Food roundup for april 8 1

Here’s what was being written about today in the world of food and dining news:

• Eating Our Words gets things started by offering up five alternatives to wheat pasta. Technically, any food item other than what pasta should qualify for the list, but you get the idea.

​

• Fat City promotes the ultimate showdown, pitting Bud Ice versus Natural Ice in an aluminum can battle royale of mediocrity.

• City of Ate is determined to get annoying songs stuck in everyone’s heads with a list of the top ten food product jingles. Thankfully there’s nary a five-dollar foot long in sight.

• And lastly, Clean Plate Charlie opts to feature Dragon Stout in their latest edition of Beer of the Week. It certainly sounds imposing, and at 7.5% ABV it packs a pretty decent punch.
