The Popeye's sandwich is also simple, just deliciouser.

Keep in mind, it is still just a chicken sandwich. It's not worth waiting in a long line.

What kind? There's an empanada shop across the street from my dentist that has about 2 dozen different varieties (including some breakfast empanadas). A friend of mine makes some with a filling he first had in Chile called "7 layers of hell." It is not bland.

In related news the chicken nuggets people say taste very close to Chick-fil-a are now not only at Sam's but also in the walmart. They are the nicest nuggets I've ever bought from a grocery store.

Burger King was sued on Monday by a vegan customer who accused the fast-food chain of contaminating its meatless "Impossible" Whoppers by cooking them on the same grills as its traditional meat burgers.

In a proposed class action, Phillip Williams said he bought an Impossible Whopper, a plant-based alternative to Burger King's regular Whopper, at an Atlanta drive-through, and would not have paid a premium price had he known the cooking would leave it "coated in meat by-products."

The lawsuit filed in Miami federal court seeks damages for all U.S. purchasers of the Impossible Whopper, and an injunction requiring Burger King to "plainly disclose" that Impossible Whoppers and regular burgers are cooked on the same grills.
...
Impossible Foods Inc, which helped create the Impossible Whopper, has said it designed the product for meat eaters who want to consume less animal protein, not for vegans or vegetarians.

"For people who are strictly vegan, there is a microwave prep procedure that they're welcome to ask for in any store," Dana Worth, Impossible Foods' head of sales, said in a recent interview.

This is why I haven’t pulled the trigger. I have no truck with mayo or pickles. I feel that everyone that likes it is into it for the accoutrements.

Those ads always amuse me when I see them on the boards of a rink in a Canadian city.

But here's the truth: spinach doesn't have much more iron than other leafy greens like broccoli and Brussels sprouts. One cup of raw spinach has .81 milligrams of iron, while the same amount of broccoli has .66 mg. Kale has .24 mg, and brussels sprouts have 1.2 mg per cup, even more than the cup of raw spinach.

There's even some evidence that spinach might inhibit iron absorption.

Who is eating broccoli leaves? I always discard the leaves when prepping the crowns or stalks.

B. Because Broccoli is freaking awesome!

Also, Broccoli, Collard greens, kale, kohlrabi, cauliflower, brussel sprouts and cabbage are all the same plant - they have just been selected for different aspects. Like dogs, look different, all the same.

Recently I learned that what I grew up with as tater tot casserole Amy Klobuchar would call "hotdish".

The battle for breakfast gains a new entrant on March 2.

That's when Wendy's enters the ring and debuts its highly anticipated menu for the increasingly competitive timeslot. The launch comes six months after the fast food chain announced it wanted in on this growing category.
