...more than the name of the proprietor that changed when a family bereavement forced Ross to sell: What had once been yet another of the market's hundreds of bountiful fruit and vegetable stands was now devoted exclusively to selling squid-ink spaghetti, eggplant ravioli and other fresh pastas, served hot during lunch hours and in containers for home-cooking. Watching four young entrepreneurs in chef's jackets serving their guests paper plates piled with steaming pasta, Ross and other veterans of the Boqueria were reminded of the profound change underway in their venerable institution...
...findings, published in the Journal of the National Cancer Institute, was an especially big blow to pasta-loving men everywhere. The first study to reveal tomatoes' anticancer properties, conducted in 1989, had found that men who consumed one or more weekly servings of tomato sauce reduced their risk of prostate cancer by as much as 60%.

Unlike Ruby Tuesday, Friday's and Cheesecake Factory are cutting prices along with meal size, so each dish was a few dollars cheaper than the larger entrées. Though the protein was two-thirds the size of that...
...natural filtration mechanism to make a tasty beer with 12 different algae. It's even creeping onto European dinner plates, says Patrick Plan. His Brittany-based company, Marinoë, markets a range of seaweed edibles, from red dulse, a sweet-tasting seaweed that grows on rocks, to wakame pasta, made from a mild-flavored kelp. Plan enthuses, "it's a food with a future." And you thought it was just slime...
