Food-nomena delivered from around the world!
I love food science, but I also devour food stories that give me a taste of the world’s cultures and connections. Here are five of my favorites this week!
1. In the City of Brotherly Love, a little pizza joint fires up a movement, letting customers pay it forward to help people in need.
2. The very logic behind ingredient combinations in Indian cuisine is the opposite of the Western way of thinking. And spices play a big part in this phenomenon.
3. Watch a San Francisco chef perform ikejime, or fish butchery the way it’s done at Tokyo’s famous Tsukiji market. (Not for those with weak stomachs.)
4. You might think the Japanese have the weird-but-tasty packaged snacks market cornered, but the Koreans hold their own.
5. Quick, run to London’s first “slow food” market, where you’ll find the world’s oldest alcoholic drink and other local, sustainable treats.
And with these five delicious food-nomena, it’s a global wrap! Till next time!
