A weekly round-up of foodie news and features online.

* Should we be eating insects? Tim Dowling at The Guardian thinks so.

* Lively discussion on the Word of Mouth blog on the merits of cloned meat.

* 2008 is apparently the International Year of the Potato. (Maybe this will give me some inspiration for what to do with the mountain of potatoes I have in my kitchen. Or I could just make this soup from the Chocolate & Zucchini blog).

* The mystery of the origin of fortune cookies has been solved, according to the New York Times.
