Palestinians gather to receive food cooked by a charity kitchen, amid shortages of aid supplies, after Israeli forces launched a ground and air operation in the eastern part of Rafah in the southern Gaza Strip May 8, 2024
When students from Linfield University in McMinnville, Oregon, cleared invasive Himalayan blackberry from a meadow on campus, a bank of camas seeds sprouted. "The university found itself with a thriving patch of Indigenous first foods," says @Toastie. For High Country News, they write about how this discovery birthed a festival, the Linfield Camas Festival. The one-day event is devoted to the wildflower, its place in Indigenous cuisine, culture and ecosystems, and educating others about food sovereignty and more.
I made homemade rose petal jelly yesterday and it is BEYOND delicious! So proud how well it turned out, everything from the color to the petals still inside looks so pretty...
New to our family, sandwich rolls: lavash, mayo, lettuce, prosciutto, havarti cheese. I am trying to find foods Drew can eat since he is not using his left hand very often. Regular sandwiches are a mess since he can’t tell the strength of his grip in his right hand. A firm hold means the sandwich filling falls out. Same for burgers now. Yay for Trader Joe’s lavash - only $2.49 for a large package. 2 pieces for 8 rolls. And it worked well. #Lavash#Food#Wraps#Sandwich

3/ Snip "Capitalism has forced the hyper-specialization of various regions into profitable mono-cultures which create single points of failure in the #food system. Just one example: 90% of the green leafy vegetables produced in the US from Nov — Mar are grown in the Yuma, AZ area. We import beef from South America & fruits from all over the globe. Staple grains have become just another globally traded commodity like steel or rubber. What this means is that practically nowhere in the developed world, & most especially not in the US, can people support themselves on locally produced foods. #Farmers markets are in no way capable of offsetting a major gap in imported foods. We are completely dependent on a highly complex global logistics chain in order to eat."
patatas bravas for lunch, yesterdays mango cheesecake.
the former was AMAZING (but i put too much chicken stock in the source because i liked the bubbling noise lol)
the latter was fine but the base was too dry for me
"It’s #Jewish#American Heritage Month, and what better way to celebrate our heritage than #children’s #books about #food? Because everyone, no matter what, can agree that Jewish food is the best.
These books feature diverse and surprising tales about Jewish food, from Ashkenazi classics to Asian and Mexican mash-ups."
Yesterday's lunch – pork tenderloin sandwich (state sandwich of Indiana) with housemade potato chips and ranch at Shallo's in Greenwood. Great food, largest beer selection in Indiana and there is even a beer museum! https://www.shallos.com

"“You can’t fully rely on translation apps,” said a 20yo Japanese woman who serves tourists at a dining bar. “It’s been more than a few times where I haven’t been able to serve customers [in English] and they wave their hands and shoe me away as if to say, ‘You’re useless.'”

If you’re in Singapore, like din tai fung, but don’t like how crowded / expensive their restaurants get: here’s a hawker stall that does functionally the same food for $4ish. Will also be crowded, but it won’t be $40
