WELCOME TO THE KNIFE & FORK

THE KNIFE & FORK will be a group open to a broad range of food-related topics. You do not have to be a food snob, an epicure, or a bon vivant to join, participate, or enjoy this group. You just have to have the desire to share and explore old and new information on food and dining.

Discussion topics, articles, and questions can include, but are not limited to:

Food history and legend
Ingredient recognition, selection, storage, and preparation
Your favorite recipes, methods, and tips and tricks
Your favorite wines, beers, liquors, or cocktail recipes
Health & nutrition information for adults or children
Food allergy information, warnings, and replacements
Organic foods and pesticide information
Sanitation and food safety / preparation
Product labeling and government regulation
Food and product recalls
Culinary and dining etiquette, rituals, and customs
Food economics
Documentaries, books, cookbooks, and television shows
Bizarre or unusual foods and customs from around the world
Vitamins & supplements (with which you have direct experience)
Diet information (with which you have direct experience)
Agricultural or farming practices related to food quality or availability*

*For this item, please see Borderline Discussion Posts below.

Borderline Discussion Posts
It is inevitable that there will be some crossover in topics and issues related to food production and consumption. I am not forbidding these topics outright, but there may be a better venue for them. Use your best judgment and post the topic in the group that best fits the focus of the discussion. Please do not cross post the same discussion twice in different groups, as it is against Atheist Nexus policy to do so.

If you are interested in food and gardening, it makes more sense to join Godless in the Garden and post your discussions there.
If you are interested in how agriculture and modern farming affect the environment, please join Environmental Atheists.
If you are interested in socio-economic justice, family farms, and fair trade practices, please consider Consumer Ethics instead.
If animal welfare as it relates to food production and consumption is your thing, please join us in Humane Atheists.

Comment by Prog Rock Girl on July 6, 2010 at 9:21am: Some have the rule that if you cook, the other person cleans. Which is why I usually volunteer to cook!

Comment by Dallas the Phallus on July 6, 2010 at 9:00am: Welcome Susan, and all you other new members who have joined lately. Please jump right in.

Comment by Dejah Thoris on July 6, 2010 at 8:53am: Hi Susan--welcome. I really hate the cleanup after cooking as well. Which is why my kids do it! :)

Comment by Dallas the Phallus on June 25, 2010 at 9:00am: @ Sarah: Yeah, I'm a busy body! : )

Actually, I just left about 10 or more groups a few weeks ago. I have fun on sites like this, but it does get overwhelming.

Comment by Sarah Weisiger on June 24, 2010 at 7:47pm: DG: I have noticed that you are on most of the groups I have seen. I always love the "what's for dinner" posts on these types of forums. Thanks for the welcome!

Comment by Dallas the Phallus on June 24, 2010 at 5:31pm: Hi Sarah, welcome to the group. Yes, things go up and down around here. People come and go, too. I spread myself pretty thin these days, so I haven't posted much lately. Like Jaume said, some of us are running out of ideas. Please contribute whatever you'd like. Your breakfast sounded yummy.

Comment by Jaume on June 24, 2010 at 8:18am: It was very active for a few months, maybe too much: it seems we're running short of ideas. Will you give us some?

Comment by Sarah Weisiger on June 24, 2010 at 7:03am: Even though it looks like this group isn't as active as I thought it would be, I'll go ahead and introduce myself. I love food, I love to cook, I love to try new cuisines and foods. I love wine with chocolate. My favorite chocolate is made by Michel Cluizel. Excuse me while I finish my breakfast of eggs scrambled with Field Roast chipotle sausage and a strawberry scone. Happy Eating!
