Food blogging is one area of my life where I can honestly say I find myself perpetually delighted, and that’s mostly down to the people I meet. Food bloggers want to meet you. They want to eat with you. They want to show you around. So that’s how it came to be that on the morning after the eat fest that was Eat Drink Blog 2012, Hayes of Adeladie food blog The Chopping Board (who wasn’t even at the conference) and Sarah (who was) went on a coffee crawl with Perth blogger Ai-Ling (who doesn’t even drink coffee) and I (who most definitely does). We hit three cafés in less than three hours and thoroughly enjoyed every microgram of caffeine imparted on us by this 'city of churches'.]]> http://www.corridorkitchen.com/2012/11/eat-drink-blog-adelaide-coffee-crawl/feed/ 9 http://www.corridorkitchen.com/2012/11/the-kindest-thing-you-can-do-is-eat-it/ http://www.corridorkitchen.com/2012/11/the-kindest-thing-you-can-do-is-eat-it/#comments Tue, 06 Nov 2012 06:30:17 +0000 http://www.corridorkitchen.com/?p=4700 in which I respectfully disagree

At the third annual Eat Drink Blog conference this year, blogger Tammi Jonas and chef Simon Bryant ran a panel discussion on local and seasonal food which quickly became a discussion of food ethics. Controversially, both agreed that they would not refuse a meal served to them by their host, even if it clashed with their principles. I want to briefly examine the line of argument that says if someone serves you up a platter of something you can’t stomach or have an objection to, it is more disrespectful not to eat it than to eat it. Please note I mean no disrespect to either Tammi Jonas or Simon Bryant. The decisions they choose to make regarding food are up to them.]]> http://www.corridorkitchen.com/2012/11/the-kindest-thing-you-can-do-is-eat-it/feed/ 22
