Following a couple of online spats, isn't it time to get to know each other face to face?This time last month the usually congenial world of food blogging was in something of an uproar. Earlier in the year US food bloggers had suggested a 'code of ethics' for those reviewing restaurants or products, there had even been hints at regulation. We, in our lovely British way, had played down the sugges

There are certain admissions pretty much guaranteed to get you run out of town by baying foodies waving sharpened forks – you don't understand snail porridge, you don't like foie gras – but my problem is far, far worse: I love the food on aeroplanes.It implies a certain jet-set sophistication to be blasé about flying and for years any standup comic at a loss for material has been able to riff on
A new American book may have cracked the secret of KFC. Can WoM readers do better?It always thrills me to hear that another escapee from the corporate world is making a go of things.

Elizabeth David thought she'd found it. Can you do worse?One of the best parts of this job is the opportunity of hockling through old books.

Posted by edwina 156 days ago (http://www.guardian.co.uk)
Have supermarkets truly lost the plot in their search for new products? Anyone care to come up with a worse idea for a sausage?BNP, KGB, CIA - there are some acronyms that automatically put you into a distrusting and wary state of mind. For me though, worse by far is "NPD". New Product Development is the process of brainstorming, testing and focus groups by which supermarket bring new, 'added val
