Obama Outlines Moral, Philosophical Justifications For Turkey Pardon

Seven Best Deep Fried Turkey Disaster Videos

Tomorrow's Thanksgiving, and a whole bunch of people are going to just toss a frozen turkey willy-nilly into a deep fryer, film the exploding fireball that results and post it on YouTube. (For which we, of course, are very thankful.) Most likely, you're doing it wrong and should probably stick the bird in the oven. Word to the wise: if you absolutely must fry a turkey, defrost it completely and make sure to dry it inside and out before dunking it in oil.

U.K. Sausage Week is almost here! !

by: Eric Hertha

The hunt for the UK’s star sausage will once more get underway during this year’s British Sausage Week. Sausage producers, butchers, farm shops and caterers are all in with a chance of taking the title. The official dates are November 1 – 7.

I am sure that you will all remember last years event. A good time was had by all. And this years event, organized by Bpex, will provide a unique platform to celebrate the taste, quality and rich diversity of the great British Sausage.

Organizers said this year’s event was seeking sausages with ‘star quality’ - whether that is a secret recipe, extra ingredient or the quality of pork used. Entrants are simply required to provide the name of their chosen sausage and include a brief description of why it deserves to be ‘Britain’s Star Sausage’. The deadline for entries is Friday 3rd September 2010, after which shortlisted finalists will be chosen. Who knows you could win the British Sausage Week Banger Award. Something that you could cherish for years to come

According to Organizers “The competition is always hotly contested, drawing hundreds of entries from butchers, manufacturers and retailers and we hope this year will be no different. But the sausages will have to be of stellar quality if they are going to satisfy our strict judges!”

Competition entry forms are available to download from www.porkforbutchers.co.uk or by email sausageenquiries@bpex.org.uk.

As you know, hotels in London fill up quickly when the official dates are announced. Packages, as always, are available and don’t forget to dress like a Sausage when you check into your hotel to get added discounts. If your companion looks like mashed potatoes the "sky is the limit" on additional bonus discount coupons. You could even win a chance to get your picture taken with "Miss Banger". Also remember to try a Sausage Martini!

17 Inadvertently Meaningful Chinese Menu Misspellings

Whether these represent typos, misspellings, bad transliterations, or -- as some have suggested, Chinese menu writers are working with a badly flawed 19th century English dictionary -- all of these come from restaurants located in the five boroughs. Whatever the cause, they form a highly entertaining and cross-cultural type of meta-literature.
