Hiya all welcome the New Year.
This raises for me the question: Is it ever acceptable to eat a meat pie with a knife and fork. I don’t mean those gourmet fancy nancy kinda ones, I mean your Big Ben type pie.

Bruny Island
What a grim few weeks it’s been foodie posting wise. While
waiting for some real news to come along, you might like to check out my short
blog on my culinary toe-dipping in Bruny Island.

The Oatmeal
And a cute cartoon from one of my favourite online
cartoonists.
I remember when all Australian country towns had only one
Asian restaurant, the Chinese, Happily I don't recall ever getting diarrhoea
from any of them. Hmmmm...is MSG and anti-diarrhoeatic?

New York Mayor Bill de Blasio’s First
Scandal: pizza with a knife and fork
“New York: The pizza arrived, steaming and
delectable, a smoked-mozzarella-and-sausage pie presented to mayor Bill de
Blasio like a gilded offering to a visiting caliph.
The New York mayor, on a pilgrimage on Friday to Goodfellas,
the venerable Staten Island pizzeria, smiled, nodded at his slice and then
proceeded to do the unthinkable: eat it with a knife and fork.”

The milk revolution
“It could be that a large proportion of Europeans are
descended from the first lactase-persistent dairy farmers in Europe,”
Quite a lovely article that shows how questions about food
tolerances and practices can lead to understanding, or at least theorising,
human migration patterns.
