I think we all know what happened to the third.

Just wanted to let everyone know that Epicute.com is going to be getting a slightly new look today or tomorrow as we migrate fully onto the Cheezburger network. If you want a preview, see it here! Let me know what you think!

I’m not normally an egg fan but every once in a while there’s nothing I want more than a little plate of deviled eggs. And what’s with serving deviled eggs for Easter brunch, anyway? Riddle me that! This post on The Straight Dope has some cool facts about “deviling” in food.

The whole is-it-a-fruit-or-vegetable thing with tomatoes has deeply unsettled me since 8th grade science class. Okay, sure, they have some seeds on the inside. But would you serve them in a fruit salad? Would you dip them in whipped cream? Would you top a cheesecake with them? No! (I hope.) It’s 2010! Isn’t it time we find a better classification for tomatoes? Post your suggestions in the comments!

I realized when I was uploading this that Epicute is a veritable goldmine for the bear enthusiast. We have bear buns, bear cupcakes, bear pancakes, bear meatballs… even a bear latte. What’s your favourite Epicute animal?

Oh no! The penguin bento (archnemesis of the Batman bento) has gotten himself a cloning machine and is replicating! What are we to do? I think I have an idea… [chomps]

Or maybe not, since eating your neighbors is frowned upon in most countries.

NOTE: This is Totoro, a character from a movie.

Love the little nuggets in this one. They totally look like they are wiggling their butts, amirite? Maybe they are doing the Chicken Dance.

Last week one of my coworkers yelled “Hey, have you seen the tiger muffins?” across the room. Given that I work for I Can Has Cheezburger, I assumed that “tiger muffins” was slang for something, possibly to do with golf. Nope. Here they are, in all their delicious glory. Let’s make tiger muffins a leading fad for 2010, ok?

PS. In the year I’ve been running this site, this is only the second muffin picture I’ve posted. Where are all the cute muffins hiding?!

A recent comment on my bagel post from earlier this week got me thinking: what does the word “sandwich” mean to you? The comment said that a bagel with cream cheese and lox didn’t constitute a sandwich; to me it did, but maybe that’s because Russians primarily eat their sandwiches open faced and without toppings like lettuce and tomatoes. (Fun fact: the Russian word for sandwich is borrowed from the German word “butterbrot,” which literally means “butter bread.”)

What would you consider a sandwich? Does it need to have two pieces of bread, or will two English muffin halves suffice? Is the determining factor the type of bread, the amount of slices, or the condiments or toppings? Share in the comments!
