Friday Foodie Link: What do you eat alone?

Apparently, eating alone and in crowds means very different things – even to famous chefs.  NPR had an interesting interview from author Deborah Madison and illustrator Patrick McFarlin of the new book, What We Eat When We Eat Alone. Madison found, through a variety of interviews, that when eating alone, culinary rules go out the window and comfort rules. Unsurprisingly, pasta and eggs are a popular choice. The NPR story page includes a tasy sounding recipe for Johnny-cakes. But there’s some pretty weird stuff too, including an entire chapter devoted to sardines. I guess when you’re eating by yourself you have no one to impress. Nothing wrong with that! You can listen to the interview here.
