Nobody cares about food.

Banana nut icecream from the US Navy in 1945, usually made on submarines. Max Miller finds it very tasty.

Went to the grocers this morning and decided to walk by the eggs, which is something I haven't really done the past four years or so. (Thanks, COVID! Thanks, TRUMP!) They were adozen large for 99 cents!

I'm boiling four eggs now. Going to have two for lunch, with the other two going in the fridge. I picked up some extra cheese to make a couple small omelettes on Tuesday or Wednesday, and I'm planning a potato frittata on Friday. Egg week!

McDonald's has finally got the memo that their food is even too shite for junk food, and wants to improve it.

So internally a program named NEXT has been launched in June 2026. There are four areas of focus, one is centered on improving chicken, beef and beverage quality at scale. It should include new sauces for chicken, improved McCrispy platform, a broader McCafe refresh an seasonal refreshers.

I wonder how this is going to turn out.

Yum, I'm thinking about making myself a spinach and bacon omelette tonight.

I’m eating some smoked oysters from a tin, along with crackers and a little lemon juice.

I remember when I was young, my mother would eat canned crab, shrimp, and smoked oysters. Consider them as small luxuries. Keep in mind, she also ate squeezable log cheese and drank tang.

Anyway, the tinned oysters make for a good late night feeling peckish snack

Smoked oysters were always one of those little delicacies that we'd put out on a charcuterie tray in the 80's. I love them. Also, I still drink Tang.

Burger King rewards superfan who visited every France restaurant, but leaves him one more challenge | Attack of the Fanboy

Some food challenges end with a trophy. Others come with an unexpected twist that sends fans back to square one. One Burger King enthusiast in France

attackofthefanboy.com

After visiting every Burger King restaurant across mainland France, the fan decided to ask the fast-food chain if his dedication deserved a reward.

Burger King France eventually replied and congratulated him for the achievement. However, the company also noticed that one part of French territory was missing from his map.

Instead of offering a straightforward prize, Burger King proposed a new challenge. The chain offered Swelez one free Whopper meal at every Burger King restaurant on Réunion Island, a French territory in the Indian Ocean.

[...] Burger King confirmed that flights and accommodation would not be included.

This is some deviously clever viral marketing on the part of Burger King (France).
