❓ Trivia

why is it "sand"wich??? Was there sand in the origins of this food?

Answer:

Fortunately, not. No gritty sand particles whatsoever.

Sandwich was popularized in the district called "Sandwich" in Kent, England, by John Montagu, 4th Earl of Sandwich.

It was said that he did not want to leave the gaming table, so ordered food in the form of meat between 2 slices of bread.

I would imagine many other players followed suit! Thus, the rise to fame of this handy food.

Creamy Miso 🥣

I hated miso soup. And then I loved it ever since. This comfort soup may have a slight tangy taste depending on what type of miso is used. My hubby does not like a hint of sour/tangy stuff. To discover that milk could be added to spin off the taste was a welcome revelation!!! The aroma and taste always takes me back to my days in Japan. My very 1st sip of miso soup was at the canteen of an all-ladies dorm during my very 1st work trip in beautiful Tamagawa prefecture. It was my 1st time away from my motherland, and 1st time to experience winter, at that. To say that I was in a state of culture shock is an understatement. I loved soft fluffy Japanese rice. The roasted flaky saba fish. Ramen noodles. Crunchy karaage. Not miso soup though. I hated miso soup. But that fateful cold night, I have just reached "home" from the 10-minutes trudge from work. A quick change to warmer clothes, I was immediately at the dinner table. The warm soup felt grudgingly comforting. The next spoonf...

Hummus try this!

Hummus is long overdue; this was my hubby's request for the longest time already. The classic take is always using chickpeas. M y easy excuse was that chickpeas here in our region is not as cheap; no main ingredient, no hummus! 😝 But ever so thankful for foodies around the world who share their recipes online... was I happy t o find that there are versions using eggplants, squash, and cauliflower!!! Definitely cheaper alternative to the peas. F or sure there are quite a few more options out there. But Google already had me at eggplants . Our eggplant hu mmus turned out delicious. Hummus really try this! Sorry, but pun intended 😁. This hummus is apparently called Baba Ganoush, originating from the Arab region. (F ile exotic name in a shelf along long-term memory aisle. Check! Ohhh lots of yummy dishes in those places. But that's for another day in the kitchen. For now...) Let me it note down for future Arabian-esque dinner nights at home. Baba G...
