Wrong. As soon as the scientists added a fourth fatty acid, the digestibility and absorbability of the compound decreased. Five fatty acids decreased it further still. And six fatty acids, attached to a molecule of sorbitol, a sweetish alcohol used in food products, made the compound completely indigestible...
...most underrated white-wine region," and to most Americans it is unknown territory. Last year the French region of Alsace produced about 12 million cases of wine; a scant 68,000 were sold in the U.S., although that was a 21% increase over 1988 levels. A pity. Unlike the sweetish Rhines and Moselles of neighboring Germany, Alsace's crisp Pinot Blancs, spicy Gewurztraminers and luscious Rieslings are flowery in bouquet but normally bone-dry in taste, in short, ideal companions to such summertime staples as shellfish, grilled chicken and pasta salad. (Gewurztraminer has a peculiar affinity for Chinese and Indian...
...blenders, but 70 distilleries bottle small amounts for sale to a growing body of purists who drink them neat or with a bit of water, or like brandy in postprandial snifters. Single malts are as different from one another as Burgundy wines are from Bordeaux: a soft, sweetish Lowland malt like Auchentoshan is a wholly different taste experience from Laphroaig, one of the tangy, medicinal whiskies produced on the isle of Islay (pronounced EYE-la). Part of the appeal of these whiskies, in fact, is their craggy names. Once you've learned how to pronounce it, who can resist ordering...
...level to 660 ft., where mists and cool breezes are ideal for noble whites. Phelps also makes Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot, some of which are sold under the label Le Fleuron at a sensible price (around $5.75). In another of its several microclimates, at Yountville, Phelps grows Gewurztraminer, whose sweetish, slightly musky flavor is comparable to the famed white from its ancestral vines in Alsace and Germany. Says Schug: "The grape comes first. We don't aim for a certain market. If you make fine wine, there are always people who will...
...What is Crunchy Granola? It is a dry cereal about the texture of uncooked oatmeal that consists of rolled oats, wheat germ, sesame seeds, unsweetened coconut, soy oil, sea salt and brown sugar, give or take a few things. Because of all that natural goodness, plus a not unpleasant sweetish taste, it is the rage right now with a generation that is rebelling against the likes of Sugar Smacks and other products that it considers overpackaged and undernourishing. One of the producers of the cereal estimates that its sales double every four months. Which may explain the reported interest...
