NFL fans want to know. The company started taking online pre-orders Thursday for a five-pack of sodas with flavors it says reflect the hard work of professional football players.

Clare Bowles, a spokeswoman for the Seattle-based company, said the four literally named flavors — Dirt, Sports Cream, Perspiration and Natural Field Turf — are “pretty lifelike.”

“Perspiration Soda is kind of salty tasting,” she said, with a slightly higher sodium content than the average soda, with a smooth, “stinky football sock” finish.
A sip of Sports Cream Soda conjures up the experience of rubbing ointment into an aching muscle, while Natural Field Turf Soda is like “playing tackle football, and you get tackled really hard, you’re down on the ground and you get a little bit of the grass in your teeth,” Bowles said.

The only sweet soda of the bunch, Sweet Victory, has a berry flavor.

Each bottle features the photo of a Seattle Seahawks player. Limited quantities of the five-pack will be sold in select stores starting Oct. 1.

In May, Jones Soda announced it won a five-year contract to sell nonalcoholic beverages at the Seahawks’ home stadium, Qwest Field, beating out The Coca-Cola Co.

I wonder if they have a “failure” flavor yet, because I’m pretty sure they might be tasting that.

So what do you do?  You need an icy cold one, but your boss is on your back about those TPS reports.

From Internet Lore, but it really belongs on Belch.com.

I have not seen anyone explain this as well as Cliff Clavin, on “Cheers.” One afternoon at Cheers, Cliff Clavin was explaining the Buffalo Theory to his buddy Norm. and here’s how he explained it:

“Well ya see, Norm, it’s like this… A herd of buffalo can only move as fast as the slowest buffalo. And when the herd is hunted, it is the slowest and weakest ones at the back that are killed first.  This natural selection is good for the herd as a whole, because the general speed and health of the whole group keeps improving by the regular killing of the weakest members.

“In much the same way, the human brain can only operate as fast as the slowest brain cells. Excessive intake of alcohol, as we know, kills brain cells. But naturally it attacks the slowest and weakest brain cells first. In this way, regular consumption of beer eliminates the weaker brain cells, making the brain a faster and more efficient machine. That’s why you always feel smarter after a few beers.”

AmTrak is offering up to a C-Note’s worth of free booze on their overnight trains.  I reckon you need to bring your own alka-seltzer for the hangover.

From the AP here:

Amtrak is trying to gin up new business by offering $100 in free alcohol to customers on some overnight trains. The national passenger rail company is making the unusual offer to promote a new high-end service being offered on a trial basis for certain sleeper car trips.

Members of Amtrak’s guest rewards program—the railroad equivalent of frequent fliers—can get a $100 per person credit for alcohol between November and January.
The offer of free drinks comes on top of the dinner wine that is already included in the cost of a ticket for GrandLuxe trips on the California Zephyr—chugging between Chicago and San Francisco—the Southwest Chief between Chicago and Los Angeles, or the Silver Meteor between Washington, D.C., and Miami or Orlando, Fla.

At about $6 for a house wine or $7 for a top-shelf scotch, that credit could fuel a long ride.

I tend to get motion sick on trains if I am on them for a long time.  I imagine a hundred bucks of free booze wouldn’t help that queasy feeling very much.

Dear God, its the godzilla of Pizza Pie.  If you took a fast food restaurant, mutated it with radioactive goo, and allowed it to rise from the sea of Japan on the big screen every few years, this is what you would have:  The Double Roll Pie!

This is a cheese pizza from pizza hut, surrounded by pigs in blankets, topped with hamburger patties, peas, carrots, bacon, onions, peppers and sausage.  And some tomatoes too.  It has 650 calories per slice.  And its available in all of the Japanese Pizza Huts.  And I hope they stay there!  Go to Geeksaresexy for the rest of the details.

Hands off you muslims! This ice cream is not for you!

A Rehoboth Beach ice cream parlor has created the ultimate in heart-attack desserts! Bacon Chunk Ice Cream! Mmmm!

From the WaPo here:

The cooler at Udder Delight in Rehoboth Beach contains some of owner Chip Hearn’s unusual ice cream flavors, including bacon and barbecue.

On a day trip from Bear, Del., Linus and her friend Leigh Ann McDonough, 24, flip-flopped into the otherwise old-fashioned ice cream parlor thinking icy-cold mango smoothies. But Udder Delight owner Chip Hearn steered them to an impromptu taste test of his newest creations — one of which may be the world’s first barbecue-flavored ice cream. The other test flavors: a chunky bacon ice cream and a pale-red Cackalacky Spice Sauce ice cream.

Linus licks the bacon ice cream. “Not bad,” she says. But she’s not big on the frozen bits of bacon. McDonough thinks it tastes a little like butter pecan and kind of likes it.

Udder Delight is at the corner of Rehoboth Avenue and Triple Bypass, across from Hooters

Good thing its close to Triple Bypass. You may need one if you eat too many of these.

Im not too sure how much of this is true, or whether this is clever marketing strategy- But a man in New York is suing the maker of Boost Plus because it gave him a never-ending stiffy.

From the AP here:

A man has sued the maker of the health drink Boost Plus, claiming the vitamin-enriched beverage gave him an erection that would not subside and caused him to be hospitalized.

The lawsuit filed by Christopher Woods of New York said he bought the nutrition beverage made by the pharmaceutical company Novartis AG at a drugstore on June 5, 2004, and drank it.
Woods’ court papers say he woke up the next morning “with an erection that would not subside” and sought treatment that day for the condition, called severe priapism.

They say Woods, 29, underwent surgery for implantation of a Winter shunt, which moves blood from one area to another.

The lawsuit says Woods later had problems that required a hospital visit and penile artery embolization, a way of closing blood vessels. Closing off some blood flow prevents engorgement and lessens the likelihood of an erection.
