The queen talked food

Back in Elizabethan times, Queen Elizabeth is said to have made 382 proclamations during her realm and more than 200 of them pertained to food. Just Hungry has a great post about food from the era:

One key ingredient merchant ships brought back in bigger quantities was sugar. It was still a luxury item, so the rich tried to use it as much as possible. Queen Elizabeth liked sugary sweets so much that her teeth turned black. This was turned into a fashion, so all ladies blackened their teeth and whitened their faces, following the example of their Queen.

Insanewiches takes the new Double Down and doubles it. You need to see the photo to truly understand it:

So it turns out the Double Down is not a fake. KFC is actually testing out a “sandwich” that uses two breaded, fried chicken breasts instead of bread. But I say why stop at just two chicken breasts?…or even three? Behold the Quadruple Down! With four fried chicken breasts, bacon, special sauce, Swiss and pepper jack cheese, the Quadruple Down can only mean one thing: quadruple bypass. And by the way, this isn’t the first sandwich that’s used meat as bread.

What is this, Food Day? Here’s a link to a video on the White House garden.

Sucrose, glucose, fructose, etc. If you’re curious about what all those sweeteners are all about, take a look at this Los Angeles Times article.
