We do our best to stay on top of the comments here and on FB, as well as the tweets and e-mails. (It's thesporkful@gmail.com, by the way. We especially love it when you e-mail pics for View from Your Laptop.) It's great to hear what's on your mind. We learn a lot and it keeps things interesting. We might not see your e-mail right away, but it's not always our fault. The other day I looked in the spam folder and found out most e-mails reacting to the chicken parm episode wound up there.
Food writer and podcaster Matthew Amster-Burton was among the parmacists sealed off with the scammers. His explanation seems sound:
It's a fine line between parm and pharm.
Actually, he may have been quoting Courtney Love, but in either case, it seems to pinpoint why gmail siphoned off nearly all of your chicken parm e-mails.
So we'll be doing a major rethink of how we get listener feedback on some coming topics, such as Nigerian savings stew, free Viagra lime pie, and Dubai lottery tagine. Meantime, keep the e-mails, comments and tweets coming. We'll be reading them just as soon as we take care of this simple wire transfer that's eventually going to earn us the money to fund The Sporkful well into the next decade. /mg
