Battenberg Britain: A Nostalgic Tribute to the Foods we Loved $1.99 When convenience took precedence over nutrition and ‘5 a day’ was yet be dreamt up, packaged food reigned supreme. Wasn’t it wonderful to create great comfort food in minutes, and doesn’t each food bring back great memories of your youth, even if the thought of eating it all now makes you cringe? What ever possessed us to eat – and enjoy – a Vesta Beef Curry after a night out at the pub? Or why was there nothing quite like Mum’s butterscotch Angel Delight when you were feeling bit off-colour? Why is Boxing Day not the same if Gran doesn’t buy in Eat Me Dates? And why do tinned meat pies taste so . . . well, distinctive? Battenberg Britain answers all these questions and contributes hundreds of other facts, some of which it might be best not to know. Depending on where you stand in the gourmet stakes, this book celebrates the very best (worst) in ‘British nosh’, and all the yummy (revolting) things we scoffed with no qualms whatsoever, but which dieticians today would tell us are produce of the devil. Every one of the foods is lovingly remembered and fantastically presented in this gift book, perfect for all those afficionados of great British food!

Serenity: A Boxing Memoir $18.95 “This is a surprising book, a terrific book. It’s not about boxing, but about an odd, demanding world in which boxing is the thread, the key to existence. Wiley deftly broadens the delineation of this world and its people. Perceptive reporting is the foundation and perceptive reporting is rare enough. Wiley enhances it with clear, quick writing laced with humor and with a sensitivity that lends brilliance to this impressive work.”-Robert W. Creamer, author of Baseball and Other Matters in 1941. “Ralph Wiley, with Serenity, has produced an original book about the ring. . . . He can dig beneath the surface and show us what really happened in a bout: why Thomas Hearns, with too much faith in his powerful right hand, lost to Sugar Ray Leonard in their first match. . . . Or why Roberto Durán was acting out of prudence, not cowardice, when he quit in his second fight against Leonard. . . . Yet the book is not really about boxing. Boxing in Serenity is what T. S. Eliot, speaking of plot, called the meat a burglar brings to distract the watchdog. The book is really about growing up in a world where you had to defend yourself physically to survive.”-New York Times. “Wiley’s rapport with boxers is profound.”-Publisher’s Weekly. “Wiley is one writer who really knows his way around a boxing ring. . . . [He writes] with passion and understanding about complex, violent men and their oddly redemptive sport.”-Booklist. Ralph Wiley is the author or coauthor of several works, most recently Born to Play: The Eric Davis Story.

Meat Markets have a beef: Despite greater meat consumption, high competition will cut into revenue

Meat Markets have a beef, despite greater meat consumption, high competition will cut into revenue. Making the cut in America’s declining Meat Markets industry has gotten tougher. While industry concentration is low and most firms employ fewer than five people, internal and external competition is high. Likewise, capital intensity and barriers to entry are low, but industry establishments have fallen at an average annualized rate of 1.5% during the five years to 2011, while employment has fallen at a rate of 0.8% during the same period. Despite relatively easy access to the industry, highly competitive operating conditions have reduced the number of locations at the expense of employees. According to IBISWorld industry anlst Josh McBee, the increasing presence of non-traditional retailers in the food market is changing the entire domestic food retail landscape. Conventional relationships are changing among food retailers, wholesalers and manufacturers. As a result of more players in the Meat Markets industry, the food market is becoming more competitive.

In the United States, supermarkets, grocery stores and big-box retailers are burning meat markets. Each provides a large and diverse product range that benefits from the cost savings associated with economies of scale. Because meat markets typically operate on a smaller scale than larger, more diversified supermarkets, the industry’s purchasing costs as a share of revenue are considerably higher. As a result, US meat markets are struggling to stay in business, and industry profit margins are at an estimated 2.0%.

Consumption drives demand for meat and poultry products, and per capita meat consumption has been rising during the past five years. However, the fact that meat markets are underperforming suggests a leakage of revenue out of this industry. Industry revenue as a share of the total food retail market is steadily falling. In fact, IBISWorld estimates meat market revenue to fall at an annualized rate of 0.9% during the five years to 2011, with an anemic 0.1% bump expected to bring total revenue to about $5.0 billion in 2011. Through 2016, recovering meat consumption and stability in meat prices will at least reduce the industry’s losses to an annualized rate of 0.6% for a total of $4.8 billion…click here to read the free complete article on the Meat Markets industry.
