DailyDirt: Ancient Food & Modern Food

from the urls-we-dig-up dept

Food has changed a lot over the last few decades. There's a lot more stuff like high fructose corn syrup in the food we eat, and formerly obscure techniques like sous-vide cooking are becoming more well-known. Here are a few quick links on some modern foods. By the way, StumbleUpon can also recommend some good Techdirt articles, too.

Thank you for reading this Techdirt post. With so many things competing for everyone’s attention these days, we really appreciate you giving us your time. We work hard every day to put quality content out there for our community.

Techdirt is one of the few remaining truly independent media outlets. We do not have a giant corporation behind us, and we rely heavily on our community to support us, in an age when advertisers are increasingly uninterested in sponsoring small, independent sites — especially a site like ours that is unwilling to pull punches in its reporting and analysis.

While other websites have resorted to paywalls, registration requirements, and increasingly annoying/intrusive advertising, we have always kept Techdirt open and available to anyone. But in order to continue doing so, we need your support. We offer a variety of ways for our readers to support us, from direct donations to special subscriptions and cool merchandise — and every little bit helps. Thank you.

–The Techdirt Team

    Patents anyone?

    So, when will we start seeing food preparation patents? I can just see it now - "A means and device for the manufacture and preparation of ratatouille"...

    So we've gone from patents that state 'Perform certain action - With a compter' to 'Over the Internet' and 'With a mobile phone' to... 'With a rat'?

    Beer is the new wine. For those who are uneducated, there are many, many types/ flavors of beer. Most people would be truly surprised by what is available if they took the time to find out. Pairing food and beer is a great opportunity for a party and most people are shocked by the great flavors.

    BTW- For those who think Budweiser is beer, I piss out Budweiser after drinking real beer.*

    *Disclaimer; I brew beer at home.
