The Telegraph played a blinder over the weekend with two great food news stories. I loved this one about doing the restaurant equivalent of a pub crawl. Instead of glugging pints, the idea is to trawl around five Michelin restaurants eating a single course in each place.

Much more likely to set the cat among the pigeons is this story in which the food writer Catherine Brown reckons that haggis was invented south of the border. I’d always thought that it had French roots and that haggis was a corruption of the French word hache  meaning chopped.
