Food identity in Italy's Emilia-Romagna

Yes, you’re right. It has the most quintessential foods in Italy.

It is a truth acknowledged by all but the most stubborn Brits that there is is very little that a cup of tea can’t fix, or at the very least make slightly better. And since most of us are in need of soothing at the moment, might I recommend this ancient remedy?

Cravings I Deal With
Not gonna lie, I like food but I don't like food enough to call myself a foodie. However, I do have certain times where I can go for a certain kind of food so I tend to get cravings which is kind of funny to me because I'm a guy and women usually get cravings more when they're pregnant. I'm not saying that guys shouldn't have cravings but it's probably easier to accept when a woman is craving something.

Sweet Potatoes and Fun Facts
Sweet potatoes are some of the oldest vegetables in the world. They have been growing in the United States since World War II. About 2.5 billion pounds are produced every year in America, and about 260 billion pounds are produced globally. Sweet potatoes grow best in the warm part of the country because the crop does not do well in cold weather.

Get Creative with Belgian Endive
The question 'What's for dinner?' is often met with 'I have no idea', 'Any suggestions?' or a huff and a puff accompanied by a headshake. The cook is fresh out of ideas. The situation gets even more complicated when a dinner party is pending. The hostess (or in many cases the host) wants to put something unique on the table but cookbooks and online recipes leave her scratching her head.

Food
Food is a part of all species daily lives. Most survival literally depends on the quantities of food. The most basic reason why I love food is because of the taste. Taste related to different dishes or styles of cooking, such as baking potatoes or boiling potatoes. Digging deeper, notice how fruits and vegetables are prepared by nature. The basic watering, soil and sunlight. Fruits and vegetables are by far my most favorite foods. No stove or oven is needed to prepare fruits; unless one is baking a peach or apple pie. Fruits and vegetables are very healthy for the body. Personally, I enjoy receiving all of my nutrients from fresh food. Far, as protein goes? One interesting fact about me is that I peel the skin off my chicken before I cook it. Tofu is another substitute over meat for those who enjoy a plant-based diet. The goal is serving everything in moderation. While, constantly monitoring unnecessary sugar intake and keeping it to a minimum.

By: Marlene Affeld Found growing on logs and decaying tree stumps (primarily plum and oak trees) across the coastal regions of China, Korea, Japan, and North America, Red Reishi (Ganoderm lucidum), known as Ling Zhi in Chinese, is a common forest fungus oft described as “woody,” tough,” and “bitter.

Pineapple on Pizza. Top Story - March 2020.
We all have different tastes in everything. Most of us accept that some people will like things we don't or dislike things we enjoy. It's a normal part of life. There are, however, certain bones of contention in the foodie world. You might say that certain foods or combinations are 'Marmite'. That is to say you either you love them or hate them. Of course, there are probably a few strange people who 'don't mind' Marmite, could 'take it or leave it' but I can honestly say I've never met anyone that crazy.

Cake is disgusting
Do I really need to explain myself here? Cake is ungodly, unearthly and unhealthy. It makes you feel gross and bloated. And the taste? Is that really worth all the guilt afterwards? NO. The answer is no. Cake is horrible and I had to eat it EVERY. SINGLE. BIRTHDAY until I was 13. And every time everyone would sing the song I would start to gag. I even do now, because all I can think about is the future that my body will have to endure, with that revolting mass of sickly sweet flour. So let’s please stop serving it at every event because let's face it, everyones only eating it because they've been brainwashed to think it's good. The poor souls have just never appreciated how fun it is to NOT eat it. Every single second of every day my taste buds are smiling knowing that cake is NOT being forced upon them at that moment. And that, I believe, is the meaning of our existence. To not have to eat something that’s a social norm. “It’s good, just eat it!” No. I will not “just eat it” because I’m sacrificing not only the next hour of having to feel it in my mouth, but also my poor body having to absorb it for energy. I’m so sorry body, but you’re not going to get much from it. So no, I’m not going to “just eat it.” Guess what hun? You DON’T OWN ME. I’m not going to eat your disgusting homemade lemon cake. Even though I know you made it from your divorce tears. Yeah! I said it. GROW UP. Make something not boring, eh? Like earthworm soup (don’t actually make that). You could make something that doesn’t look gross maybe. Just a thought. But please people, stop bringing cake everywhere. You might as well just have dropped a raw gizzard on my plate and expect me to thank you for it. I’M NOT GOING TO DO THAT. YOU CAN’T MAKE ME. It was NOT GOOD, NOT ENJOYABLE, AND OVERALL A DULL EXPERIENCE. Why is it just the norm to have it at every special event? Wow society, thanks for ruining my wedding because everyone expects me to have cake there! NO. I’m not going to feed my guests GARBAGE. If I wanted to do that, I’d just reincarnate as a raccoon. And every. Single. Restaurant on this PLANET has some sort of cake concoction on the front of some menu they FORCE your eyes to see. I did NOT consent to gaze upon that HORRIFIC creation! GET IT OUT OF MY FACE. No, I don’t have room for dessert this evening. In fact, I don’t have room for ANYTHING NOW, because I’ve lost my appetite. Thank you, good night. And my poor grandma. I don’t know what horrific cult made her do it, but she’s OBSESSED with cake recipes. And what am I supposed to say? “No you old hag I’d rather eat my own liver.” Because that’s the honest answer! But I can’t even tell her that because she’s my own grandma! So, yeah. Cake is tearing apart my relationships. I’ve had ENOUGH. ENOUGH I SAY. Tell me, if you’ve been stranded on an island for two weeks and someone offers you two plates, one with cake and one with chicken, which one will you choose? If you say cake I’m sorry but there’s no hope for you. You need to start your path of forgiveness to your poor body. Enough with the cake. The suffering. The groaning of stomachs because they hate us. Stop cake consumption today.
