Hunger As Total-Body Experience

Have you ever woken up in the morning with an all-consuming craving for goose fat, pork fat, and a gigantic heaping platter of dubious yet thrilling sausages and fermented cabbage? Have you ever woken up in the morning with an all-consuming craving for the mother of all choucroutes garni?

(Except: what the hell is with "authentic" sauerkraut recipes using g-d d-mn frankfurters and nothing else?! Weisswurst! Blutwurst! Knockwurst! Boudin blanc! Pork chops! Smoked pork! Kielbasa! Duck! Bacon! Ham hocks! And then-- and only then-- hot dogs. Jesus christ!!)

More like this. Ahhhhhh.

(Someone get me a glass of Reisling, stat. I'm going into palpitations here.)

"Me, I can't usually eat 'em 'cause my girlfriend's a vegetarian. Which more or less makes me a vegetarian, but I sure love the taste of a good
burger."

Which is pretty much how it is. Most days if I want a quick dinner I get down with a quick bowl of edamame and brown jasmine rice with kosher salt and sesame oil and some sort of green vegetable (which is shockingly delicious), and if I have more time I'll make up a stirfry with tofu and asian vegetables in a ginger-chilli sauce.

But that doesn't negate the deliciousness of the occasional hunk of meat.
