It's been a quiet day in the world of news, and I'm uninspired on the subject of food as well. Some days hunting down the entertaining and quirky in the world of food just seems like too much hard work. Whinge. I think I need to go home for a cup of tea.

But before I go, did you know that the oldest surviving piece of chocolate went on display in America in June? Apparently the small lump, found in the tomb of a Honduran king, is around 1,500 years old. Probably looks a lot like the dusty stuff at the back of my cupboard which I really must get rid of.
