Now there's a world I have no knowledge of. But I found yesterday's discussion on canned tuna so enlightening that I'd like to give it a shot. So: Anyone have suggestions of fun food blogs to read?
And while you're thinking about that, here's some delicious-sounding advice that directly contradicts Mario Batali's: "Instead of a pound of pasta for two to four people, make a half, or even a third of a pound. Instead of a cup or two of sauce, make it four cups, or more. Turn the proportions around. What do you wind up with? Pasta more or less overwhelmed by sauce, which you can view as a cardinal sin or as a moist, flavorful one-dish meal of vegetables with the distinctive, lovable chewiness of pasta."
The pictures are pretty, and making me very hungry. And try not to feel gluttonous when you get to the part about folks in the old country rubbing their plain slices of bread across a hanging herring in order to absorb a little flavor into their diets.
