Reading the plethora of fun food news each week is just one of the perks of editing Food Dive. From Cinnabon selfies to Sweetheart love, below are some interesting reads from the past week.
Those anticipating “Better Call Saul’s” first two episodes airing Feb. 8 and 9 got an extra special something — a free “Mini Bon” the evening of Feb. 9 at Cinnabon. Not quite “Los Pollos Hermanos,” but it works. Also, until March 3, if you head to Cinnabon, take a selfie, and tweet it out with a #SaulSelfie, you have the possibility of receiving a year’s worth of Cinnabon (whatever that entails).
Stockton, CA’s, Manuel Cobarubies discovered a chicken organ in an order from KFC. Yikes. Honestly, though, eating LSD on accident seems way worse.
What constitutes a vegetable or a fruit is actually more complicated than you might think. National Geographic’s “The Plate” delves into the topic.
Cherry tomato + white potato = Ketchup ‘n’ Fries
Gardeners, get ready, because coming soon to a garden near you (in the U.S. this spring) — well, the headline kind of explains it all. Through a process called “grafting,” a cherry tomato’s top is melded on a white potato. NPR’s “The Salt” has the details on the plant.
Food Dive already highlighted this product in a feature earlier this week, and as The New York Times’ “The Upshot” points out, Sweethearts are distinctly a popular February item, citing MyFitnessPal research. Have a Happy Valentine’s Day!
