Today is not a good day to eat like a fatty. In fact, don’t even eat OUT. Go home and make something awesome, like a Jim Connolly Birthday Sandwich.

We just got werd that Procter and Gamble is recalling some of its sexiest Pringle flavors ever: “Restaurant Cravers Cheeseburger” and “Family Faves Taco Night” are both GONERS. The reason is due to tainted nasty HPV – (not Human Papaloma Virus) Salmonella-tainted hydrolyzed vegetable protein.

The tainting is causing grief for other companies too – Nestle Professional North America just recalled for about 6,000 pounds (3 TONS, approximately 24.5 pigs-worth) of ready-to-eat bacon, and Ruiz Foods is recalling ready-to-eat beef, whatever the hell that is.

For more info on the awful Pringle situation, watch this video, yo.

Under a new law against animal abuse in China, individuals in caught eating either cat or dog meat could face a fine of 5,000 yuan (approximately $735) or up to 15 days in prison. Businesses involved in the practice could be fined up to 500,000 yuan (or $7,325), according to the Times Online.

The draft going to Parliament in April would be first law against animal abuse by a new, increasingly animal-loving Chinese society that no longer has the taste for canine and feline meat.

Dog meat appeared in Chinese cuisine as early as the third century B.C. and is long believed to provide warmth to those who eat it. Restaurants offering dog — or “fragrant meat” as it’s often poetically referred to — appear throughout the entire nation. Its “warming” property makes it particularly popular in winter stews and the frigid northeastern region of China.

Cat meat, however, is primarily consumed by the people of the southern Guangdong province. Cat is not as popular because of an old superstition that the feline will come back at night to retaliate.

Waking up to a vengeful minx? No thanks. We’ll leave the tail-wagging eating to Andrew Zimmern and Anthony Bourdain.

Crap is a delicious type of food. Especially spread on toast.

Announcing the Foodenator Food Pickenator!

Mr Bean has nothing to do with food, most of the time. Today, bean puts hits nuts on the line and makes a sandwich.

After this tipoff from PAO food experts, Foodenator Editor in Chief went on a little hunt for the world’s nerdiest burger, aka, the Windows 7 Whopper. Yeah – 7 burgs, to celebrate a new Window on the World.

Peanut Gallery:

“I choked on my chicken”

“Meat. Its meat. My god, its meat.”

“NO onion rings?”

“Needs more mayo. Those Japanese don’t know what they are doing”

I personally cannot wait to eat the hell out of this new world.

When your lunch box, or bag, starts to smell, you know you’ve had too many hamsandwiches without a proper cleaning. Do you you clean it though?

Your handy dandy Foodenators did some searching and found the best possible tips.

CLEAN: Place a paper towel dampened with white household vinegar inside. Leave overnight. In the morning, discard towel, then wash the bag or box and dry well. When it’s not in use, leave the lid open to air out.

MORON ALERT: Dispose of food scraps and wrappers as soon as possible, then use a napkin to wipe off the inside surface.
