Jellied blood. Well, uh...it's an efficient use of every part of the animal, at least, but considering I can't even touch black pudding...
And that article on calorie labels is a little maddening. "We guesstimate, which suits everybody just fine. "Hmm, so I had three pieces of French bread with butter. That's, what, 20 calories apiece? And the shrimp scampi, that's like 120 calories right there. And tiramisu for dessert – I'd peg that at 75 calories." The dieter has "kept track" and still enjoyed the meal."
Except the dieter hasn't really kept track, and with a growing amount of Americans eating out more than three times a week that's an important distinction.

I read the article on bacon yesterday in the Globe, and was struck that it looked a lot like something I had seen on a food blog. Indeed it did. Check out

It's not the first time I've seen blog items show up in other print media. I wonder what the copyright deal is with blog posts.
