Which takeaway cup proved "thin, watery, muddy and as much fun to drink as the remains of a day-old can of beer someone has dropped a cigarette butt into"? Find out in Leslie Williams' Take Out Coffee Survey. Meantime, Elizabeth Field tries a soup which is "thick, with a sour aftertaste". Blimey, isn't there any good news in this March's Megabytes? You bet there is: cracking coffees; great cooking from Café Paradiso, extraordinary whiskey from Irish Distillers, and a sweet legal victory for Toby Simmonds of the Real Olive Co. The best falafels you have ever cooked, bio-dyn wines that benefit from BGS, and more saucy academia as Gastronomica gets its kit off. We also have more reader's letters, and a great competition for bottles of the very special Jameson Gold. March's Megabytes, the one and only!
