I seem to think I go on a lot about food on the Friday Fillip — but that’s not the case, I discover. Maybe I’m simply always on about food in my head. At any rate, the fillip today is about a blog about food. The Internet Food Association [1] is a relatively new cooperative blog that’s hit the big time [2] lately. What caught my eye was the exchange [3] on IFA about Alice Waters’ OpEd in the NYTimes [4] about school lunches, something that interested me even before Jamie Oliver took on Brit-crap [5] at English schools.
But I stayed for the casual, unearnest food talk generally. There are the obligatory “food porn” pics, part of the IFA Flickr pool [6]. But for the mostpart the entries are refreshing, because, I think, the 10 contributors [7] are young, with a tendency to irreverence. This is a good, in a field that than slide into pretension faster than an omelette can slide out of well-buttered pan. You won’t get many recipes here, perhaps, but you will get an enjoyable read. And that’s fare.
