It's Food section Wednesday in all the papers. Here's the goods for this week...

The Toronto Star:

• Which heritage breed of pork is the tastiest? Keith Gordon compares piggies.
• Corey Mintz lives out a foodie fantasy and fills a cart with goodies from Japanese Emporium Sanko.
• Partying into the wee hours is so passé - caterers reveal that more and more people are throwing parties at midday or in the late afternoon.
• Josh Rubin reviews Brakspear Bitter.

The Toronto Sun:

• It's peach season! Rita DeMontis offers tips and recipes.
• Elizabeth Baird has some long-weekend BBQ recipes to say good bye to summer.

The National Post:

• Stephen Harper says that Canadians have the right to safe food. This is true. But perhaps if the government hadn't been so neglectful in the first place...
• Delis and places serving non-Maple Leaf deli meat are caught in the fallout of the Listeriosis crisis as customers avoid all processed meats.
• Mmm... old chocolate. The average candy bar sits for over 4 months before reaching the consumer.
• Amy Rosen adds lavender to lemonade.
• Tabernac! The Festival de la poutine de Drummondville takes place this weekend. Disco fries for everyone!
• Australian wines go well with lamb.

The Globe and Mail:

• What the heck are we gonna feed the kids? With cold cuts out of favour, school lunches just got even more difficult.
• But maybe that's not a bad thing, because - surprise - processed food is full of crap.
• Here's another not so surprising surprise - we eat differently and consume more calories on weekends than through the week.
• Turns out, nuts, seeds and popcorn are good - not bad - for sufferers of diverticulosis.
• A program to train servers in South Africa in wine knowledge compares wines to wild animals.
