Elsewhere, the round-the-world tour continues with Caribbean appetizers, French cheeses and Indian desserts. In the Blue Room’s brave new world, Asian vegetables with soba noodles, ginger, soy and sesame ($17) can turn up next to braised lamb shank with dates and almonds, couscous and harissa ($22). This is not mere “American eclectic” or “world fusion,” but an attempt at true culinary globalization...

In the popular bottler Glaceau's various brands, for instance, you will find such legit ingredients as vitamins, minerals, electrolytes and soy. But the drinks also contain a variety of supposedly health-boosting herbals--including ginseng, Ginkgo biloba, gotu kola, guarana and echinacea--that the FDA has never approved for consumption as food.
