Sausagegate (Pretty old, but I stumbled upon it today)

A black mark on the storied history of the Sausage Race. The Italian sausage is cruelly assaulted in what became known as the "Randall Simon Incident" or "Sausagegate."

Quote of the Week

“A human being is primarily a bag for putting food into; the other functions and faculties may be more godlike, but in point of time they come afterwards. A man dies and is buried, and all his words and actions are forgotten, but the food he has eaten lives after him in the sound or rotten bones of his children. I think it could be plausibly argued that changes of diet are more important than changes of dynasty or even of religion....Yet it is curious how seldom the all-importance of food is recognized. You see statues everywhere to politicians, poets, bishops, but none to cooks or bacon-curers or market gardeners.”
― George Orwell, The Road to Wigan Pier

“	A gourmet who thinks of calories is like a tart who looks at her watch.	”
