This brings us to another supermarket paradox: moist raw meat means dry, tasteless steak. Fresh is certainly not best. Beef has to be hung to lose excess water, develop complex flavor, and break down tough fibers, but for how long? Experts disagree, sometimes violently.

After encountering a steak at Etxebarri in Axpe from an old retired dairy cow as tender as a veal calf and infinitely more flavorful, I was also ready to challenge the received wisdom that...
...Freaky Eaters? The latter programs have something in common besides the power of their titles to make BBC executives blush: they were all commissioned by the digital TV channel BBC3.

Protestors launched a petition on Prime Minister Gordon Brown's Downing Street website that urges Brown to "condemn the tasteless portrayal of terrorism and its victims" and adds: "The idea of making light of Muslim extremism is extremely offensive, most especially for its victims." Brown has not commented publicly about the petition or the musical...
...Green Zone, essentially under house arrest since kidnapping threats make venturing out too dangerous even with a squad of bodyguards. Other days I spend on embed with the U.S. military, where soldierly doldrums are punctuated by episodes of high adventure. One moment you're eating a plate of tasteless food in a chow hall. Hours later you're right behind U.S. troops as they kick in a door where insurgents might he hiding...
