SNACK TIME: Flognarde you!, Carman's tastes will offend some and thrill others, Blogalicious begins terrible twos, most clicked ain't what you think, free beer is soo cheesy

Warm Apple Flognarde
Burning Pasta

Every Wednesday, we poke around the food blog world to see what's simmering.

- Warm Apple Flognarde. Sounds weird, doesn't it? Say it with Neal of Burning Pasta: flon-YARD. The multi-ethnic baby of swingin' parents custard, caramel and pie, the flognarde could knock the eternal bread pudding off the Best Warm Winter Dessert pedestal. An overage of local apples and a cup of cream inspired Neal to fire up the oven for some dessert therapy.

- E of Foodaphilia and friends go South Philly style at Carman's Country Kitchen. E grooves on the fun, unexpected combinations for pancakes and challah French toast, but finds the complicated omelet fillings a bit "busy" for her taste. Carman's choice of ingredients may be too much for some people, and her displayed collection of penis coffee mugs should really shock those with plain breakfast tastes!

- Happy second birthday to Blogalicious, who celebrated with a fruit-frosted cake from Mayflower Bakery in Chinatown. I wonder if Blogalicious wished for lots of Diggs when it blew out the candles.

- The MenuPages blog reveals its five most-clicked restaurant pages for all Philly neighborhoods. They're not what you might expect.

-Phoodie.info reveals that not only did the entire Philebrity crew feast on the all mac-n-cheese menu at Swallow for just $44 including tip, but Swallow is now enticing diners with free beer (with purchase of mac). That's right, free beer.  Shameless and brillian. That's what it takes to stay alive in this economy.

It's strange how much of a love-it or hate-it response is evoked by Carman's.  I personally have never had a bad experience there, though I have friends who can't stand it.  Plus the "She puts the cunt back in cuntry" on the business cards is classic.
