Cloned meat is good to eat Bernard Matthews dies Pubs sell more food than beer Cornish Blue wins World Cheese Awards *****<\/p>\n Other food news this week: *****<\/p>\n Blog of the week: *****<\/p>\n Recipe of the week *****<\/p>\n Video of the week [explicit language]<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n A cat has a run in with a printer:<\/p>\n
\n<\/span><\/strong><\/a>The Advisory Committee on Novel Foods and Processes has deemed the meat and milk from cloned cattle “unlikely<\/a>” to cause any problems to the consumer. After reports in the summer<\/a> that cloned meat was being sold to shoppers, scientists have been looking into the implications for our health. No conclusions have yet been reached.<\/p>\n
\n<\/span><\/strong><\/a>Norfolk turkey tycoon Bernard Matthews has died aged 80<\/a>. For over 60 years Matthews peddled turkeys and twizzlers<\/a> to a hungry British public. It would be difficult to argue that his legacy was one of fine gastronomy, but there will be few readers who didn’t at one time or another encounter Matthews’ meat.<\/p>\n

\n<\/span><\/strong><\/a>In a result that will cause some discomfort for the French, a fresh cows’ milk cheese from Cornwall has triumphed in the World Cheese Awards<\/a>. We’re used to blue cheeses being either sharp and salty – Roquefort – or strong and mature – Stilton. Cornish Blue was praised for its new approach to blue cheese. Have you tried it?<\/p>\n
