digital food fight


Having re-discovered google fight and having just photographed, re-touched and uploaded some new fruit images it got us wondering who would be the 'fruit of all fruits' in a digital food fight... so we lined up the following 8 juicy contestants: pineapples, strawberries, kiwi, bananas, grapes, apples oranges and lemons which would be the most searched for fruit, across the world right now..?
Unsurprisingly pineapples [16400000] lost to strawberries [37500000] whilst bananas [49100000] overcame kiwis [18200000] next was apples [33400000] crushing grapes [16100000] and finally the arch rivals lemons [7350000] being easily beaten by oranges [12300000] - just to complete citrus wars, limes [1190000] just beat grapefruits [1070000]

So the final line-up starting with most popular: bananas, strawberries, apples, kiwi, oranges, pineapple, grapes and lemons. Draw your own conclusions as to why bananas reign supreme.

Books For Cooks

Books For Cooks in Londons Blenheim Crescent is a smallish shop crammed from floor to ceiling with cookery books on every conceivable food subject. Food books demand browsing and books for cooks encourage this. Another advantage is the owners knowledge of cookery publishing and what is in print or out of print. We have been visiting the shop from it’s early days in 1985 until today and it never ceases to inspire & intrigue. Like many restaurants they also have a test kitchen with a program of cookery classes – I guess it’s a sign of the times that the extra revenue helps the shop survive ...

Whilst in this part of West London it’s a short walk to Rough Trade to check out the latest indie record releases…another highly recommended shop
