A maid of honor was uninvited from the wedding, so she canceled the wedding cake.

She asked Reddit’s “Am I the A******? (AITA)” forum to weigh in. The bride — her now-ex-best friend — kicked her out of the wedding party and uninvited her. The maid of honor didn’t go into detail but said it was due to a dispute over makeup, hair and her “disinterest in the wedding.”

When the maid of honor told their mutuals what happened, the bride uninvited her.

“I was responsible for the cake at the wedding, but cancelled the order because I was uninvited and wanted to b…….

Good news for those whose New Year’s resolution is to eat healthy — you’ve got options.

Researchers from Harvard University have identified four common healthy eating patterns that can help reduce the risk of an early death by up to 20%.

The diet may also have profound health benefits during pregnancy, said Dr. Anum Sohail Minhas, an assistant professor of medicine at Johns Hopkins Medicine. In a recent study of nearly 7,800 women published in December, researchers found that those who followed the Mediterranean diet most closely around the time they conceived and during early pregnancy had about a 21 percent reduced risk of any pregnancy complications, such as pre-eclampsia, gestational diabetes or preterm birth.

“There definitely seems to be a protective effe…….

Wolfgang Puck is quite the grill master. In one of his TikTok videos, he revealed that he only sears room-temperature steak — never a frozen steak. After the steak is at room temperature, Puck recommends liberally seasoning both sides of the steak and adding a bit of oil on both sides. Then, he places the steak on a firewood and charcoal grill for optimal flavor and tastiness.

Puck’s aversion to grilling frozen steaks might be warranted. When you grill a frozen steak, you’ll get a deliciously crisp exterior, but the extreme temperature difference will cause the in…….

Inflight meals can be a hit or miss experience – especially if you are vegan or vegetarian.

The food on offer can vary from the heights of gourmet meals created with some of the most famous plant-based brands all the way down to a boiled apple (a real meal served to one of our Euronews Travel team members on a recent flight).

So what is there to eat mid-air and which airlines have the most innovative vegan options?

Just under 100 years ago, two men—one real estate agent and one chef—collaborated on a game-changing idea: cook hamburgers as quickly as possible, and sell them as cheaply as possible. Together, Edgar Waldo “Billy” Ingram and Walter Anderson opened the first White Castle restaurant in 1926, in Wichita, KS, and started selling square burgers for just five cents each. Back then, the pair couldn’t have imagined what their idea would pave the way for: a booming fast-food industry, that, in collective burger sales alone, made more than $92 billion in 2021.

Anderson’s first bu…….

French fries transcend fashion. Food trends come and go but chips persist as a source of comforting joy, something we all badly need this winter. For many, that will mean sun-gold chips doused in salt and vinegar, ketchup or mayo. But why stop there?

With budgets tight, loaded fries are currently enjoying a bounce as a relatively affordable, filling treat. Last year, Burger King introduced jazzed-up fries (topped with cheese sauce and/or bacon bits), as did several big-name pub chains. In that same period pub chip sales were up 15%, according to…….
