And the club, along with restaurants aspiring to serve continental food, was bolstered by a growing taste for a new ingredient in town: processed cheese. “Sandwiches gradually started becoming popular in the 1980s because of the [wider] availability of cheese and mushrooms,” says Chaudhry. Until the 1980s, processed cheese was largely imported, and its use was limited to the rich, who would frequent establishments such as the Gymkhana. As Lahori taste buds adapted to and appreciated cheese, production was initiated locally. Demand for cheeseburgers and sandwiches skyrocketed in the 1990s, with a growing number of Pakistanis who’d traveled to the U.S. aspiring to re-create offerings from various popular American chains. One of these is exceptionally familiar. Even today, online food groups in Pakistan are peppered with people asking the community where they can find a cheese­steak in Lahore “like the one at Pat’s.” Many of them post images of the cheese­steaks from the original shop at 9th and Passyunk. ]]> food cheesesteaks philadelphia history pakistan lahore sandwiches https://pinboard.in/ https://pinboard.in/u:jm/b:b5c3a5e02992/ A New Drug Switched Off My Appetite.

Farm-stage emissions include processes such as the application of fertilizers – both organic (“manure management”) and synthetic; and enteric fermentation (the production of methane in the stomachs of cattle). Combined, land use and farm-stage emissions account for more than 80% of the footprint for most foods. Transport is a small contributor to emissions. For most food products, it accounts for less than 10%, and it’s much smaller for the largest GHG emitters. In beef from beef herds, it’s 0.5%. Not just transport, but all processes in the supply chain after the food left the farm – processing, transport, retail and packaging – mostly account for a small share of emissions.

There was a strange, circular movement between tiki food and American Chinese food. Trader Vic’s created tiki food by making American Chinese food seem more tropical; American Chinese restaurants took his dishes right back and made them more American Chinese. The American Chinese version tends toward cheaper imitation crab, which is made, usually, of pollock blended with starch and other binders, crab flavoring, and red food coloring. Imitation crab simply wasn’t available to Trader Vic—it started being produced in 1975—and it’s also neither Polynesian nor Chinese, but Japanese. American Chinese crab rangoon is a 1940s crab-and-cream-cheese dip stuffed into a wonton and deep-fried—a pure distillation of tiki fusion weirdness. Crab rangoon is, after all, a preposterous dish. Many of the responses I got in my survey were sheepish, or seemed overly proud, as if to mask the problem of loving a dish that is utterly uncool, wildly outdated, and not even in the same ballpark as authenticity.]]> tiki kitsch food gastro crab crab-rangoon trader-vics usa history https://pinboard.in/ https://pinboard.in/u:jm/b:1e3033fc5d0d/ Lusca Irish Wine 2019-08-13T09:05:33+00:00 https://llewellynsorchard.ie/premium-quality-from-irish-orchards/lusca-irish-wine/ jmThe entire wine-making process is carried out in Lusk at the vineyard, from picking to pressing, fermenting, maturing and bottling.

[....] When you reach the end of the Whole30, you’re supposed to add the forbidden food groups back into your diet one at a time. The goal is to figure out which foods are making you feel sluggish, bloated, or just generally not great, so you can ostensibly keep on avoiding them forever. I didn’t do that part. I just jumped right back into eating what I wanted — but suddenly nothing was the same. That first bowl of ice cream I’d been looking forward to for weeks was quickly followed by sharp stomach pains and what can best be described (grossly, but accurately) as bubble gut. [....] The good news, according to gastrointestinal specialist Kim Barrett, a professor of medicine at the University of California, San Diego, is that I’m not crazy. The bad news is that dairy no longer agrees with my body’s biology. Turns out, it is possible to suddenly make yourself lactose intolerant. “To some extent, our ability to handle lactose is a use-it-or-lose-it phenomenon,” Barrett says. The body digests lactose — a disaccharide — by using lactase, an enzyme in the small intestine, to break it down into the monosaccharides glucose and galactose, which can then be absorbed. “If you don’t have the [lactose] substrate in the diet, you start to reduce the synthesis of the lactase enzyme to digest it,” Barrett explains. “After a period of completely excluding lactose from the diet, you may not have any of those digestive enzymes present.” ]]> diet food lactose lactase intolerance whole30 milk cheese https://pinboard.in/ https://pinboard.in/u:jm/b:ccc510ac1aa0/ The 100 best restaurants, cafes and places to eat in Ireland 2018-10-10T09:47:52+00:00 https://www.irishtimes.com/life-and-style/food-and-drink/the-100-best-restaurants-cafes-and-places-to-eat-in-ireland-1.3514960 jm irish-times food cafes eating dublin foodie restaurants https://pinboard.in/ https://pinboard.in/u:jm/b:5d8f47dcad70/ on the etymology of "ramen" 2018-05-30T16:15:09+00:00 https://twitter.com/Johnny_Strategy/status/1001853949803204614 jmOne day it hit her when she heard her Chinese chef using his call to let her know an order was done: "Hao-ra" (好了), meaning "it's ready."

Yet it is this very colour that we should be suspicious of, as the French journalist Guillaume Coudray explains in a book published in France last year called Cochonneries, a word that means both “piggeries” and “rubbish” or “junk food”. The subtitle is “How Charcuterie Became a Poison”. Cochonneries reads like a crime novel, in which the processed meat industry is the perpetrator and ordinary consumers are the victims. The pinkness of bacon – or cooked ham, or salami – is a sign that it has been treated with chemicals, more specifically with nitrates and nitrites. It is the use of these chemicals that is widely believed to be the reason why “processed meat” is much more carcinogenic than unprocessed meat. Coudray argues that we should speak not of “processed meat” but “nitro-meat”. [...] When nitrates interact with certain components in red meat (haem iron, amines and amides), they form N-nitroso compounds, which cause cancer. The best known of these compounds is nitrosamine. This, as Guillaume Coudray explained to me in an email, is known to be “carcinogenic even at a very low dose”. Any time someone eats bacon, ham or other processed meat, their gut receives a dose of nitrosamines, which damage the cells in the lining of the bowel, and can lead to cancer. You would not know it from the way bacon is sold, but scientists have known nitrosamines are carcinogenic for a very long time. More than 60 years ago, in 1956, two British researchers called Peter Magee and John Barnes found that when rats were fed dimethyl nitrosamine, they developed malignant liver tumours. By the 1970s, animal studies showed that small, repeated doses of nitrosamines and nitrosamides – exactly the kind of regular dose a person might have when eating a daily breakfast of bacon – were found to cause tumours in many organs including the liver, stomach, oesophagus, intestines, bladder, brain, lungs and kidneys. But there IS some good news for Parma ham and sausages:
In 1993, Parma ham producers in Italy made a collective decision to remove nitrates from their products and revert to using only salt, as in the old days. For the past 25 years, no nitrates or nitrites have been used in any Prosciutto di Parma. Even without nitrate or nitrite, the Parma ham stays a deep rosy-pink colour. We now know that the colour in Parma ham is totally harmless, a result of the enzyme reactions during the ham’s 18-month ageing process. [...] the average British sausage – as opposed to a hard sausage like a French saucisson – is not cured, being made of nothing but fresh meat, breadcrumbs, herbs, salt and E223, a preservative that is non-carcinogenic. After much questioning, two expert spokespeople for the US National Cancer Institute confirmed to me that “one might consider” fresh sausages to be “red meat” and not processed meat, and thus only a “probable” carcinogen.

Part of this hidden history includes the revelation that six slaves were critical to the operation of George Washington’s distillery, and that the eponymous Jack Daniel learned to make whiskey from an enslaved black man named Nathan “Nearest” Green. As Clay Risen reported for the New York Times last year, contrary to the predominant narrative that views whiskey as an ever “lily-white affair,” black men were the minds and hands behind American whiskey production. “In the same way that white cookbook authors often appropriated recipes from their black cooks, white distillery owners took credit for the whiskey,” he writes. Described as “the best whiskey maker that I know of” by his master, Dan Call, Green taught young Jack Daniel how to run a whiskey still. When Daniel later opened his own distillery, he hired two of Green’s sons. The popular image of moonshine is a product of the white cultural monopoly on all things ‘country’ Over time, that legacy was forgotten, creating a gap in knowledge about American distilling traditions — while English, German, Scottish, and Irish influences exist, that combination alone cannot explain the entirely of American distilling. As bourbon historian Michael Veach suggests, slave culture pieces together an otherwise puzzling intellectual history. ]]> history craft-beer craft-culture food drink whiskey distilling black-history jack-daniels nathan-nearest-green https://pinboard.in/ https://pinboard.in/u:jm/b:5c36f3a0b7c0/ The 38 Essential Dublin Restaurants 2017-07-25T09:31:13+00:00 https://www.eater.com/maps/best-dublin-restaurants-38 jm dublin restaurants eating food lists tourism https://pinboard.in/ https://pinboard.in/u:jm/b:cd80c76c59f9/ John Gallagher on Twitter: "Lot of misinformation about this today.

When I asked dozens of people, while on a recent visit to India, about their favourite comfort food, most of them – whether from Delhi, Bangalore or Mumbai – told me that what they really loved to eat, especially when drinking beer, was something called Indian-Chinese food. It is nothing a Chinese person would recognise, consisting of gloopy dishes of meat and noodles, thick with cornflour and soy sauce, but spiced with green chillis and vinegar to please the national palate. Indian-Chinese food – just like British curry house food – offers a salty night away from the usual home cooking. The difference is that Indian people accept Indian-Chinese food for the ersatz joy that it is, whereas many British curry house customers seem to have believed that recipe for their Bombay potatoes really did come from Bombay, and felt affronted to discover that it did not. ]]> curry indian-food food chinese-food indian-chinese-food authenticity https://pinboard.in/ https://pinboard.in/u:jm/b:6ca4d338cd7f/ What the Irish Ate Before Potatoes - Bon Appétit 2016-06-15T09:05:52+00:00 http://www.bonappetit.com/trends/article/what-the-irish-ate-before-potatoes jmAnd the Irish didn’t like their butter just one way: from the 12th century on, there are records of butter flavored with onion and garlic, and local traditions of burying butter in bogs.

A team of German researchers had found that people on a low-carb diet lost weight 10 percent faster if they ate a chocolate bar every day. It made the front page of Bild, Europe’s largest daily newspaper, just beneath their update about the Germanwings crash. From there, it ricocheted around the internet and beyond, making news in more than 20 countries and half a dozen languages. It was discussed on television news shows. It appeared in glossy print, most recently in the June issue of Shape magazine (“Why You Must Eat Chocolate Daily”, page 128). Not only does chocolate accelerate weight loss, the study found, but it leads to healthier cholesterol levels and overall increased well-being. The Bild story quotes the study’s lead author, Johannes Bohannon, Ph.D., research director of the Institute of Diet and Health: “The best part is you can buy chocolate everywhere.” I am Johannes Bohannon, Ph.D. Well, actually my name is John, and I’m a journalist. I do have a Ph.D., but it’s in the molecular biology of bacteria, not humans. The Institute of Diet and Health? That’s nothing more than a website. Other than those fibs, the study was 100 percent authentic. My colleagues and I recruited actual human subjects in Germany. We ran an actual clinical trial, with subjects randomly assigned to different diet regimes. And the statistically significant benefits of chocolate that we reported are based on the actual data. It was, in fact, a fairly typical study for the field of diet research. Which is to say: It was terrible science. The results are meaningless, and the health claims that the media blasted out to millions of people around the world are utterly unfounded. Interesting bit: the online commenters commenting on the published stories quickly saw through the bullshit.

However, the social stigma associated with the human consumption of pet food makes an unbiased comparison challenging. To prevent bias, Newman's Own dog food was prepared with a food processor to have the texture and appearance of a liver mousse. In a double-blind test, subjects were presented with five unlabeled blended meat products, one of which was the prepared dog food. After ranking the samples on the basis of taste, subjects were challenged to identify which of the five was dog food. Although 72% of subjects ranked the dog food as the worst of the five samples in terms of taste (Newell and MacFarlane multiple comparison, P<0.05), subjects were not better than random at correctly identifying the dog food. ]]> pate food omgwtf science research dog-food meat economics taste flavour https://pinboard.in/ https://pinboard.in/u:jm/b:498431253dd5/ 17 Things Everyone Must Eat In Dublin 2015-03-05T21:18:42+00:00 http://www.buzzfeed.com/vickinotaro/most-delicious-dishes-in-dublin#.jg5nR5Lk6 jm dublin lunch food sms eating restaurants buzzfeed https://pinboard.in/ https://pinboard.in/u:jm/b:b44fc6fa117d/ Comment bien couper le fromage 2014-12-30T10:32:41+00:00 http://www.papillesetpupilles.fr/2014/12/comment-bien-couper-le-fromage.html/ jm cheese fromage france cutting food https://pinboard.in/ https://pinboard.in/u:jm/b:fa9182ddab31/ Dublin's Best-Kept Secret: Blas Cafe 2014-10-14T09:05:42+00:00 http://frenchfoodieindublin.blogspot.ie/2014/10/dublins-best-kept-secret-blas-cafe.html jm dublin cafes food blas-cafe eating northside https://pinboard.in/ https://pinboard.in/u:jm/b:a0b5a22df2d5/ Tonx’s Fuss Proof Cold Brew Coffee Guide 2014-10-11T21:37:45+00:00 https://medium.com/@tonx/tonxs-fuss-proof-cold-brew-coffee-guide-81f3d05dab24 jm cold-brew coffee food drinks recipes tonx https://pinboard.in/ https://pinboard.in/u:jm/b:0e96cace3d64/ A gut microbe that stops food allergies 2014-09-11T14:27:47+00:00 http://news.sciencemag.org/biology/2014/08/gut-microbe-stops-food-allergies jm allergies health food peanuts science research clostridium bacteria gut intestines immune-system mice papers pnas https://pinboard.in/ https://pinboard.in/u:jm/b:41ae7586457d/ Okayu 2014-09-11T14:08:21+00:00 http://www.yelp.ie/biz/okayu-dublin jm takeaways delivery food restaurants japanese north-strand dublin https://pinboard.in/ https://pinboard.in/u:jm/b:a30b06542884/ A tick bite can make you allergic to red meat 2014-08-09T11:20:34+00:00 http://www.apnewsarchive.com/2014/Bad-bite:-Doctors-see-surge-of-sudden-meat-allergies-caused-by-ticks-that-are-spreading-in-US/id-527232acf2dc492eab97a65f4b3c887c jmThe bugs harbor a sugar that humans don't have, called alpha-gal. The sugar is also is found in red meat — beef, pork, venison, rabbit — and even some dairy products. It's usually fine when people encounter it through food that gets digested. But a tick bite triggers an immune system response, and in that high-alert state, the body perceives the sugar the tick transmitted to the victim's bloodstream and skin as a foreign substance, and makes antibodies to it. That sets the stage for an allergic reaction the next time the person eats red meat and encounters the sugar.

This single orchard grew a great number of heirloom, antique, and native varieties of stone fruit, and some of these were 150 to 200 years old. To lose this orchard would render many of these rare and old varieties of fruit extinct, so to preserve them, Van Aken bought the orchard, and spent the following years figuring out how to graft parts of the trees onto a single fruit tree. [...] Aken’s Tree of 40 Fruit looks like a normal tree for most of the year, but in spring it reveals a stunning patchwork of pink, white, red and purple blossoms, which turn into an array of plums, peaches, apricots, nectarines, cherries and almonds during the summer months, all of which are rare and unique varieties.  ]]> fruit art amazing food agriculture grafting orchards sam-van-aken farming https://pinboard.in/ https://pinboard.in/u:jm/b:11d4846f0468/ Paleo is the Scientology of Diet 2014-06-18T15:06:53+00:00 http://www.sixpackabs.com/paleo-is-the-scientology-of-diets/ jmBeing paleo is like paying a stupidity tax.
