My dear friend and self-confessed busybody @IqbalWahhab writes a blog with an excellent finger on the pulse about food culture and diversity. Please read/follow it (the cultural taxation one rang particularly true): http://www.iqbalwahhab.com/
Supper clubber @DeccanTiffin @priyadeshingkar works in migration and development and takes a keen interest in the history of food. She has a really unique perspective and her eyes on the ball with products that don't make the cut!
