Right. They're joined at the hip.

mmmm... hip...

anyways, i read this whole thread (and that tragedy thread... you guys make it awful hard to lurk and still keep up with trendy threads...) and i saw that movie super size me. I think the most profound thing in the movie was how he threw up after that first supersize meal. Frankly, they're WAY too big. mcdonalds definitely knew it was causing people issues when it actually gave out gallons of soda and tons of fries with a big greesy cheeseburger. They've gotten rid of the "super size" now though, so I'm happier with them.

Personally... i prefer taco bell over a burger joint any day. c'mon people, think outside the bun!

i also don't like liver, sausage is ok, and don't knock finger until you've tried it... (personally, i prefer toes though... )

I LOVE rillets, made from duck. The only place outside of France I've had decent rillets was at the Brasserie in Bennington, VT. Anyone else know where I can get good duck rillets in the US...

Great stuff Evo, there is a place in Albany, NY that makes a wood-fired pizza with duck rillet on it, superb :-p . You know you could always make your own...duck confit can be purchased already prepared and packed in the fat, or go all the way and start from whole fresh duck.

I found this and thought you might like it: Perigourdine Salad - walnuts, foie gras, duck carpaccio, rillettes and lardons all on top of a few lettuce leaves. I like how they just throw in a "few lettuce" leaves to justify the salad classification :biggrin: . Hey, speaking of French food, did you find anything on those frog sites?

I found the canned haggis! Get on over to http://www.caledoniankitchen.com/catalog/ and order up some. There's even a vegetarian version, although "vegetarian haggis" seems like a heck of an oxymoron.

Unfortunately, the haggis chips aren't available in the US , but you an find 'em back home in Scotland. Go to http://www.standrewssweetco.co.uk/crisps.htm and don't forget to try the smoked salmon crisps too. :biggrin:

Finger in Wendy's Chili Was Sold to Pay Debt[/size]
By Donna Horowitz, Special to The Times[/size]

SAN JOSE — Police today said the man whose finger was allegedly planted in a bowl of chili as a scheme to exact money from the Wendy's restaurant chain sold it to cover a $50 debt.

Santa Clara County Deputy Dist. Atty. David Boyd said the man, identified in reports as Brian Paul Rossiter, 36, of Las Vegas, is not a suspect.

"He is cooperating with law enforcement. We don't have any reason to believe he's been involved," said Boyd.

Today's court events rounded out the official account of the mystery of the case of the missing digit by answering the remaining questions — whose finger was found in the chili, and why.
