The folks at Truwhip are trying to bring the cream puff back.  "Take your taste buds back to the days of your youth," the company says about their new recipe.

They call it a "retro" taste, we just call it good eats.

Ever since the time of the Druids, many customs and traditions have evolved in celebration of Samhain (pronounced sau-an) - meaning the end of summer, which is New Year’s Day in the Celtic Calendar. When Christianity came to Ireland, the church took a dim view of Druidic festivals and created the vigil of All Soul’s Evening or All Hallow’s Eve on October 31st, the Feast of All Saints on November 1st, and All Souls Day on November 2nd.

All three days were regarded as one of the most important times of the year and were celebrated throughout Ireland with feasting, merrymaking and divination games on Halloween, the completion of farming activities by Samhain, and rituals out of respect and remembrance for departed kinfolk on All Souls Day.

Fall in Maine brings up pictures of golden leaves, cool ocean breezes and for the food enthusiast, plates of steaming rustic food.  Autumn is a special time of year here, the lobster season is near its peak and the hardier flavors of winter are slowly making their way to the table.

Fortunately, there is a festival that combines all of these elements.  This past weekend thousands flocked to the state's largest city, Portland, for "Harvest on the Harbor," an annual food festival dubbed as the state's premiere food and wine experience.

Autumn is a time when, sadly, salads start to be phased out from the dinner table.  But the good news is, it's not winter just yet.

Olivia's Organics does only one thing-- salad-- and recently they called on food bloggers to come up with creative ways to showcase greens.  Three recipes were picked: Baked Green Tomato Herb Salad, Summer Salad: Farmers Market Bounty, Summer Salad Lyonnaise ("Frisee" Aux Lardons).

Our vote is for the Summer Salad Lyonnaise, which calls for an amazing eight slices of bacon for the dressing-- but the folks at Olivia's Organics decided to stay with the healthy and picked the baked green tomato herb salad as the overall winner.

Roadside eateries have quite a bad reputation here in the UK. Mention stopping in a motorway service station and you’re frequently met with looks of shock, if not pure horror.

Why?  Well unlike my experience of the classic roadside American diner the UK service station is a place of remorseless functionality, lacking in personality or value for money. It is hardly difficult to comprehend why in a recent study car hire agency Europcar found that 95 percent of UK motorists believe the choice, price and quality of roadside food is unacceptable and a massive 80 percent of those surveyed said they’d rather go hungry than stop to eat.

The whoopie pie has gone upscale thanks in part to two bakers from Newburyport, Massachusetts.

Alan Mons and Julie Ganong's Chococa Baking Company is churning out several "whoopies," a modern take on the tradition whoopie pie.  But unlike its predecessor, this pie isn't made from ordinary chocolate and marshmallows.
