World Cup Fans Cuckoo for Fufu
While the Germans are probably boycotting pizza and spaghetti--and the Portuguese might be buying fewer baguettes, too--the World Cup in general is a time for newer and stranger foods. Visitors to stalls in "Fanfest" villages across Germany have been tasting everything, including fufu from Ghana and genuine Brazilian caipirinhas, amongst the millions of Bratwurst and bottles of German brew, of course.
Almost overshadowed by World Cup fever, a few food specialists around the world have been developing even more surprises for our taste buds. In North Carolina, Cold Sweat ice cream is the new taste sensation, an ice cream so hot and spicy that customers are asked to sign a waiver before getting their (small) scoop.
Tthe big news in cuisine this week comes from Marks and Spencer's stores in England, who have just launched their king-size blackberries. Double the normal size and sweeter to boot, the English might not be able to play football this time round but at least they have something tasty to munch on.
