...decade, swelling to 13% of the U.S. diet, most Americans have no idea where their produce originates. T shirts and TVs are required to carry labels--but not T-bones. Only shipping containers must disclose the source of most raw agricultural products: once beef is sliced into stew meat, or apples are tumbled into display bins, the information is rarely passed on to customers. That suits the giant slaughterhouses, wholesalers and grocery chains, which earn higher profits on cheaper imports. But U.S. farmers, claiming they lose an advantage with buyers who may be worried about mad-cow disease from Canadian...
...been a bad ratings year for the network, which had to sit by and stew while bigger networks raided its youth niche with reality shows. In the ultimate WB indignity, it was Fox that landed last year's hot teen soap with "The O.C." Network CEO Jordan Levin flatly apologized to advertisers, in particular by practically promising to commit ritual suicide for having decided, last year, to focus on scripted rather than reality shows.

Breyani, made from rice, lentils and lamb or chicken, is another favorite. Many restaurants also now serve African dishes such as pap or mealie meal (maize-meal porridge) and umngqusho, made of crushed dried maize kernels, sugar beans, butter, onions, potatoes, chilies...
...that surround the 700 islands of their Caribbean nation. But what really gets the locals' gastronomic juices flowing is the humble conch. When it comes to scoffing gastropods, only the French and their escargots can rival the Bahamians' love affair with sea snails. Available in variations from salad to stew to chowder, the flesh of the conch (pronounced konk) is white, sweet and most closely reminiscent in flavor to clam. But in the Bahamas' own original fast food?ubiquitous across the archipelago?the mollusk is turned into a fritter. Made from ground conch meat (it's on the chewy side...
