You were right

Posted: 19th March 2010 by Cubey Terra in Mmm... food, RL

Dear bald chef at Steveston Pizza,
You were right. The salmon pizza (“Mist”) was freakin’ amazing. Thanks for the recommendation.
Everyone else: if you’re anywhere near Steveston Pizza, stop dithering and pick up the phone to order something awesome.

(Edit: Let me interrupt this pizza-eating session to point out: this is REAL frickin’ crab on my pizza. Real [...]

Not entirely relevant experience

Posted: 13th October 2009 by Cubey in Mmm... food, RL

Sometimes strange memories surface randomly of my days studying theatre at the University of BC. Such as climbing onto the roof during a cast party and not noticing that I’d planted my foot firmly in the centre of a ham and pineapple pizza because I was startled by the party-goers relieving themselves over the edge [...]

Can you spot the differences?

Again, today I step away from Second Life to look at food.
I’m not a picky eater. I’ll dig into Kraft Dinner as eagerly as a proper macaroni dish, and not complain that it tastes like petrochemicals. After all, Kraft Dinner has no pretentions of being more than it actually is: crappy dried pasta with fake [...]

Avocado ripening myth

Posted: 23rd September 2008 by Cubey in Mmm... food, RL

Today I set aside my Second Life endeavours to explore a myth that’s very important to me. Or at least to my stomach.
Picture this: Craving a little guacamole for your chips, you buy a couple of avocados at the supermarket. When you bring them home, your heart sinks when you realize they’re hard as rocks! [...]

Should I eat this?

Posted: 7th January 2008 by Cubey in Mmm... food, RL

Taking a short break from Second Life, I discovered these interesting items at a local specialty supermarket. Now… I usually avoid sketchy canned meat products — they’re often made from second rate meats from unidentified parts of the anatomy of occasionally unidentifiable animals. Canned seafood is even worse. But there’s something intriguing about these “Old [...]

Giant squid found in Tasmania

A giant squid has washed up on a beach in Tasmania. ” It would not taste very nice at all,” scientist says. I ask you… if you can’t make truck-wheel-size calamari, what use is it?

Bi-directional pizza

Posted: 19th September 2006 by Cubey in Mmm... food, RL

I’m glad I tried Panago’s new “steak and blue cheese” pizza last night. Now I know where to find pizza that tastes the same going down as it does coming back up!

Important picnic area rules

Posted: 19th July 2006 by Cubey in Mmm... food, RL

I laughed my ass off when I saw this one. No kidding… it fell off and hit the floor with a meaty thunk. My dad snapped this photo in a picnic area on Galiano Island, BC. I just had to post it.

Naturally, if you’re eating children, you want to keep the dogs tied up [...]

VANCOUVER — Tragedy struck in the early hours of the morning, when an unexpected death occurred in the home of virtual vehicle designer, Cubey Terra. Shortly after 8:00am, Terra’s coffee maker expired, depriving the entire household — namely Cubey Terra — of coffee.
“It was horrible,” said Terra, “When I found it, it was just cold [...]

Having a friend for lunch

Ever wondered… What is it like to eat someone?
Well the wondering is over! HuFu imitates the texture and flavour of human flesh. Great for those vegetarian cannibals on your Christmas list!
