(Please imagine the title of this post sung to the tune of “This is Halloween.”)
Martha Stewart loves Halloween. Rachael Ray loves Halloween. I love Halloween.
It’s Halloweek at Fudology! Throughout the week, there will be lots of Halloween-themed posts, all leading up to Halloween itself.
There will be spooky things, creepy things, weird things, orange things. Things that are a bit ooky, and things expunged from the darkness.
Don’t forget the candy!

The study of food, too, covers a surprising range of topics. Food brings people together—or tears them apart. The name of a dish can be just as politically charged as its terroir.
What do you get when you combine the studies of games and food? Fudology, of course.
More than just academic pondering, fudology is a delicious, playful look at life, death, and everything in between.
