...midway through savoring sizzling Chorizos braised in Asturian cider, anchovies on a bed of oven-roasted eggplant, braised octopus with smoked paprika and extra virgin olive oil, and langoustines à la plancha. And I felt like a hypocrite.At a Harvard University Dining Services (HUDS) meeting earlier this year, HUDS spokeswoman Crista Martin and Jessica Zdeb, the coordinator of the Food Literacy Project, introduced the ongoing debate regarding the nutritional facts labels displayed above each dish in the dining hall. In their current form, the cards provide a profile for each dish in the dining hall, detailing their caloric, carbohydrate...
...Tsuburaya was in his early 50s when he finally got his chance to make a monster. He had been working up a plot about a giant octopus that menaces fishing fleets. Then, in 1954, a Japanese trawler inadvertently sailed into the vicinity of a U.S. hydrogen-bomb test in the Marshall Islands. The crew received dangerous doses of radiation, and 500 tons of fish had to be recalled from ports nationwide after a radiation scare swept the country. The incident, coming less than a decade after Hiroshima and Nagasaki, traumatized Japan. Working with director Ishiro Honda, Tsuburaya turned his octopus...

However, just because the ingredients are canned doesn't mean the food isn't wonderfully creative and fresh. Brother-and-sister team Joana and Joaquim (Quim) Perez Sanz are the fifth generation...
...That's where Oldboy and the Tarantino oeuvre part company. The Korean movie proposes that guilt, not vengeance, can be the spur to a man's darkest deeds. The film's big set pieces - the devouring of a live octopus, a tongue removal without benefit of anesthetic, even a bout of lovemaking - are essentially acts of self-mutilation, in a world where original sin blots out the sunlight of redemption. Oh essentially takes the major blame for all the awful things that have happened to him. And when he finally faces his captor, he goes medieval on himself: ripping...
