The Greatest Food Culture Site Ever*
Sausage is a short animated film by Robert Grieves. It begins adorably with two street-food vendors — one selling hand-reared sausage, the other with freshly-baked artisan breads.
It isn’t until a new mustache-twirling food vendor moves in and starts stealing their customers, that the two have to get creative in order to survive. Then, with a little help from sausage sandwiches and innuendo, the plans of the bad guy are thwarted. Sausage sandwiches solve everything.

Hamsters are the cutest. And, when they try to be people, the adorbz is off the charts. Twitter user Kawanabesatou knows this, and has created a series of his hamsters posing as bartenders and sushi chefs. Two sakis, rodent!

Anyone who’s been stopping by Foodiggity over the past few years, already knows that we hold a special place in our heart for the McDonald’s McRib.
Not that I’d actually ingest one… it’s just that the sandwich, which I once referred to as ‘McDonald’s most egregious acts of culinary terrorism,’ provides wonderful material for a website such as ours.
Now, after some controversy arose from what looked like fiberglass insulation being identified as a pre-cooked McRib, McDonald’s took action to help dispel the McConspiracy.
Recently, McDonald’s actually invited a few skeptics to their pork processing center to see how a McRib is made. And, to Foodiggity’s and anyone who’s ever seen a McRib’s surprise — there is actually some quality pork involved, and no fiberglass anywhere. Still do not want.

If you’re looking for the greatest Simpsons-related cake possible, you should choo-choo-choose the Cutout Ralph Wiggum Cake.
Created by Kylie Mangles of Freshly Squeez’d, the cake was inspired by a Threadless t-shirt illustration by graphic artist Eric Flores.
The Cutout Ralph Wiggum was submitted to Threadcakes, which encourages folks to recreate Threadless art in baked-goods-form. The best part, according to the cake’s maker, is that the cake was delicious, and doesn’t taste like grandma or burning. Vote for it here.

Ready… aim… fire up some slices with the Quick-Draw Pizza Cutter. Perfect for any pizza party filled with gun enthusiasts, the polished chrome shooter is riveted to a stainless steel pizza blade.
Although it’s a six-shooter, the cutter should have no problem taking down eight slices. Just don’t point it at anyone, as it’s always loaded.
