MetaChat survey. Be honest, now How much food do you normally download off the internet? (Extra points if you use bit torrent.)

And no, I don’t work for the FDA.

I only download appetizers. Chicken wings, jalapeno poppers, stuff like that. Shorter download times. Beverages download especially quickly, except milkshakes.

i download multicourse feasts weekly (or every other week), full of both foreign and domestic flavors. Of course often they're not as tasty as they seem, but what the hell. : >

full of both foreign and domestic flavors.

I try to download ethnic food, but translation difficulties make the search a pain in the the neck. Not to mention, special orders are tough. You ever try to download a Rueben Sandwich, hold the Russian Dressing. It ain't easy, I tell ya, Boolean algebra is required.

I stay away from heavy foreign content downloads, or an upload is sure to follow.

I found some good links in case anyone wants to download.

Oh, the famed chefboyartorrent is the absolute best, i find--his menus are the widest. That young upstart Chef Mininova bears watching too.

I'm so addicted to downloading food that it's silly. I've got way more food over here than I could ever eat, but I just can't stop. Pretty soon I'm gonna have to look into getting some more storage space for my food, probably off newegg or something. I just downloaded a bootlegged Black Forest Ham. Those thugs at the NPPC can blow it out their ass!!!!

I just wish I had a better food printer; anything below 1200 bits per calorie just doesn't bring out the full flavor.

All my food was tasteless til I got one of them newfangled color fatjet printers, wendell. I hear HewlettBaskinPackardRobbins will be having a special on them soon. Watch out, though! One time a fatjet cartridge broke before I got it fully installed and it took weeks for the smell to come out.

Is that the printers with the special code so the government can check on what you are eating?

Having a very slow connection, I limit myself to liquids only: nothing thicker than a chocolate malt.

Ethnic food, American food, fast food, rare delicacies--I just can't get enough. I'd like to think I'm an epicure, but sometimes it seems like I'm just a glutton.

box, I think it has to do with how long you wait before eating it.

Downloading pictures of food off the internet is cheaper than buying food. Better for my diet, too.
