Irish site, global appeal

[waider]

I stumbled upon Great Food while searching for a recipe for carbonara. Actually, I'd just cooked same, using the recipe from Cooking for Blokes, and thought the presence of onions in said recipe didn't particularly seem right when I'd finished making it, so I was looking for an alternative. Anyway, the Great Food site looks pretty neat, but it'd be nice if they had an RSS feed for their news stuff rather than suggestion that you (a) make them your home page; (b) visit often; (c) sign up to some mailing list or other. Hello, 1995 just called, it wants its user interaction back.

Its CSS is also a mess, with bits of CSS stuck anyhow into the html in addition to a very dodgy css file. They'd be much better off doing a Wordpress site or something like that, which would automagically provide an rss feed too.

As for carbonara, the story is that U.S. and/or British troops in Italy during WWII were issued bacon and eggs. Some of them asked their Italian hosts to cook 'em up, whereupon the Italians invented carbonara. I don't know whether there's any truth to this.
