British cooker manufacturer Belling is celebrating its 100th anniversary this week with an eight-foot interactive cake and, for five days, social media users can add to the design by tweeting a birthday message. The 'tweets' will be auto-printed onto edible paper using edible ink and added instantly to the cake. The eight-foot high birthday cake has been created by quirky cake artist Connie Viney and the design - which shows historic British events from the last 100 years - was crowdsourced via Belling's Facebook community.

Sharing a meal is a great way to get to know people, and sharing a meal without the constraints of arguing over the bill, worrying about the bar tab or feeling that you have to enrol your 'polite restaurant' etiquette is even better. Having just lost my Supper Club virginity I feel it is only fair (and possibly my morale duty) to spread the word to as many people as will listen, that if you want to go out and eat, meet new people, dine like a family and have a thoroughly great time then you need look no further than an Edible Experience.

Competition now closed. Congratulations to our winner, Lona Jones (Gwynedd).

Whilst millions of Brits claim to be foodies, in reality many people struggle with the pronunciation of exotic dishes and delicacies. A poll by GLORIOUS! Foods found many common food faux pas, which include the mispronunciation of the Greek dip 'Tzatziki' and the Italian ham 'prosciutto'. Likewise, the silent 'G' in the dish 'Gnocchi' can cause some embarrassment, while many struggle to say ‘nicoise’ correctly.
