Britain consumes more chocolate than any other country Most people love chocolate but it turns out no one does more than the Brits – with the average Brit found to have consumed 8.4 kg of chocolate in 2017, according to new data.
Chocolate consumption around the world is on the rise, according to Mintel Global New Products Database (GNPD), which found that in the past year alone, Easter chocolate production has risen by 23 per cent 'Easter eggs should be banned for children under four' Dr Becky Spelman, chief psychologist at Harley Street’s Private Therapy Clinic, is calling for Easter eggs to be banned for consumption for children under the age of four, claiming that giving them the opportunity to binge on chocolate so young will give them an unhealthy relationship with food later on.
"Once a child starts overeating behaviour at a young age it’s very hard to turn things around for them in terms of food and their eating habits moving forward, leading to obesity from at very young age," she added According to Tesco, pineapple has overtaken avocado as the UK’s fastest-selling fruit, with sales increasing by 15 per cent in 2017.
It argues that the dairy industry is struggling as a result of all the dairy-free alternatives on the market and the public are being duped too UK confectionary giant Cadbury has launched two new chocolate bars, hoping to lure those with a sweet tooth and perhaps help combat some of the challenges it faces from rising commodity prices and a post-Brexit slump in the value of the pound.The company’s new products will be peanut butter and mint flavoured.
New research has revealed that children across the UK just aren’t stepping up to the plate when it comes to simple facts about the food they eat – with almost half of children under eight not knowing that eggs come from chickens
Restaurant review: serviceable fare at Joe's Garage | Stuff.co.nz
value menu food staff
At the Riccarton branch (there are four Joe's in Christchurch, one in Rangiora, the original restaurant in Queenstown and four in the North Island), you are greeted by giant double spanner door handles, setting the tone for the understated garage theme.
But the caramelised onions had been overdone, and were marred by a bitter note and the coleslaw was a mess: large slices of red onion dominated and the dressing lacked any discernable flavour.
My "Mr Nice Guy" was three good-sized cuts of crumbed lamb schnitzel served with pea mash and that same coleslaw.
The real questions with Joe's, as with all restaurants, is not what the menu or decor promises but how the kitchen delivers on that promise.
Simple, well executed staples at a fair price is the implicit promise Joe's makes and, on most of the dishes, that promise was kept.

My first burger was a large cheeseburger, consumed circa 1969 at a fabulously on-point joint in Kensington Church Street, London W8; a treat tied in with something my mother was doing: visiting her hairdresser in Kensington High Street, possibly, or trying on Tt-shirt dresses in Biba a few doors down the road, while I sat impatiently, yearning to grow up, watching skinny Sixties It-chicks smearing themselves in plum lipglosslip-gloss and sparkly eyeshadows at the free-for-all (literally, I suspect) make-up counter.
With its postered walls, wonky wooden tables and trendy bentwood chairs, “The Home of the Heavenly Hamburger” had a chocolate -brownie-coloured pop-art-nouveau aesthetic similar to Biba’s.
Sucking up stylistic influences, I was instantaneously sold on Brit hippy-chic and faux Americana – and the burgers (and chips) were magnificent.
I never made it to the very first British McDonalds – 1974, in Woolwich, cost of a Big Mac 43p – however I was an early and enthusiastic adopter of the import’s Haymarket and Edgware Road branches.
And then, in 1977, just as I hit my teens, something seismic occurred, burger-rwise: the arrival of a proper American restaurant in Covent Garden, an offshoot of New York’s own Joe Allen, which had been serving steak and cheesecake to pre-and post-theatre dinner crowds in its atmospheric theatre-poster bedecked, bare brick-walled room on West 46th Sttreet since 1965.
Classics Revisited: Joe Allen
Everyone who eats out in London has a Joe Allen story to tell; the Covent Garden restaurant is up there with The Mousetrap as one of Theatreland’s longest-running productions.
and end with at least one of the table involved in an over-tired dark night of the soul.
My all-time favourite Joe Allen story however is when a table of dapper gents in eveningwear gave us some spare tickets to the Olivier awards at the Royal Opera House, insisting that black-tie was optional.
Alas, the look on Helen Mirren’s face as we sauntered up the red carpet in shirtsleeves and jeans, posing for the paps, told a different story, although she may have been more forgiving of our sartorial faux pas had she known that we’d been boozily brunching in what has always been the unofficial canteen for hungry luvvies.
