Here’s some food for thought for today…
- The Oatmeal does awesome comics and this one about beer is fabulous.
- Regular readers are well aware of my feelings about the word “foodie”. Seems I’m not the only one who thinks there must be a better word. Although I’m betting they don’t share my opinion that it’s a derogatory term that is actually well-suited for the book in question. (Not a big Pim fan, sorry.)
- The flavours, they just… come alive. All food gets creepy when you give it googly eyes.
- An anti-trust investigation has been started against Monsanto who have a corner on the seed market, as well as subsequent pesticides. It’s about time.
- Your supermarket-bought chicken is probably contaminated. yum.
- Nobody wants those Michelin stars – a 2nd Italian restaurant returns their stars, saying they don’t really need them to attract customers.
- Missing Gourmet Magazine? It still lives in the hearts and minds of bloggers who are doing monthly round-ups of recipes.
- You’re not supposed to think about it, you’re supposed to buy it… how cereal companies try to get away with health claims on packaging.
- They get all the cool stuff in Japan – like this phone that looks like a melting chocolate bar.
