King Charles Bans Foie Gras at Buckingham Palace

Has his ascension from the Prince of Wales to King Charles changed the U.K.’s new monarch? When it comes to his policy on foie gras, it’s only gotten bigger. As Prince of Wales, Charles banned chefs at his residences from serving foie gras in 2008, according to the Telegraph. (Buckingham Palace apparently followed suit, but not until three years later.)

Krispy Kreme never shies away from a chance to offer new varieties of doughnuts. So the question isn’t if the doughnut chain will be releasing a special lineup of Christmas-themed treats, but instead what the theme will be. Well, that question was answered the day after Thanksgiving, when the “Santa’s Bake Shop” collection debuted. The three new doughnut […]

Figgy Pudding Spam Puts a Seasonal Spin on the Classic Canned Meat

When Spam released a bizarre pumpkin spice variety in autumn of 2019, many thought the seasonal stunt would backfire. Instead, that launch ended up being wildly successful, as Pumpkin Spice Spam sold out in about seven hours. So perhaps that’s why, as odd as it sounds, the brand is pitching their new Christmas concoction with such confidence as […]

White Castle’s New Thanksgiving Treat is here: Stuffin’ Muffins

As Food & Wine reports, fast food chain White Castle has started its own Thanksgiving tradition. In 1991, White Castle released its own Original Slider Stuffing recipe — a way of turning their tiny burgers into innards for your turkey. But more recently, the brand has been churning out new annual twists on its stuffing: Last year, […]

Wendy’s Introduces a Peppermint Frosty Just in Time for the Holidays

The term “iconic” gets tossed around a lot, but the Frosty truly is a Wendy’s icon. The somewhere-between-a-milkshake-and-an-ice-cream treat has been on the burger chain’s menu since the beginning in 1969, and Wendy’s has been pretty protective of it ever since. The classic chocolate flavor didn’t even get a vanilla spin-off until 2006. And this past summer, […]
