Foodie Friday Refer Your Favorite Moment Noodle

Asian food food facts food history foodie friday noodles ramen instant noodles

september 6:30 AM Add

The globe volition e'er love, honor, in addition to remember Momofuku Ando (1910 - 2007). He's the human who invented the Ramen instant noodle.

Fascinating nutrient history:

Instant noodles were start marketed inward 1958.

Cup of noodles didn't come upward along until 1971.

My not hence fascinating life history facts:

♦ I was born inward 1955. Can't retrieve when I started eating the instant noodles, only it must convey been later the twelvemonth 2000 in addition to it must convey been because i of my daughters who honey all things Asian was eating them. I know I didn't swallow them during my childhood, during my years at the University of Miami (the 70s), during the start 25 years of my matrimony (2001 is when my concluding kid was born). I did the grocery shopping most of the fourth dimension in addition to my hubby shopped every straightaway in addition to then. So it had to hold upward i of my kids that introduced this nutrient into our home. Can't recall. Just know that instant noodles got added to our grocery listing i 24-hour interval in addition to we've been eating them ever since.

Said all that to nation this.

♦ When it comes to the alternative of Ramen noodles at the local grocery stores, at that spot isn't actually a vast make of products to pick out from. Pretty much it's the pop refer build of the instant ones inward the loving cup or the ones inward the footling package. That detail nutrient is hence inexpensive you lot don't ask to purchase the “generic brand” to salve money. That was the inventor's purposeful skillful intention. He wanted a nutrient that was super inexpensive that could feed the masses. (Gleaned that nutrient fact from a documentary I watched on TV, several years back.)

Who would convey idea that individual could issue a weblog amongst zilch only reviews of Ramen noodles?

The weblog is called … what else? The Ramen Rater.

When I start saw it, I thought:

Oh come upward on!! How many packaged instant noodles tin at that spot mayhap hold upward for you lot to charge per unit of measurement them?

Uuuhhh … try 2000+.

Seriously. His Tumblr blogs posts become dorsum to 2012 only the guy's reviews become dorsum to appointment dorsum to 2002!! TheRamenRater.com

Foodie Friday : Raw Milk Cheese (Americans Are Missing Out!)

Cheese cheese industry cheese lovers federal regulations on imported cheese food history foodie friday pasteurized milk raw milk cheese raw milk cheese regulation

september 6:30 AM Add

I don't accept a recipe to portion for Foodie Friday. Just a link to an interesting article virtually a nutrient history theme that sheds lite on the raw milk cheese that plainly Americans are plainly missing out on enjoying.

EVERYTHING YOU KNOW ABOUT CHEESE IS H5N1 LIE

Americans accept never had access to the cheese they deserve.

Basically the article says that most Americans don't know what existent cheese taste like because they've never had any. There is some truth to the article. That's IF y'all define cheese that is alone made from pasteurized milk every bit “bogus cheese”. ☺

According to the article, “real cheese” or rather “really practiced tasting cheese” is made from unpasterized milk as well as that Americans are regulating cheese imports based on a police draw enacted because a wellness scare eighty years ago. You won't take away heed whatever Europeans complaining because "Hey! More practiced cheese for them!" I wonder, since the Chinese accept started consuming to a greater extent than diary products, if they are too enjoying this practiced existent cheese.

Per Mark Hay, the article writer:

“In 1944, the federal government, ... concerned past times the publish of outbreaks, recommended that all cheese endure made from pasteurized milk or that raw milk cheeses endure aged sufficiently to allow nasty germs inward it cash inward one's chips off.”

“Regardless of the merits of the dominion at the time, no i bothered to review it until the belatedly 1980s.”

“Meanwhile, Europe has developed rules that adapt all vogue of raw milk cheese but however continue people relatively safe, broadly working amongst existing traditions to discovery steps at which hygiene tin endure monitored as well as ensured.”

“In 1985, America suffered i of its greatest modern foodborne disease outbreaks, which killed over two-dozen people, 10 of them infants. It was traced to a cheese found using raw milk. … But later the 1985 incident, calls emerged to ban all raw milk cheese.”

Other pregnant cheese incidents occurred later 1985. Check the article for additional details.

Pretty much the article concludes:

Americans! You don't know what you're missing!
YUM! YUM!

Using Mr. Hay's exact words:
“It’s only shocking to realize how much of America’s nutrient ecosystem, as well as ultimately of our palates every bit Americans, were locked into house decades agone past times adventure forces as well as best-guess science. But that’s how i winds upward inward a acre where it is, as well as probable volition for some fourth dimension be, easier to larn an assail rifle than a cycle of OG French Camembert.”

Ouch! That occupation virtually the assail rifle actually hurt. I am pump broken. I ever considered myself a cheese lover. Only to discovery out that all this fourth dimension I haven't been eating existent cheese. 😢😢

The article author has convinced me that maybe America does request to revisit as well as maybe revise the raw milk cheese importing regulations. After all, in that place are people inward other countries only about the basis enjoying these cheeses made from unpasteurized milk as well as they aren't dropping similar flies.

I'm definitely curious instantly every bit to what I've been missing all my life. Are you?
