All children are told by their parents to “eat your greens!” But an outbreak in Europe of a deadly type of bacteria may change this. Although bacteria is in the gut of humans and other animals, some types are deadly such as E. coli. E coli is usually found in processed meats such as hamburgers or in dairy products such as cheese, milk, butter and ice cream. But now it has been found in vegetables and has killed 22 people in Germany. People in Germany are advised to avoid eating raw tomatoes, cucumbers and leafy salads until further notice. Just washing vegetables may not be enough to remove the bacteria. Perhaps the most effective way of killing the germs is to boil the food! (by Prof. Simon Smith)

Perhaps the least well-known of Japanese foods is natto. Everyone has heard of sushi, tempura, and wasabi but very few have heard of natto. This is probably for a very good reason: it tastes…well, it’s hard to describe. It is a food that many would describe as a “love it or hate it food”. Oddly enough, there is perhaps a foreign equivalent, a food that some people really love and others can’t stand. It is called Marmite. Like natto, Marmite is known for its very distinctive taste which can be described having a strong, slightly salty flavour. Like natto it is also very nutritious and many children in the UK are brought up on it. It contains yeast extract, salt, vegetable extract and vitamins: B1, B2. (by Prof. Simon Smith)
