Hershey adding heat to Kraft's bid for Cadbury?
The Wall Street Journal, citing unnamed sources, reported Friday that the charitable trust that controls Hershey is pushing the Pennsylvania-based chocolate-maker to launch a $17 billion bid for Cadbury.
Last week, Kraft made a formal offer for Cadbury, reiterating its earlier $16 billion-plus bid for the company. Cadbury again decidedly rejected Kraft.
With Hershey seeming more likely to make an offer, a bidding war for Cadbury "is a definite possibility," said Erin Swanson, a stock analyst for Morningstar Inc.

Chocolatey cereal doesn't appear to cure h1n1
Chalk this one up to a supercharged political environment that now attaches suspicions to cereal-box labels as well as virus vaccines: Kellogg has just announced that it is backing away from the “Immunity” claim on its Rice Krispies and Cocoa Krispies cereals.As we reported Tuesday, critics recently scored Kellogg for emblazoning the claim, “Now Helps Support Your Child’s IMMUNITY” on the front of the packages after boosting the daily value of antioxidant vitamins A, C and E in the cereals to 25% last spring, from the earlier 10%.
San Francisco City Attorney Dennis Herrera protested that Kellogg’s claim implied that its cereals could help protect kids against the swine-flu epidemic, and might mislead parents -- though Kellogg had been developing the line for more than a year, well before the advent of the H1N1 scare, and rolled it out in May.
Of course, the ubiquity of the virus by now, the deaths it has caused, and the ambivalence of American parents about the H1N1 vaccine created a sensitive landing place for such allegations

For Kraft, What Price Cadbury?
After Tuesday’s results, the food company, led by Irene B. Rosenfeld, reaffirmed its interest in Cadbury, but stressed that it would maintain a disciplined approach. Kraft said it would continue to deliver — with or without Cadbury. But acquiring Cadbury would help it on the growth front. In late October, Cadbury raised its forecast for revenue and operating margins and now expects sales to grow by about 5 percent.

Taco Town! (or truck)
From the Enquirer.com
Taco Trucks!
People have been asking me if there were any taco trucks in Cincinnati for awhile now–they’re so popular on the west and east coast, and some other cities in between. But, no, we haven’t had any.
Now, suddenly, there are two taco truck businesses getting started. Unlike those cities, these are not owned by Mexican immigrants, but they sound like a lot of fun, and like they’re going to bring a great new element to eating out in Cincinnati. They are from Habanero and from Roy Silcott of Hyde Park Tavern.
Max Monks of Habanero is really doing a burrito truck. He will have his on the street this month. The Habanero Burrito Wagon will be a mobile catering truck, funkified with Clifton-style grafitti art, and ready to deliver burritos to bars and clubs late night, to sporting events, festivals, concerts–where ever there are a lot of people hungry for burritos.
His burritos will be made in the Clifton store, kept hot and be ready to deliver. They’ll have their signature Mad Max Fish Burrito, Calypso Chicken and the meatless Chuba Cabre. Soft Shell Tacos, salads, Mexican sodas and desserts will also be available.
You’ll be able to follow the truck on Twitter. It will say exactly where they’ll be and how long they’re planning to stay. It might say “5 p.m. at the US Bank Arena for hte Phish Concert or Mt. Lookout Square from 11 p.m.-12:30 a.m., etc.
Senor Roy’s Taco Patrol is from Roy Silcott, chef/owner of Hyde Park Tavern. Their truck will be a UPS style truck, wrapped in vinyl with a colorful logo, able to hold 3 workers, and equipped to make and assemble tacos, burritos, nachos, and salads in the truck. Silcott says they’ll be downtown every day, at sporting events, outside bars, hanging around construction sites. Their menu will include pork al pastor with pineapple in adobo sauce, fresh guacamole, pico de gallo, marinated flank steak. “It’s about bring ing affordable, quality food to the street.” he said. They’re a few weeks from being ready, but they’ll be out on the street this fall, too, and ready to go full-out by the spring. They’ll be on Twitter as well, so you’ll be able to check from your phone or computer the best way to get your Mexican food fix.
So- let the taco battle begin!

Could you eat pizza for 30 Days straight for 3 Meals a day?
Craig Scharoff's dream food is sausage pizza. And he has no doubt that he can eat it all day, every day. In fact, Scharoff is so confident that he is putting his money where his pizza-loving mouth is.
Near the end of September, one of Scharoff's co-workers at Greenwood Associates in Highland Park posted a notice on LTHForum.com, a Chicago-based culinary chat site, announcing a wager he'd entered into with Scharoff.
According to the co-worker, Ronnie Kaplan, the terms of this "low four figure" bet are simple: Scharoff "must eat sausage pizza for every meal during the month of October. The pizza must contain crust, sausage and cheese. All toppings, with the exception of lettuce on Taco Pizzas -- yes, he loves them -- and arugula and prosciutto -- he has no idea what either of these are -- must be cooked into the pizza. He cannot have dessert, chips or side dishes of any kind. No salads, no cereals, no slaw. Any significant caloric intake must be pizza."

What kind of person are you?
Your choice of beer can be as telling about your personality as what kind of clothing you wear or the car that you drive. And if you don't drink suds at all, or change brands depending on your mood -- well, that says something
What are you?
. . .he and his team found generic differences as well. For instance, people who prefer domestic beers over craft beers or imports are generally middle of the road in their politics. They're not nearly as conservative as people who don't drink beer at all, but not as liberal as people who prefer more exotic beer.Read all about it here
