Apple juice

Apple juice is a fruit juice made by the maceration and pressing of an apple. the resulting expelled juice may be further treated by enzymatic and centrifugal clarification to remove the starch and pectin, which holds fine particulate in suspension, and then pasteurized for packaging in glass, metal, or aseptic processing system containers, or further treated by dehydration processes to a concentrate. due to the complex and costly equipment required to extract and clarify juice from apples in large volume, apple juice is normally produced commercially. in the united states, unfiltered fresh apple juice is made by smaller operations in areas of high apple production, in the form of unclarified apple cider. apple juice is one of the most common fruit juices globally, with world production led by china, poland, the united states, and germany.

Breakfast

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.

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.

Cauliflower cheese

Cauliflower cheese is a traditional british dish. it can be eaten as a main course, for lunch or dinner, or as a side dish. cauliflower cheese consists of pieces of cauliflower lightly boiled and covered with a milk-based cheese sauce, for which a mature cheese (such as cheddar) tends to be preferred. a more elaborate white sauce or cheddar cheese sauce flavoured with english mustard and nutmeg may also be used. the dish is topped with grated cheese (sometimes mixed with bread crumbs) and baked in the oven to finish it.

Breakfast

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.

Cheesecake

Cheesecake is a sweet dessert consisting of one or more layers. the main, and thickest, layer consists of a mixture of a soft, fresh cheese (typically cottage cheese, cream cheese or ricotta), eggs, and sugar. if there is a bottom layer, it most often consists of a crust or base made from crushed cookies (or digestive biscuits), graham crackers, pastry, or sometimes sponge cake. cheesecake may be baked or unbaked (and is usually refrigerated). cheesecake is usually sweetened with sugar and may be flavored in different ways. vanilla, spices, lemon, chocolate, pumpkin, or other flavors may be added to the main cheese layer. additional flavors and visual appeal may be added by topping the finished dessert with fruit, whipped cream, nuts, cookies, fruit sauce, chocolate syrup, or other ingredients.

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.

Chips

French fries (north american english), chips (british english), finger chips (indian english), french-fried potatoes, or simply fries, are batonnet or allumette-cut deep-fried potatoes, disputed origin from belgium and france. they are prepared by cutting potatoes into even strips, drying them, and frying them, usually in a deep fryer. pre-cut, blanched, and frozen russet potatoes are widely used, and sometimes baked in a regular or convection oven; air fryers are small convection ovens marketed for frying potatoes. french fries are served hot, either soft or crispy, and are generally eaten as part of lunch or dinner or by themselves as a snack, and they commonly appear on the menus of diners, fast food restaurants, pubs, and bars. they are often salted and may be served with ketchup, vinegar, mayonnaise, tomato sauce, or other local specialities. fries can be topped more heavily, as in the dishes of poutine or chili cheese fries. french fries can be made from sweet potatoes instead of potatoes. a baked variant, oven fries, uses less or no oil.

Chips cheese and gravy

Poutine (quebec french: [put͡sɪn] (listen)) is a dish of french fries and cheese curds topped with a brown gravy. it emerged in quebec, in the late 1950s in the centre-du-québec region, though its exact origins are uncertain and there are several competing claims regarding its invention. for many years it was perceived negatively and mocked, and even used by some to stigmatize quebec society. poutine later became celebrated as a symbol of québécois culture and the province of quebec. it has long been associated with quebec cuisine, and its rise in prominence has led to popularity throughout the rest of canada, in the northern united states, and internationally. annual poutine celebrations occur in montreal, quebec city, and drummondville, as well as toronto, ottawa, new hampshire, and chicago. it has been called "canada's national dish", though some believe this labelling represents cultural appropriation of the québécois or quebec's national identity. many variations on the original recipe are popular, leading some to suggest that poutine has emerged as a new dish classification in its own right, as with sandwiches and dumplings.

Chutney

A chutney is a spread in the cuisines of the indian subcontinent. chutneys are made in a wide variety of forms, such as a tomato relish, a ground peanut garnish, yogurt or curd, cucumber, spicy coconut, spicy onion or mint dipping sauce. a common variant in anglo-indian cuisine uses a tart fruit such as sharp apples, rhubarb or damson pickle made milder by an equal weight of sugar (usually demerara, turbinado or brown sugar to replace jaggery in some indian sweet chutneys). vinegar was added to the recipe for english-style chutney that traditionally aims to give a long shelf life so that autumn fruit can be preserved for use throughout the year (as are jams, jellies and pickles) or else to be sold as a commercial product. indian pickles use mustard oil as a pickling agent, but anglo-indian style chutney uses malt or cider vinegar which produces a milder product that in western cuisine is often eaten with hard cheese or with cold meats and fowl, typically in cold pub lunches.

Cider

Cider ( sy-dər) is an alcoholic beverage made from the fermented juice of apples. cider is widely available in the united kingdom (particularly in the west country) and the republic of ireland. the uk has the world's highest per capita consumption, as well as the largest cider-producing companies. ciders from the south west of england are generally stronger. cider is also popular in many commonwealth countries, such as india, canada, australia, and new zealand. as well as the uk and its former colonies, cider is popular in portugal (mainly in minho and madeira), france (particularly normandy and brittany), northern italy (piedmont and friuli), and northern spain (especially the principality of asturias and the basque country). central europe also has its own types of cider with rhineland-palatinate and hesse producing a particularly tart version known as apfelwein. in the u.s., varieties of fermented cider are often called hard cider to distinguish alcoholic cider from non-alcoholic apple cider or "sweet cider", also made from apples. in canada, cider cannot contain less than 2.5% or over 13% absolute alcohol by volume.the juice of most varieties of apple, including crab apples, can be used to make cider, but cider apples are best. the addition of sugar or extra fruit before a second fermentation increases the ethanol content of the resulting beverage. cider alcohol content varies from 1.2% to 8.5% abv or more in traditional english ciders, and 3.5% to 12% in continental ciders. in uk law, it must contain at least 35% apple juice (fresh or from concentrate), although camra (the campaign for real ale) says that "real cider" must be at least 90% fresh apple juice. in the us, there is a 50% minimum. in france, cider must be made solely from apples.in 2014, a study found that a 1-us-pint (470 ml) bottle of mass-market cider contained five teaspoons (20.5 g) of sugar, nearly the amount the who recommends as an adult's daily allowance of added sugar, and 5–10 times the amount of sugar in lager or ale.perry is a similar product to cider made from fermented pear juice. when distilled, cider turns into fruit brandy.

Cod

Cod is the common name for the demersal fish genus gadus, belonging to the family gadidae. cod is also used as part of the common name for a number of other fish species, and one species that belongs to genus gadus is commonly not called cod (alaska pollock, gadus chalcogrammus). the two most common species of cod are the atlantic cod (gadus morhua), which lives in the colder waters and deeper sea regions throughout the north atlantic, and the pacific cod (gadus macrocephalus), found in both eastern and western regions of the northern pacific. gadus morhua was named by linnaeus in 1758. (however, g. morhua callarias, a low-salinity, nonmigratory race restricted to parts of the baltic, was originally described as gadus callarias by linnaeus.) cod is popular as a food with a mild flavour and a dense, flaky, white flesh. cod livers are processed to make cod liver oil, a common source of vitamin a, vitamin d, vitamin e, and omega-3 fatty acids (epa and dha). young atlantic cod or haddock prepared in strips for cooking is called scrod. in the united kingdom, atlantic cod is one of the most common ingredients in fish and chips, along with haddock and plaice.

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.

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.

A fishcake (sometimes written as fish cake) is a culinary dish consisting of filleted fish or other seafood minced or ground, mixed with a starchy ingredient, and fried until golden. asian-style fishcakes usually contain fish with salt, water, flour and egg. they can include a combination of fish paste and surimi. european-style fishcakes are similar to a croquette, consisting of filleted fish or other seafood with potato patty, sometimes coated in breadcrumbs or batter. fishcakes as defined in the oxford dictionary of food and nutrition are chopped or minced fish mixed with potato, egg and flour with seasonings of onions, peppers and sometimes herbs.the fishcake has been seen as a way of using up leftovers that might otherwise be thrown away. in mrs beeton's 19th century publication book of household management, her recipe for fishcakes calls for "leftover fish" and "cold potatoes". more modern recipes have added to the dish, suggesting ingredients such as smoked salmon and vegetables.

Fruit juice

Juice is a drink made from the extraction or pressing of the natural liquid contained in fruit and vegetables. it can also refer to liquids that are flavored with concentrate or other biological food sources, such as meat or seafood, such as clam juice. juice is commonly consumed as a beverage or used as an ingredient or flavoring in foods or other beverages, as for smoothies. juice emerged as a popular beverage choice after the development of pasteurization methods enabled its preservation without using fermentation (which is used in wine production). the largest fruit juice consumers are new zealand (nearly a cup, or 8 ounces, each day) and colombia (more than three quarters of a cup each day). fruit juice consumption on average increases with country income level.

Gammon

Gammon is the hind leg of pork after it has been cured by dry-salting or brining, which may or may not be smoked. strictly speaking, a gammon is the bottom end of a whole side of bacon (which includes the back leg), ham is just the back leg cured on its own. like bacon, it must be cooked before it can be eaten; in that sense gammon is comparable to fresh pork meat, and different from dry-cured ham like prosciutto. the term is mostly used in the united kingdom and ireland, while other dialects of english largely make no distinction between gammon and ham. ham hock, gammon hock, or knuckle, is the back end of the joint, and contains more connective tissue and sinew.in the united kingdom and ireland, joints of cooked gammon are often served at christmas. it can be found in most supermarkets either as a full joint or sliced into steaks, which can then be cooked via pan frying in a manner similar to bacon. the word 'gammon' is derived from the middle english word for 'ham', gambon, which is attested since the early 15th century and derived from old north french gambon, itself derived from old french jambon, which is identical to the modern french word for 'ham'. old french jambon is attested since the 13th century and is derived from old french jambe (gambe in old north french) which in turn is derived from the late latin gamba, meaning 'leg/hock of a horse/animal', which can ultimately be traced to greek kampe meaning 'a bending/a joint', which is from proto-indo-european *kamp- (“to bend; crooked”). in some english dialects a similarly derived 'gambol' refers to a 'leg'.

Gelato

Gelato (italian pronunciation: [dʒeˈlaːto]; lit. 'frozen') is the common word in italian for all kinds of ice cream. in english, it specifically refers to a frozen dessert of italian origin. artisanal gelato in italy generally contains 6%–9% butterfat, which is lower than other styles of frozen dessert. gelato typically contains 35% air and more flavoring than other kinds of frozen desserts, giving it a density and richness that distinguishes it from other ice creams.

Drink

Gin

Gin is a distilled alcoholic drink that derives its predominant flavour from juniper berries (juniperus communis).gin originated as a medicinal liquor made by monks and alchemists across europe, particularly in southern italy (salerno), flanders and the netherlands, to provide aqua vita from distillates of grapes and grains. it then became an object of commerce in the spirits industry. gin became popular in england after the introduction of jenever, a dutch and belgian liquor that was originally a medicine. although this development had been taking place since the early 17th century, gin became widespread after the 1688 glorious revolution led by william of orange and subsequent import restrictions on french brandy. gin subsequently emerged as the national alcoholic drink of england. gin today is produced in different ways from a wide range of herbal ingredients, giving rise to a number of distinct styles and brands. after juniper, gin tends to be flavoured with botanical/herbal, spice, floral or fruit flavours or often a combination. it is commonly consumed mixed with tonic water in a gin and tonic. gin is also often used as a base spirit to produce flavoured, gin-based liqueurs, for example sloe gin, traditionally produced by the addition of fruit, flavourings and sugar.

Goat

Goat meat or goat's meat is the meat of the domestic goat (capra aegagrus hircus). the common name for goat meat is simply "goat", though meat from adult goats is referred to as chevon, while that from young goats can be called capretto (it.), cabrito (sp. and por.) or kid. in south asian and caribbean cuisine, mutton commonly means goat meat. in south asia, where mutton curry is popular, "mutton" is used for both goat and lamb meat. the culinary name "chevon", a blend of chèvre 'goat' and mouton 'sheep', was coined in 1922 and selected by a trade association; it was adopted by the united states department of agriculture in 1928.: 19  according to market research, consumers in the united states prefer "chevon" to "goat" "cabrito", a word of spanish and portuguese origin, refers specifically to the meat of a young, milk-fed goat. it is also known as chivo.

Herring

Herring are forage fish, mostly belonging to the family of clupeidae. herring often move in large schools around fishing banks and near the coast, found particularly in shallow, temperate waters of the north pacific and north atlantic oceans, including the baltic sea, as well as off the west coast of south america. three species of clupea (the type genus of the herring family clupeidae) are recognised, and provide about 90% of all herrings captured in fisheries. the most abundant of all is the atlantic herring, providing over half of all herring capture. fish called herring are also found in the arabian sea, indian ocean, and bay of bengal. herring played a pivotal role in the history of marine fisheries in europe, and early in the 20th century, their study was fundamental to the evolution of fisheries science. these oily fish also have a long history as an important food fish, and are often salted, smoked, or pickled. herring are also known as "silver darlings".

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.

Isle of Man Manx Loaghtan Lamb

The manx loaghtan ( loch-tan) is a rare breed of sheep (ovis aries) native to the isle of man. it is sometimes spelled as loaghtyn or loghtan. the sheep have dark brown wool and usually four or occasionally six horns.the manx loaghtan is one of the northern european short-tailed sheep breeds, and descends from the primitive sheep once found throughout scotland, the hebrides, and shetland islands. the word loaghtan comes from the manx words lugh dhoan, which mean mouse-brown and describe the colour of the sheep. this breed is primarily raised for its meat, which some consider a delicacy. in 2008, the meat received eu recognition and protection under the protected designation of origin scheme, which requires products with a regional name to originate in the named region.the rare breeds survival trust has characterised the loaghtan as "at risk". by the 1950s there were only 43 surviving specimens. manx national heritage developed two healthy flocks. these have given rise to commercial flocks on the isle of man, united kingdom and jersey. even so, today there are still fewer than 1,500 registered breeding females.

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.

Drink

Liquor

Liquor (or a spirit) is an alcoholic drink produced by distillation of grains, fruits, vegetables, or sugar, that have already gone through alcoholic fermentation. other terms for liquor include: spirit drink, distilled beverage or hard liquor. the distillation process concentrates the liquid to increase its alcohol by volume. as liquors contain significantly more alcohol (ethanol) than other alcoholic drinks, they are considered "harder" – in north america, the term hard liquor is sometimes used to distinguish distilled alcoholic drinks from non-distilled ones, whereas the term spirits is used in the uk. examples of liquors include brandy, vodka, absinthe, gin, rum, tequila, and whisky. like other alcoholic drinks, liquor is typically consumed for the psychoactive effects of alcohol. liquor may be consumed on its own (“neat”), typically in small amounts. in undiluted form, distilled beverages are often slightly sweet, bitter, and typically impart a burning mouthfeel, with a strong odor from the alcohol; the exact flavor varies between different varieties of liquor and the different impurities they impart. liquor is also frequently enjoyed in diluted form, as flavored liquor or as part of a mixed drink; with cocktails being a common category of beverage that utilize liquor. acute liquor consumption causes severe alcohol intoxication, or alcohol poisoning, which can be fatal. consistent consumption of liquor over time correlates with higher mortality and other harmful health effects, even compared to other alcoholic beverages.

Marmalade is a fruit preserve made from the juice and peel of citrus fruits boiled with sugar and water. the well-known version is made from bitter orange. it is also made from lemons, limes, grapefruits, mandarins, sweet oranges, bergamots, and other citrus fruits, or a combination. citrus is the most typical choice of fruit for marmalade, though historically the term has often been used for non-citrus preserves.the preferred citrus fruit for marmalade production is the spanish seville or bitter orange, citrus aurantium var. aurantium, prized for its high pectin content, which sets readily to the thick consistency expected of marmalade. the peel imparts a bitter taste. the word "marmalade" is borrowed from the portuguese marmelada, from marmelo 'quince'. unlike jam, a large quantity of water is added to the fruit in a marmalade, the extra liquid being set by the high pectin content of the fruit. in this respect it is like a jelly, but whereas the fruit pulp and peel is strained out of a jelly to give it its characteristic clarity, it is retained in a marmalade.

Mince pie

A mince pie (also mincemeat pie in new england, and fruit mince pie in australia and new zealand) is a sweet pie of english origin filled with mincemeat, a mixture of fruit and spices. it is traditionally served during the christmas season in much of the english-speaking world. its ingredients are traceable to the 13th century, when returning european crusaders brought with them middle eastern recipes containing meats, fruits, and spices; these contained the christian symbolism of representing the gifts delivered to jesus by the biblical magi. mince pies, at christmastide, were traditionally shaped in an oblong shape, to resemble a manger and were often topped with a depiction of the christ child.the early mince pie was known by several names, including "mutton pie", "shrid pie" and "christmas pie". typically its ingredients were a mixture of minced meat, suet, a range of fruits, and spices such as cinnamon, cloves and nutmeg. served around christmas, the savoury christmas pie (as it became known) was associated with supposed catholic "idolatry" and during the english civil war was frowned on by the puritan authorities. nevertheless, the tradition of eating christmas pie in december continued through to the victorian era, although by then its recipe had become sweeter and its size markedly reduced from the large oblong shape once observed. today the mince pie, usually made without meat (but often including suet or other animal fats), remains a popular seasonal treat enjoyed by many across the united kingdom and ireland.

Pasty

A pasty () is a british baked pastry, a traditional variety of which is particularly associated with cornwall, south west england but has spread all over the british isles. it is made by placing an uncooked filling, typically meat and vegetables, on one half of a flat shortcrust pastry circle, folding the pastry in half to wrap the filling in a semicircle and crimping the curved edge to form a seal before baking. the traditional cornish pasty, which since 2011 has had protected geographical indication (pgi) status in europe, is filled with beef, sliced or diced potato, swede (also known as yellow turnip or rutabaga – referred to in cornwall and other parts of the west country as turnip) and onion, seasoned with salt and pepper, and baked. today, the pasty is the food most associated with cornwall. it is a traditional dish and accounts for 6% of the cornish food economy. pasties with many different fillings are made, and some shops specialise in selling pasties. the origins of the pasty are unclear, though there are many references to them throughout historical documents and fiction. the pasty is now popular worldwide because of the spread of cornish miners and sailors from across cornwall, and variations can be found in australia, mexico, the united states, ulster and elsewhere. pasties resemble turnovers from many other cuisines and cultures, including the bridie in scotland, empanada in spanish-speaking countries, pirog in eastern europe, samosa in india, curry puff in south east asia, and shaobing in china.

Salad

A salad is a dish consisting of mixed, mostly natural ingredients with at least one raw ingredient. they are often dressed, and typically served at room temperature or chilled, though some can be served warm. garden salads use a base of leafy greens such as lettuce, arugula/rocket, kale or spinach; they are common enough that the word salad alone often refers specifically to garden salads. other types include bean salad, tuna salad, fattoush, greek salad (vegetable-based, but without leafy greens), and sōmen salad (a noodle-based salad). salads may be served at any point during a meal: appetizer salads—light, smaller-portion salads served as the first course of the meal side salads—to accompany the main course as a side dish; examples include potato salad and coleslaw main course salads—usually containing a portion of one or more high-protein foods, such as meat, fish, eggs, legumes, or cheese dessert salads—sweet salads containing fruit, gelatin, sweeteners or whipped creamwhen a sauce is used to flavor a salad, it is generally called a salad dressing; most salad dressings are based on either a mixture of oil and vinegar or a creamy dairy base.

Salmon

Salmon () is the common name for several species of ray-finned fish in the family salmonidae. other fish in the same family include trout, char, grayling, and whitefish. salmon are native to tributaries of the north atlantic (genus salmo) and pacific ocean (genus oncorhynchus). many species of salmon have been introduced into non-native environments such as the great lakes of north america and patagonia in south america. salmon are intensively farmed in many parts of the world.typically, salmon are anadromous: they hatch in fresh water, migrate to the ocean, then return to fresh water to reproduce. however, populations of several species are restricted to fresh water throughout their lives. folklore has it that the fish return to the exact spot where they hatched to spawn. tracking studies have shown this to be mostly true. a portion of a returning salmon run may stray and spawn in different freshwater systems; the percent of straying depends on the species of salmon. homing behavior has been shown to depend on olfactory memory.

Sandwich

A sandwich is a food typically consisting of vegetables, sliced cheese or meat, placed on or between slices of bread, or more generally any dish wherein bread serves as a container or wrapper for another food type. the sandwich began as a portable, convenient finger food in the western world, though over time it has become prevalent worldwide. in the 21st century there has been considerable debate over the precise definition of sandwich; and specifically whether a hot dog or open sandwich can be categorized as such. in the united states, the department of agriculture and the food and drug administration are the responsible agencies. the usda uses the definition, "at least 35% cooked meat and no more than 50% bread" for closed sandwiches, and "at least 50% cooked meat" for open sandwiches. in britain, the british sandwich association defines a sandwich as "any form of bread with a filling, generally assembled cold", a definition which includes wraps and bagels, but excludes dishes assembled and served hot, such as burgers.sandwiches are a popular type of lunch food, taken to work, school, or picnics to be eaten as part of a packed lunch. the bread may be plain or be coated with condiments, such as mayonnaise or mustard, to enhance its flavour and texture. as well as being homemade, sandwiches are also widely sold in various retail outlets and can be served hot or cold. there are both savoury sandwiches, such as deli meat sandwiches, and sweet sandwiches, such as a peanut butter and jelly sandwich. the sandwich is named after its supposed inventor, john montagu, 4th earl of sandwich. the wall street journal has described it as britain's "biggest contribution to gastronomy".

Sausage

A sausage is a type of meat product usually made from ground meat—often pork, beef, or poultry—along with salt, spices and other flavourings. other ingredients, such as grains or breadcrumbs may be included as fillers or extenders. when used as an adjective, the word sausage can refer to the loose sausage meat, which can be formed into patties or stuffed into a skin. when referred to as "a sausage", the product is usually cylindrical and encased in a skin. typically, a sausage is formed in a casing traditionally made from intestine, but sometimes from synthetic materials. sausages that are sold raw are cooked in many ways, including pan-frying, broiling and barbecuing. some sausages are cooked during processing, and the casing may then be removed. sausage-making is a traditional food preservation technique. sausages may be preserved by curing, drying (often in association with fermentation or culturing, which can contribute to preservation), smoking, or freezing. some cured or smoked sausages can be stored without refrigeration. most fresh sausages must be refrigerated or frozen until they are cooked. sausages are made in a wide range of national and regional varieties, which differ by the types of meats that are used, the flavouring or spicing ingredients (garlic, peppers, wine, etc.), and the manner of preparation. in the 21st century, vegetarian and vegan varieties of sausage which completely substitute plant-based ingredients for meat have become much more widely available and consumed.
