As always, I'm impressed by all the different takes on the theme, though some of the stories didn't follow the recipe (recipes are made to be mangled, but seeing as I wrote it, I feel I have to at least note the deviations). Overall, I think restaurant food lost out to homemade food in the entries. Just like in real life, I guess.

1. FIRST POST!! Is there even a title? I read the first line thinking, "This is going to be slashdot fanfic" but by the time I'd read the last line, I was thinking, "this would have been better with hot grits."
2. Nine Panels Nearly 200 words too short, no food, no pun? I'm not sure it needed to be in comic script format, unlike "The Idea" from WFC2. Cute idea, but I feel like it wandered in from a different *FC.
3. Desired Has all the required elements, but in the wrong proportion, I think. Hard to feel sympathy for the narrator.
4. The Review I liked the format and the restaurant names. Think this may have had the best use of puns. Revolting descriptions of food made it hard for me to vote for it, though, despite being the intended effect. Sorry.
5. Fusion Mostly agree with Scrymarch. This combined with "Nine Panels" would have had enough words for one entry, though not the same entry, probably. The idea of the "most incomprehensible wine" amused me.
6. What Do You Want? The story of a relationship and its turning points told through food. Nicely done.
7. Almond Torte I think that the original recipe called for 1.7 eggs, but I've probably done my math wrong. Should have used metric eggs.
8. Dream Logic Like "What Do You Want?" the food in this story is actually of central importance, instead of just there, and it plays into my weakness for nostalgia.
9. Knock Knock Good banter. Features my favorite light bulb joke.
10. Taste Test I liked the dialogue. Good party atmosphere -- at least, as seen from the POV of someone who doesn't want to be at the party.
11. Con Queso This may be the best one of the lot, but going over the word limit by 500 to do it is slightly unfair. However, keeping within the parameters of the challenge wouldn't have yielded this story, so I can't complain too much.
12. The Snow Cake Very cool story (no pun intended, honest). If the bureaucrat had been named Herr Hulver this would have been a nice amalgam of all the WFCs: you've got little people (children), a snowy apocalypse, the rebirth of the rebels into snow-people, and the pointed lack of sex (or anything else) between the narrator's parents and, of course, food -- all within the narrow word range of WFC5. But independent of all that it's a good story on its own.
13. Sushi Time A bit unpolished, but the kernel of the idea wasn't bad. +1 origami.
14. The Leav(en)ing Agent Hey, someone really did write about sex instead of food. Well, OK, it's about food too. I liked the tour through the narrator's previous occupations.

Finally, while I like Scrymarch's cover at least as much as mine (and for the very different take on it that he did), bo's cover totally kicks ass.
