Heard the one about the Chinese restaurant serving cat? Well, in China the claws are out over a cat meat scandal

Claws out over China cat meat scandal - Chinese social media users are buzzing with outrage at news that a "feline house" in Tianjin has been keeping cats to be sold for human consumption. They have raised concerns over food hygiene and many have posted pictures of their own pets to raise awareness. The country has already come under fire for a similar cat meat scandal and its annual dog meat festival. Some activists are calling for these "terrible and prehistoric" customs to be dropped. Eating cat meat is widely regarded as taboo in China, but it is still eaten in some rural regions.

Australian distillers use native plants to add own distinct flavour to global gin craze - "There are so many gins. I mean almost every suburb in London and across the UK has its own gin," Australian Distillers Association president Stuart Gregor said. "There is a global gin craze and it's being driven by the craft movement." Mr Gregor, who is also one of the founders of Four Pillars Gin in Victoria's Yarra Valley, says a growing number of local distillers are joining the craze with around 40 dotted around the country and more on the way.

Mr. Chef Goes To Washington: Cooks Learn To Lobby Congress On Food - Chefs spend so much time "making great decisions about who they source from, where they get their produce, or how they market their food," says Katherine Miller, a former Democratic campaign strategist who leads the Chef Action Network, a nonprofit that teaches chefs how to become advocates for change in the food system. Because of that, "chefs are some of the most trusted sources on food ... We wanted to activate them," she says.

The home-chefs causing panic in restaurants - Restaurant owners in Paris are furious with chefs who have started catering for diners in their own homes - traditional eateries say they could be put out of business as websites put customers directly in touch with cooks.

Is the world's best chef a 59-year-old Buddhist nun? And other food and drink news

Jeong Kwan, the Philosopher Chef - The most exquisite food in the world, say many celebrated chefs, is being made not in Copenhagen or New York, but in a remote temple complex south of Seoul by a 59-year-old Buddhist nun.

Kwan believes that the ultimate cooking — the cooking that is best for our bodies and most delicious on our palates — comes from this intimate connection with fruits and vegetables, herbs and beans, mushrooms and grains. In her mind, there should be no distance between a cook and her ingredients. ‘‘That is how I make the best use of a cucumber,’’ she explains through a translator. ‘‘Cucumber becomes me. I become cucumber. Because I grow them personally, and I have poured in my energy.’’ She sees rain and sunshine, soil and seeds, as her brigade de cuisine. She sums it up with a statement that is as radically simple as it is endlessly complex: ‘‘Let nature take care of it.’’

What Do the Most Innovative Chefs Keep in Their Fridges? A new book gives a peek inside the home refrigerators—and minds—of some of Europe's top culinarians.

Box Wines Boom! - Melissa Devons, VP of wine buying at Total Wine & More, the closest thing to a national wine retailer, explains that: “The box wine market has become very segmented over the past couple of years.  There are now two distinct areas of products – value box wine and premium box wine.  Overall the value box wine category is stagnant to declining but the premium box wine category has seen great growth over the past few years and continues to grow.”

French food 'critic' fined €7,500 for fake review - A person who left a negative review of a Michelin starred restaurant has been fined €7,500 after it emerged the restaurant hadn't even opened. "Very over-rated, it was all show, there was very little on the plate, and the only thing that was well loaded was the bill." It's a harsh review for any restaurant, let alone for the Michelin starred Loiseau Des Ducs in Dijon, central France. But that's exactly what was posted on Pages Jeunes, a business directory site in France which also features TripAdvisor-style reviews. Fake reviews are often hard to spot but in this case it was made easy due to the fact that online criticism was left five days before the restaurant had officially opened for the season, revealed local newspaper Bien Public.

Consultations on free range eggs information standard – extension for written submissions - Minister for Small Business and Assistant Treasurer the Hon Kelly O’Dwyer MP today announced an extension period for written submissions in response to the egg labelling consultation paper.

Australia, we need to talk about the way we speak - Let's get things straight about the origins of the Australian accent. Aussie-speak developed in the early days of colonial settlement from a cocktail of English, Irish, Aboriginal and German – before another mystery influence was slipped into the mix.
The Australian alphabet cocktail was spiked by alcohol. Our forefathers regularly got drunk together and through their frequent interactions unknowingly added an alcoholic slur to our national speech patterns. For the past two centuries, from generation to generation, drunken Aussie-speak continues to be taught by sober parents to their children.

A popular television show takes a look at wine experts and other food and drink news

‘Adam Ruins Everything’ takes on snooty wine experts - On the latest episode of "Adam Ruins Everything," host Adam Conover takes on so-called "wine experts." In Zap2it's exclusive sneak peek, watch as some unwitting restaurant customers struggle to choose a wine, with actor John Michael Higgins standing in as the snooty wine connoisseur. In the "wine pranks" segment, wine experts were fooled by testing two different wines that were actually the same wine -- the white wine was simply dyed red.

The New Caribbean Food Movement - ... the next place to spark New York City’s culinary interest may just be the Caribbean, a catchall term for the islands of the West Indies and the Caribbean Sea, as well as coastal countries like Belize and Guyana. ... Caribbean food is a fusion of influences that may include plantains, okra and rice from African slaves; stir-fries and soy sauce from Chinese migrant workers; pork in all forms from Spanish colonists; puff pastry from the French; and myriad curries and flatbreads delivered with indentured servants from India.

Meat as a Cause of Cancer - New York Times editorial: The latest cancer report from the World Health Organization provides persuasive evidence that eating meat can cause cancer, but the risk is very small for most people.

Wolf Blass rails against Woolies, Coles - The man behind the brand, which is one of Treasury Wine Estates best performers alongside Penfolds, can't believe the two majors now hold a combined 70 per cent. Mr Blass says the vertical integration of both Woolworths and Coles' liquor businesses, where they source bulk wine for their own home brands that have now reached a combined 18 per cent of the overall market on some estimates, is distorting the $4 billion wine sector. He says tougher labelling laws are needed so customers can clearly see if they are buying a private label brand.

Penfolds Grange 'very ordinary' this year, Perth wine seller tells punters - Grand Cru Wine Shop managing director Vince Salpietro​ firmly believes consumers can find better wines that are far cheaper than the nation's best-known luxury tipple. Mr Salpietro has taken the extraordinary step of paying for a half-page advertisement in The West Australian newspaper rubbishing the price Penfolds is charging for this year's vintage. The ad features a photo of Mr Salpietro pouring a bottle of wine on to the floor of his wine cellar. He said he needed to empty two bottles to complete the photo shoot.

Police catch speeding hearse full of caviar - A speeding hearse stopped by traffic police in Russia's far east was found to be packed with half a tonne (1,100lb) of caviar.

Adelaide food trucks restrictions disappoint South Australian Premier Jay Weatherill - The South Australian Government will look at ways to overrule Adelaide City Council's decision to limit the number of food vans in the city. On Tuesday night, the council voted to limit the number of food trucks allowed to operate in Adelaide's CBD to 10 during the day. Adelaide City Council has been grappling with its food van policy after coming under increasing pressure from "bricks and mortar" businesses who claimed they were doing it tough.
