I seriously hope that the macaroni and cheese recipe really needs "tabasco sauce", rather than "tobacco sauce", because I can't even imagine... no. Not going to think about it.

    who needs 51 pages to call up pizza hut?

    This assumes, of course, that geeks are willing to brave anything even resembling a kitchen. Most people I know of the technical inclination much prefer something that either a) comes in a bag or b) gets delivered to your table. After all, geeks have far more important things to use their brain power on, such as....er....um....yeah.

      italian geeks cook well :)
      Personally i love cooking, it creatively relaxes my mind and after a day spent on a cold computer an hot meal its really something. People should try good food sometimes instead of their "cold pizza"...

      Quotes from that episode:

      "Now Iron Chef Geek appears to be marinating the Mishima beef in some sort of brown mixture..is that soy sauce? Now he's coating it in what looks like flour..."

      "Fukui-san!"

      "Go ahead, Ohta-san."

      "The Iron Chef Geek is soaking the beef in Jolt cola, then coating it in crushed penguin mints."

      "Now that's just disgusting."

    Dear Lord. A Slashdot editor griping about Spelling.

    Did I get off on the wrong planet?

    Yeah, thanks for putting standard text into a 500k pdf. Seriously.

  7. Tobacco Sauce by JohnG · · Score: 5, Funny
    Big Tobacco doesn't want you to know this, but Philip Morris has been adding tobacco sauce to their kraft macaroni and cheese for some time now, in hopes of getting younger children addicted earlier.

    All I can say is... "ewwwww".

    Check out the "Breakfast Sandwich" on page 2. It involves frying a bagel and eggs in bacon grease! This gives you: greasy bagel/cheese/eggs/cheese/bacon/greasy bagel. A noxious concoction which would probably not only turn any surrounding napkins translucent with lipids, but maybe even the table itself. You may as well lick a Lard Pop (tm) every morning while drinking your coffee mixed with olive oil and Crisco.

    This sort of stuff makes me proud to be a vegatarian.
