Among the new menu items Burger King has recently unveiled, the Bacon Sundae is certainly the biggest head-turner. Currently available only at Nashville locations, we're wondering if this dessert has a star-studded future:
The new delight may have been inspired by bacon-ice cream combos at smaller fast food chains Denny's and Jack in the Box. The latter, a bacon milkshake, inspired a national fervor despite the fact that it contained no real bacon and the widely-held...
Kriemhild Dairy and their sinfully rich Meadow Butter inspired the editors of Edible Brooklyn to ask Lindsey McDonnell, the Agricultural Economic Development Specialist Assistant in Madison County, some questions about buttermaking and dairy farm models.
A majority of dairy farms in NYS and the northeast are conventional tie-stall dairies with the Holstein breed of cow, which as you indicated, do typically produce higher volumes [of milk], although many farmers will argue...
The specialty foods industry has seen a spike in sales recently, topping $75 billion in 2011. Cheese is the number one specialty food purchased, with $3.44 billion in sales. We definitely contributed to that number here at Culture!
The next largest retail sales categories are meats, poultry and seafood; chips, pretzels and snacks; coffee, coffee substitutes and cocoa; and bread and baked goods. Functional beverages are the fastest growing segment, followed by yogurt and...
"Gillette E Smurf" has broken the current world record with 216,893 kilograms of her milk, thanks to her superbly long life span -- she's 15, or 105 in human years. This Holstein shows no signs of slowing down, either. She's currently pregnant with her eleventh calf!
He [dairy farmer Louis Patenaude] credits her success to good care and good genes. Four generations of dams all lived to age 10 or much older, he says. Smurf, whose middle initial “E” stands for her sire...
Japanese brew company Kirin, has figured out how to keep your beer colder longer. Better than a beer koozie, soft-serve frozen beer topping keeps your bev cool for 30 minutes:
To make the topping, regular Ichiban beer is frozen to -5 degrees Celsius (23 degrees Fahrenheit) while air is continuously blown into it. It's kind of like when a child makes bubbles in their drink, except inside a blast freezer. Once the topping is placed onto regular, unfrozen beer though, it acts...
Processed, frozen "pizza" is in the limelight of this Saturday Night Live skit, starring Kristen Wiig.

Yikes! Make sure to check out these creepy additives in common food -- including milk.
These days it's hard for even die-hard foodies to know what they're eating or drinking. That's because food has changed from something that didn't need a modifier -- if it walked, swam, flew or grew out of the ground, it was food -- to something that stopped off at Mr. Burns' nuclear plant on the way to your plate.

When one pictures grazing land for cattle, the forest isn't usually what comes to mind, but that's exactly what Cornell Forest Experts are trying to get farmers to imagine. Managed livestock grazing in the woods, known as silvopasturing, could be a beneficial practice for all involved.
To give farmers a greater incentive to convert forested acreage into silvopasture, the New York State Senate recently voted to amend the state's agricultural assessment program to include...
In the spirit of the 2012 London Olympics, Hampton held their own curd-related contests to celebrate the end of their first-ever cheese week.
Children enjoyed building towers of cheese boxes and won a prize if they managed to pile them up as tall as themselves.
Participants also played a themed word search and quiz on Saturday, March 31. They bowled balls into cheese boxes and had to catch the mouse coming down one of three tubes.

This tangy and sweet cream cheese dessert can be served in martini glasses for flair.
Add strawberries and peppercorns to a nonmetal, airtight container and submerge berries in vinegar. Seal the container and let it sit in a warm, dry spot for at least a day.
