		<description><![CDATA[To do justice to food as the most wide-ranging and personal of subjects, I needed additional voices to chime in. I asked dungeekin so he would make me one of the fabulous roasts he discusses below. My plan is working &#8217;cause I&#8217;ve been eating awfully well as a result.  &#8212; Deb. * * * * [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[A few days ago, my good friend Mark Gray posted in his excellent blog  Pizza Marko , that he and his delectable wife Didi had been taste-testing a couple of high-end tonic waters against a brand leader. Initially I thought there couldn&#8217;t possibly be much difference between the three, as I&#8217;d always thought tonic waters [...]]]></description>

While you can get some rather nice bagels here- on Brick Lane, or at Mr Bagel&#8217;s in Dalston &#8211; London bagels just don&#8217;t seem to measure up to the great New York [...]]]></description>

And short of Thanksgiving (last Thursday in November), National Apple Pie Day (May 13th), National Root Beer Float Day (August 6th) or National Peanut Butter And Jelly Day (April 2nd), I can think of no other food holiday that is as quintessentially American.

		<description><![CDATA[Yesterday, Deborah posted that horseradish has been named Herb Of The Year by the International Herb Association. I immediately took umbrage, as I do not consider horseradish to be a herb.  We all know that it is the root, not the leaves of the horseradish plant that are used. It&#8217;s not that I dislike horseradish; [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Ladies and Gentlemen, I have an announcement to make. Apparently the Herb of the Year for 2011 is (drum roll please) . . . horseradish! Yes, yes &#8211; many are called but few are chosen &#8211; and in the case of Herb of the Year, only one is chosen. I suppose that this means National [...]]]></description>

You may note from my bio that onions were amongst the few foods that I- an especially finicky eater as a child- would tolerate in my [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Comfort Food.  We all know what that means.  It&#8217;s a very personal thing, though most of us would agree that buttery mashed potato, a bar of chocolate, a steaming bowl of chicken soup or pizza from your favourite chain are perhaps the most obvious examples.
