Yesyesyes pleases.

“gay coloured cigarettes”

I think that’s a fabulous idea. As is “More ‘John On Food’ posts”

ps: I’ll be passing though Catalonia in September or October. Are you still in those parts?

There are a lot of recipe database programs that you can run on a pc, but Yummysoup is Mac only.

Sorry I can’t help with a PC recommendation because I always use a Mac.

These are really interesting, and I’m with everyone who says #1 is true- what you eat really can affect your taste, some things more so then others. For example, someone who has been living off of nothing but ramen for weeks- just don’t go there! Bad idea… lol.

I’ve only ever seen pineapple juice is paper cartons here in California.

Thanks for this list. You really made an effort to collect those interesting and unusual facts. I have a website about pineapples (http://www.pineapplefacts.info) and I wasn’t even aware of some of those facts.

Interesting article John. I’m just back from a short trip to Pune and found your blog while exploring the ‘story’ behind the famous Shrewsbusry biscuits in India.

Comment on Is Teflon Safe? by Matt from Rice Cooker Guide

Matt from Rice Cooker Guide — Mon, 29 Mar 2010 15:57:34 +0000

Hello John,

Matt here from Rice Cooker Guide.

I am in the process of getting some feedback about the safety concerns on Teflon since most rice cookers use this substance for the non stick bowls. In doing so, I have stumbled across your post.

I have found the read to be helpful, and will link to this page from my site as a result. Thanks for the information and for putting it in to an honest perspective!

Regards,

-Matt

John i know what you mean about the soggy onions they are nasty Mac but you are probably up on that. the story was fine and not soggy. I remember visiting my grandmother in baltimore maryland and going to the corner store to get the best giant crunchy sour onions ever made. its been a long time since i have had one i can not get them where i live so i am forced to eat the tiny cocktail onions. thanks for the recipe i will try to make them hopefully they will be good.
