Hot Tasty Food, Coming Right Up.
So it’s getting into day 25 of the wonderful, and thoroughly enjoyable, NaBloPoMo - and one thing it’s introduced me to is the world of memes. It’s a pretty cool idea, and while some people find it slightly annoying I think it can provide some pretty cool insight into people.
Like when I’m talking to the awesome girl (which is Corinne) we seem to always find a way to talk about which food we’ve either got in each of our respective countries, or what we’ve ever tasted. She’s never had haggis and I’ve never had a corn dog. It happens, and we each swear we’ll try it sometime.
I got this from Return to Rural, and should be pretty interesting.
Here’s the idea:-
- Copy this into your own blog, including these instructions.
- Bold all of the items you’ve eaten.
- Cross out (or italicise) any items you would never consider eating.
- Post a comment here once you’ve finished and link your post back to this one.
- Pass it on!

The first thing we’re having together when we eat…are tings, they sound interesting (whatever they are)
I think Corn dogs are like pigs in a blanket and…my link doesn’t work.

Corn dogs are hot dogs dipped in a cornmeal batter and fried, on a stick. And believe it or not, there’s a hot dog heirarchy in which pigs in a blanket (which may or may not be acceptable party fare, depending on the class of guests) rank above corn dogs (which are the epitome of low-ranking carnival food) depending on the context. It’s all stupidly complicated as you can see. : ) I specialize in over-complication.
BTW, Tings are like vegan Cheetos… “crunchy corn sticks” flavored with sea salt and nutritional yeast (vegan cheese-flavor substitute).
Thanks for the link. Nice to meet you!
