...Cheesy! If you're feeling peckish in Midtown Manhattan you might try wandering into the IMB Building's atrium at East 56th Street and Madison Avenue to nosh on a mozzarella tasting menu. Obika looks like a take-out sushi joint, but it's an Italian restaurant chain focused on cheese, specifically its handmade Mozzarella di Bufala Campana. The porcelain white (the yellow mozzarella in your supermarket was made from cow's milk, not buffalo's), slightly briny balls are paired with grilled vegetables and prosciutto. If you just want a sandwich to go, the menu also includes paninis. Look...
...construction of the greatest Gothic cathedral of all time, Notre-Dame de Paris, entirely in sugar. Donc, nous allons faire du gingerbreadhousemaking!Arriving in the dining hall, we were struck once again by the enormous magnitude of our project. Past cathedrals had taken centuries to complete; we had a peckish two hours to recreate this grandeur. We began by gathering our resources. From one corner of the dining hall we collected graham crackers to serve as the walls. Then, we carefully mixed our chosen mortar, combining powdered sugar with water to concoct a glue that would hold for the ages?...

...sizable, so tense and tangy, it was almost erotic. Think of it: a big new movie from an Oscar-winning quartet - star Tom Hanks, director Ron Howard, producer Brian Grazer, screenwriter Akiva Goldsman. Yet nearly as soon as The Da Vinci Code began, the critics fell into a peckish mood. At the end of a long, soggy film, the black-tie swells went off to their parties, and the critics slumped away to write their regretful pans. Though we didn't know it then, The Da Vinci Code experience would turn out to be Cannes 2006 in miniature: great hopes...
...Still peckish? Combine a trip to nearby Saigon Zoo and Botanical Gardens with a treat from the che stall at 25 Nguyen Binh Khiem street. Che are sweet desserts made from various combinations of fruit, beans, tapioca, sugar and sweetened coconut milk, and are hugely popular in the south of Vietnam. At this stall you'll find a refreshing che dau van (made with haricot beans) for a mere 5?. Then drive it home with a digestif of rau ma (liquified pennywort), available from the Ben Thanh market food hall for just 25?. That brings your three-course meal with...
