This led to a much more entertaining offshoot, “#foodbooksinmypants,” started by @amateurgourmet. Some of my favorites:

amateurgourmet I'd just like to point out that a Pulitzer Prize winning food writer is participating in the #foodbooksinmypants meme that I started. WEIRD.
I think my “best participation” award goes to fine-food purveyor D’Artagnan. I hadn’t even realized they were on Twitter. I respect them for having the guts to join this somewhat off-color exercise from their company account, and for coming up with some of the best entries. I don’t think there’s many industries where you’d see something like this happen.
