If the first bite is with the eye and the second with the nose, some people will never take that third, actual bite if the food in question smells too fishy, fermented or cheesy.

I have to admit that I can't take a whole fig and eat it on its own as I would a peach or mango. It's just too much.

Most fish require a short cooking time, but cephalopods are the exception to this fishy rule. As with some cuts of larger land beasts, the longer they're cooked, the more tender they get.

The smells of slow cooking spread around the house and impart a unique warmth matched only by the flavour of the food.

Healthy is in the eye of the beholder.

Healthy people eating healthy food should never need to take an antibiotic.
