Mmmm...Jam....
Happy Canadian Thanksgiving to all my fellow canuckleheads. I hope you all enjoy your food comas. I was in the midst of mine when it occurred to me to propose a theme: FOOD WEEK. All the tasty tasty comics featuring, involving, or instructing one how to make food. How about it?

For my first contribution, I offer some lovely recipes in comic form.

First, Hannah from Jill Thompson's wonderful all ages comic Scary Godmother will show us how to make a sammich.

Next, the author of the webcomic Friendly Hostility takes a moment to tell you all about empanadas.

I made those when a houseguest left behind some beer. Nobody in my house drinks beer. But, as it turns out, everybody eats empanadas.

Next, a short segment from a Naruto Kakashi/Iruka doujinshi scanlated by Attractive Fascinante, titled "Hibiki". Did you know that porn can be educational and satisfy non-sexual appetites as well as sexual? IT'S TRUE!

(Note: This particular segment not actually porny. Unless you have a cucumber kink. In which case, party on.)

Lastly, for now, a scene from Kinou Nani Tabeta (What Did You Eat Yesterday), by Fumi Yoshinaga, the mangaka singlehandedly responsible for at least five pounds worth of weight gain. In this scene: JAM!

....What the hell. I just had a turkey dinner a couple of hours ago. I cannot be hungry again.

(shakes fist) YOSHINAGAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!

Sigh. I am off to make some toast with jam. Happy snacking, y'all.

???

Isn't that how most people have toast with jam? It's how I just had mine. Jammy things have to be spread with SOMETHING else, or the bread gets all soaked and gross.

I usually go with butter. Unless I'm in a peanut butter mood. Or I have some clotted cream. Mmm. Clotted cream. Damn, I wish I had me some clotted cream. Hey, I whipped some cream to go with berries for thanksgiving dessert, and I wonder what that would taste like with blackberry jam and OH GODDAMMIT.

	... NO. At home, it's either butter, or jam. But not both. D: (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	How about neither? I never eat anything on my toast(both because I don't eat butter/jam and because I like seeing the Hello Kitty face on it as I eat it). (Reply to this) (Parent)

	arilou_skiff 2009-10-12 10:05 am UTC (link)
	Agreed. I don't use jam (sometimes marmalade) but damn, you can't do both butter and jam. Well, sometimes toast>butter>cheese>marmalade but that's a different beast. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	You should try it. It's pretty darn good. They complement eachother's tastes quite nicely. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	I think you are confused about how to have jam on toast. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	icon_uk 2009-10-12 08:58 am UTC (link)
	Yeah, sorry dude, but I think you're seriously in a minority there, whilst buttered toast is wonderful in and of itself, I'd never have jam on toast WITHOUT butter. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	Blasphemous lieeeeeeeeeeeessssssssss. Butter adds to it the creamy texture! :O (Reply to this) (Parent)

	Agreed. It's one or the other, people. Are you all Texans or something? Jeebus. Just because you can put everything on a piece of toast doesn't mean you should. It's this kind of slippery slope that led to the Goshdarnwich - http://twitpic.com/l4q7b (Reply to this) (Parent)

	ian_karkull 2009-10-12 12:50 pm UTC (link)
	Yeah, that seems to be the customary way to do it, but I agree, it's pretty disgusting. Of course, I've banned butter from the breakfast table completely ages ago, for being absolutely taste- and pointless. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	kaetepixie 2009-10-12 12:58 pm UTC (link)
	I can see banning butter for health reasons (I don't use it myself except for baking and a few rare recipes) but to say it doesn't do anything to the taste of food is to ignore centuries of cooking knowledge. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Surely taste is a subjective experience, though. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	ian_karkull 2009-10-12 05:36 pm UTC (link)
	Using butter to bake is perfectly fine (and delicious!), but I'm inclined to think that people only started smearing butter on their bread to store up some fat for hard times. Sure, fat enhances taste, but I really get enough of that in my horrible, horrible diet, I really don't need to smear it on my toast in concentrated form too. :D (Reply to this) (Parent)

I wonder if it's a regional thing. I personally do one or the other, but when I lived in England when I was a kid, it was toast -> butter -> whatever else on bread. Which tasted a little odd to me.

don't know if it was the area I lived in, or the time or what, but all my British friends were totally grossed out and had never heard of peanut butter and jelly. Even accounting for the jelly is actually jam in England thing. (Are we sure that we're all speaking the same language, here?)

	So I started reading "What Did You Eat Yesterday" almost immediatly after this whas posted and it's a riot. It's also by the same woman that did Antique Bakery. Clearly gay and food tastes good together. Morning sure have a good and varied stable of titles. (Reply to this)

So that first one is basically Jill Thompson's favorite pizza toppings with salad stuff added to the mix, yes? Or is she saying that it's that recipe PLUS any other of your favorite toppings? Assuming for the moment that it's the former... Let's see, now - my favorite pizza toppings are ham and pineapple... and sausage... and... that's about it. There used to be a pizza place nearby that put all three on their Hawaiian pizzas, with a bit of chopped onion - goooooood pizza. So let's add onion to the mix, too.
So let's see, uh... that makes cheese, tomatoes, chopped sausage, pineapple, a bit of onion, ham, lettuce, and salad dressing - only I'm not a salad dressing person, so let's make it mayonnaise instead, which is what I put on my salad. Plus a little salt. So all that on garlic bread... hmm... Y'know, actually, that sounds REALLY good. A tad mixed-up, but good. I'm tempted to try it. The empanadas don't sound bad, either. Dammitall, I just had a snack, and now I'm all hungry again.
We should do a recipe week. There MUST be more comic book recipes out there - in fact, I KNOW there are, since several of them have already been posted on here.

	I'd like to see more recipe comics too. I bet I'm not the only one who's ever had trouble imagining what to do from a sparsely written recipe. Yoshinaga just puts everyone else to shame here ... every panel of that looks delicious. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	When I was reading online manga a lot (worse than TV Tropes, seriously), I was really into Yakitate! Japan! and Addicted to Curry, both of which had loads of food advice in them. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	What a great collection of scans! Love it! (Reply to this)

	I second the idea of a food week. May I request the recipe of Olliver Queen's Chili con carne? ^^ Or was it posted recently? (Reply to this)

	ravenous_raven 2009-10-12 03:18 pm UTC (link)
	if we're having a recipe week, can I request scans from "The Manga Cookbook"? I've only glanced over it once but now I'm itching for recipes... and I love that pg 67, panel 6 has proved I am not the only one who eats spagehetti with soy sauce :) (Reply to this)

	Nice, but the Kinou Nani Tabeta translator slipped up on p. 66: a jar with a 9 millimeter diameter is really only good for a dollhouse... (Reply to this)
