Editor’s note Remember the Hamburglar, that charming little moon-faced boy with a penchant for Big Macs? He’s grown up into the kind of asshole who wears a tie around his neck without wearing a shirt. The new fedora-wearing burger terroriser comes as part of McDonald’s brand overhaul, with Ronald McDonald having recently been given a new gilet and cargo pants. The Hamburglar’s return was teased in an advert posted by McDonald’s in which he loses his shit after hearing about the restaurant’s new sirloin third-pound burgers. So far some people have mused that the new Hamburglar looks like he doesn’t own a TV, while others have suggested he is too good-looking to be a beef thief, christening him Mumford and Buns and saying they would willingly hand over their burgers to him. In a statement made to Mashable, McDonald’s said of the new Hamburglar: “We felt it was time to debut a new look for the HambuThe rglar after he’s been out of the public eye all these

Hamburger Grabbing a burger abroad can be a perfect introduction to the flavors and ingredients of a foreign culinary scene in a way that is familiarly delicious. After all, most international burger restaurants are fabulously committed to putting their own stamp on the American delicacy—whether by adopting homemade cooking techniques, sourcing fresh meat from nearby farms, using indigenous ingredients or developing

creative flavor partnerships that make for an unexpected result. In Santiago, Chile, for example, head to La Burguesía and spring for any of the options listed on the menu’s gourmet section. (The avant-garde betweenthe-bun combinations include the Blue Pear, a crowd-pleaser featuring a topping of bacon, blue cheese and pear.) At the Holyrood 9A in Edinburgh, Scotland, adventurous diners can take a stab at its haggis version for a true Scottish experience. And Flippin’ Burgers in Stockholm, Sweden, takes its local approach seriously while weaving American-burger-joint paraphernalia into its decor. A

NUTS Nuts and seeds are healthful, natural foods that are full of beneficial nutrients and phytochemicals. Although the myth that nuts and seeds are fattening has persisted, the research suggests that nuts are actually beneficial for weight loss. In any case, it’s not the fat content of a diet that makes it healthy, it’s the nutrient content. And based on their nutrient content, nuts are a health-promoting source of calories. Nuts and seeds are nutritionally important. Nuts and seeds contain a spectrum of micronutrients including LDL cholesterol-lowering phytosterols; circulation-promoting arginine; minerals, including potassium, calcium, magnesium, and selenium; and antioxidants, including flavonoids, resveratrol, tocopherols (vitamin E), and carotenoids. Eating nuts and seeds reduces the

risk of cardiovascular disease Epidemiological studies have consistently shown that nut consumption is beneficial for heart health. Eating five or more servings of nuts per week is estimated to reduce the risk of coronary heart disease by 35%.1 Eating nuts and seeds protects against sudden cardiac death and reduces cholesterol and inflammation.1-3 Nuts and seeds aid weight loss. Someone who is trying to lose weight should not be trying to avoid nuts; in fact, in obese individuals, adding nuts to the diet aided in weight loss and also improved insulin sensitivity, which could help to prevent or reverse diabetes.4 Nonetheless, nuts should not be eaten to excess. Nuts and seeds are high in nutrients but also high in calories, so they should be eaten with consideration for one’s caloric needs. One ounce daily is usually appropriate for women trying to lose weight and 1.5 – 2 ounces

for overweight men. Nuts and seeds of course should be eaten in larger amounts for the slim, highly physically active people who could use the extra calories. Nut consumption may enhance lifespan. In the Adventist Health Study, a number of lifestyle factors were found to be associated with longevity. Those who had a high level of physical activity, followed a vegetarian diet, and ate nuts frequently lived on average 8 years longer than those who did not share those habits.5 Similarly in the Nurses’ Health Study, nut consumption was identified as a dietary factor associated with reduced risk of death from cardiovascular disease and cancers.6 New research continues to confirm these observations.7 Each nut and seed has a unique nutritional profile that lends unique health benefits: Almonds are rich in antioxidants. In one study, people ate either almonds or a snack with a similar fat profile each day for 4 weeks, and the subjects who ate almonds showed reduced oxidative stress markers.8 Walnuts. Diabetics who ate walnuts daily for 8 weeks experienced an enhanced ability of the blood vessels to dilate, indicating better blood pressure regulation.9 There is also evidence that walnuts may protect against breast cancer.10 Pistachios and Mediterranean pine nuts have the highest plant sterol content of all the nuts; plant sterols

Black truffles (aka black diamonds) can be purchased year-round at specialty food stores and online (D’Artagnan is an excellent source). If you’re short on time, swing by Whole Foods and grab a tin of Urbani black truffle and mushroom purée. 3. Fresh pesto. This one’s a piece of cake to pick up. And it’ll make her eggs green! A side of ham (serrano or ibérico if you’re fancy) would be a good move here. The combination of buttery eggs and briny lox is the stuff of waking dreams. Sliced thin, they can be draped over the eggs or folded on top like ribbon. 5. Showstopping gold leaf. You can find edible gold leaf at high-end kitchen supply stores like Sur la Table. She will light up when she sees it. 6. Cheese, glorious cheese.

A showering of nutty parmesan, a dollop of tangy goat cheese, whatever tickles her fancy. 7. Fresh herbs and edible flowers. Edible flowers are common in better grocery stores like Whole Foods.

As for herbs, try laying down a few criss-crossed, whole chives. 8. Undetectable grated bottarga. She’ll taste these yellow-orange shavings of dried fish roe before she sees them — surprise! 9.
