don’t need to tell you that food has fashions. Remember when every restaurant with any ambition had a spinach salad with pecans, goat Icheese and some sort of onion shaving? That’s now passé even in its last refuge, the twee cafes of Rust Belt suburbs. Or when truffles seemed to sprout from menus like, er, mushrooms, only to disappear almost as quickly, presumably off to hibernate in some subterranean darkness? For the last five to 10 years, the most notable fashion has been for the complex, spicy and exotic. Foodies exchange worried tips for storing the “basic” spices now grown too numerous for any sort of conventional cupboard. Bitter supertasters exchange angry polem- ics on the snobs who don’t seem to realise that those of us with less blunted palates might not want every beverage well fortified with hops and an extra-strong helping of Angosturas. Those whose sensitive or age- ing gastrointestinal tracts cannot cope with all that glorious capsaicin sigh, and order the roasted chicken. Again. History is reaction and counterreaction.

vengers: Age of Ultron scored the second- biggest domestic opening in history this weekend, kicking off summer blockbuster Aseason with a mammoth $187.7m debut. Globally, the film is a juggernaut, pulling in an estimated $627m in 12 days of release. At that pace, Avengers: Age of Ultron should pass $1bn, particularly after it opens in China on May 12. One record remained tantalisingly out of grasp for Captain America, Iron Man and company, however. Going into the weekend many analysts predicted that Avengers: Age of Ultron would top the $207.4m haul posted in 2012 by the first film in the super-team series. That box office high-water mark will stand... at least until Star Wars: The Force Awakens lands in theatres this Christmas. Part of the issue may have been weaker reviews than the first Avengers film, as well as competition from the NBA playoffs, the Kentucky Derby and the hotly anticipated boxing match between Floyd Mayweather Jr and Manny Pacquiao. The Avengers: Age of Ultron results are still an aston- ishing feat and a testament to the powerful sway that Disney and Marvel have over moviegoers around the world. The three biggest North American debuts in history are now all Marvel movies, with Avengers: Age of Ultron displacing Iron Man 3 and its $174.1m opening from its runner-up perch on the all-time list. “It would be a shame to see headlines saying Avengers scores Avengers 2 fails by not setting opening weekend records,” said Phil Contrino, vice-president and chief analyst at BoxOffice.com. “This is still a massive second biggest debut, but there’s something about the movie industry where people feel every weekend should set a new record.” Roughly $18m of Avengers” opening weekend loot opening with $187.7m came from 364 Imax screens, while premium large format screens scored a record $13.5m haul.

HYPER SUDOKU How to play Kakuro: KAKURO The kakuro grid, unlike in sudoku, can be of any size. It has rows and columns, and dark cells like in a crossword. And, just like in a crossword, some of the dark cells will contain numbers. Some cells will contain two numbers. However, in a crossword the numbers reference clues. In a kakuro, the numbers are all you get! They denote the total of the digits in the row or column referenced by the number. Within each collection of cells - called a run - any of the numbers 1 to 9 may be used but, like sudoku, each number may only be used once.
