But have either of you ever been to Belgium?
Let's just say, mussels, mayo on fries and a tripel is one of my favorite meals on the planet.

In 1984 I spent an evening at Rick's Cafe American drinking small (approx 7 oz) bottles of coke with a high school friend before heading to Paris via the overnight train.

please don't start this - as much as I love food, i'm sick of it at the minute - i'm forced to eat nearly 5000 calories per day (I dropped to 9 stone - 57kg from 13 stone - 82kg while in hospital)
and if I hear another developer joke about my eating, I will kill them.. (although I did like "whilest you are at that table, can you tell me your fill factor") a user experience developer looked up fill factor.... yay
cue the DBA jokes

I'm sorry to hear this Mike and I hope you're better soon.
I currently have two food dependants (not including the mrs, who's a beans on toast kinda gal).
A very good friend stays with us about one night per week. His next visit is this saturday. After years and years of quietly suffering Crohns, he had a bundle of stuff removed and some exterior plumbing switched around, losing about a third of his body weight in the process. After making a startling recovery from this, he was subsequently diagnosed with NETS, a type of cancer, and the weight dropped off him again. He's regaining slowly at the moment, and when he's staying o/n with us, I feed him with huge quantities of stuff he loves. This saturday it will be razor clams and fresh hot-smoked salmon.
The other dependant is Old Bob next door. He's 80, and completely lost his marbles a couple of years ago when he lost his mrs to dementia. We look after him - he's around every night for his dinner and at weekends, that would be lunch too. He's grateful for anything we give him, which means I get to play more than I would if he wasn't around.
Oh and Ed Wagner, if you're reading this - I tried your recommendation of bacon and it's absolutely wonderful, thank you so much matey.

cancer is truly horrible and I've had a few scares - but are you sure he wasn't diagnosed with .NET … I have a developer who is Entity framework positive.
please pass my regards on to your friend, it's very easy to slip into Gallows humour when you see other people in the same boat as your friend (in your case, much worse... I just had pneumonia, influenza and a collapsed lung - tis just a flesh wound)

Thank you so much for the feedback, Chris. I'm glad it worked out well. Once you actually do it, it's much simpler than it sounds.
I'm planning on doing another belly this summer when I do 2 pork shoulders and 6 chickens for my daughter's grad party. She's undecided on the smoked macaroni and cheese. I'm thinking of trying my hand at a beef brisket for the first time, too. Heck, I might do a pork loin at the same time for Jeff. 🙂
Sorry to hear about your friend. Cancer is a devastating thing and it's really nice of you to look out for him. The razor clams and smoked salmon sounds fabulous. Thanks again for the feedback, good sir.

So, came across this on Twitter, this morning, I figure some of the folks here ought to both get it, and get a kick out of it.
Or beat me when they see me for it, that's a possibility...

Following on with the food and music theme. To be sung to the tune of Queen's Bohemian Rhapsody ... it's the Indian version. (Not my work.)
Naan, just killed a man
poppadom against his head
Had lime pickle now he's dead.
Naan, dinner's just begun
But now I'm gonna crap it all away.
Naan, ooh, ooh Didn't mean to make you cry
Seen nothing yet just see the loo tomorrow
Curry on, curry on
Cause nothing really Madras.
Too late, my dinner's gone
Sends shivers down my spine
Rectum aching all the time
Goodbye onion bhaji, I've got to go
Gotta leave you all behind and use the loo.
Naan, ooh, ooh
This doopiaza is so mild
I sometimes wish we'd never come here at all.
guitar solo
I see a little chicken tikka on the side
Rogan Josh, Rogan Josh, pass the chutney made of mango
Vindaloo does nicely Very very spicy Meat!
Byriani (Byriani)
Byriani (Byriani)
Byriani and a naan
(A vindaloo loo loo loo)
I've eaten balti, somebody help me
He's eaten balti, get him to the lavatory
Stand you well back
'Case the loo is quarantined...
Here it comes
There it goes
Technicolor yawn
I chunder
No!
It's coming up again
(There he goes)
I chunder, it's coming back again
(There he goes)
Coming back again
(up again)
Here it comes again.
(No no no no no no NO)
On my knees, I'm on my knees
On his knees, Oh, there he goes
This vindaloo Is about to wreck my guts
Poor me.. poor me...poor meee!
guitar solo
So you think you can chunder and then feel alright?
So you try to eat curry and drink beer all night?
Oh maybe, But now you'll puke like a baby
Just had to come out
It just had to come right out in here.
guitar solo
slow bit
Korma, sag or bhuna
bhaji, balti or naan
Nothing makes a difference
Nothing makes a difference
To meee....
(Any way, the wind blows....shshshsh)

I heard a song on the radio the other day that was a parody of Aerosmith's 'Sweet Emotions' called 'Sweet Emoji's'. Not sure the comedians name, but it got a laugh or two out of me. 🙂

One day, we'll have to have a meeting of that Anti-RBAR Confederation you spoke about. We'll schedule time to talk about food. 🙂
We shouldn't schedule time to talk about food. We need to schedule time to go eat food!!!

I missed this. What was his recommendation for bacon? I am curious because I know some of what Ed does with food. Additionally curious because I cure my own bacon. 😛
