Here's some food for thought for today...

• Eat like a king! Okay, maybe you have to be a big fan of old books, but new technology at the University of Manchester is allowing people to look at 13th century books - including this cookbook - for the first time.
• The North Dakota Farmers Association opens a restaurant in Washington featuring food grown on family farms.
• The last place you'd expect to find a chop suey house - ethnically incongruous restaurants around the world.
• Can it actually be called a cupcake if it's bigger than a regular cake? Duff Goldman thinks so.
• But flat cookies stack better - baking hints to curb cookie spread.
• I'm astounded at the number of people who have never tried apple pie with cheese - could the TV show Pushing Daisies encourage them to make their pies better with cheddar?
• And finally, a woman in Iowa goes batty over her coffee.
