Talking Travel with Anthony Bourdain {Gadling}
Aug 4th 2007 12:24AM I have been to Japan many times and enjoy the Japanese cuisine. I am amused that Anthony found "fermented soy beans" a dish he could not stomach. Admitedly an acquired taste, I enjoy them.
Red wine could extend your life {Slashfood}
Nov 13th 2006 1:16AM The active ingredient concentrated in the skin of the grapes is resveratrol, an antioxidant produced by the grapevine to combat fungus. Resveratrol is found in red wine, not white because red wine is made by fermenting the whole grape including the skin (which gives color as well). Researchers have found that a concentration higher than 10 micromoles/liter is unusually high, yet some Oregon Pinot noirs have been found to contain 18-28 and higher micromoles, probably because the damp climate promotes fungus.
A couple of glasses of Oregon Pinot noir a day may or may not give you a long life, but it will be a pleasant one.
