Cancer-Fighting Curry

“Planning on eating healthily tonight? Ditch the salad and cook up a curry. An Indian chef claims to have created the ‘world’s healthiest meal’ – a chicken and blueberry curry with goji berry pilau rice. It blends traditional ingredients feted for their health benefits with contemporary ’superfoods’ said to help stave off everything from cancer to Alzheimer’s disease. A single plate is said to contain as many health-boosting antioxidants as 49 bowls of spinach, 23 bunches of grapes or nine helpings of broccoli. If that weren’t enough, it tastes pretty good and costs no more than $2.50 per portion. Gurpareet Bains, who devised the dish, said: ‘Combining these two genres of foodstuffs seemed logical in any quest to find the world’s healthiest meal.” w/ photos

Italian Invents Edible Plates

“An Italian catering boss is planning to clean up with an amazing range of edible plates for schools – that never need washing. Tiziano Vicentini made the plates out of a kind of bread dough – tough enough to last a lunchtime but tasty enough to eat afterwards. Tiziano, 50, of Milan, says he had the brainwave after years of watching schools waste money on plastic plates and dishes and expensive dishwashers.” w/ photo

“This is what they mean by ’super-sizing’ your sub.”

Red & Green Apple

“When Ken Morrish picked this apple off a tree in his garden, he thought a prankster had painted half of it red. But after inspecting it closely he realised that the remarkable split colours on the fruit were a natural phenomenon. And the bizarre apple turned Mr Morrish into something of a celebrity in his village with scores of neighbours queuing up to take a photograph of it. Experts say that the odds of finding an apple with such a perfect line between the green and the red are more than 1 million to one.” w/ photos

12ft Chocolate Eiffel Tower

“A 12ft-high model of the Eiffel Tower made entirely out of chocolate gave busy commuters a glimpse but not a taste of Paris today. The mouthwatering version of the famous landmark attracted hungry-looking glances when it appeared at St Pancras railway station, from which the Eurostar departs for the French capital. But passers-by hoping for a taste were out of luck as the tower was constructed to mark the launch of a new range of Thorntons European city-chic inspired chocolates and will be touring stores throughout the country over the coming weeks.” w/ photos

Happy Jalepeno Peppers

“Gardener Nigel Hollingworth had never tried growing peppers before – and wasn’t quite sure what to expect. Jalepeno peppers named after the Xalapa town in Veracruz, Mexico, are not really meant to grow in the cool British climes, so he assumed it would be an interesting experiment but not much of a success. However, in the end there were smiles all-round. The father-of-two couldn’t believe his eyes when he cut one open and saw a pair of eyes – complete with eyebrows – a nose and a big grinning mouth looking up at him.” w/ photo

UK Map Made From Sweets

“This map is a real piece of eye candy – a model of the British Isles made completely from sweets. Artist Paul Baker turned the UK into Sweet Britain using more than 4,000 sweets in a painstaking model that even includes iconic British landmarks such as Stonehenge and Tower Bridge. The two-metre-long creation, which took two months to make, also features edible miniatures of the Angel of the North, Silverstone racetrack, the Loch Ness monster, Hadrian’s Wall and Mount Snowdon. Food model artist Paul, 49, said the mouth-watering masterpiece took twice as long to make than planned because some of the sweets melted in the sun.” w/ photos

100-Liter Cup Of Cappuccino

“In case you want to stay awake for a couple of weeks, here’s a 100-liter cup of cappuccino.”

The Meatini

“I had a wonderful dream! A dream of a cocktail of meat! Specifically, a full English fried breakfast served in a cocktail glass made of bacon. Once in every lifetime true revelation strikes a man, and this was my moment of total clarity! This was my chance to make a mark on history! To ACHIEVE A KIND OF IMMORTALITY THROUGH BACON! Clearly, I had to follow my dream and make this thing of great glory.” w/ photos

World’s Longest Dosa

“A city-based restaurant claimed to have made the world’s longest dosa, 32.5-ft-long in less than 40 minutes. “We already hold the Guinness record for making the world’s largest dosa — 30 feet long in February 2006. Today we broke our own record and prepared a 32.5-feet-long dosa,” Goenka said. The dosa was named after “Quick Gun Murugun”, an upcoming movie that highlights the merits of vegetarianism. A team of 16 chefs and eight helpers practiced for the past 10 days to get the correct length.” w/ photos
