Spicy veggie patty sounds yummy. Never heard of that in Canada.

I came here to say the same thing. Shocking to see her linked to on boingboing.

You really need to update the thumbnail description. It is unethical to drive traffic to her website without a disclaimer (as weakly worded as yours is).

Canola is a variety of rapeseed bred in Canada (hence Canola) to have only trace amounts of the toxic erucic acid.
The unfortunately named plant is quite beautiful.

Itâs important not to link to Foodbabe. Clearly, there are many people who are not familiar with Foodbabe and their poor fragile eggshell minds would be shattered forever if they were exposed to Foodbabe. In fact I think that bOINGbOING, as a leader of free thought on the Intertubes, would be terribly misguided to permit Foodbabe links in comments, much less Foodbabe links in posts. Censorship of opinion is a central guiding premise of the Internet, after all, and by linking to Foodbabe one would clearly be working against the free thought that only self-imposed censorship allows.
PS: Beer that doesnât conform to the Vorläufiges Biergesetz of 1993 isnât really beer, itâs at best a processed beer product, in the same sense that American Cheese is technically a processed cheese product.

Grown in the UK primarily for the oil, in other parts of the world the leaves are eaten as âcabbageâ.
Spam barely counts as food, babe.

the mealie-meal looks similar to cream of wheat. i take it that it is a starchy vegetable that had been dehydrated?
No, that would be rice. In fact, over there McDonaldâs even services rice with some of their breakfasts.
Although Hawaiâi is (supposedly?) the highest consumer of Spam per capita, I think most of that is in Spam Musubi, which while popular, isnât something that everybody eats every single day.
In the UK, because of about 10% contamination with minerals (âmarlâ) that give its pinkish tinge, mined Cheshire rock salt is unsuitable for cooking and is typically used only for gritting roads (in the order of millions of tonnes annually). A small amount is also used for animal salt licks, etc.
Most cooking salt in the UK (57% of the market in 2006) comes from British Salt, in Middlewich, under the Saxa name, and under supermarket own-brands. This salt is generated from brine from Warmingham, and contains max 0.1% impurities. Which, apparently, donât include significant iodine, so my wife doesnât react to it 
Knowing how much duck fat costs, I call BS on this. If they used duck fat the owner knew it, unless the chef was dropping some serious coin from their own pocket.
You have a problem with hydrolyzed foods? Do you know what âHydrolyzedâ means? It is the process of adding WATER to something so that it breaks down. My God man, are you really that daft, and careless to have an issue with a processes you donât even understand? You people are the problem with the world. You have no scientific background, and as a result post sensational trash like this. Get out a God damn dictionary for once in your life and look up the stuff you are afraid of because it has a big and scary word. Christ.
Unless they also roasted a lot of ducks. Duck fat can be as plentiful as bacon fat if you make enough duck dishes.
