...town. The constant flow of visitors has brought in many delicacies and ingredients - and of course, sent away generations of messengers bearing glad tidings of the city's legendary cuisine. Giovanni Tamburini, owner of a family delicatessen in the heart of Bologna's historic center, speaks like a proud butcher one minute and a philosophy professor the next. As lunchtime customers pass before the 150 available varieties of sausage hanging nearby, Tamburini explains that understanding food is like studying archaeology. "There are always new discoveries to be uncovered," the bulky connoisseur declares, after one of his regular customers recommends...
STRANGE BREW "Young sister, you drink ruou?you must have some more," the flush-faced butcher insisted, waving the bottle in my direction. With the glowing benevolence of a newfound friend, he poured the berry red medicinal rice wine into tiny teacups.

In an oddball career, I have played a butcher, a rugby player, a nuclear physicist, a boxer, and loads of other parts. So I can tell you a little bit about making sausages, playing rugby, building an A-bomb, and knocking someone out cold. But I can’t actually do any of those things. What don’t I know? Just about...
...group and do-gooders from around the world mouthed off about their pet projects. Outside the U.N. meeting, a woman dressed in nothing but lettuce leaves and representing People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals handed out flyers while delegates nearby tucked into huge slabs of meat at the Butcher Shop and Grill restaurant. On the pavement outside, Solar Cookers International showed passers-by how to cook with a piece of silver cardboard and a pot. Solar cook Danielle Kahn reminisced about the first world environment conference in Rio de Janeiro 10 years ago. "That was when people really...
