'stache #11 - tomato moustache




One of the trickiest of all food moustaches, the yellow tomato moustache, or “YTM” to the moustacherati, is notable for its unusual placement above the nose, (and looks quite like a fu manchu, really). While some question whether this strange 'stache is a moustache at all, they are mistaken, and likely jealous of the skill and aplomb with which the YTM wearer wears these joined tomatoes. On Michigan’s upper peninsula, the red tomato is also worn in this fashion.

The Yellow Tomato Moustache may be worn by experts at any time. This YTM is modeled by Prudence during the fearsome salmonella tomato scare of 2008.

'stache #4 - pulled pork moustache




Few food moustaches are so steeped in controversy as the pulled pork moustache. Worn dressed in a vinegar based sauce in Eastern North Carolina, the moustache takes on a sweeter, tomato-based character in Western North Carolina. Still other areas wear the minced pork moustache in a mustard-based sauce, although most experts agree that such a variation is fundamentally disgusting. Regardless, the pulled pork moustache remains one of the most sought after of the meat moustaches, and remains a mark of distinction throughout the Southeastern United States.

Although purists insist the pulled pork moustache ought not be worn after labor day, it is not uncommon to see men sporting the mincedstache year round.
