I was in the UK over the holidays. The KFC “gravy on everything” ad blitz was a bit jarring. “Would you like some chicken with your gravy.”  LOL. What is the UK fascination with KFC gravy? Read more

My wife is a great cook. She got COVID 1 year ago and it totally jacked with her taste buds. Anything with meat (besides fish) tastes like you have a mouth full of quarters. Certain other protein-y things do this at well (most nuts). Read more

That’s basically exactly how I feel about it. Read more

I am not vegetarian/vegan, but I’d be willing to try this out of curiosity. I would not be surprised if, in 20-30 years, it becomes much cheaper to grow meat in a lab than to buy it from a butcher. I really do believe most of the processed meat we will eat, will be lab-grown. Read more

I hate to completely disagree with you, BUT: Read more

These products are designed for someone like me. I’m neither vegan nor vegetarian, but I still have concerns about both the morality (from an animal welfare perspective) and the environmental impact of factory farming practices... so while I do eat meat, I can also go for days at a time without having it even once,… Read more

I like that Dunkin' kept the doughnut theme with the design of their little bites. Read more

Interesting local price differences. Here in the burbs of Boston I paid $4.49 for the Dunks eggs yesterday and the Bucks sous video eggs are $4.65. Read more

Chalk. When I was a kid, I liked the ‘toothsomeness’ of biting chalk. Read more

I went through a phase about 20 years ago where I used to chew on bamboo chopsticks. Not the wooden ones, just the round bamboo ones. Read more

Watermelon scented Yankee Candle. Read more

Play-Doh. As a kid it had such an intriguingly pleasant aroma. The taste, not so much. Read more

Not a craving per se, but I frequently have dreams in which I eat toilet paper.

As the Santa (and possibly also the Grinch) of my house, I’ll take fresh-baked cookies over Olive Garden’s breadsticks that have a weird chemical taste anyday. Read more

As Santa, I realize I’d just be buying breadsticks for myself, but still, I approve of this. Read more
