Arabica coffee

Coffea arabica (), also known as the arabic coffee, is a species of flowering plant in the coffee and madder family rubiaceae. it is believed to be the first species of coffee to have been cultivated, and is currently the dominant cultivar, representing about 60% of global production. coffee produced from the (less acidic, more bitter, and more highly caffeinated) robusta bean (c. canephora) makes up most of the remaining coffee production. arabica coffee originates from ethiopia and was first cultivated in yemen, and documented by the 12th century. coffea arabica is called ‏بُنّ‎ (būnn) in arabic, borrowed from the oromo "buna".

Bacon

Bacon is a type of salt-cured pork made from various cuts, typically the belly or less fatty parts of the back. it is eaten as a side dish (particularly in breakfasts), used as a central ingredient (e.g., the bacon, lettuce, and tomato sandwich (blt)), or as a flavouring or accent (as in bacon bits in a salad). bacon is also used for barding and larding roasts, especially game, including venison and pheasant, and may also be used to insulate or flavour roast joints by being layered onto the meat. the word is derived from the proto-germanic *bakkon, meaning "back meat". meat from other animals, such as beef, lamb, chicken, goat, or turkey, may also be cut, cured, or otherwise prepared to resemble bacon, and may even be referred to as, for example, "turkey bacon". such use is common in areas with significant jewish and muslim populations as both religions prohibit the consumption of pork. vegetarian bacons such as "soy bacon" also exist.

Cabernet Sauvignon

Cabernet sauvignon (french: [kabɛʁnɛ soviɲɔ̃]) is one of the world's most widely recognized red wine grape varieties. it is grown in nearly every major wine producing country among a diverse spectrum of climates from australia and british columbia, canada to lebanon's beqaa valley. cabernet sauvignon became internationally recognized through its prominence in bordeaux wines where it is often blended with merlot and cabernet franc. from france and spain, the grape spread across europe and to the new world where it found new homes in places like california's santa cruz mountains, paso robles, napa valley, new zealand's hawke's bay, south africa's stellenbosch region, australia's margaret river, mclaren vale and coonawarra regions, and chile's maipo valley and colchagua. for most of the 20th century, it was the world's most widely planted premium red wine grape until it was surpassed by merlot in the 1990s. however, by 2015, cabernet sauvignon had once again become the most widely planted wine grape, with a total of 341,000 hectares (3,410 km2) under vine worldwide.despite its prominence in the industry, the grape is a relatively new variety, the product of a chance crossing between cabernet franc and sauvignon blanc during the 17th century in southwestern france. its popularity is often attributed to its ease of cultivation—the grapes have thick skins and the vines are hardy and naturally low yielding, budding late to avoid frost and resistant to viticultural hazards such as rot and insects—and to its consistent presentation of structure and flavours which express the typical character ("typicity") of the variety. familiarity has helped to sell cabernet sauvignon wines to consumers, even when from unfamiliar wine regions. its widespread popularity has also contributed to criticism of the grape as a "colonizer" that takes over wine regions at the expense of indigenous grape varieties.the classic profile of cabernet sauvignon tends to be full-bodied wines with high tannins and noticeable acidity that contributes to the wine's aging potential. in cooler climates, cabernet sauvignon tends to produce wines with blackcurrant notes that can be accompanied by green bell pepper notes, mint and cedar which will all become more pronounced as the wine ages. in more moderate climates the black currant notes are often seen with black cherry and black olive notes while in very hot climates the currant flavors can veer towards the over-ripe and "jammy" side. in parts of australia, particularly the coonawarra wine region of south australia, cabernet sauvignon wines tend to have characteristic eucalyptus or menthol notes.

Cappuccino

A cappuccino ( (listen); italian pronunciation: [kapputˈtʃiːno]; italian plural: cappuccini) is an espresso-based coffee drink that originated in austria with later development taking place in italy, and is prepared with steamed milk foam (microfoam).variations of the drink involve the use of cream instead of milk, using non-dairy milk substitutes and flavoring with cinnamon or chocolate powder. it is typically smaller in volume than a caffè latte, with a thicker layer of microfoam.the name comes from the capuchin friars, referring to the colour of their habits, and in this context referring to the colour of the beverage when milk is added in small portion to dark, brewed coffee (today mostly espresso). the physical appearance of a modern cappuccino with espresso créma and steamed milk is a result of a long evolution of the drink. the viennese bestowed the name "kapuziner", possibly in the 18th century, on a version that included whipped cream and spices of unknown origin. the italian cappuccino was unknown outside italy until the 1930s, and seems to be born out of viennese-style cafés in trieste and other italian areas in austria-hungary through the kapuziner coffee in the early 20th century. the drink spread from trieste, the main coffee port in central europe, throughout italy, especially after world war i and later worldwide, and can be found at a number of establishments.

Chardonnay

Chardonnay (uk: , us: , french: [ʃaʁdɔnɛ] (listen)) is a green-skinned grape variety used in the production of white wine. the variety originated in the burgundy wine region of eastern france, but is now grown wherever wine is produced, from england to new zealand. for new and developing wine regions, growing chardonnay is seen as a 'rite of passage' and an easy entry into the international wine market.the chardonnay grape itself is neutral, with many of the flavors commonly associated with the wine being derived from such influences as terroir and oak. it is vinified in many different styles, from the lean, crisply mineral wines of chablis, france, to new world wines with oak and tropical fruit flavors. in cool climates (such as chablis and the carneros ava of california), chardonnay wine tends to be medium to light body with noticeable acidity and flavors of green plum, apple, and pear. in warmer locations (such as the adelaide hills and mornington peninsula in australia and gisborne and marlborough region of new zealand), the flavors become more citrus, peach, and melon, while in very warm locations (such as the central coast ava of california), more fig and tropical fruit notes such as banana and mango come out. wines that have gone through malolactic fermentation tend to have softer acidity and fruit flavors with buttery mouthfeel and hazelnut notes.chardonnay is an important component of many sparkling wines around the world, including champagne and franciacorta in italy. chardonnay's popularity peaked in the late 1980s, then gave way to a backlash among those wine connoisseurs who saw the grape as a leading negative component of the globalization of wine. nonetheless, it is one of the most widely planted grape varieties, with 210,000 hectares (520,000 acres) worldwide, second only to airén among white wine grapes and fifth among all wine grapes.

Cheese

Cheese is a dairy product produced in wide ranges of flavors, textures, and forms by coagulation of the milk protein casein. it comprises proteins and fat from milk, usually the milk of cows, buffalo, goats, or sheep. during production, milk is usually acidified and the enzymes of either rennet or bacterial enzymes with similar activity are added to cause the casein to coagulate. the solid curds are then separated from the liquid whey and pressed into finished cheese. some cheeses have aromatic molds on the rind, the outer layer, or throughout. over a thousand types of cheese exist and are produced in various countries. their styles, textures and flavors depend on the origin of the milk (including the animal's diet), whether they have been pasteurized, the butterfat content, the bacteria and mold, the processing, and how long they have been aged for. herbs, spices, or wood smoke may be used as flavoring agents. the yellow to red color of many cheeses is produced by adding annatto. other ingredients may be added to some cheeses, such as black pepper, garlic, chives or cranberries. a cheesemonger, or specialist seller of cheeses, may have expertise with selecting the cheeses, purchasing, receiving, storing and ripening them.for a few cheeses, the milk is curdled by adding acids such as vinegar or lemon juice. most cheeses are acidified to a lesser degree by bacteria, which turn milk sugars into lactic acid, then the addition of rennet completes the curdling. vegetarian alternatives to rennet are available; most are produced by fermentation of the fungus mucor miehei, but others have been extracted from various species of the cynara thistle family. non-vegan cheese has a high carbon footprint. cheesemakers near a dairy region may benefit from fresher, lower-priced milk, and lower shipping costs. cheese is valued for its portability, long shelf life, and high content of fat, protein, calcium, and phosphorus. cheese is more compact and has a longer shelf life than milk, although how long a cheese will keep depends on the type of cheese. hard cheeses, such as parmesan, last longer than soft cheeses, such as brie or goat's milk cheese. the long storage life of some cheeses, especially when encased in a protective rind, allows selling when markets are favorable. vacuum packaging of block-shaped cheeses and gas-flushing of plastic bags with mixtures of carbon dioxide and nitrogen are used for storage and mass distribution of cheeses in the 21st century.

Chocolate

Chocolate is a food product made from roasted and ground cacao seed kernels, that is available as a liquid, solid or paste, on its own or as a flavoring agent in other foods. cacao has been consumed in some form since at least the olmec civilization (19th-11th century bce), and the majority of mesoamerican people ─ including the maya and aztecs ─ made chocolate beverages.the seeds of the cacao tree have an intense bitter taste and must be fermented to develop the flavor. after fermentation, the seeds are dried, cleaned, and roasted. the shell is removed to produce cocoa nibs, which are then ground to cocoa mass, unadulterated chocolate in rough form. once the cocoa mass is liquefied by heating, it is called chocolate liquor. the liquor may also be cooled and processed into its two components: cocoa solids and cocoa butter. baking chocolate, also called bitter chocolate, contains cocoa solids and cocoa butter in varying proportions, without any added sugar. powdered baking cocoa, which contains more fiber than cocoa butter, can be processed with alkali to produce dutch cocoa. much of the chocolate consumed today is in the form of sweet chocolate, a combination of cocoa solids, cocoa butter or added vegetable oils, and sugar. milk chocolate is sweet chocolate that additionally contains milk powder or condensed milk. white chocolate contains cocoa butter, sugar, and milk, but no cocoa solids. chocolate is one of the most popular food types and flavors in the world, and many foodstuffs involving chocolate exist, particularly desserts, including cakes, pudding, mousse, chocolate brownies, and chocolate chip cookies. many candies are filled with or coated with sweetened chocolate. chocolate bars, either made of solid chocolate or other ingredients coated in chocolate, are eaten as snacks. gifts of chocolate molded into different shapes (such as eggs, hearts, coins) are traditional on certain western holidays, including christmas, easter, valentine's day, and hanukkah. chocolate is also used in cold and hot beverages, such as chocolate milk and hot chocolate, and in some alcoholic drinks, such as creme de cacao. although cocoa originated in the americas, west african countries, particularly côte d'ivoire and ghana, are the leading producers of cocoa in the 21st century, accounting for some 60% of the world cocoa supply. with some two million children involved in the farming of cocoa in west africa, child slavery and trafficking associated with the cocoa trade remain major concerns. a 2018 report argued that international attempts to improve conditions for children were doomed to failure because of persistent poverty, absence of schools, increasing world cocoa demand, more intensive farming of cocoa, and continued exploitation of child labor.

Coffee

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.

Cognac

Cognac ( kon-yak, also us: kohn-, kawn-, french: [kɔɲak] (listen)) is a variety of brandy named after the commune of cognac, france. it is produced in the surrounding wine-growing region in the departments of charente and charente-maritime. cognac production falls under french appellation d'origine contrôlée (aoc) designation, with production methods and naming required to meet certain legal requirements. among the specified grapes, ugni blanc, known locally as saint-émilion, is most widely used. the brandy must be twice distilled in copper pot stills and aged at least two years in french oak barrels from limousin or tronçais. cognac matures in the same way as whiskies and wines barrel-age, and most cognacs spend considerably longer "on the wood" than the minimum legal requirement.

Croissant

A croissant (uk: , us: , french: [kʁwasɑ̃] (listen)) is a buttery, flaky, french viennoiserie pastry inspired by the shape of the austrian kipferl but using the french yeast-leavened laminated dough. croissants are named for their historical crescent shape, the dough is layered with butter, rolled and folded several times in succession, then rolled into a thin sheet, in a technique called laminating. the process results in a layered, flaky texture, similar to a puff pastry. crescent-shaped breads have been made since the renaissance, and crescent-shaped cakes possibly since antiquity but using brioche dough. kipferls have long been a staple of austrian, and french bakeries and pâtisseries. the modern croissant was developed in the early 20th century when french bakers replaced the brioche dough of the kipferl with a yeast-leavened laminated dough. in the late 1970s, the development of factory-made, frozen, preformed but unbaked dough made them into a fast food that could be freshly baked by unskilled labor. the croissant bakery, notably the la croissanterie chain, was a french response to american-style fast food, and as of 2008, 30–40% of the croissants sold in french bakeries and patisseries were baked from frozen dough.croissants are a common part of a continental breakfast in many european countries.

Csalamádé

Pickling is the process of preserving or extending the shelf life of food by either anaerobic fermentation in brine or immersion in vinegar. the pickling procedure typically affects the food's texture and flavor. the resulting food is called a pickle, or, to prevent ambiguity, prefaced with pickled. foods that are pickled include vegetables, fruits, meats, fish, dairy and eggs. a distinguishing characteristic is a ph of 4.6 or lower, which is sufficient to kill most bacteria. pickling can preserve perishable foods for months. antimicrobial herbs and spices, such as mustard seed, garlic, cinnamon or cloves, are often added. if the food contains sufficient moisture, a pickling brine may be produced simply by adding dry salt. for example, sauerkraut and korean kimchi are produced by salting the vegetables to draw out excess water. natural fermentation at room temperature, by lactic acid bacteria, produces the required acidity. other pickles are made by placing vegetables in vinegar. like the canning process, pickling (which includes fermentation) does not require that the food be completely sterile before it is sealed. the acidity or salinity of the solution, the temperature of fermentation, and the exclusion of oxygen determine which microorganisms dominate, and determine the flavor of the end product.when both salt concentration and temperature are low, leuconostoc mesenteroides dominates, producing a mix of acids, alcohol, and aroma compounds. at higher temperatures lactobacillus plantarum dominates, which produces primarily lactic acid. many pickles start with leuconostoc, and change to lactobacillus with higher acidity.

Dagnje

Mussel () is the common name used for members of several families of bivalve molluscs, from saltwater and freshwater habitats. these groups have in common a shell whose outline is elongated and asymmetrical compared with other edible clams, which are often more or less rounded or oval. the word "mussel" is frequently used to mean the bivalves of the marine family mytilidae, most of which live on exposed shores in the intertidal zone, attached by means of their strong byssal threads ("beard") to a firm substrate. a few species (in the genus bathymodiolus) have colonised hydrothermal vents associated with deep ocean ridges. in most marine mussels the shell is longer than it is wide, being wedge-shaped or asymmetrical. the external colour of the shell is often dark blue, blackish, or brown, while the interior is silvery and somewhat nacreous. the common name "mussel" is also used for many freshwater bivalves, including the freshwater pearl mussels. freshwater mussel species inhabit lakes, ponds, rivers, creeks, canals, and they are classified in a different subclass of bivalves, despite some very superficial similarities in appearance. freshwater zebra mussels and their relatives in the family dreissenidae are not related to previously mentioned groups, even though they resemble many mytilus species in shape, and live attached to rocks and other hard surfaces in a similar manner, using a byssus. they are classified with the heterodonta, the taxonomic group which includes most of the bivalves commonly referred to as "clams".

Doppio

Doppio espresso (italian pronunciation: [ˈdoppjo]) is a double shot which is extracted using double the amount of ground coffee in a larger-sized portafilter basket. this results in 60 ml (2.1 imp fl oz; 2.0 us fl oz) of drink, double the amount of a single shot espresso. doppio is italian multiplier, meaning "double". it is commonly called a standard double, due to its standard in judging the espresso quality in barista competitions, where four single espresso are made using two double portafilters. a single shot of espresso, by contrast, is called a solo ("single") and was developed because it was the maximum amount of ground coffee that could practically be extracted by lever espresso machines. at most cafés outside of italy, a doppio is the standard shot. because solos require a smaller portafilter basket, solo shots are often produced by making ("pulling") a doppio in a two-spout portafilter and only serving one of the streams; the other stream may be discarded or used in another drink.

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.

Espresso

Espresso ( (listen), italian: [eˈsprɛsso]) is a coffee-brewing method of italian origin, in which a small amount of nearly boiling water (about 90 °c or 190 °f) is forced under 9–10 bars (900–1,000 kpa; 130–150 psi) of pressure through finely-ground coffee beans. espresso coffee can be made with a wide variety of coffee beans and roast degrees. espresso is the most common way of making coffee in southern europe, especially in italy, france, spain and portugal. it is also popular in switzerland, croatia, bulgaria, greece, and in australia. espresso is generally thicker than coffee brewed by other methods, with a viscosity similar to that of warm honey. this is due to the higher concentration of suspended and dissolved solids, and the crema on top (a foam with a creamy consistency). as a result of the pressurized brewing process, the flavors and chemicals in a typical cup of espresso are very concentrated. espresso has more caffeine per unit volume than most coffee beverages, but because the usual serving size is much smaller, the total caffeine content is less than a mug of standard brewed coffee. the actual caffeine content of any coffee drink varies by size, bean origin, roast method and other factors, but a typical 28 grams (1 ounce) serving of espresso usually contains 64.5 milligrams of caffeine, whereas a typical serving of drip coffee usually contains 150 to 200 mg.the three dispersed phases in espresso are what make this beverage unique. the first dispersed phase is an emulsion of oil droplets. the second phase is suspended solids, while the third is the layer of gas bubbles or foam. the dispersion of very small oil droplets is perceived in the mouth as creamy. this characteristic of espresso contributes to what is known as the body of the beverage. these oil droplets preserve some of the aromatic compounds that are lost to the air in other coffee forms. this preserves the strong coffee flavor present in the espresso.espresso is the base for various coffee drinks, including caffè latte, cappuccino, caffè macchiato, caffè mocha, flat white, and caffè americano.

The pea is most commonly the small spherical seed or the seed-pod of the pod fruit pisum sativum. each pod contains several peas, which can be green or yellow. botanically, pea pods are fruit, since they contain seeds and develop from the ovary of a (pea) flower. the name is also used to describe other edible seeds from the fabaceae such as the pigeon pea (cajanus cajan), the cowpea (vigna unguiculata), and the seeds from several species of lathyrus. peas are annual plants, with a life cycle of one year. they are a cool-season crop grown in many parts of the world; planting can take place from winter to early summer depending on location. the average pea weighs between 0.1 and 0.36 gram. the immature peas (and in snow peas the tender pod as well) are used as a vegetable, fresh, frozen or canned; varieties of the species typically called field peas are grown to produce dry peas like the split pea shelled from a matured pod. these are the basis of pease porridge and pea soup, staples of medieval cuisine; in europe, consuming fresh immature green peas was an innovation of early modern cuisine.

Irish stew

Irish stew (irish: stobhach/stobhach gaelach) is a stew native to ireland that is traditionally made with root vegetables and lamb or mutton, but also commonly with beef. as in all traditional folk dishes, the exact recipe is not consistent from time to time, or place to place. basic ingredients include lamb, or mutton (mutton is used as it comes from less tender sheep over a year old, is fattier, and has a stronger flavour, and was generally more common in less-affluent times), as well as potatoes, onions, and parsley. it may sometimes also include carrots. irish stew is also made with kid. irish stew is a celebrated irish dish, yet its composition is a matter of dispute. purists maintain that the only acceptable and traditional ingredients are neck mutton chops or kid, potatoes, onions, and water. others would add such items as carrots, turnips and pearl barley; but the purists maintain that they spoil the true flavour of the dish. the ingredients are boiled and simmered slowly for up to two hours. mutton was the dominant ingredient because the economic importance of sheep lay in their wool and milk produce and this ensured that only old or economically non-viable animals ended up in the cooking pot, where they needed hours of slow cooking. irish stew is the product of a culinary tradition that relied almost exclusively on cooking over an open fire. it seems that irish stew was recognised as early as about 1800.irish stew is considered a national dish of ireland.

Jogurt

Yogurt (uk: ; us: , from turkish: yoğurmak, also spelled yoghurt, yogourt or yoghourt) is a food produced by bacterial fermentation of milk. the bacteria used to make yogurt are known as yogurt cultures. fermentation of sugars in the milk by these bacteria produces lactic acid, which acts on milk protein to give yogurt its texture and characteristic tart flavor. cow's milk is the milk most commonly used to make yogurt. milk from water buffalo, goats, ewes, mares, camels, and yaks are also used to produce yogurt. the milk used may be homogenized or not. it may be pasteurized or raw. each type of milk produces substantially different results. yogurt is produced using a culture of lactobacillus delbrueckii subsp. bulgaricus and streptococcus thermophilus bacteria. in addition, other lactobacilli and bifidobacteria are sometimes added during or after culturing yogurt. some countries require yogurt to contain a specific amount of colony-forming units (cfu) of bacteria; in china, for example, the requirement for the number of lactobacillus bacteria is at least 1 million cfu per milliliter.to produce yogurt, milk is first heated, usually to about 85 °c (185 °f), to denature the milk proteins so that they do not form curds. after heating, the milk is allowed to cool to about 45 °c (113 °f). the bacterial culture is mixed in, and a warm temperature of 30–45 °c (86–113 °f) is maintained for 4 to 12 hours to allow fermentation to occur, with the higher temperatures working faster but risking a lumpy texture or whey separation.
