Food News: What type of Tastykake would Obama prefer?, world’s largest cheese cutting and ‘Give us some beer or else.’

 

 

[ ]   We noticed this photo whilst going through a post off the Obama blog and openly wondered: What TastyKake would the Senator from Illinois most prefer?

Our guess: Kandy Kakes. The result…Butterscotch Krimpets!

From the post:
 
    Maxwell James Ulrich was near the campus of Pennsylvania State University when he allegedly confronted two men carrying four cases of Natural Light beer early Sunday morning , according to the Centre Daily Times newspaper, which quoted the criminal complaint against Ulrich.
    Ulrich allegedly said “Give us some beer or else.”
 
It's come to this: Stealing Natty Light....Can we get a stimulus in this piece?

From the post:
 
That cracking sound you hear at 3 p.m. on Saturday will be 2-year-old wheels of cheese splitting open all over the country.
 
Cheesemongers at all 270 Whole Foods markets in the United States, Canada and the United Kingdom will crack open 85-pound wheels of aged Parmigiano Reggiano cheese at the same time Saturday afternoon in an attempt to set a world record.
 
Breaking into one of these huge cheese wheels is an ancient Italian art….
 
   And there’s a promo video, bitches!
   Wonder how those ancient Italians feel about all that vegan stuff at Whole Foods. And those non-sequitur birthday cards.
