• Jessi Klein Hates Foodies
  "Let me be clear: I really love eating and I love food. I think anyone who knows how to cook anything is a genius, and I always appreciate the time and love that goes into a home-made meal. And I love going to restaurants. I love menus and forks and appetizers and the anticipation of desserts. But I hate that foodies feel like every meal has to have the same wow-factor as their birthday blowjob. I once tried to make dining plans with a foodie friend and it took over ninety minutes to agree on a place that met all of her qualifications for ambiance, cuisine, and service. You would have thought we were negotiating Israeli borders."

• Alcapurria - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
  Alcapurria is a dish from Puerto Rico made from a mixture of ground plantains and yautía or green banana and yautía or yuca, filled with ground beef or crab meat and deep fried in oil. Many Puerto Ricans enjoy this dish and are often found eating it at the beach with friends. "Alcapurrias" are also one of the many dishes served on the kiosko stands.
