​10. Little Debbie -- You ought to have the face of an angel, Little Debbie; instead your visage is wrinkly and witchy. You are your own grandmother, and you're wearing her clothes, too: plaid shirt with collar that lies perfectly flat and strange white straw hat trimmed in sky blue.

​The result (left) and the process (right)

Thanks to San Francisco correspondent @tracyjane and Upper West Side bon vivant Justin Kennington for clueing us in to this snack food newly invented by the website Dude Foods. Looks like a pretty nifty idea, except maybe you don't want your Teflon waffle maker encrusted with burned chicken schmaltz. Spoilsport!

​Tomato bisque, the first course. Hey, are we in a Burger King? Why are those people wearing paper crowns?

It's been a decade since I went to Medieval Times with Michael Musto and Lynn Yaeger. I wrote a feature, but it was killed. Now some friends (including FiTR San Francisco correspondent Tracy Van Dyk -- @tracyjane) find themselves there, and are sending me back pictures of the awful food that's part of the package. And it claims to be authentically medieval. And, yeah, I'm King Arthur.

​More architectural element than food, jellied cranberry sauce from a can has long been an immutable fixture of the Thanksgiving table.

There is no worse holiday for the true foodie than Thanksgiving. Cooking it is like being trapped in a crashing rocket ship, with a joystick that doesn't respond. Try to change the menu one iota, and all you get are sour looks. Everyone wants the same knee-jerk menu year after year after year. Yet we eat it and like it. Here are the five worst dishes associated with the holiday that we hate the most.

​On Journal Square's main drag in Jersey City, the prominent legal offices of Anise & Anise

After a voluminous meal of dosas, iddlies, and other South Indian brunch items in Jersey City, and groggy from so much food, a friend and I stumbled on the law offices of Anise & Anise. Pretty funny foodie name, right? But does their practice involve viands?

Palindrome time!

​
Right now it's 11:11 and 11 seconds on November 11! This perfect palindrome of a date is a super-rare occurrence, and making it even more awesome of a day is that it's also the holiest day EVER for the Corduroy Appreciation Club (it's also Veterans Day and Armistice Day, but those are way less entertaining holidays). They'll be celebrating with the Annual Grand 111111 Meeting, a powwow where attendees must wear three items of corduroy. We reached out to the club to learn what foods they'd be celebrating the momentous occasion with, but they unfortunately didn't return our requests for an interview. Fear not, though -- we've come up with our own list of awesome foods that resemble corduroy so you, too, can celebrate the Date Which Most Closely Resembles Corduroy EVER.

​"Mixcan" must have been the way Davy Crockett said it as Santa Ana's armies were bearing down on the Alamo.

Menu misspellings are common enough; indeed Fork in the Road did a catalog of them last year. But you see misspelled signs, too, on restaurants and vending carts. Here are some of our favorites, encountered over the last couple of months.

Drop da roasted beet.

​How did we miss this one? YouTube sensation and boozing home cook Hannah Hart, best known for her high-larious "My Drunk Kitchen" videos, made a music video last month. With all the food-blogs-turned-cookbooks nowadays, seems like it's about time for some poor, drunk-girl-gone-viral to wrangle herself a record deal. "Show Me Where Ya Noms At" already has some 400,000 hits. Not that this should come as a surprise: Food and music have always gone together.

Echoing and denying Marie Antoinette's admonition to "Let them eat cake," OWS took the protest to Washington Square Park Saturday afternoon, complete with call-and-response slogans and plenty of homemade signs, often humorous.
