"foodnews" news and stories

A word to the wise. If you've just stolen the box of doughnuts you're eating, it is probably not particularly smart to offer said doughnuts to the officers who are investigating the robbery.

If you're planning on having a heart attack, doing so in a restaurant where a college student majoring in cardiovascular technology works is probably a good way to go.

I have just been playing with the new netscape (read more at download squad) and ran across this story on the Food and Travel page.

It is for a competition to design a tomato ketchup bottle label. "Oh fun!" I thought - I always enjoy tinkering with Photoshop and thought I would give it a go, especially as it kind of ties in with my foodography theme of Brand Awareness over on flickr. Some great designs have already been submitted and it certainly got the creative juices flowing (not to mention the gastric juices so I am off to make some burgers).

Then I re-read the comprtition guidelines to see that it closed in October last year. Ho Hum. Perhaps this new netscape channel needs more input from users. So I settled on reading a post about the correct way to pour ketchup instead!
