"Full and complete" story of meat from the ranches and farms of America to the dinner table. Talks about how protein from meat is important to human body. Also about the entire meat process - from livestock ranchers to transportation to stockyards to meatpacking to your grocery store. Missing the slaughterhouse though. Then we see a butcher explaining about how to get four meals out of one shank of ham.
Whoa, Cheeseburger Flavored Doritos
So I've been pretty hesitant to try the new-ish Doritos Late Night: All Nighter Cheeseburger chips. I mean, cheeseburger flavored Doritos? No. But a coworker of mine bought some, so I tried them, because hey, free chips. Holy crap, they taste like freaking cheeseburgers. I'm not talking about those chips that taste mildly like what they claim to taste like, I am talking spot on, cheeseburger. You taste the onions, mustard, ketchup, cheese, pickle and smokey delicious beef. Honestly, they kind of tripped me out. My mouth tasted burger while my eyes saw chips, and it sort of screwed with my brain.But in conclusion, I recommend you give them a try if you are a fan of chips or burgers or both. Oh, and here is a fun trick you can play on your vegetarian friends; they are made with natural beef flavoring, use your imagination.
22 Sausages from Around the World
Second only to bacon, sausage is the love of my food life. It is considered the prince of meats, to the bacon king. It is so greasy and delicious that it makes my heart flutter just thinking about it. No, wait, that was a heart palpitation. Maybe I should lay off the pork products.
Anywho, sausage is made, eaten and enjoyed all over the world. There are as many variations as there are countries it seems. Here are 22 examples of delicious sausage from 22 different countries representing all the continents, except Antarctica.
England:
Saveloy - A saveloy is a type of highly seasoned pork sausage, usually bright red in color, which is served in English fish and chip shops, sometimes fried in batter.
Croatia:
Kulen - Kulen is a type of flavored sausage made of minced pork. The meat is low-fat, rather brittle and dense, and the flavor is spicy. The red paprika gives it aroma and color, and garlic adds spice.
Germany:
Bockwurst - The sausage is traditionally made from ground veal and pork. In modern Germany, however, it is made from different types of ground meat, such as pork, lamb, turkey, and chicken. Bockwurst is flavored with salt, white pepper and paprika. Other spices, such as chives and parsley, are often also added and in Germany itself bockwurst is often smoked as well.
Hungary:
Gyulai - It is named after the Hungarian town of Gyula. The sausage may be cut into thin slices and eaten alone or with bread. They are also added to many Hungarian dishes.
Italy:
Cotechino Modena - Fresh sausage made from pork, fatback, and pork rind, and comes from Modena, Italy.
Netherlands:
Rookworst - Rookworst is a smoked sausage. It is often eaten with stamppot, a vegetable mash.
Denmark:
Medisterpølse - A thick, spicy sausage made of minced pork stuffed into pig intestines. The spices generally used are allspice, cloves, salt and pepper. (Photo: (c) Nillerdk CC-BY-SA)
Sweden:
Falukorv - Falukorv is a large traditional Swedish sausage made of a grated mixture of pork and beef or veal with potato starch flour and mild spices.
Finland:
Mustamakkara - Mustamakkara is a type of Finnish blood sausage traditionally eaten with lingonberry jam. Mustamakkara is made by mixing pork, pig blood, crushed rye and flour, after which it is stuffed into the intestines of an animal like most sausages.
Poland:
Kabanos - Kabanos is an Polish sausage made of pork. They are most commonly dry to very dry in texture and smoky in flavor. Kabanos is often seasoned only with pepper.
Switzerland:
Cervelat - Cervelat is a type of cooked sausage consisting of a mixture of beef, bacon and pork rind that is packed into zebu intestines, slightly smoked and then boiled.
Turkey:
Sujuk - Sujuk consists of ground meat (usually beef) with various spices including cumin, sumac, garlic, salt, and red pepper, fed into a sausage casing and allowed to dry for several weeks. It can be more or less spicy; it is fairly salty and has a high fat content.
United States of America:
Breakfast sausage - Made from uncooked ground pork mixed with pepper, sage, and other spices.
Mexico:
Chorizo - Made out of pork or beef salivary glands. It is fresh and usually deep red in color.
Argentina:
Longaniza - Like chorizo, but very long, cured and dried, and gets its particular flavor from ground anise seeds. This results in a very particular aroma, and a mildly sweet flavour that contrasts with the strong salty taste of the stuffing.
China:
Lap Cheong - Dried pork sausages that look and feel like pepperoni, but are much sweeter.
South Korea:
Sundae - A form of blood sausage, traditional in Korea. A popular street food, sundae is normally prepared by steaming or boiling cow or pig intestines stuffed with various ingredients. The most common variation is composed of pork blood, cellophane noodles, and barley stuffed into pig intestines.
Philippines:
Longaniza - There are regional varieties such as Vigan (with lots of garlic and not sweet) Lucban (lots of oregano and pork fat is chunky) Most longanisas contain Prague powder and are hardly smoked and usually sold fresh.
Thailand:
Sai-Ua - Made with minced pork as well as herbs and chilli paste.
North Africa:
Merguez is a red, spicy sausage from Morocco, Algeria, Tunisia and Libya, North Africa. Merguez is made with lamb, beef, or a mixture of both. It can be flavored with a wide range of spices, such as sumac for tartness, and paprika, Cayenne pepper, or harissa, a hot chili paste that gives it a red color. It is stuffed into a lamb casing, rather than a pork casing. It is traditionally made fresh and eaten grilled or with couscous.
South Africa:
Boerewors - Made from coarsely minced beef and spices (usually toasted coriander seed, black pepper, nutmeg, cloves and allspice). It is preserved with salt and vinegar, and packed in sausage casings.
Australia:
Devon - Some would classify it as a luncheon meat. It is similar in appearance and taste to boloney. It is usually composed of several types of pork, basic spices, and a binder.

12 Unique Spatulas
A spatula, also called a turner, a fish slice in the UK, an egg slice, a flipper in Canadian English, or an egg flipper or tosser in Hiberno-English, is a kitchen utensil with a long handle and a broad flat edge, used for lifting and turning fried foods.
The word spatula, known in English since 1525, is a diminutive form of the Latin term spatha, which means a broad sword (as in spatharius) or a flat piece of wood and is also the origin of the words spade (digging tool) and spathe.
What? Don't judge me. It's hard thinking of ideas for new posts. Jerk.
A peppermint candy spatula.
An egg spatula.
Worlds largest spatula?
Sky rockets in flight, afternoon delight.
I'm guessing that's an egg or something on the handle.
Folding spatulas. Nice idea.
Butt shaped spatula. I suppose you could also view it as heart shaped.
Fish spatula.
Comes with a built in thermometer.
It's a BBQ sword spatula, for some reason.
Pepper, apple, pumpkin spatulas.
Rock out with your cook out.

10 Extreme Wedding Cakes
Wedding season is upon us, and that means it’s time for all the usual customs, from save-the-dates and registries to showers and parties. One of the most beloved traditions of any wedding is the cutting of the cake—but in today’s world of Ace of Cakes, a cake is no longer just a cake. From a Harry Potter-themed groom’s cake to a multilayered pagoda-shaped confection, check out 10 outrageous tiered treats below.
10 Classic Sitcoms Recast
First it was Beverly Hills, 90210, and then it was Melrose Place. Networks even tried to bring back The Bionic Woman in 2007. Now networks have added The Rockford Files, Charlie’s Angels and Hawaii Five-O to their line-ups for next fall. But most TV remakes so far have been disappointing at best and monumental failures at worst. So why do they keep trying? Maybe the problem isn’t doing remakes, but the shows they’re choosing...or the actors they’re casting. So to help the networks out, we’ve chosen 10 shows we’d love to see remade, and picked whom we’d like to resurrect them from television history.
12 Cool Cardboard Sculptures
Biodegradable art is all the rage, with artists using anything from old newspapers to cardboard. But the artists who choose cardboard, a.k.a. “heavy-duty paper,” do so for its structural strength. It also happens to be cheap. Whether the materials are straight out of the trash or brand-new, we’ve collected 12 examples of what a creative mind can do. From Japanese architect Shigeru Ban's river-spanning "Cardboard Bridge" to artist Chris Gilmour’s “Aston Martin,” check out the 12 masterpieces that follow.
