That story captures the essence of the Cantonese attitude to food.

The Pillsbury company recently announced the death of their long time advertising icon, the Pillsbury doughboy, who died of a terminal yeast infection after being poked in the stomach too many times.

Stop.....you guys are making me laugh. The death of of P.doughboy is a tragedy.........any one collecting some bread for a flour arrangement....... or is that being too tacky?

I wonder if there's an expiration date stamped on his coffin?

No matter how rich I get, I can't picture spending more than a hundred bucks on a dinner -- let alone a couple hundred bucks just for some truffle shavings.

The wikipedia article on truffles is pretty interesting. Apparently there's an untapped market in truffle cultivation at the moment -- demand outstrips supply by a factor of 50.
