I picked up a story about coke and pepsi having to change there recipe due to the fact that that the chemical they use to create the caramel colour in the drinks may be linked to cancer in mice.

So it's all over for another year, can't say I'm gutted by that. It's amazing that we go through the year eating sensibly, exercising and drinking in moderation (well 2 out of 3 ain't bad), only to rip it up for a two week binge that would make a Roman orgy tremble.

I've just found out that Baxters of Speyside have purchased the Fray Bentos brand, which I guess is quite a big deal for a company from Moray

We (Mike Jappy and I that is) are just back from Berlin, great city if you have never been and well worth the visit. Seeing as we are on a food website we'll stick to the culinary side, especially if you like beer and red wine.
