Faggots originated as a traditional cheap food consumed by ordinary country people in Western England, particularly west Wiltshire and the West Midlands.

Their popularity spread from there, especially to South Wales in the mid-nineteenth century, when many agricultural workers left the land to work in the rapidly expanding industry and mines of that area.

Faggots are also known as "ducks" in Yorkshire, Lincolnshire, and Lancashire, often as "savoury ducks".
The first use of the term in print was in the Manchester Courier and Lancashire General Advertiser of Saturday 3 June 1843, a news report of a gluttonous man who ate twenty of them.

A popular dish is faggots and peas. (Mushy peas)
It is still common to see small butchers' shops in the area selling faggots cheaply, made to their own recipe.

Penleigh Farm Butchers great produce and quality.

So luv Rhubarb get pickling.

Originally shared by Stephanie Stiavetti

Pickled rhubarb is sweet, spicy, and simply put: bracing.

It's a pickle-lover's pickle. A bit can likely cause the weak-willed to suck air in through their teeth after a bite and grip the table. But the flavor, the sweetness, the sour air, the tart slap, and with a spice with enough bite that it leaves marks like a bad (or good) kisser. If you have leftover vinegar after using the pickled rhubarb, reserve it for vinaigrette, cocktails, or whatever else you think needs a tart, astringent sock in the eye.

Ingredients:
3 stalks rhubarb
2 star anise
½ teaspoon red pepper flakes
Half cinnamon stick
1 bay leaf
5 whole cloves
5 whole peppercorns
1½ cup white vinegar
¾ cup sugar
¼ teaspoon salt
Equipment:
1 32-ounce canning jar, with lid

Thai salad ready to go with the main dish.


Thai salad ready to go with the main dish.
Thai food ain't about simplicity. It's about the juggling of disparate elements to create a harmonious finish. Like a complex musical chord it's got to have a smooth surface but it doesn't matter what's happening underneath. Simplicity isn't the dictum here, at all. Some westerners think it's a jumble of flavours, but to a Thai that's important, it's the complexity they delight in.

...ostensibly built around records that have been sampled by hip-hoppers, but can really be enjoyed by anyone looking for some quality obscure soul funk.

Hygieia stood with the Aesculapian snake around her arm and the cup of Lethe in her hand, turning her back to mankind.
Klimt conveyed an ambiguous unity of life and death, with nothing to celebrate the role of medicine or the science of healing.

Upon display of the painting in 1901, he was attacked by critics who could have noted that Vienna was leading the world in medical research.
An editorial in the Medizinische Wochenschrift complained that the painter had ignored doctors' two main achievements, Preventive medicine|prevention and cure.

Hygieia Gustav Klimt 1901
Her name is the source of the word   Hygiene 
The only colour photo part of the    big picturehttps://plus.google.com/+JonChef/posts/CN4HddkbGXi

Hygieia and her five sisters each performed a facet of Apollo's art: Hygieia ("Hygiene" the goddess/personification of health, cleanliness, and sanitation), Panacea (the goddess of Universal remedy), Iaso (the goddess of recuperation from illness), Aceso (the goddess of the healing process), and Aglæa/Ægle (the goddess of beauty, splendor, glory, magnificence, and adornment).

The paintings were attacked by critics when they were presented, as each painting broke different cultural taboos,

Outcome and destruction
The paintings were requested for the Louisiana Purchase Exposition in 1904 in St. Louis, Missouri|, but the ministry declined, nervous of what the reaction might be.

Klimt then resigned his Contract|commission, wishing to keep his work, but the ministry insisted they were already property of the state.
 
Only when Klimt threatened the removal staff with a shotgun was he able to keep his painting.
Klimt repaid his advance of 30,000 crowns with the support of August Lederer, one of his major patrons, who in return received Philosophy. In 1911
Medicine and Jurisprudence were bought by Klimt's friend and fellow artist, Koloman Moser.

Medicine eventually came into the possession of a Jewish family, and in 1938 the painting was seized by Germany.
In 1943, after a final exhibition, they were moved to Schloss Immendorf, a castle in Lower Austria, for protection.

In May 1945 the paintings were destroyed as retreating German SS forces set fire to the castle to prevent it falling into enemy hands.

All that remains now are preparatory sketches and a few photographs, most notably that of one focusing solely on Hygieia. Only one photograph remains of the complete painting of Medicine, taken just before it was destroyed.

Coffee time anyone?


Coffee time anyone?

Originally shared by Jon “the chef” Hole

Coffee Jelly is a popular jelly dessert in Japan. It is a mix of an agar jelly with sweetened coffee, and was developed in the Taishō period (1912–1926).

It is often cut into cubes and served in a variety of dessert dishes and beverages.
Cubes of coffee jelly are sometimes added to milkshakes, at the bottom of an ice cream float, or to garnish an ice cream sundae.
Coffee jelly is often added to a cup of hot or iced coffee, with cream and gum syrup added. Condensed milk is poured over cubes of chilled coffee jelly in a bowl.

Coffee jelly can be made using instant mix or from scratch. It is served in restaurants and cafés, and is sometimes a part of students' lunches served at public schools in Japan.

Really Cool In Vivien’s words, it ‘creates a dynamic in which the kitchen itself is like a seed that you sow.

Really Cool In Vivien’s words, it ‘creates a dynamic in which the kitchen itself is like a seed that you sow.
Khobeizeh
The Palestinian wild green, khobeizeh, is known in English as common mallow (in Latin, Malva sylvestris), and is widely available to forage for in Britain.
Take a little care in choosing a place you feel confident in picking from, as it likes to grow on roadsides and field edges where runoff and spray residue might be present.
This is a very simple Palestinian recipe:

INGREDIENTS:

Khobeizeh leaves – stems removed
Olive oil
Onions
Garlic
Salt
Lemon juice
Pinch of chilli pepper

(I don’t think you need your hand to be held on amounts – include from each what you think you’ll enjoy.)

METHOD:

Rinse the leaves and chop fairly roughly. Fry the onion for a few minutes before adding the khobeizeh leaves, garlic and salt. Simmer on a low heat until cooked, 10-15 minutes perhaps. Serve, adding a squeeze of lemon and some chilli pepper.

People gather around it – elders, youth, farmers, everybody comes together.
You might be sitting there talking about the jadu’i watermelon, but then one elder will mention a kind of leek they used to grow.
With each seed there’s a story, a tradition, a way of life, and that’s the heart of what the seed library is about.

We’re not a seed bank – our objective is not just to collect the genetic code and keep it in a freezer for a doomsday scenario. The idea is actually to keep a culture alive through these little seeds.’

Thank you Carol Ann ;)
