No way I could even eat one pound of meat without
a major gout attack.


Shoot. Reminds me of the guy who opened a resto and offered an all
you can eat baked stuffed shrimp dinner for x dollars. The biggest
guy in town waddled in ( we're talking over 400 lbs here) in and
downed 28 shrimp. Needless to say, THAT offer was deleted from the
menu.

What's a 'baked stuffed shrimp dinner' consist of?

And downing 28 shrimp/prawns is no biggie...... 28 single prawns anyway!!

must have been a small town. I've gone to the most expensive buffet
in town a couple times only to get their spicy kimchi soup when i have
a cold. Both times when I asked for the check the waiters look at me
in astonishment, "Soup. That all!?!?!?!?". And then I ask for some
to go and they happily give me a quart-size take-out container.

I was criticized for calling a Chinese dish, "lied Lice" here a while
ago and the Chinese have just as many harmless stereotypes about White
people as we do about them.


The Chinese possibly have a lot more stereotypes about us, there's a
heck of a lot more of them to work on it.

Here in StL the Chinese seem to pronounce the "f" in flied lice, but
stuff like that really is harmless stereotype. Having grown up in an
all White environment where at least me father was overtly racist, and
now living in a community where my son's best friends are as likely to
be Black as White (tonight he's having a sleepover at a Black friend's
house), sometimes it's hard to walk the line between colorblind and
just accepting certain cultural differences. Last Saturday there was
a performance by a local theatrical troop about the Trail of Tears,
http://stlouis.broadwayworld.com/art...32543_20110314
It really confronted race, and it was kind of bizarre that a Black
woman portrayed President Jackson. We went to see it with a mixed
race group of kids, and I almost cringed a few times at the overuse of
the word, "White," but they all seemed to get it, and asked great
questions afterward. So many kids seem to negotiate the awkwardness
so well, and for them it's not so awkward.
I think that Americans' appreciation of the culinary influences of
diverse groups has to be good. Heck, I've told people oodles of times
that I wished there were more Mexicans in StL so there'd be more
taqueria fare.

No thanks, none of them interest me. Maybe 30 years ago I may have tried
one or two, but not now. The portions are just plain ridiculous to try.

Agreed. But #72 is doesn't require eating tons of food and I love hot
peppers contests, that for sure is the one I wouldn't miss

Attorney Dan Abrams wrote a book called Man Down, and he claims that
women are better at food contests than men. That may or may not be
true, but speaking personally, there is no way I can eat more than my
husband.

In a world with so much hungar, eating contests seem grotesque wouldn't you
say?



Gluttony in a country with so abundant a food supply as the US has no
effect whatsoever on world hunger. In the US there is no concern
about what to eat, the concern is about what not to eat. The US sends
plenty of food etc. to the needy but unfortunately very little finds
its way to the hungry, most ends up in the bellies and pockets of
those few who can well afford anything they want. In the US no one
goes hungry unless they choose to. What's grotesque are contests that
pay some pinheads several millions of dollars a year to toss a ball
around and then yoose juvenile *******s pay hundreds of dollars to
watch while gorging on $10 tube steaks

A Chinese fellow I worked with when he was back home actually believed
that white women keep puppies to you know um give head.

Dictatorships -- communism -- hunger.

Democracy -- capitalism -- eating contests.
Some would call it two different worlds.
