Vanilla
For several years now. On the table of a seriously named cook. We asked for some meat to stop the meal. I've always been very fond of salt, and if there wasn't a lot of salt in the meat, it's always felt sweet to me. The cook explained to me: “We add vanilla to all flesh.” "I was horrified to think that ...
I only use vanilla on certain occasions and, generally, in relation to acid. In vinegar, for example. By adding a “Bourbon” vanilla pod to a vinegar garrafoikada made with the mother of cider barrels, you’ll get a magnificent specimen. Ideal for anything other than fish: salad, meat, compote... My opinion. Each with his disgust.
Vanilla will be one of the most widely used destructors in the world. Natural vanilla is the fruit of the orchid Vanilla planifolia. In Mexico, they found it mixed with chocolate, apparently, by European colonizers. Since then, its spread has not fallen.
On the island of Réunion, in 1841, slave Edmon Albius invented handwritten pollination of vanilla. This gave him a tremendous boost, and his main production went from America to Indian Ocean lands. First on the island and then in Madagascar and Indonesia.
The fruit of the vanilla is harvested in green and then has to go a long way until I reach my vinegar: first drain, dry and then cure. Months of work... Eight or ten. Vanillin is the ingredient that produces this special scent, but at least 171 abrasive elements have been detected in natural vanilla. Here's the art of a sheath. Terrible.
Different ways to create artificial vanillin have been worked on. Today, around the world, some 50 tonnes of natural vanilla are produced per year, more than 15,000 tonnes of artificial vanilla. This comes out of the cellulose. It is a product of pulp production of paper or sugar. Coca-cola is the world's largest consumer. In the United States, oil similar to that secreted by adult male beavers under the tail, next to the penis and anus, is allowed as a food and beverage additive. Looks like it tastes like vanilla or raspberry...
The day exceeds the night with the spring equinox. This year it happened on 20 March, at 22:59 hours, opening the door of the spring. The Eki prefix means the same thing. Until then the night had been longer. The day and night were twelve hours. Since then, the day is extended... [+]
Time has been on our line for a long time, but the climate is relatively recent. There is no need to clarify too much what climate change is. Explaining what the landscape is is a redder necessity. Conferences, round tables or international conferences on climate change are... [+]
It's time to pick up the fruits and get them on the way to the lagar. Pear (Pyrus communis), apple (Malus x domestica), grape (Vitis vinifera)... It seems a short and quick road, but you have to work a lot of rodeos and their variants until the fruit becomes must and must become... [+]
In the Basque Country, agriculture is the history of permanent colonization. Like everywhere. Before, the land was not cultivated; before, the harvest was not sown; you enjoyed what was not eaten before. They had brought it all from elsewhere. Many of these stories have been... [+]
Returning to the wines that are made with the crops, the left madreselva (Humulus lupulus) is conservative and bitter tasting aggregator. The union of crops and madreselvas produces many dirty jets, especially in beer countries. A friend has just explained to me the stories of... [+]
In our house we met him with the name of madreselva (Humulus lupulus). In fact, we have worked hard and sinister on the banks of the river in our country, coinciding with the expansion of beer. We've learned that it's also called lobster, beer, beer, wart and grass on the left... [+]
Spring has brought the issue to my nose. C. worked at various research centers in New York. Bushdid, M. Oh! Magnasco, L.B. Vosshall and A. An article published by scientists Keller in March 2014 in the prestigious “Science Magazine” produced a great stir. The title says it... [+]
The curious interannual days end, those who eat and drink from the emanations of the earth. I'll eat from the best to the best. Supposedly. Heavy champagne and cava bottles are easy to dance. Even though they are of all kinds today, they were once the cider of the other barrel... [+]
