Pretty sure it's not gout
After a prime rib sandwich and a beer for lunch on Friday, a burger for lunch on Saturday plus two beers at a board games gathering, a boatload of free shrimp at the Atlantis before dinner, and a beef dish at dinner, the twinge in the toes on my left foot remains pretty much unchanged (a slight sharp pain only when flexing) so I think I can conclude at this point that it isn't gout.
I did consider that any House-like plan might backfire -- there was the chance that it wasn't gout, but eating gouty foods might bring on an attack :-) Fortunately that doesn't seem to have happened either.
