What San Diego Foodstuff Has Been Reading Online

Do you know what to do with garlic scapes? Where do the curious names of Chinese dishes like “bean curd made by a pockmarked woman” come from? Should you really refrigerate chocolate chip cookie dough for 36 hours?

Lately, there have been some particularly interesting stories on food, or perhaps I just have found some extra time for reading. Regardless, if you haven’t come across these already, check them out:

  • “What’s Up With Chinese Menus: The stories behind ‘chicken with sexual life” and “bean curd made by a pockmarked woman” by Brian Palmer in Slate
  • “A Good Appetite: A Garlic Festival Without a Single Clove” by Melissa Clark in The New York Times
  • “Perfection? Hint: It’s Warm and Has a Secret” by David Leite in The New York Times
