Take your stinking cheese off me, you damned dirty ape!

Gorilla Sandwich. (Probably not what you think - SFW) You can make your own (with cheesy 70s porn music). Serendipitously, someone at Gourmet Gorilla turned me on to these.

Veat: It's what's for lunch

The top 10 fake-chicken sandwiches in the U.S. Fake meat is popping up more and more, but it still can be hard to find a good vegan/vegetarian sandwich that doesn't provide its protein from cheese and bread. Amy from PETA's VegCookingBlog has selected her top 10 faux-chicken sandwiches. In reverse order: 10. Chickette Sandwich - Red Dog Saloon, 1421 Colley Ave, Norfolk, VA 9. Breaded Chicken Sandwich - Vertical Diner, 2280 S West Temple, Salt Lake City, UT 8. No Chicken Caesar Club - Foodswings, 295 Grand St, Brooklyn, NY 7. Grilled Gardein Bruschetta Pomodoro Panini - VegiTerranean, 21 Furnace St, Akron, OH 6. Mock Chicken Dijon - Pizza Lucé, various locations, Minneapolis/St. Paul, MN 5. Chicken Parmesan Hero - Red Bamboo, 140 W. 4th St., NYC, NY 4. Chicken Run Ranch Burger - Native Foods, southern CA 3. Bayou Chickin' Sandwich - Veggie Grill, L.A. and Irvine, CA 2. Vegan Philly Chicken Cheese Steak - Govinda's Gourmet Vegetarian, 1408 South St, Philadelphia, PA 1. Secret BBQ Chicken Sandwich - Green New American Vegetarian, 2240 N. Scottsdale Rd. #8, Tempe, AZ Red Bamboo might be my favorite vegan restaurant, but for fake meat in San Francisco, I like Golden Era, Loving Hut, and Millennium. In Louisville (KY), I like Zen Garden. The latter offers a bitching BBQ Soy Sandwich, but none of them have fake-chicken sandwiches. Got a local favorite that should make the list? What's the best fake-chicken sandwich in the world? Does anyone really care? Bonus content: Recent update on in vitro meat from Wired UK. And CNN. And Wikipedia. (previously)

School Lunch From Around The World

School Lunch From Around The World

Grapes we can believe in

The first female White House chef, a naturalized Philippina named Cristeta Comerford, was appointed by George W. Bush - who told Philippine President Gloria Arroyo, "I am reminded of the great talent of our Philippine Americans when I eat dinner at the White House." Despite the urging of American food icon Alice Waters, President Obama has left Comerford in charge of the White House kitchens - though he's keeping quiet about it. But on the basis of the wines served at Obama's Inauguration Day lunch, oenophiles are still hoping for change. (more First Food posts here and here )

Hochbetrieb [Nuts & Bolts] is a 2003 short from Germany that utilizes live actors and computer-generated effects in tribute to influences ranging from silent comedies to Charles Ebbetts' images of construction crews atop the GE Building, along with a cat & mouse cartoon from MGM guest-starring a baby and a Warner Brothers piece about an amphibian.

Lunches of endless novelty and imagination

Obento wonderland. A site in Japanese which (appears to) chronicle one bento-crazed artisan's daily lunch-making ritual. Let no lunch be without novelty! You don't need to be able to read the text to get a perverse kick out of the images. My wilted Vegemite sandwiches were never this entertaining. Is this amazingly cool, or a vaguely unpleasant reminder that food is more abundant in some places than others? Never mind all that - Puppies! Frogs! Blossoms! Do you dare eat the art?

Cute Bento Box Lunches.

This meal wasn’t so much a lunch as an act of vengeance. The brave -- or perhaps just lazy -- souls at HeatEatReview sacrifice their tastebuds and stomachs so that cubicle dwellers like me can eat only the finest processed foods at our desks every day. Actually not like me, I'm having another damn salad.

The Vegetarian Lunchbox

The Vegetarian Lunchbox seems like a good resource. Hadn't heard of a strawberry and cucumber sandwich before.

Either you liked them or you didn't, but for 60 years, the National School Lunch Program has been feeding American school children low cost, nutritious meals. Personally, from the 1960's, in small town Kansas, I miss the fish sticks, the thick oil crust sheet pizza, and the corn bread. And subsidized milk, at 2 cents an 8 ounce carton.

The Best Sandwich

MiguelCardoso — Sat, 06 Sep 2003 19:43:08 -0800

The BBC Is Looking For The Best Sandwich In The World: Can you help? Sandwiches are supposedly easy but, come to think of it, perfect sandwiches are actually quite difficult to invent and produce. Bread gets wet; lettuce wilts; flavours and textures clash. Personally, I like English tea sandwiches best; though the Mediterranean versions are a meal in themselves. But if you had to stake your life and reputation on one fulfilling and tastebud-enticing sandwich, which one would it be? To go.

For students in one Iowa school district this year, it's "sit down, shut up and eat your lunch." The principal says it curbs the noise level and makes sure kids eat all of their meal. Because if there's one thing this country (not to mention the rest of the world) needs, it's more fat kids.

Schroedinger's Lunchbox Quantom physics on an empty stomach is probably a mistake.

"Today I'm Having Lunch With My Friend." A game anyone can play, centered around eating lunch with a total stranger. A minimum of rules... an ambiguous and open ended "goal." (more inside)

If the eight foot tall image of Bob's Big Boy doesn't scare you, maybe the thought of having lunch with David Lynch would. What would you ask him over a tasty Tuna Melt? Quicktime required for full goodness.
