SNACK TIME: Staffers who deserve more than Michelin stars, A Song of Ice and Fire and Food, moms-to-be best eat their veggies, tasty iPhone covers, Alton Brown proclaims Twitter is for scumbags, and famine in Somalia.
- As you are all aware, there’s been intense rioting going on in England. In the midst of all this mayhem and violence, some have gone out of their way to protect others, like the staff at The Ledbury, a 2-Michelin-Star restaurant in Notting Hill. When looters swarmed the place, the kitchen pretty much said "Oh no you di’nt!" and chased them out. Kudos, valiant restaurant staff.
- The amount of times my friends and I have geeked out about one fantasy novel or another is innumerable, especially A Song of Ice and Fire (the series of books on which the HBO series Game of Thrones is based). Now I can geek about the food, as well. Serious Eats has started a blog that chronicles the journey to cook all the dishes mentioned in the series (horsemeat sausages, anyone?). Be careful, though. The blog contains spoilers.
- Hey mom-to-be. Want your kid to eat vegetables? You best start eating them, too. Philly's Monell Chemical Sense Center, located in Philadelphia, claims your child’s food likes and dislikes develop while still in the womb. Julie Mennella, who studies taste in infants at Monell, says that the amniotic fluid surrounding the baby is flavored by the foods and beverages the mother takes in.
- Japanese food iPhone cases (pictured above). I cannot begin to emphasis how inconvenient these are. Or how much I want one.
- Alton Brown has always been skeptical of Twitter, but when someone impersonated his wife and even used a family picture as their avatar, it was one step too far. He deleted his account, but not before calling the imposter a "sick, low life scumbag."
- On a far more serious note, the food crisis in Somalia was officially labeled a famine by the UN in July. Now Anderson Cooper is saying the crisis was preventable. Here's a short piece explaining his reasoning as well as clip of him reporting from Kenya.
