- Be still my tastebuds! It's a pork-tasting showdown, to determine the best porcine rump.
- Recipes: Shellfish with Lemon Grass, Chili-Lime Crab Salad, and Smoky Pork Pappardelle.
- Ever wonder what exotic Japanese goods were worth your money? Check out this list.
- Many strong-tasting beers come with a big alcohol content. Not Brakspear Bitter.
- Yams make super-fast lightning bolts.
- South American wines worth mentioning: Chile's Terra noble Vineyard Selection 2007 Sauvignon Blanc, Santa Carolina Barrica Selections 2006 Petit Verdot, and Terra Andina Altos 2005 Syrah Cabernet Sauvignon, plus Argentina's Finca Flichman Expresiones Reserve 2006 Malbec Cabernet Sauvignon and Trapiche Broquel 2006 Malbec.
- Dig deeper and move beyond Vietnamese Pho.
