Deliveroo shares sink 31% in London debut

Deliveroo shares sink 31% in London debut
Pressure mounts on City’s efforts to boost profile as tech and listings hub post-Brexit
about an hour ago
Food-delivery startup Deliveroo Holdings sank as much as 31 per cent in its London debut after its initial public offering raised £1.5 billion, putting pressure on the City’s efforts to boost its profile as a technology and listings hub post-Brexit. It is one of the steepest trading debut falls for a major company on the London market for years.
The stock traded at 292 pence as of 8.21am in London, down from the IPO price of 390 pence a share, which was the bottom end of an initial range. Beset by concerns about its dual-class structure and workers rights, Deliveroo is the first of London’s top five deals this year not to price at the highest targeted valuation, data compiled by Bloomberg News show.

Meal Kit Monday: A Review of Dinnerly

Meal Kit Monday: A Review of Dinnerly

Jacqui Wedewer/The Daily Meal
Meal kit services have been around for years, but there are so many options that it can be overwhelming to figure out which one to choose. To help cut through the noise, I tried nine different meal kits that cater to various types of home chefs so you don't have to. I’ll be posting an honest review about my experience with a different meal kit every Monday.
People sign up for meal kit services for a plethora of reasons: to improve their cooking skills, cut down their grocery bill, or simply because cooking dinner every night gets old. But no matter the reason, it's not always easy to find the right one for you. Sure, there's the classics like HelloFresh and Blue Apron, but those can be expensive, especially if you're trying to budget in the New Year. Enter Dinnerly. The meal kit service prides itself on being affordable and fuss-free. Dinnerly sends ingredients and recipes straight to your door for a weekly cost and you can cancel at any time. I recently tried one week's worth of Dinnerly's meals; this is what I thought.

An Auckland Regional Public Health Service (ARPHS) spokesperson said that in the last 24 hours it has received around 20 calls from people who ate the food provided by the meal kit company.
When fish isn't chilled properly, it can produce histamine that can be toxic to humans leading to scombroid poisoning, according to the New Zealand Food Safety website.

Restaurants Selling Groceries | Mental Floss

The restaurant landscape has transformed rapidly since the start of the novel coronavirus pandemic. While the most common change has been switching to pick-up and delivery only, some businesses have found more creative ways to bring in revenue while meeting the needs of their communities. As CNN reports, some restaurants that have been forced to turn away diners are reopening to sell groceries.
With more people feeding themselves at home and stocking up on food, once-common pantry staples have become harder to find. Everything from flour to peanut butter has disappeared from supermarket shelves. Restaurants, meanwhile, are facing the opposite problem—restrictions placed on gathering in public means much of their inventory is going unsold. Selling raw ingredients directly to consumers is an innovative solution.
