Here’s some food for thought for today…
- Fine dining to go with the fine art – museum restaurants can range from cafeterias to fine dining establishments but as we know here in Toronto, they don’t always do well.
- Food is finally getting out to people in Haiti. How and why? UN distributors starting handing out ration coupons, and then only to women.
- NYC is on the warpath against salt, with processed food taking the biggest hit. But how much salt is in restaurant food? A corned beef sandwich at Katz’s deli will run you over 4000 milligrams (more than 2 days’ worth) of sodium.
- The sheer ecstasy of being a lunatic farmer – Joel Salatin talks to the Guardian preceding the UK opening of Food Inc.
- Eel is more endangered than bluefin tuna – sustainable sushi, not so easy to do, but what a way to make a difference.
- Of course, without plankton, there will be no fish at all.
- The Italian agriculture minister is not impressed with the criticism of his endorsement of McItaly sandwiches. Or, you know, you could not be such a whore and actually do what’s best for the people and the agriculture of your country.
- Aw, that Madge, always trying to stay relevant. This time, she’s investing in a coconut water company, because the hipsters, they dig the coconut water.
- That Woolworth’s lunch counter that became such a symbol of the civil rights movement is a featured exhibit at the International Civil Rights Center in Greensboro, NC. A museum built right in that old Woolworth’s store!
- So that’s why on TV they just order “a beer” – most customers have a hard time pronouncing cocktail or spirit names.
