Breakfast is Not the Most Important Meal !!! or at least not here in France. The main meal here in Paris for many of the locals who live here is usually lunch and dinner. Breakfast is normally something small

Added!

In Christianity you are not supposed to eat any meat on Friday. Any? Fish is quite obvious exception that remained till today, however historically it was expanded by Church for creatures that live generally in water. This meant that on Friday you could also eat animals such as beaver and otter, which caused dishes containing those becoming quite popular in medieval Poland. With expansions to other continents more animals were accepted such as turtles or aligators.

Tomato juice in flying airplane tastes a bit different :D

Though Italy often gets all the credit, lasagna actually originated in Greece

Although potatoes are widely associated with the British Isles, they're actually native to the Americas. And while French fries are called French, they may or may not be in fact French; there is a good chance they may be a Belgian invention -- the two countries dispute their origin -- or even a Spanish one. They are definitely not an US thing, though, despite how strongly the country is associated to the burger-and-fries combo.

If you ingest nutmeg in large doses, it works like a hallucinogen due to a natural compound called myristicin.

During Oktoberfest in Munich, Germany visitors drink 6-7 mio liters of beer every year.

The hamburger place near [redacted] mixes sugar into the patty, and this makes the edges crispy, wafer thin, and so, so good!!!
The burgers are 1cm thick and 8-10 inches in diameter.

Wheat flour contains about 70-80% starch and about 6-16% protein.

For almost a century it was assumed that fat caused obesity and heart disease. Many studies attempted to prove this correlation and failed.

Currently the main culprits for these issues are sugars, carbs and additives/preservatives.
A few years ago 'Fats' were proven to be harmful, but only if they were absorbed in large amounts, but the study discovered the body does not absorb the fats found to be concerning.

This is why fat based diets such as keto have gained popularity, as the body transitioned to burn fats, instead of sugars and carbs, is leaner and healthier. Although long term studies on keto diets and differing body/blood types are ongoing.

Food is very tasty, especially when it goes into my stomach :)

in the files of team fortress 2 there is an unused image of a coconut, without which, according to legend, the game does not start

Here is kind of an anti-food fact. I was always told when cooking, that adding salt to a pot of water makes it boil faster. I was at a trivia night this week and learned that's not true! I've wasted so much salt over the years!

This is a bit personal but the best pizza I've ever had was in Greece, not Italy. :o

Uhhhh, fun fact about food in my country. Paella's name origin is usually assumed to come from "para ella" (for her) but it actually comes from the word patella in latin which reffers to "pan".

Fun fact about samurai: Samurai were not all men, there were also female samurai known as Onna-Bugeisha and they fought alongside men too. Their sword was called naginata. It was different though, it looked more like a spear with a curved blade.

There is a fungus that shoots it's spores at speeds up to 25 m/s. The spores experience 180,000 g of acceleration.

The first thing I can remember is that nutmeg (such a spice) can cause hallucinations, because during its excessive use miramistin in the liver is transformed into MMDA. Consuming nutmeg in large doses has a toxic effect on the liver, and I do not recommend that you do so.

Everything will be Kvass! 😉👍

Commenting on the breakfast is the most important meal of the day post that was recently posted. People used to rarely eat in the morning, or at least not the large breakfasts we see all around today. The term "breakfast is the most important meal of the day" first showed up in Good Health Magazine in 1917. It was published by a sanitarium that was directed by none other than Dr. John Harvey Kellogg. The same Kellogg family that runs a breakfast empire today. We all know the cake is a lie but so is Big Breakfast :-D

Bananas are berries but strawberries aren’t (fruit). Banana trees are actually large bushes. There is no wood.

History of Austrian Cuisine

Over the hundreds of years of Austria's existence, a unique tradition of Austrian Cuisine has emerged. Its traditional and well-known recipes attract millions of tourists each year. Austria's rich Cuisine is a result of its history as a multi-national empire, where all kinds of different cultures contributed their very own nuances.

The Habsburg Empire stretched from the borders of Imperial Russia to the Adriatic and consisted of more than a dozen nationalities with over 51 million people speaking sixteen different languages. Within the last seven centuries, the cosmopolitan Habsburg rule extended over Switzerland, Alsace, Burgundy, Spain, Holland, Bohemia, Moravia, Slovakia, Poland, Hungary, Croatia, Slovenia and Italy. All of the above have influenced Austria's cuisine in their own way.

But not all of what can be enjoyed at Austria's restaurants and cafés nowadays has peacefully found its way into Austria's kitchens. Many a recipe and ingredient had been washed ashore by Austria's melting pot of pan-european cooking by accident or as a coincidence or war. The Turkish invasion of Europe for example heralded the birth of Austria's coffee culture by introducing the coffee bean to Viennese cooks. Furthermore, "Apfelstrudel" is an Austrian version of a Turkish delicacy introduced during the Turkish occupation. The Wiener Schnitzel probably originated in northern Italy, while the delicious Palatschinken (crêpes) and the Gulasch came from the Hungarian plains; the roasts and sausages were originally Southern German delicacies, the pastries originated in Bohemia.

Apart from the foreign influences on Austrian cuisine, every Austrian features their own local dishes: Frittatensuppe (crêpe soup) comes from Styria, Speckknödel (bacon dumplings) from Tyrol; and Salzburg, Mozart’s home, has contributed the so-called Salzburger Nockerln, a sweet soufflé made from eggs.

Fact: The type of sausage that is made from pork or occasionally beef blood, with pork fat or beef suet, is called Black Pudding. Sounds fancy right? It's also often considered to be one of the oldest forms of sausage.

Often on the internet and social media, you can come across outraged Italians discussing alleged pasta and pizza recipes from the most diverse corners of the planet. Indeed, Americans are the ones who, over the years, have shown the most creativity, to the extent that I've seen videos where pasta was cooked like risotto. Under those videos, there were no shortage of scornful comments from my fellow countrymen, sadly from people who don't fully understand Italian cuisine in all its forms. In fact, 'risotto-style pasta' is a real thing, and here is an example of a dish from traditional Italian cuisine, regrettably little-known!
