Q: What is your favorite food-related comedy?
A: For about a year here on CHG, we had Favorites of the Week, which usually included a song, sketch, or piece of standup based on food. It was super fun to compile, and often yielded genius like:
Jim Gaffigan on Bacon
Monty Python’s “Spam”
Readers, what’s your favorite food comedy? Is it standup, sketch, or improv? Maybe a song? Or a simple quote?
If you have a link, please include! (Extra points for Vimeo and Youtube URLs, as Canadians can’t see Hulu. It’s kind of like their Snuffleupagus.)

I really love Eddie Izzard and his "Cake or death" stand up. Be forewarned most ofhis standup is NSFW.
