It has very poor Japanese 3rd party support and several large US 3rd party developers aren't yet ready to get on board with it.
Also, with a tablet controller, you can expect the piece of junk to sell for $400-450 because the GOTDAMN thing will add to the costs of manufacturing the system.
Nintendo should just invest more in 3DS. Its doing much better in sales now that VITA is selling poorly. They should also redesign 3DS with Smartphone features.

Yeah, this is what I wonder about the Wii U. It seems like Nintendo is in a difficult spot. They're basically going to be selling something on par with the other systems and yet it will probably cost much more. It's only real advantage is this tablet controller but the bulk of the people who'd be interested by that are probably also the ones who'd be more inclined to choose a cheaper options. I mean, the Wii was novel but let's keep in mind that it also had the advantage of being less than half the price of other systems. Or, look at the 3DS. It really only started to move well once the price was slashed.

I know. Nintendo seems to be trying to recycle the Wii concept with Wii U. Except it'll be a much harder sell. I don't see Soccer Moms & Grandmas wanting to play Wii-Sports on a wonky,bulky tablet controller that looks like it'll be difficult to use.
I think its fair to say ever since SEGA left the hardware business in 2001, Nintendo has done nothing but alienate hardcore gamers. Hopefully with SegaOrbi helping build SEGA back up as a hardware company, Nintendo's investors will wake up & abandon the piece of junk Wii U and develop a true next gen system in a few years.

And the Wii motion control gimmick opened up new styles of gameplay, such as Wii Sports, as well as being intuitive as a substitute for a mouse to point and click. But lets be honest, the console didn't even come bundled with a gamepad. And the Wiimote sucks as a device for enjoying 'normal' games. Is it any surprise if developers and serious players abandoned the Wii to its awful mini game collections?
Christ, as far as I know you still can't play a game without using the Wiimote because there's no autoplay option, meaning you might need two controllers out to play a game with just one of them. And its still a pain in the arse when the pointer goes off the screen - both are problems easily fixed in a firmware update but Ninty only care about stopping you playing your Japanese games on a Western console.

I tried digging for the article, but can't find it, but there was a developer who stated something to the effect if Nintendo had its act together and introduced the Wii in HD, it would have clearly beat out the competitors because it would have closed the gap between casual and hardcore gamers.
The fact Nintendo intentionally targets a demographic with its consoles already has developers shrugging their shoulders, stating it's not a system they're interested in.
Nintendo had the ability to boast a strong presence in the home console market because, and this, I think, is important, it had games to go with it.
Now, yeah... as Konota says: "Sure, they're called games, but they're not really games."
If one were to separate out the mind-numbing "carnival" games from the Wii's library, I'd be stunned if 50 titles existed.

Yeah, Nintendo has just tried far too hard to push gimmicks and cater to specific demographics that it seems to have backfired a bit. When the Wii first came out it was a huge thing and extremely popular, but as the gimmick wore away the system just didn't have the capabilities of the competitors, particularly when the price point dropped on the competing machines. The 3DS also presents itself as an example of Nintendo relying far too much on gimmicks to sell their hardware. I mean, sure, some of these work great and are true innovations, but the system still needs a solid foundation to remain relevant long-term.
Such baffling decisions do not surprise me in the end honestly. It reminds me of the N64 still latching on to the outdated cartridge concept which ultimately proved to be a huge bottleneck for an otherwise well made system. Then the mini-DVD's of the GameCube again bottlenecked the device, not to mention the technical limitations compared to the competition. Technical capabilities is huge in gaming these days and is only going to get huger, they can't rely on gimmicks to get sales alone anymore, they need to keep up.

LOL@Nintends 1-st ever annual loss since 1981 and the peanut gallery is going on about how this proves Nintendo's gimmicks don't work.
Also the Wii's game library is the largest among the current gen consoles. It just doesn't have the same caliber of graphic intensive games but the demographic Nintendo went after, "sweet graphics" wasn't the prime selling point at the time.

Congrats on once again attempting to lower the tone of a discussion on a topic. You want to disagree with others then by all means do so and make your points, but you are still expected to do so respectfully as per the rules. Jumping on people for making a point you don't agree with, firing a shot their way and tossing labels doesn't accomplish this, particularly when you otherwise hardly bring any actual points to the discussion.
When a major player in an industry goes from safely profitable to taking a greather than half a billion dollar hit in the red the "peanut gallery" is more than justified in chiming in. This is particularly the case when the "peanut gallery" are the very consumers that these companies are trying to make their earnings off of. So this is how the consumers see the company and are why they maybe are or aren't purchasing the products. Don't agree with that? Then make your case and deal with it, but cut the condescending crap.

I actually have to back ArsenicSteel on this one. People have been accusing Nintendo of leaning on gimmicks since the original DS, and they've pretty much always panned out while Nintendo made money hand over fist.
There's also a lot of ignored context going on. The console market is shrinking overall, and it's almost certainly going to continue on that course; predictions for the next console generation aren't good. The strength of the yen damaged a lot of international Japanese companies as well; I can't read the Nintendo report right now, but I remember Sony lost something like $300m on that alone. There's a lot going on in the market that you can't claim is Nintendo's fault, and maybe the losses would be minimal or non-existent in a better climate.

Because Nintendo may not have posted losses, but they've been slumping for awhile now not only in earnings but significantly in market share and that trend is only increasing while their competition is remaining relatively stable. Sony's hit this year was also largely due to the hacking scandal they've dealt with this past year and the ongoing repercussions resulting from that, so it's not like Nintendo is the only one dealing with various external circumstances.
You're going to have to pardon the fact that people are growing tired of Nintendo's lagging hardware and reliance on gimmicks (some good, some not) to sell units. They did a great job with the Wii and the motion controls, but they should have seen the competition developing similar tech on superior systems was going to be a major threat, and they didn't. The Wii's lack of flexibility became a huge detractor not only for consumers, but for developers as well. You can't be a major player in this industry anymore by going for niche markets, so they can't afford to not care if their system doesn't live up to the competitions performance.
The 3DS is a great example of a gimmick just not catching on to make it worthwhile, and the hardware gains just aren't there to warrant dipping again for a 3D screen that is, frankly, lacking.
And the issue AS is that you didn't come in here to make counter points or challenge perceptions, you came in here specifically to fire shots at people who perceive the situation in a way you don't agree with. Counter the points and discuss them instead of just firing the "peanut gallery" label at them for daring to disagree with you and calling it a day.

I can see you don't read anything more than headlines in your life.
With a few friends who work in the gaming industry, rest assured this issue isn't about "gimmicks", but developers having a difficult time trying to maximize their earning by catering to as many consoles with a single product they can.
A feat which is very difficult to do unless the game is developed for the lowest-common denominator, which is the Wii (and soon, Wii U).
You can believe graphics don't matter to people, but I'm still waiting for someone to walk up to me and say, "Dude, you need to be playing Skyrim. It's controls are [bleeping] awesome!"
At any rate, rest assured I'm not harping on Nintendo for their losses, but one would have to be in denial not to have seen this coming.
I still remember Reggie stating developers will return to Nintendo because the Wii will be the simplest console to develop for.
I wonder what crow tastes like.

A single company can only maintain market share for so long before that share begins to erode either because competitors are adapting or because consumers are migrating. Hell, all the current gen sales are tapering off because this generation of consoles is coming to an end. 2 out of the three console makers are already discussing release info(gimmick, innovations, or whatever you want to call it) for their next system.
The Wii's lack of graphic power and controller issues made it hard on some developers and limited on what games could be made for the system. But looking at the game library and number of systems sold, that issue didn't harm the system's overall success. So sure some people are tired of how Nintendo does things but there are also people who are tired Sony's slow integration of successful gimmicks and Microsoft's defect prone hardware.
If Nintendo isn't a major player in the gaming industry then I don't know who is. The gaming industry seems to be growing in terms of hardware sales but the industry is still a niche.
Sorry I am only trying to discuss the woes of hardware manufactures. As far as only reading headlines, Nintendo stated that the reasons for this loss were primarily because of below-cost prices of the Wii and 3DS along with less than favorable exchange rates. Gimmicks and developer profit margins didn't make it into the report.

India's services sector grows at fastest pace in 7 months
BANGALORE (Reuters) - India's services sector expanded at its fastest pace in seven months as a spurt in new business encouraged firms to hire more staff, a survey showed on Thursday, suggesting the worst of the economic slump may be over.
The HSBC purchasing manager's index for the services sector, which gauges the activity of hundreds of Indian companies, rose to 55.8 in September from August's 55.0.
A reading of 50 and above separates growth from contraction and the index has held above the break-even mark since November last year.
India's services sector makes up for over 60 percent of the country's gross domestic product and a strong reading in HSBC's survey augurs well for the economy, where growth has faltered in recent months against the backdrop of political upheaval.
"Service sector activity grew at a faster clip in September led by firm demand, underscoring (its) resilience," said Leif Eskesen, an economist at HSBC.
"This further lifted employment, which helped businesses keep up with orders."
The new business sub-index surged to its highest since February allowing firms to hire more workers, and employment touched a 15-month high.
But survey participants are now less optimistic about the future. The sub-index measuring business expectations, a gauge of what firms think conditions will be like in a year's time, fell to 67.2 from 74.0 in August.
Policy measures taken by the U.S. Federal Reserve and the European central bank to shore up their respective economies have led to an increase in demand for Indian services. Still, the fragile recovery in the U.S. and a dire euro zone economy pose a threat to India's export dependant services sector.
Growth in Asia's third-largest economy languished near its slowest in three years at 5.5 percent in the quarter ended June, as the lack of reforms by New Delhi and high interest rates hurt investment.
Determined to regain investor confidence and bring the economy back on track, the government launched a slew of reforms last month by slashing fuel subsidies and inviting foreign investments in retail, aviation and broadcasting.
Prices also rose at a faster pace in September from the previous month, the survey showed. That could further fuel wider inflation in the economy where the wholesale price index rose to 7.55 percent in August after a temporary slip in July to a three-year low.
Liquidity injections from the Fed and other major central banks have in the past pushed global commodity prices higher and resulted in rising inflation in emerging markets.
That could pose a complication for the Reserve Bank of India which, although determined to fight inflation, may find the task difficult.
"The RBI has limited room for policy rate cuts given the persistence of inflation, although further progress on fiscal consolidation and structural reforms may eventually pave the way for some easing," Eskesen said.
A similar survey on Monday showed factory activity expanded at a steady pace in September as new orders and output rose.

Southeast manufacturing activity up slightly
Published: November 5,2010
Tags: manufacturing, PMI
Source: Press release
KENNESAW, Georgia — Manufacturing activity in the southeastern United States was up by 0.8 point, according to the Econometric Center at Kennesaw State University's Coles College of Business.
The Southeast Purchasing Managers Index – a reading of manufacturing activity in the six-state Southeast – for October was 52.7, marking the first increase in the last six months. The Southeast PMI encompasses Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Louisiana, Mississippi and Tennessee, corresponding with the territory served by the Sixth Federal Reserve District.
The Southeast PMI recorded an average of 55.8 for the May-October period, 3.1 points below the October reading, said economist Don Sabbarese, director of the Econometric Center.
Consistent with the slight improvement in production, employment and finished inventory, more manufacturers are feeling optimistic about a recovery: 34 percent of survey respondents said they expect production to increase in the next three to six months, up from 32 percent in September.
"Manufacturing in the Southeast is still struggling to return to the pace of growth it experienced in the first half of 2010," Sabbarese said.
Highlights of the October Southeast PMI include:
• Manufacturing activity grew in three states: Tennessee, Florida and Alabama
• Tennessee (59.4) and Mississippi (61.8) reported the highest PMIs
The Southeast PMI reading is a composite of five variables – new orders, production, employment, supply deliveries and finished inventory.
A sixth variable, commodity prices, is compiled by the Coles College's Econometric Center but does not go into the PMI calculation.

BERLIN – Popular Die Welt columnist Henryk M. Broder launched a piercing attack
on Tuesday against Jakob Augstein, owner and editor of the Der Freitag weekly,
for spreading Nazi-style anti-Semitism on Spiegel Online, the website of the Der
Spiegel magazine, where Augstein blogs.Writing in his own blog, Die
Achse des Guten (The Axis of Good), Broder, regarded as Germany's leading expert
on contemporary anti-Semitism, said: "A few days ago, I wrote here that the
editor of Freitag, Jakob Augstein, was a 'salon anti- Semite.' Now I have to
correct myself. Jakob Augstein is not a salon anti-Semite, he's a pure
anti-Semite, an anti-Semitic piece of work, an offender by conviction who only
missed the opportunity to make his career with the Gestapo because he was born
after the war. He certainly would have had what it takes."In his Monday
Spiegel Online blog article, titled "To whose advantage is the violence?,"
Augstein wrote: "Fires are burning in Libya, Sudan, Yemen, all countries that
are among the poorest in the world. But the arsonists are elsewhere. The furious
young men burning American, and now also German, flags are just as much victims
as the dead in Benghazi and Sanaa. Who profits from this violence? Only the
crazies and the unscrupulous. And this time also – as if incidentally – the
American Republicans and the Israeli government."Broder, who has
testified as an expert in the Bundestag about German anti-Semitism, wrote on his
blog that Augstein's text showed a "classical anti-Semitic model" that connects
the Nazis and neo-Nazis who argue that "the Zionists cooperated with the Nazis
and accepted the death of millions of Jews in order to establish their
state."Broder added that this was the logic behind Augstein's article
and that he was a "little Streicher," referring to Julius Streicher, the raging
anti-Semitic editor of the Nazi-era publication Der Stürmer.According to
observers of German-Israeli relations, Augstein has gone to great lengths to
stoke hostility against the Jewish state. He passionately defended writer Günter
Grass's poem that blamed Israel as being the main impediment to world peace,
although the majority of German journalists slammed Grass for his biases against
Israel and his pro-Iran position.In a telephone conversation with The
Jerusalem Post on Wednesday, Broder said commentaries in Der Freitag, Augstein's
weekly, were packed full of comments supporting anti- Semitism.Writing
in his blog, Broder taunted Augstein to file a legal suit against him. Augstein
told the Berliner Zeitung on Tuesday that he would not sue, saying, "I very much
value and respect Henryk M. Broder, also in his errors."Broder responded
that Augstein had "wimped out."

Wikileaks Party Making Questionable Deals In Attempt To Win Senate Seat 162
from the strange-bedfellows dept.
We've improved Slashdot's video section; now you can view our video interviews, product close-ups and site visits with all the usual Slashdot options to comment, share, etc. No more walled garden! It's a work in progress -- we hope you'll check it out (Learn more about the recent updates).
I am an Australian voter and I can't imagine a wikileaks voter following a how to vote card. If they have somebody handing them out in East Brunswick I might pick one up for the lulz, but thats all.
Does that really apply in this case? This is a political race in Australia. Manning and Snowden have nothing to do with it, different issues, different country.
It seems to be they may be making bad deals, for no good reason, that will cost them in the future. At the very least it seems that they may marginalize themselves and alienate the very groups that you would expect to be natural allies.
Never worry about theory as long as the machinery does what it's supposed to do. -- R. A. Heinlein

Pawar cites Amul, tells state dairies to create one brand

Union Agriculture Minister Sharad Pawar said Friday Maharashtra needed a single brand to improve marketing of milk and products, like Gujarat's Amul, rather than have several brands jostling for space and ending up losing ground.
"In Gujarat, all milk cooperatives supply to Amul, which in turn markets it very well. In Maharashtra, there are Gokul, Warna and Aarey. There is vast infrastructure but poor production," he said after inaugurating a new facility of the state-owned Mahanand Dairy here.
Praising efforts of Amul, Pawar said he recently inaugurated its dairy of 5 lakh litre capacity in Haryana.
"Amul will bring milk from Gujarat to Haryana. Even though Punjab and Haryana are self-sufficient in milk production, Amul has managed to enter the markets there," he said. Pawar said he had enquired about the plans of Amul and was informed that it would set up dairies in Mumbai, Pune and Nagpur.
"I told the Amul authorities to focus on areas where milk collection is poor and leave markets in Maharashtra to local brands. But still, Amul is all set to make an entry here because they see a very good market which we are not able to tap," he said.
He said the milk cooperatives and the government here should explore the possibility of a single milk brand from Maharashtra, to promotion and market it better.

Best Card Shop (2012)
Jonathan Wright & Co.
The interweb may be doing its best to kill the fine art of snail mail, but Jonathan Wright & Co., a quirky little shop in Fairfax, is fighting back. In back, two original, 19th-century letterpresses are rolling away, and seekers of style and whimsy can see Mr. Wright himself to discuss embossing, engraving and stamping their custom invitations, announcements, cards and place cards. The reassuringly thick paper printed with Victorian-style illustrations even smells classy, and is usually (thankfully) left blank for your own message — which the shop's in-house calligrapher will write for you, if you desire. This go-to shop also sells small gifts that make ideal pairings: fragrant soaps, spiffy journals, candles, letter openers, rubber stamps, Italian wrapping paper, witty books, chic party supplies, seasonal knickknacks and legions of envelopes and notepaper. 7404 Beverly Blvd., Fairfax District.

DVD: Friends With Kids
Sunday 11 November 2012
When Harry Met Sally with nappies, Friends With Kids stars its writer-director, Jennifer Westfeldt (Kissing Jessica Stein), as a thirtysomething Manhattanite who decides to have a baby with her platonic pal, Adam Scott.
You can guess what happens. It's better than most romantic comedies, but not as good as it should be when you factor in a supporting cast that includes Kristen Wiig, Jon Hamm, and other Bridesmaids alumni.

Harriet Wicken
Jacqui Newling drew my attention to a recipe for Devilled Meat in Phillip E Muskett's The Art of Living in Australia. All of Part II of the book – Australian Cookery Recipes and Accessory Kitchen Information, is given as authored by Mrs H. Wicken, Diplomee of the National Training School for Cookery, London; Lecturer on Cookery to the Technical College Sydney. There are six other cook books authored by her listed in Trove at http://trove.nla.gov.au/people/637214?c=people
Does anyone have any biographical information on her?
The Foods of England Project
Thanks heaps to Jacqui Newling for putting me on to this site. I am looking forward to exploring curries tho navigating it is something of a challenge and the red check wall paper is a tad...overwhelming.
Are ready-to-eat boiled eggs the most pointless convenience food ever?
'Yowk, an egg which simply needs hot water poured over it before it's ready to eat with your toast, has arrived. How on earth did it make it to market – and are there any convenience supermarket foods that are really worth the money?'
In PNG, hard boiled eggs in their shell are sold everywhere and make a great snack as they always have. But this...Frankenegg! Still, I am prepared to take nominations for even more pointless convenience foods.
Food-related deaths and illnesses to no longer be reported to the ACCC
'Food-related deaths and disease outbreaks will no longer have to be reported to the consumer watchdog by product makers and sellers under new federal laws, "appalling" public health experts.
In line with the Abbott government's war on red tape, Small Business Minister Bruce Billson pushed a bill on Wednesday to remove the need for food businesses to alert the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission when they become aware of safety problems.'
This is NOT a war on red tape. It is a war against accountability from Big Food.
Planet to Plate. The Earth Hour Cookbook
'This beautiful book celebrates Australia's wonderful fresh produce and the people who work so hard to produce it. It also highlights the need to solve climate change so future generations can enjoy the healthy food we have been lucky to grow up with'.
The egreious grammatical clanger in that statement notwithstanding, this book put out by WWF, Earth Hour and the Bendigo Bank pretty much doeswat it says it wants to do. There are short first person narratives from farmers talking about the impact of climate change, or their fear of its impact, on their particular crop – canola, pistachios, beef, oysters for example – with little sippets of what the impact of global warming is likely to be on other crops not covered by the farmers –like beetroot, honey, potatoes ,kale (tho the risk with that one is more like 'bring it on!!!' - and a slew of recipes from the usual and not so usual suspects. The photography is excellent, moving away from the high gloss over produced food pics to blokes with tractors, sheilas with forklifts, working clobber hanging, fields, forests, pigs, salmon tiddlers and such. And there are cute illustratoins too. What's not to like?
Farm to Table Cycle
'Farm to Table Cycle: A Journey for Change is a 16-day, 400-mile solo bicycle and photography journey launched by national non-profit Wholesome Wave to raise awareness about local food systems.'
Thanks to Colin Sheringham for directing to me to this site. Love the pun on 'cycle'. Got all mushy watching the video http://www.farmtotablecycle.com/updates/2015/1/21/food-is-our-solution-farm-to-table-cycle-video.
One of the things in the latter that struck me was the community markets where the majority of buyers are on some form of government assistance. Anyone know of any recent research on who goes to farmers' markets in Aus – I'm betting the picture would be quite different, but then I only go to the inner city markets and have no idea who goes to those at say Warwick Farm or in Byron.
Food can't fix everything as someone asserts at the start of the video, but not a lot can be fixed is we don't fix feeding us sustainably.

This week's compost opens with a request. I have been hired to cook three breakfasts for a singing workshop being held in a monastery. Naturally my thoughts turned to what could be menu items at such breakfasts. Yes, cold porridge. But I am wondering if you good souls out there have more innovative and interesting suggestions that can be put together from the food sources of an Australia reasonable sized country town – commercial, local farm etc. Any thoughts?
Celebrity chef Pete Evans' paleo baby cookbook put on hold over health fears
'The recipe, called the "DIY baby milk formula", is a chicken liver based concoction containing no milk products, which the book claims "mimics the nutrient profile of breast milk". The recipe is marketed as a "wonderful alternative" to breast milk and the "next best thing" when breast milk is not an option.'
When is pate not pate? Apparently when it is baby froth.
Prehistoric Britons love flat bread
From New Scientist 7 March 2015.
'Prehistoric people living on the British Isles were more than hunter-gatherers: they were bakers, too. They seem to have been eating wheat 2000 years before arable farming started on the islands. Tobin Allaby at the University of Warwick, UK, and his team found wheat DNA dating back some 8000 years in mud at a now submerged Mesolithic shipyard near the Isle of Wight...But no pollen turned 8p, which suggests that the wheat wasn't being grown there....and was instead imported as flour. The closest wheat farmers at this time were probably in southern Europe or the Near East.'
But Pete Evans, what's 5000 years between mates, eh.
Going Against the Flow: Is the Flow Hive a Good Idea?
When I first told Barbara Sweeney, bee keeper, about the Flow Hive I posted about in the last edition of This Week's Compost she gave me some background on the system that is not presented in the video doing the rounds and which I directed you to. I was excited then when Barbara found the following and sent it to me. I think it does raise interesting questions about the honey-as-product centred approach to bee keeping and a bee-centered approach. While perhaps not wanting to anthropomorphise as much as the article does, I think it does pose questions that are worth discussing, not least in the lack of clear information in the crowd funding video for the Flow Hive about its construction material and form. I suspect that most people who may have donated to the project haven't done the research into the details that this article does, and I wonder then about issues of informed decision-making and crowd funding. Where does the responsibility lie? How do you parse which views to go with? I am interested in the comparison in the article with egg production; can you compare the Flow Hive to factory farms or do we draw a line between animals and insects when it comes to ethical practice? I welcome and will circulate any and all comments.
Extreme-aged steak: the gourmet world of meat with mould on
'Cross sees his 150-plus-day steaks – so far only served to guinea pigs – as a future tasting menu item, which will be served in small portions with, say, a few pickled blueberries. "For me, this is not a competition," he says. "The ageing is driven by one thing: a quality eating experience. Meat that age is a sensation overload; a couple of mouthfuls is adequate."
Couldn't you just eat meat from a really really really old kine?

The inimitable Michael Mobbs in a delightful video that is as usual totally subversive. An oldie but a goodie...the video too J
China's Long Food Chain Plugs in
'Joyvio is taking on a bigger challenge: the entire food chain. Started in 2009, it is now the largest provider of kiwis and blueberries in China. It controls everything, picking what seeds are planted, then tracking and collecting data each step of the way. Its nurseries are the stuff of science fiction. The room temperature and irrigation schedules are automatic and can be controlled remotely via a mobile phone or a computer. Seeds are grown in greenhouses, and plant tissue is cultivated in research labs.'
As you all know, I love a good counter narrative, and this is a beauty given the current frenzy over a small number of people getting Hep A from Chinese processed frozen berries (never mind that the vast majority who consumed these berries have shown no signs of Hep A whatsoever). No, I am not suggesting there isn't/wasn't a problem, but I was fascinated how a lot of media elided the Chinese berries with incidence of a half dozen people getting mild food poisoning from some –shock horror- canned fish from some other off-shore producer and how no counter narratives about action to ensure safety along the food chain was being taken in the countries the media was so quick to damn.
Will Food Sovereignty Starve the Poor and Punish the Planet?
'These results indicate that, at the global scale, and contrary to what is often claimed, the objective of food sovereignty is consistent with that of minimising environmental agricultural pollution. '
The hidden question in the claim that is questioned in this paper is to whose benefit is it to promote the claim. I suspect the answer is Big Food i.e. the multinationals with a vested interest in globalising food.
A foodie's guide to salo: the Ukrainian delicacy made of cured pork fat.
'At first glance it could be a hard sheep's cheese or a smoky mozzarella. But the slabs are actually cold, white pork fat – Ukraine's national dish, known as salo. It is best served covered with garlic, onion and pickles (or something picante), and almost always washed down with a shot of vodka.'
Ta John Newton for this fab info. Ich bin ein Ukrainer totes! J
KFC to launch edible scented Scoff-ee coffee cup
'The new cup is an attempt to address consumer concerns about the environmental impact of packaging, as well as their desire for simplicity. "This type of edible packaging is definitely aligned with the global consumer mindset in terms of sustainability and simplifying their life," said Shilpa Rosenberry, senior director of global consumer strategy at Daymon Worldwide, a consulting firm that works with many food companies.'
Hey I can see this going places. I reckon they ought to make a cup like this out of potato fries and fill it up with gravy, for example.

This Week's Compost
Waste free cafe to close over compost dispute
'Melbourne's first zero-waste cafe will close its doors next week after a long-running stoush with the city's council over a compost bin. In a bitter end to the dispute, popular cafe Brothl was last month served with an eviction notice after it refused to pay the City of Melbourne more than $10,000 to store its composter outside.'
The idiocy of this boggles more than my mind. A Council with any vision would be looking at ways to bring in composters like this under Council's insurance policies and spruiking this action when they did.
From Barbara Santich
Didn't you have a posting about 'Israeli' food recently? Now they're claiming shakshuka -
I have also recently read a terrific article in Gastronomica 'Resistance is Fertile' about two ventures in Palestine where food and drink are being used in overtly political ways. If I can work out how to scan it and put it somewhere on the interweb I will.
Custard tart fight: can the British version ever compete with Portugal's pasties de nata
'I'm in Lisbon listening to some live fado, the Portuguese folk music that expresses the sorrows and yearnings of ordinary people. Among these songs of love and loss is a hymn to the joys of Pastéis de Belém, the original version of the most traditional cake in Portugal, the pastel de nata, or custard tart. "Served with cinnamon or just as it is," sings the lyricist Leonel Moura, "This beautiful delicacy has no equal in the world."
So, natas are Portuguese, and there is apparently a British version which originated in East Anglia 'as early as mediaeval times'. Whence then the Chinese egg tart, staple of yum cha?
' The egg tart eventually made its way to Hong Kong, where it was influenced by British custard tarts, which are a bit more glassy and smooth.'
Which sounds right. Anyone got any further insights?
For safety's sake make food labels say what companies already know
Okay, I am as much a critic of transglobal food chains as your average aussie monocultural farmer, but I dunno, this whole incident I reckon is being hijacked in xenophobic and faux protectionist ways. No amount of labelling of country of origin is going to ensure that somewhere sometime some quantity of a product is not going to have greebies that will cause some people to get sick.
Sandwich Mafia let's alleged Subway blackmailer go free
'The Supreme Court subsequently found Mr Singhal was responsible for creating and releasing the materials, ordering that he pay damages to the company. But Subway last week decided to drop its claim for compensation. Victoria Police has also confirmed that no formal complaint has been made against Mr Singhal for blackmail. A spokesman for Subway said the company was "satisfied" with the outcome of the court proceedings.'
Well I am NOT satisfied with the outcome. In the first instance, I have not been alerted to viewing any of the Youtube videos that apparently gave away the 'secrets' of Subways creations. In the second instance I am disappointed that the 'Sandwich Mafia' chose to take the matter through legal process rather than encasing the offender in a very large roll, smothering him in special sauce, and feeding him to the sharks – though maybe they knew that even the sharks might balk at dining on a Sub.

Feedback: From Jacqui Newling on Juan Carlo Tomas' article How to host the perfect Australia Day barbeque
I do love the idea of the Cape of Good Hope being the first fleet's 7-11! That'd be the fancier wine licensed one, with Batavia the nearest corner store. And Carlo's right when he said lamb was the first meat chosen to celebrate their arrival (claim) but it was Feb 7 by the time they'd got everyone unloaded, and the sheep, killed the night before for the officers dinner, was maggot infested by the time they were ready to eat it!
Fish was the first fresh food eaten by first fleeters as they arrived in Botany Bay (between Jan 18-20). And same in Port Jackson, by the scouting party at Camp Cove (Watsons Bay) on Jan 24...
But let's not get facts in the way of a very entertaining Oz Day piece - all good fun!
And I'm keen to see what the gourmet soldier makes of the Anzac biscuit in the WW1 campaign book. [Yet to order it Jacqui - Paul]
Foodie Question
Some of us were talking the other day about the phrase 'meat and three veg' to describe typical Australian food of a certain era pejoratively. The question was raised as to whence the term originated. We wondered if it was perhaps a marketing ploy to get consumers to buy some product that supposedly compared more favourably.
I found references as below to 'meat and two veg' in the context of British food.
But I can't find an Australian reference - the Macquarie was of no help.
Anyone out there got any ideas?
Fictitious Dishes: An Album of Literature's Most Memorable Meals
A nifty idea executed simply and well. The Kafka/Metamorphosis is a fave for a forager like me; the madeliene is inevitable but perfect for all that; and I would be more than happy to down Queequeg's chowder.
Explore the science of flavour
"Freshness is a product attribute that is often linked to quality," says Rachel, "so the fact that you can manipulate freshness by changing the sound a food makes is very interesting."
But will anything make flaccid iceberg lettuce taste crisp?
Tasty treat: How we showed fat to be the sixth taste.
'Various researchers have since identified fatty acid receptors on taste cells as well as identifying the most likely cellular candidates. Even further evidence for a fat taste was the discovery of fat-sensitive neurons in the taste-processing region of the brain.'
Homer Simpson will be un-surprised....'Mmmmm...fat J '. Neato description on how to determine whether something can be considered a 'taste' along with the used-to-be-four-now-five tastes. Interesting also the relationship between being able to taste fat and BMI.
