Asparagus

Asparagus, or garden asparagus, folk name sparrow grass, scientific name asparagus officinalis, is a perennial flowering plant species in the genus asparagus. its young shoots are used as a spring vegetable. it was once classified in the lily family, like the related allium species, onions and garlic. however, genetic research places lilies, allium, and asparagus in three separate families—the liliaceae, amaryllidaceae, and asparagaceae, respectively— the amaryllidaceae and asparagaceae are grouped together in the order asparagales. sources differ as to the native range of asparagus officinalis, but generally include most of europe and western temperate asia. it is widely cultivated as a vegetable crop.

Beef

Beef is the culinary name for meat from cattle (bos taurus). in prehistoric times, humans hunted aurochs and later domesticated them. since that time, numerous breeds of cattle have been bred specifically for the quality or quantity of their meat. today, beef is the third most widely consumed meat in the world, after pork and poultry. as of 2018, the united states, brazil, and china were the largest producers of beef. beef can be prepared in various ways; cuts are often used for steak, which can be cooked to varying degrees of doneness, while trimmings are often ground or minced, as found in most hamburgers. beef contains protein, iron, and vitamin b12. along with other kinds of red meat, high consumption is associated with an increased risk of colorectal cancer and coronary heart disease, especially when processed. beef has a high environmental impact, being a primary driver of deforestation with the highest greenhouse gas emissions of any agricultural product.

Cheddar cheese

Cheddar cheese (or simply cheddar) is a natural cheese that is relatively hard, off-white (or orange if colourings such as annatto are added), and sometimes sharp-tasting. cheddar originates from the english village of cheddar in somerset.cheddar cheese is produced all over the world, and cheddar cheese has no protected designation of origin either in the united kingdom or the european union. in 2007, the protected designation of origin name "west country farmhouse cheddar" was registered in the eu and (after brexit) the uk, defined as cheddar produced from local milk within somerset, dorset, devon and cornwall and manufactured using traditional methods. protected geographical indication (pgi) was registered for orkney scottish island cheddar in 2013 in the eu, which also applies under uk law. globally, the style and quality of cheeses labelled as cheddar may vary greatly, with some processed cheeses being packaged as "cheddar". furthermore, certain cheeses that are similar in taste and appearance to red leicester are sometimes marketed as "red cheddar". cheddar is the most popular cheese in the uk, accounting for 51% of the country's £1.9 billion annual cheese market. it is the second-most popular cheese in the us behind mozzarella, with an average annual consumption of 10 lb (4.5 kg) per capita. the us produced approximately 3,000,000,000 lb (1,300,000 long tons; 1,400,000 tonnes) of cheddar cheese in 2014, and the uk produced 258,000 long tons (262,000 tonnes) in 2008.

Chicken

The chicken (gallus domesticus) is a domesticated junglefowl species, with attributes of wild species such as the grey and the ceylon junglefowl that are originally from southeastern asia. rooster or cock is a term for an adult male bird, and a younger male may be called a cockerel. a male that has been castrated is a capon. an adult female bird is called a hen and a sexually immature female is called a pullet. originally raised for cockfighting or for special ceremonies, chickens were not kept for food until the hellenistic period (4th–2nd centuries bc). humans now keep chickens primarily as a source of food (consuming both their meat and eggs) and as pets. chickens are one of the most common and widespread domestic animals, with a total population of 23.7 billion as of 2018, up from more than 19 billion in 2011. there are more chickens in the world than any other bird. there are numerous cultural references to chickens – in myth, folklore and religion, and in language and literature. genetic studies have pointed to multiple maternal origins in south asia, southeast asia, and east asia, but the clade found in the americas, europe, the middle east and africa originated from the indian subcontinent. from ancient india, the chicken spread to lydia in western asia minor, and to greece by the 5th century bc. fowl have been known in egypt since the mid-15th century bc, with the "bird that gives birth every day" having come from the land between syria and shinar, babylonia, according to the annals of thutmose iii.

Coffee is a brewed drink prepared from roasted coffee beans, the seeds of berries from certain flowering plants in the coffea genus. from the coffee fruit, the seeds are separated to produce a stable, raw product: unroasted green coffee. the seeds are then roasted, a process which transforms them into a consumable product: roasted coffee, which is ground into fine particles that are typically steeped in hot water before being filtered out, producing a cup of coffee. coffee is darkly colored, bitter, slightly acidic and has a stimulating effect in humans, primarily due to its caffeine content. it is one of the most popular drinks in the world and can be prepared and presented in a variety of ways (e.g., espresso, french press, caffè latte, or already-brewed canned coffee). it is usually served hot, although chilled or iced coffee is common. sugar, sugar substitutes, milk or cream are often used to lessen the bitter taste or enhance the flavor. it may be served with coffee cake or another sweet dessert, like doughnuts. a commercial establishment that sells prepared coffee beverages is known as a coffeehouse or coffee shop (not to be confused with dutch coffeeshops selling cannabis). clinical research indicates that moderate coffee consumption is benign or mildly beneficial as a stimulant in healthy adults, with continuing research on whether long-term consumption has positive or negative effects.though coffee is now a global commodity, it has a long history tied closely to food traditions around the red sea. the earliest credible evidence of the drinking of coffee in the form of the modern beverage appears in modern-day yemen from the mid-15th century in sufi shrines, where coffee seeds were first roasted and brewed in a manner similar to current methods. the yemenis procured the coffee beans from the ethiopian highlands via coastal somali intermediaries and began cultivation. by the 16th century, the drink had reached the rest of the middle east and north africa, later spreading to europe. in the 20th century, coffee became a much more global commodity, creating different coffee cultures around the world. the two most commonly grown coffee bean types are c. arabica and c. robusta. coffee plants are cultivated in over 70 countries, primarily in the equatorial regions of the americas, southeast asia, the indian subcontinent, and africa. as of 2018, brazil was the leading grower of coffee beans, producing 35% of the world total. coffee is a major export commodity as the leading legal agricultural export for numerous countries. it is one of the most valuable commodities exported by developing countries. green, unroasted coffee is the most traded agricultural commodity and one of the most traded commodities overall, second only to petroleum. despite the sales of coffee reaching billions of dollars, those actually producing the beans are disproportionately living in poverty. critics also point to the coffee industry's negative impact on the environment and the clearing of land for coffee-growing and water use. the environmental costs and wage disparity of farmers are causing the market for fair trade and organic coffee to expand.

Crocodile

Crocodiles (family crocodylidae) or true crocodiles are large semiaquatic reptiles that live throughout the tropics in africa, asia, the americas and australia. the term crocodile is sometimes used even more loosely to include all extant members of the order crocodilia, which includes the alligators and caimans (family alligatoridae), the gharial and false gharial (family gavialidae) among other extinct taxa. although they appear similar, crocodiles, alligators and the gharial belong to separate biological families. the gharial, with its narrow snout, is easier to distinguish, while morphological differences are more difficult to spot in crocodiles and alligators. the most obvious external differences are visible in the head, with crocodiles having narrower and longer heads, with a more v-shaped than a u-shaped snout compared to alligators and caimans. another obvious trait is that the upper and lower jaws of the crocodiles are the same width, and the teeth in the lower jaw fall along the edge or outside the upper jaw when the mouth is closed; therefore, all teeth are visible, unlike an alligator, which possesses in the upper jaw small depressions into which the lower teeth fit. also, when the crocodile's mouth is closed, the large fourth tooth in the lower jaw fits into a constriction in the upper jaw. for hard-to-distinguish specimens, the protruding tooth is the most reliable feature to define the species' family. crocodiles have more webbing on the toes of the hind feet and can better tolerate saltwater due to specialized salt glands for filtering out salt, which are present, but non-functioning, in alligators. another trait that separates crocodiles from other crocodilians is their much higher levels of aggression.crocodile size, morphology, behaviour and ecology differ somewhat among species. however, they have many similarities in these areas as well. all crocodiles are semiaquatic and tend to congregate in freshwater habitats such as rivers, lakes, wetlands and sometimes in brackish water and saltwater. they are carnivorous animals, feeding mostly on vertebrates such as fish, reptiles, birds and mammals, and sometimes on invertebrates such as molluscs and crustaceans, depending on species and age. all crocodiles are tropical species that, unlike alligators, are very sensitive to cold. they separated from other crocodilians during the eocene epoch, about 55 million years ago. many species are at the risk of extinction, some being classified as critically endangered.

Deer

Deer or true deer are hoofed ruminant mammals forming the family cervidae. the two main groups of deer are the cervinae, including the muntjac, the elk (wapiti), the red deer, and the fallow deer; and the capreolinae, including the reindeer (caribou), white-tailed deer, the roe deer, and the moose. male deer of all species (except the water deer) as well as female reindeer, grow and shed new antlers each year. in this they differ from permanently horned antelope, which are part of a different family (bovidae) within the same order of even-toed ungulates (artiodactyla). the musk deer (moschidae) of asia and chevrotains (tragulidae) of tropical african and asian forests are separate families that are also in the ruminant clade ruminantia; they are not especially closely related to cervidae. deer appear in art from paleolithic cave paintings onwards, and they have played a role in mythology, religion, and literature throughout history, as well as in heraldry, such as red deer that appear in the coat of arms of åland. their economic importance includes the use of their meat as venison, their skins as soft, strong buckskin, and their antlers as handles for knives. deer hunting has been a popular activity since the middle ages and remains a resource for many families today.

Droëwors

Droëwors (; afrikaans literally "dry sausage") is a southern african snack food, based on the traditional, coriander-seed spiced boerewors sausage. it is usually made as a dunwors (afrikaans for "thin sausage") rather than dikwors ("thick sausage"), as the thinner sausage dries quicker and is thus, less likely to spoil before it can be preserved. if dikwors is to be used, it is usually flattened to provide a larger surface area for drying. the recipe used for these dried sausages is similar to that for boerewors, though pork and veal are usually replaced by beef, as the former can go rancid when dried, mutton fat replaces the pork fat used in boerewors. drying makes the sausage ideal for unrefrigerated storage.droëwors is unusual among dried meats in being dried quickly in warm, dry conditions, unlike traditional droge worst and italian cured salumi, which are dried slowly in relatively cold and humid conditions. a further difference is that droëwors does not contain a curing agent as found in a traditional cured sausage. a direct result of this is that droëwors should not be kept in moist conditions as mold can begin to form more easily than would happen with a cured sausage. this product is related both in name and in nature to the dutch droge worst, also known as metworst.

Eggs

Eggs are laid by female animals of many different species, including birds, reptiles, amphibians, a few mammals, and fish, and many of these have been eaten by humans for thousands of years. bird and reptile eggs consist of a protective eggshell, albumen (egg white), and vitellus (egg yolk), contained within various thin membranes. the most commonly consumed eggs are chicken eggs. other poultry eggs including those of duck and quail also are eaten. fish eggs are called roe and caviar. egg yolks and whole eggs store significant amounts of protein and choline, and are widely used in cookery. due to their protein content, the united states department of agriculture formerly categorized eggs as meats within the food guide pyramid (now myplate). despite the nutritional value of eggs, there are some potential health issues arising from cholesterol content, salmonella contamination, and allergy to egg proteins. chickens and other egg-laying creatures are kept widely throughout the world and mass production of chicken eggs is a global industry. in 2009, an estimated 62.1 million metric tons of eggs were produced worldwide from a total laying flock of approximately 6.4 billion hens. there are issues of regional variation in demand and expectation, as well as current debates concerning methods of mass production. in 2012, the european union banned battery husbandry of chickens.

Fish

Many species of fish are caught by humans and consumed as food in virtually all regions around the world. fish has been an important dietary source of protein and other nutrients throughout human history. the english language does not have a special culinary name for food prepared from fish like with other animals (as with pig vs. pork), or as in other languages (such as spanish pescado vs. pez). in culinary and fishery contexts, fish may include so-called shellfish such as molluscs, crustaceans and echinoderms; more expansively, seafood covers both fish and other marine life used as food.since 1961, the average annual increase in global apparent food fish consumption (3.2 percent) has outpaced population growth (1.6 percent) and exceeded consumption of meat from all terrestrial animals, combined (2.8 percent) and individually (bovine, ovine, porcine, etc.), except poultry (4.9 percent). in per capita terms, food fish consumption has grown from 9.0 kg (19.8 lb) in 1961 to 20.2 kg (45 lb) in 2015, at an average rate of about 1.5 percent per year. the expansion in consumption has been driven not only by increased production, but also by a combination of many other factors, including reduced wastage, better utilization, improved distribution channels and growing consumer demand, linked with population growth, rising disposable incomes and urbanization.europe, japan and the united states of america together accounted for 47 percent of the world's total food fish consumption in 1961, but only about 20 percent in 2015. of the global total of 149 million tonnes in 2015, asia consumed more than two-thirds (106 million tonnes at 24.0 kg per capita). oceania and africa consumed the lowest share. the shift is the result of structural changes in the sector and in particular the growing role of asian countries in fish production, as well as a significant gap between the economic growth rates of the world's more mature fish markets and those of many increasingly important emerging markets around the world, particularly in asia.

Lamb

Lamb, hogget, and mutton, generically sheep meat, are the meat of domestic sheep, ovis aries. a sheep in its first year is a lamb and its meat is also lamb. the meat from sheep in their second year is hogget. older sheep meat is mutton. generally, "hogget" and "sheep meat" are not used by consumers outside norway, new zealand, south africa and australia. hogget has become more common in england, particularly in the north (lancashire and yorkshire) often in association with rare breed and organic farming. in south asian and caribbean cuisine, "mutton" often means goat meat. at various times and places, "mutton" or "goat mutton" has occasionally been used to mean goat meat.lamb is the most expensive of the three types and in recent decades sheep meat is increasingly only retailed as "lamb", sometimes stretching the accepted distinctions given above. the stronger-tasting mutton is now hard to find in many areas, despite the efforts of the mutton renaissance campaign in the uk. in australia, the term prime lamb is often used to refer to lambs raised for meat. other languages, for example french, spanish, italian and arabic, make similar or even more detailed distinctions among sheep meats by age and sometimes by sex and diet—for example, lechazo in spanish refers to meat from milk-fed (unweaned) lambs.

Lobster

Lobsters are a family (nephropidae, synonym homaridae) of large marine crustaceans. lobsters have long bodies with muscular tails, and live in crevices or burrows on the sea floor. three of their five pairs of legs have claws, including the first pair, which are usually much larger than the others. highly prized as seafood, lobsters are economically important, and are often one of the most profitable commodities in coastal areas they populate.commercially important species include two species of homarus (which look more like the stereotypical lobster) from the northern atlantic ocean, and scampi (which look more like a shrimp, or a "mini lobster") — the northern hemisphere genus nephrops and the southern hemisphere genus metanephrops.

Malva pudding

Malva pudding is a sweet pudding of south african origin. it contains apricot jam and has a spongy caramelised texture. a cream sauce is often poured over it while it is hot, and it is usually served hot with custard and/or ice-cream. many south african restaurants offer it. the pudding is thought to originally be of dutch then cape dutch origin synonymous with the cape.the pudding gained popularity on the west coast of the us after oprah winfrey's personal chef, art smith, served it for christmas dinner in 2006 to the pupils of the oprah winfrey leadership academy for girls in south africa.there are various theories on the origin of the name. the oxford english dictionary says it comes from afrikaans malvalekker, meaning "marshmallow" (ultimately from latin malva, a mallow). this may arise from a resemblance between the pudding's texture and that of a marshmallow or a similar afrikaner sweet, the malvelekker, made with the extract of marsh mallow. malva is also afrikaans for geranium (in the broad sense, including pelargonium). another botanical theory is that the batter was originally flavoured with the leaves of the lemon- or the rose-scented geranium, varieties of south african native plants. art smith said that according to colin cowie, his hospitality ambassador in south africa, the pudding was named after a woman called malva. another theory is that the sauce originally contained malvasia (malmsey) wine. proponents of this theory include brandy or sherry in the sauce. still others suggest that the pudding was originally accompanied by malvasia wine.jan ellis pudding is a variant.

Melktert

Melktert (, afrikaans for milk tart) is a south african dessert originally created by the dutch settlers in the "cape" (south africa) consisting of a sweet pastry crust containing a custard filling made from milk, flour, sugar and eggs. the ratio of milk to eggs is higher than in a traditional portuguese custard tart or chinese egg tart, resulting in a lighter texture and a stronger milk flavour.the dessert originated among settlers at the dutch cape colony in the 17th century, and is believed to have developed from the dutch mattentaart, a cheesecake-like dessert which was included in the cookbook een notabel boexcken van cokeryen (a notable book of cookery) published by thomas van der noot around 1514. some recipes require that the custard be baked in the crust, while others call for the custard to be prepared in advance, and then placed in the crust before serving. cinnamon is often sprinkled over its surface, and the milk used for the custard may also be infused with a cinnamon stick before preparation. a staple at church fetes and home industries, and commonplace in south african supermarkets, melktert may be served chilled or at room temperature, or slightly warmed.

Pannekoek

A pannenkoek (dutch pronunciation: [ˈpɑnəˌkuk] (listen); plural pannenkoeken (listen)) or dutch pancake is a style of pancake with origins in the netherlands. pannenkoeken are usually larger (up to a foot in diameter) and much thinner than their american or scotch pancake counterparts, but not as thin as crêpes. they may incorporate slices of bacon, apples, cheese, or raisins. plain ones are often eaten with treacle (syrup made of sugar beets), appelstroop (an unspiced dutch variety of apple butter) or (powdered) sugar and are sometimes rolled up to be eaten by hand or with cutlery. basic ingredients are flour (plain, self-rising or both), milk, salt, and eggs. the addition of buckwheat flour (up to 50 percent) is traditional, but much less common nowadays. milk can be replaced with soy milk without changing the end result. the ingredients are beaten into a batter of a fairly liquid consistency. a ladle of batter is then pan fried in butter or oil. once the top of the pannenkoek is dry and the edges start to brown, it can be flipped over. the first one is often less than perfect. at home a stack of pannenkoeken can be made in advance so everyone can eat at the same time, or people can take turns at the stove. pannenkoeken can be, and often are, eaten as a main course, served warm; in winter pannenkoeken are sometimes eaten after snert in a two course meal. pannenkoeken are a popular choice for a child's birthday meal in the netherlands and belgium. specialised pannenkoeken restaurants are common in the netherlands and belgium ("pannenkoekenhuizen" = pancake houses). they often offer a very wide range of toppings and ingredients, traditional and modern (e.g. cheese, oregano and salami on a pizza-pannenkoek). dutch and belgian supermarkets offer pre-cooked (microwavable) pannenkoeken as well as pre-made batter and dry flour mixes. the latter only needs added water.

Schweinshaxe

Schweinshaxe (german pronunciation: [ˈʃvaɪns.haksə]), in german cuisine, is a roasted ham hock (or “pork knuckle”). the ham hock is the end of the pig's leg, just above the ankle and below the meaty ham portion. it is especially popular in bavaria as schweinshaxn [ˈʃvaɪns.haksn̩] or sauhax(n) [ˈsaohaks(n̩)]. a variation of this dish is known in parts of germany as eisbein, in which the ham hock is pickled and usually slightly boiled. schweinshaxe is one of the formerly typical peasant foods, in which recipes were composed to make inexpensive and tough cuts of meat more palatable (see, for beef, the popular sauerbraten). such inexpensive cuts usually require long periods of preparation. the meat is sometimes marinated for days, and in the case of big cuts up to a week. the schweinshaxe is then roasted at low temperatures, typically—depending on size—for two to three hours. the most popular side dishes are potatoes and cabbage variations. the austrian version of this dish is called stelze [ˈʃtɛl.tsə] or in dialect stötzn/stelzn ['ʃtœˑ.tsṇ]. it is usually marinated or pre-boiled in a caraway seed and garlic brine, roasted until the skin is crisp, and served with mustard, horseradish, and pickled chili peppers. the bavarian version is classically served with potato dumplings and red cabbage, or with sauerkraut and potatoes.

Seafood

Seafood is any form of sea life regarded as food by humans, prominently including fish and shellfish. shellfish include various species of molluscs (e.g. bivalve molluscs such as clams, oysters and mussels, and cephalopods such as octopus and squid), crustaceans (e.g. shrimp, crabs, and lobster), and echinoderms (e.g. sea cucumbers and sea urchins). historically, marine mammals such as cetaceans (whales and dolphins) as well as seals have been eaten as food, though that happens to a lesser extent in modern times. edible sea plants such as some seaweeds and microalgae are widely eaten as sea vegetables around the world, especially in asia. seafood is an important source of (animal) protein in many diets around the world, especially in coastal areas. semi-vegetarians who consume seafood as the only source of meat are said to adhere to pescetarianism. the harvesting of wild seafood is usually known as fishing or hunting, while the cultivation and farming of seafood is known as aquaculture and fish farming (in the case of fish). most of the seafood harvest is consumed by humans, but a significant proportion is used as fish food to farm other fish or rear farm animals. some seafoods (i.e. kelp) are used as food for other plants (a fertilizer). in these ways, seafoods are used to produce further food for human consumption. also, products such as fish oil and spirulina tablets are extracted from seafoods. some seafood is fed to aquarium fish, or used to feed domestic pets such as cats. a small proportion is used in medicine, or is used industrially for nonfood purposes (e.g. leather).

Springbok

The springbok (antidorcas marsupialis) is a medium-sized antelope found mainly in southern and southwestern africa. the sole member of the genus antidorcas, this bovid was first described by the german zoologist eberhard august wilhelm von zimmermann in 1780. three subspecies are identified. a slender, long-legged antelope, the springbok reaches 71 to 86 cm (28 to 34 in) at the shoulder and weighs between 27 and 42 kg (60 and 93 lb). both sexes have a pair of black, 35-to-50 cm (14-to-20 in) long horns that curve backwards. the springbok is characterised by a white face, a dark stripe running from the eyes to the mouth, a light-brown coat marked by a reddish-brown stripe that runs from the upper fore leg to the buttocks across the flanks like the thomson's gazelle, and a white rump flap. active mainly at dawn and dusk, springbok form harems (mixed-sex herds). in earlier times, springbok of the kalahari desert and karoo migrated in large numbers across the countryside, a practice known as trekbokking. a feature, peculiar but not unique, to the springbok is pronking, in which the springbok performs multiple leaps into the air, up to 2 m (6.6 ft) above the ground, in a stiff-legged posture, with the back bowed and the white flap lifted. primarily a browser, the springbok feeds on shrubs and succulents; this antelope can live without drinking water for years, meeting its requirements through eating succulent vegetation. breeding takes place year-round, and peaks in the rainy season, when forage is most abundant. a single calf is born after a five- to six-month-long pregnancy; weaning occurs at nearly six months of age, and the calf leaves its mother a few months later. springbok inhabit the dry areas of south and southwestern africa. the international union for conservation of nature and natural resources classifies the springbok as a least concern species. no major threats to the long-term survival of the species are known; the springbok, in fact, is one of the few antelope species considered to have an expanding population. they are popular game animals, and are valued for their meat and skin. the springbok is the national animal of south africa.

Stewed meat

A stew is a combination of solid food ingredients that have been cooked in liquid and served in the resultant gravy. ingredients in a stew can include any combination of vegetables and may include meat, especially tougher meats suitable for slow-cooking, such as beef, pork, lamb, poultry, sausages, and seafood. while water can be used as the stew-cooking liquid, stock is also common. a small amount of red wine is sometimes added for flavour. seasoning and flavourings may also be added. stews are typically cooked at a relatively low temperature (simmered, not boiled), allowing flavours to mingle. stewing is suitable for the least tender cuts of meat that become tender and juicy with the slow moist heat method. this makes it popular in low-cost cooking. cuts having a certain amount of marbling and gelatinous connective tissue give moist, juicy stews, while lean meat may easily become dry. stews are thickened by reduction or with flour, either by coating pieces of meat with flour before searing, or by using a roux or beurre manié, a dough consisting of equal parts of fat and flour. thickeners like cornstarch, potato starch, or arrowroot may also be used. stews are similar to soups, and in some cases there may not be a clear distinction between the two. generally, stews have less liquid than soups, are much thicker and require longer cooking over low heat. while soups are almost always served in a bowl, stews may be thick enough to be served on a plate with the gravy as a sauce over the solid ingredients.
