No matter how mild it can can get in March, winter is still winter. And at this point of the year we could all use a little indulgence to brighten our days. So this week, we want you to do just that! Gastroposters, it’s time to get guilty and treat yourself to something special. Whether it’s a decadent dinner, a sinful snack or you’re pouring another pint to go with your pub grub for St. Patrick’s Day, it doesn’t matter as long as it makes you happy. Show us your posts that plead guilty to your favourite foods!
Whatever you eat in order to complete the mission, the important part is sharing it with the Gastropost community. There are several ways to do that:
