Holiday Entertaining- Is this Appropriate?

Maybe I'm old school but for me its rude to turn up to someone's house without something for the host at least a bottle of wine. I never expect anyone to bring anything to my parties and folks never leave hungry and some don't leave sober!
However if they're asking everyone to bring a dish they should really call it a Potluck

Why I Hate 'Hell's Kitchen'

I'm not sure I should be listening to someone who would rather watch NYC Prep

My (Sort Of) First Taste of White Castle's Burgers

It's too early in the morning to be looking at those. White Castle Burgers were truly the worst culinary experience I had in the US, in Louisville no less

Reverse Trick-Or-Treating with Fair Trade Chocolate Politicizes Halloween

If your career didn't depend on chocolate then maybe you could be more balanced in your view here.

Foreign Tourists Tend To Be Lousy Tippers: What's A Waiter To Do?

I'm from the UK and now live in the US so I've seen both sides. I now normally wouldn't tip less than 20%

In Europe it's acceptable not to tip if service is bad. Once (when I was still a visitor) we didn't tip a waiter in New Orleans, he was dowright terrible (told me Greek Salad was Crudite and then refused to swap it for me etc etc). He threatened to call the police and he said it was the law to tip in the State! After a standoff we asked to see the manager who said it was fine not to tip him

Also in New York a waitress refused to serve me for the rest of the night as I'd only tipped her $7 for 8 drinks

Norwegian Brunost (Brown Cheese) and Apples

Maybe I'm the only one but I had it when I went on a trip to Norway and it was nastiness like I had never tasted before!

Pro-HFCS Ads: Do They Bother You?

I'm trying to decide on formula for our soon to arrive baby (my wife plans to breast feed but I want to research now in case). I was shocked at how many of the forumlas include HFCS as their first item. Personally I don't eat too many things with HFCS in it as I normally prefer fresh food and I don't want the first thing my child eats be laden with the stuff

I'm originally from the UK and we have very little HFCS in our food so try for sugar where possible
