Food packaging is pretty wasteful. Even if one recycles everything they can, a fair amount of packaging is going in the trash. In.gredients, a supermarket slated to open this year in Austin is going reduce packaging needs by letting customers bring their own containers. If you don’t have a container, no problem, In.gredients will provide a compostable one for you. Unpackaged, a store with a similar concept, has already opened in London. So, maybe we’ll see supermarkets like this opening elsewhere soon. In the meantime, you can support In.gredients’ effort by being an investor.

]]> A new food truck is coming to the streets of New York. The Frying Dutchmen will be a mobile friets truck, plying the avenues between SoHo and Murray Hill. Fried potatoes with a selection of dipping sauces will surely be a hit on with the revelers in both neighborhoods.

No word on whether the name is a shout out to the all-you-can-eat seafood buffet of a similar name from the Simpsons, or just a a reference to the owner’s love of a certain burg on the Amstel.

]]> Sixpoint Bengali Tiger Can LabelUpdate 2011-05-16: Sixpoint will be available in cans come Memorial Day!

It appears that Sixpoint may begin offering at least one of their fine, craft ales in cans. This was also mentioned on beernews.org and Beeradvocate.

It will be great to have some Bengali Tiger in such portable containers!

]]> DIY Cooking Handbook LogoI really like the idea of this DIY Cooking Handbook from the New York Times. It pulls together a handful of recipes from varied sources for “nice to have in the fridge/pantry” items. Currently, there are 13 different (lucky!) recipes ranging from kimchi to preserved lemons. The Horseradish Beer Mustard sounds particularly delightful.

]]> 200911-food-mapThe New York Times serves up some tasty, Thanksgiving themed info-graphics today: What’s Cooking on Thanksgiving -or- what people are searching for on Allrecipes.com on Wednesday (broken down by state).

Based on a cursory look at the graphics, it appears that mashed potatoes and gravy are going to be on a lot of tables in California today. I love California.

Happy Thanksgiving All!

]]> Dave Cook's Red Hook Food Map ThumbnailDave Cook created a great map of gastronomic highlights in Red Hook. The map includes, among other things, a comprehensive description of what is on offer at the Red Hook ball fields. Whether you are heading to Ikea to shop for low-cost goods, or just want to explore the neighborhood, this is a great map to have in your back pocket when hunger strikes.

]]> It looks like Old Devil Moon has closed its doors. I will need to find another location to satisfy my occasional biscuit and gravy cravings. All suggestions are welcome.

Update: There is a massive NYC biscuits and gravy thread going on over at Blondie and Brownie. A bunch of those restaurants just went on my wish list.

]]> Walker's Squirrel Crisps Lately, squirrel is all the rage on the British food scene. Those craving the little, gray critters no longer need to trek to the gastopub (or grab the shotgun) since Walkers is introducing a Cajun Squirrel flavor.

Cajun Squirrel was submitted by chip fan Martyn Wright (pictured) as part of Walkers’ Do us a Flavour competition. The unusual flavor is one of six finalists up for permanent shelf placement across the UK. The other flavors include Builder’s Breakfast (egg, bacon, sausage and bean for those not in the know), Crispy Duck & Hoisin and Chilli & Chocolate.

These chip flavors make those available here in the US seem just a bit tired. Is it time for a similar contest here?
