Avocado soup

The avocado (persea americana) is a tree originating in the americas which is likely native to the highland regions of south-central mexico to guatemala. it is classified as a member of the flowering plant family lauraceae. the fruit of the plant, also called an avocado (or avocado pear or alligator pear), is botanically a large berry containing a single large seed. avocado trees are partially self-pollinating, and are often propagated through grafting to maintain predictable fruit quality and quantity.avocados are cultivated in tropical and mediterranean climates of many countries, with mexico as the leading producer of avocados in 2019, supplying 32% of the world total. avocado production is one of the most environmentally intensive fruits, using 70 litres (18 us gallons; 15 imperial gallons) of water per avocado, and over 400 grams of co2 emissions. in major production regions like chile, mexico and california, the water demands for avocado puts pressure on overall water resources. avocado production is also connected to other concerns, including environmental justice and human rights concerns, deforestation and connections of mexican avocados with organized crime. climate change is expected to cause significant changes in the suitable growing zones for avocados, and put additional pressure due to heat waves and drought.the fruit of domestic varieties has a buttery flesh when ripe. depending on the variety, avocados have green, brown, purplish, or black skin when ripe, and may be pear-shaped, egg-shaped, or spherical. commercially, the fruits are picked while immature, and ripened after harvesting. the high fat and smooth texture of avocados make it a useful and diverse food in different cuisines, and is traditionally important in mexican foods. the high nutritional value and concentration of fat, make avocados a commonly used food in vegetarian foods and generally is thought nutritious and healthy.

Bacardi

Rum is a liquor made by fermenting and then distilling sugarcane molasses or sugarcane juice. the distillate, a clear liquid, is usually aged in oak barrels. rum is produced in nearly every sugar-producing region of the world, such as the philippines, where tanduay is the largest producer of rum globally.rums are produced in various grades. light rums are commonly used in cocktails, whereas "golden" and "dark" rums were typically consumed straight or neat, iced ("on the rocks"), or used for cooking, but are now commonly consumed with mixers. premium rums are made to be consumed either straight or iced. rum plays a part in the culture of most islands of the west indies as well as the maritime provinces and newfoundland, in canada. the beverage has famous associations with the royal navy (where it was mixed with water or beer to make grog) and piracy (where it was consumed as bumbo). rum has also served as a popular medium of economic exchange, used to help fund enterprises such as slavery (see triangular trade), organized crime, and military insurgencies (e.g., the american revolution and australia's rum rebellion).

Baked beans

Baked beans is a dish traditionally containing white beans that are parboiled and then, in the us, baked in sauce at low temperature for a lengthy period. in the united kingdom, the dish is sometimes baked, but usually stewed in sauce. canned baked beans are not baked, but are cooked through a steam process.baked beans originate in native american cuisine, and are made from beans indigenous to the americas. the dish was adopted and adapted by english colonists in new england in the 17th century and, through cookbooks published in the 19th century, spread to other regions of the united states and into canada. today, in the new england region of the united states, a variety of indigenous legumes are used in restaurants or in the home, such as jacob's cattle, soldier beans, yellow-eyed beans, and navy beans (also known as native beans).originally, native americans sweetened baked beans with maple syrup, a tradition some recipes still follow, but some english colonists used brown sugar beginning in the 17th century. in the 18th century, the convention of using american-made molasses as a sweetening agent became increasingly popular to avoid british taxes on sugar. boston baked beans use a sauce prepared with molasses and salt pork, a dish whose popularity has given boston the nickname "beantown".today, baked beans are served throughout the united states alongside barbecue foods and at picnics. beans in a brown sugar, sugar, or corn syrup sauce (with or without tomatoes) are widely available throughout the united states. bush brothers are the largest producer. after the american revolutionary war, independence day celebrations often included baked beans.canned baked beans are used as a convenience food; most are made from haricot beans (aka navy beans) in sauce. they may be eaten hot or cold, and straight from the can, as they are fully cooked. h. j. heinz began producing canned baked beans in 1886. in the early 20th century, canned baked beans gained international popularity, particularly in the united kingdom, where they have become a common part of an english full breakfast.

Banana

A banana is an elongated, edible fruit – botanically a berry – produced by several kinds of large herbaceous flowering plants in the genus musa. in some countries, bananas used for cooking may be called "plantains", distinguishing them from dessert bananas. the fruit is variable in size, color, and firmness, but is usually elongated and curved, with soft flesh rich in starch covered with a rind, which may be green, yellow, red, purple, or brown when ripe. the fruits grow upward in clusters near the top of the plant. almost all modern edible seedless (parthenocarp) bananas come from two wild species – musa acuminata and musa balbisiana. the scientific names of most cultivated bananas are musa acuminata, musa balbisiana, and musa × paradisiaca for the hybrid musa acuminata × m. balbisiana, depending on their genomic constitution. the old scientific name for this hybrid, musa sapientum, is no longer used. musa species are native to tropical indomalaya and australia, and are likely to have been first domesticated in papua new guinea. they are grown in 135 countries, primarily for their fruit, and to a lesser extent to make fiber, banana wine, and banana beer and as ornamental plants. the world's largest producers of bananas in 2017 were india and china, which together accounted for approximately 38% of total production.worldwide, there is no sharp distinction between "bananas" and "plantains". especially in the americas and europe, "banana" usually refers to soft, sweet, dessert bananas, particularly those of the cavendish group, which are the main exports from banana-growing countries. by contrast, musa cultivars with firmer, starchier fruit are called "plantains". in other regions, such as southeast asia, many more kinds of banana are grown and eaten, so the binary distinction is not as useful and is not made in local languages. the term "banana" is also used as the common name for the plants that produce the fruit. this can extend to other members of the genus musa, such as the scarlet banana (musa coccinea), the pink banana (musa velutina), and the fe'i bananas. it can also refer to members of the genus ensete, such as the snow banana (ensete glaucum) and the economically important false banana (ensete ventricosum). both genera are in the banana family, musaceae.

Breadfruit

Breadfruit (artocarpus altilis) is a species of flowering tree in the mulberry and jackfruit family (moraceae) believed to be a domesticated descendant of artocarpus camansi originating in new guinea, the maluku islands, and the philippines. it was initially spread to oceania via the austronesian expansion. it was further spread to other tropical regions of the world during the colonial era. british and french navigators introduced a few polynesian seedless varieties to caribbean islands during the late 18th century. today it is grown in some 90 countries throughout south and southeast asia, the pacific ocean, the caribbean, central america and africa. its name is derived from the texture of the moderately ripe fruit when cooked, similar to freshly baked bread and having a potato-like flavor.the trees have been widely planted in tropical regions, including lowland central america, northern south america, and the caribbean. in addition to the fruit serving as a staple food in many cultures, the light, sturdy timber of breadfruit has been used for outriggers, ships, and houses in the tropics. breadfruit is closely related to artocarpus camansi (breadnut or seeded breadfruit) of new guinea, the maluku islands, and the philippines, artocarpus blancoi (tipolo or antipolo) of the philippines, and artocarpus mariannensis (dugdug) of micronesia, all of which are sometimes also referred to as "breadfruit". it is also closely related to the jackfruit.

Carrot

The carrot (daucus carota subsp. sativus) is a root vegetable, typically orange in color, though purple, black, red, white, and yellow cultivars exist, all of which are domesticated forms of the wild carrot, daucus carota, native to europe and southwestern asia. the plant probably originated in persia and was originally cultivated for its leaves and seeds. the most commonly eaten part of the plant is the taproot, although the stems and leaves are also eaten. the domestic carrot has been selectively bred for its enlarged, more palatable, less woody-textured taproot. the carrot is a biennial plant in the umbellifer family, apiaceae. at first, it grows a rosette of leaves while building up the enlarged taproot. fast-growing cultivars mature within three months (90 days) of sowing the seed, while slower-maturing cultivars need a month longer (120 days). the roots contain high quantities of alpha- and beta-carotene, and are a good source of vitamin a, vitamin k, and vitamin b6. the united nations food and agriculture organization (fao) reports that world production of carrots and turnips (these plants are combined by the fao) for 2018 was 40 million tonnes, with 45% of the world total grown in china. carrots are commonly consumed raw or cooked in various cuisines.

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.

Conch

Conch () is a common name of a number of different medium-to-large-sized sea snails. conch shells typically have a high spire and a noticeable siphonal canal (in other words, the shell comes to a noticeable point at both ends). in north america, a conch is often identified as a queen conch, indigenous to the waters of the gulf of mexico and caribbean. queen conches are valued for seafood and are also used as fish bait.the group of conches that are sometimes referred to as "true conches" are marine gastropod molluscs in the family strombidae, specifically in the genus strombus and other closely related genera. for example, lobatus gigas, the queen conch, and laevistrombus canarium, the dog conch, are true conches. many other species are also often called "conch", but are not at all closely related to the family strombidae, including melongena species (family melongenidae) and the horse conch triplofusus papillosus (family fasciolariidae). species commonly referred to as conches also include the sacred chank or shankha shell (turbinella pyrum) and other turbinella species in the family turbinellidae. the triton's trumpet (family charoniidae) may also be fashioned into a horn and referred to as a conch.

Cranberry juice is the liquid juice of the cranberry, typically manufactured to contain sugar, water, and other fruit juices. cranberry – a fruit native to north america – is recognized for its bright red color, tart taste, and versatility for product manufacturing. major cranberry products include cranberry juice, dried cranberry, cranberry sauce, frozen cranberry, cranberry powder, and dietary supplements containing cranberry extracts.the term "cranberry juice cocktail" or "cranberry juice blend" refers to products that contain about 28% cranberry juice, with the remainder either from other fruit juice concentrates (typically grape, apple or pear), water, and added sugar to improve palatability. low-calorie cranberry juice products use non-caloric sweeteners. the tartness of cranberry juice derives from its mixed content of polyphenols, including flavonoids, proanthocyanidins, anthocyanins, phenolic acids, and ellagitannins.despite a long-held reputation for providing antibacterial activity against urinary tract infections (utis), cranberry juice has no such proven effects, as determined by a cochrane review of completed clinical research and a scientific panel for the european food safety authority which concluded a cause-and-effect relationship could not be established between cranberry consumption and risk of utis.

A fish sandwich is, most generally, any kind of sandwich made with fish. the term is frequently used to describe food made with breaded, fried fish, which are commonly found in fast food venues.in american english, a sandwich is any two pieces of bread with filling, including rolls and buns; in british english (and also some other national english varieties such as those of australia and new zealand), the word sandwich is defined more narrowly, to require the pieces of bread to be sliced from a loaf, and a roll or bun with filling would not generally be called a sandwich. thus, what would be considered a fish sandwich in the us may not be considered a sandwich at all in some other english-speaking countries, if it is on a roll or bun as opposed to sliced bread. in australia, a piece of whole fried fish served on hamburger-style bun would be called a fish burger; that would not generally be considered to be burger in american english, since in american english a burger requires a patty made of ground meat, so something could only be a fish burger if it contained a patty made of ground fish. examples include: fish finger sandwich, a sandwich made with fish fingers popular in britain where it is a comfort food. tuna sandwich, usually made from canned tuna combined with other ingredients, and which has been called "the mainstay of almost everyone's american childhood". salmon burger, a type of fishcake made mostly from salmon in the style of a hamburger, common in alaska where they are routinely offered as an alternative to beef hamburgers. fried fish sandwiches such as the filet-o-fish (from mcdonald's) and bk big fish (burger king). fischbrötchen, a sandwich made with fish and other components commonly eaten in northern germany, due to the region's proximity to the north sea and baltic sea.

Ice cream

Ice cream is a sweetened frozen food typically eaten as a snack or dessert. it may be made from milk or cream and is flavoured with a sweetener, either sugar or an alternative, and a spice, such as cocoa or vanilla, or with fruit such as strawberries or peaches. it can also be made by whisking a flavored cream base and liquid nitrogen together. food coloring is sometimes added, in addition to stabilizers. the mixture is cooled below the freezing point of water and stirred to incorporate air spaces and to prevent detectable ice crystals from forming. the result is a smooth, semi-solid foam that is solid at very low temperatures (below 2 °c or 35 °f). it becomes more malleable as its temperature increases. the meaning of the name "ice cream" varies from one country to another. ice cream and gelato, based on cream and milk. frozen yogurt, based on yogurt or kefir. frozen custard, with eggs added to cream and sugar. ice milk. sorbet/slushy, ice pop/popsicle/icicle: water base. examples: frozen cola, frozen lemonade, frozen tea. sherbet, like sorbet but with some milk added.in some countries, such as the united states, "ice cream" applies only to a specific variety, and most governments regulate the commercial use of the various terms according to the relative quantities of the main ingredients, notably the amount of cream. products that do not meet the criteria to be called ice cream are sometimes labelled "frozen dairy dessert" instead. in other countries, such as italy and argentina, one word is used for all variants. analogues made from dairy alternatives, such as goat's or sheep's milk, or milk substitutes (e.g., soy, cashew, coconut, almond milk or tofu), are available for those who are lactose intolerant, allergic to dairy protein, or vegan. ice cream may be served in dishes, for eating with a spoon, or licked from edible wafer cones. ice cream may be served with other desserts, such as apple pie, or as an ingredient in ice cream floats, sundaes, milkshakes, ice cream cakes and even baked items, such as baked alaska.

Mauby

Mauby (in trinidad and tobago, saint lucia, jamaica, st. vincent and the grenadines, grenada, guyana, bermuda, barbados, antigua and barbuda and anguilla), also known as maví (or mabí) in the dominican republic and puerto rico, mabi in haiti and martinique, and maubi in the virgin islands and dutch caribbean islands of st. eustatius, st. maarten and saba), is a tree bark-based beverage grown, and widely consumed, in the caribbean. it is made with sugar and the bark and/or fruit of certain species in the genus colubrina including colubrina elliptica (also called behuco indio) and colubrina arborescens, a small tree native to the northern caribbean and south florida. recipes usually include other ingredients as well, spices such as aniseed being very common. mauby was traditionally a fermented beverage made in small batches, but is now predominantly a commercial non-fermented soft drink. haiti and the dominican republic are two of the largest caribbean exporters of the bark and leaves. often the drink is fermented using a portion of the previous batch, while sometimes it is consumed unfermented. mauby is often bought as a pre-made syrup and then mixed with water (sparkling or still) to the consumer's taste, but many make it themselves at home or purchase it from neighbourhood producers or street sellers. its taste is initially sweet, somewhat like root beer, but changes to a prolonged, but not astringent bitter aftertaste. to many, it is an acquired taste, and has been known to cause an initial laxative reaction unexpected to many first-time drinkers.

Mussel

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".

Onion

The onion (allium cepa l., from latin cepa meaning "onion"), also known as the bulb onion or common onion, is a vegetable that is the most widely cultivated species of the genus allium. the shallot is a botanical variety of the onion which was classified as a separate species until 2010.: 21  its close relatives include garlic, scallion, leek, and chive.this genus also contains several other species variously referred to as onions and cultivated for food, such as the japanese bunching onion (allium fistulosum), the tree onion (a. × proliferum), and the canada onion (allium canadense). the name wild onion is applied to a number of allium species, but a. cepa is exclusively known from cultivation. its ancestral wild original form is not known, although escapes from cultivation have become established in some regions. the onion is most frequently a biennial or a perennial plant, but is usually treated as an annual and harvested in its first growing season. the onion plant has a fan of hollow, bluish-green leaves and its bulb at the base of the plant begins to swell when a certain day-length is reached. the bulbs are composed of shortened, compressed, underground stems surrounded by fleshy modified scale (leaves) that envelop a central bud at the tip of the stem. in the autumn (or in spring, in the case of overwintering onions), the foliage dies down and the outer layers of the bulb become more dry and brittle. the crop is harvested and dried and the onions are ready for use or storage. the crop is prone to attack by a number of pests and diseases, particularly the onion fly, the onion eelworm, and various fungi which can cause rotting. some varieties of a. cepa, such as shallots and potato onions, produce multiple bulbs. onions are cultivated and used around the world. as a food item, they are usually served cooked, as a vegetable or part of a prepared savoury dish, but can also be eaten raw or used to make pickles or chutneys. they are pungent when chopped and contain certain chemical substances which may irritate the eyes.

Pizza

Pizza (italian: [ˈpittsa], neapolitan: [ˈpittsə]) is a dish of italian origin consisting of a usually round, flat base of leavened wheat-based dough topped with tomatoes, cheese, and often various other ingredients (such as various types of sausage, anchovies, mushrooms, onions, olives, vegetables, meat, ham, etc.), which is then baked at a high temperature, traditionally in a wood-fired oven. a small pizza is sometimes called a pizzetta. a person who makes pizza is known as a pizzaiolo. in italy, pizza served in a restaurant is presented unsliced, and is eaten with the use of a knife and fork. in casual settings, however, it is cut into wedges to be eaten while held in the hand. the term pizza was first recorded in the 10th century in a latin manuscript from the southern italian town of gaeta in lazio, on the border with campania. modern pizza was invented in naples, and the dish and its variants have since become popular in many countries. it has become one of the most popular foods in the world and a common fast food item in europe, north america and australasia; available at pizzerias (restaurants specializing in pizza), restaurants offering mediterranean cuisine, via pizza delivery, and as street food. various food companies sell ready-baked pizzas, which may be frozen, in grocery stores, to be reheated in a home oven. in 2017, the world pizza market was us$128 billion, and in the us it was $44 billion spread over 76,000 pizzerias. overall, 13% of the u.s. population aged 2 years and over consumed pizza on any given day.the associazione verace pizza napoletana (lit. true neapolitan pizza association) is a non-profit organization founded in 1984 with headquarters in naples that aims to promote traditional neapolitan pizza. in 2009, upon italy's request, neapolitan pizza was registered with the european union as a traditional speciality guaranteed dish, and in 2017 the art of its making was included on unesco's list of intangible cultural heritage.raffaele esposito is often considered to be the father of modern pizza.

Porgy

The sparidae are a family of fish in the order perciformes, commonly called sea breams and porgies. the sheepshead, scup, and red seabream are species in this family. most sparids are deep-bodied compressed fish with a small mouth separated by a broad space from the eye, a single dorsal fin with strong spines and soft rays, a short anal fin, long pointed pectoral fins and rather large firmly attached scales. they are found in shallow temperate and tropical waters and are bottom-dwelling carnivores. there are hermaphrodites in the sparidae. protogyny and protandry appear sporadically through this lineage of fish. simultaneous hermaphrodites and bi-directional hermaphrodites do not appear as much since sparidae are found in shallower waters. species of fish that express a hermaphroditic condition usually "lack a genetic hardwire", therefore ecological factors play a role in sex determination.most species possess grinding, molar-like teeth. some of the species, such as polysteganus undulosus, have been subject to overfishing, or exploitation beyond sustainable recovery.

Potato

The potato is a starchy tuber of the plant solanum tuberosum and is a root vegetable native to the americas. the plant is a perennial in the nightshade family solanaceae.wild potato species can be found from the southern united states to southern chile. the potato was originally believed to have been domesticated by native americans independently in multiple locations, but later genetic studies traced a single origin, in the area of present-day southern peru and extreme northwestern bolivia. potatoes were domesticated there approximately 7,000–10,000 years ago, from a species in the solanum brevicaule complex. in the andes region of south america, where the species is indigenous, some close relatives of the potato are cultivated. potatoes were introduced to europe from the americas in the second half of the 16th century by the spanish. today they are a staple food in many parts of the world and an integral part of much of the world's food supply. as of 2014, potatoes were the world's fourth-largest food crop after maize (corn), wheat, and rice. following millennia of selective breeding, there are now over 5,000 different types of potatoes. over 99% of potatoes presently cultivated worldwide descended from varieties that originated in the lowlands of south-central chile. the importance of the potato as a food source and culinary ingredient varies by region and is still changing. it remains an essential crop in europe, especially northern and eastern europe, where per capita production is still the highest in the world, while the most rapid expansion in production over the past few decades has occurred in southern and eastern asia, with china and india leading the world in overall production as of 2018. like the tomato, the potato is a nightshade in the genus solanum, and the vegetative and fruiting parts of the potato contain the toxin solanine which is dangerous for human consumption. normal potato tubers that have been grown and stored properly produce glycoalkaloids in amounts small enough to be negligible to human health, but, if green sections of the plant (namely sprouts and skins) are exposed to light, the tuber can accumulate a high enough concentration of glycoalkaloids to affect human health.
