Arctic char

The arctic char or arctic charr (salvelinus alpinus) is a cold-water fish in the family salmonidae, native to alpine lakes and arctic and subarctic coastal waters. its distribution is circumpolar north. it spawns in freshwater and populations can be lacustrine, riverine, or anadromous, where they return from the ocean to their fresh water birth rivers to spawn. no other freshwater fish is found as far north; it is, for instance, the only fish species in lake hazen on ellesmere island in the canadian arctic. it is one of the rarest fish species in great britain and ireland, found mainly in deep, cold, glacial lakes, and is at risk from acidification. in other parts of its range, such as the nordic countries, it is much more common, and is fished extensively. in siberia, it is known as golets (russian: голец) and it has been introduced in lakes where it sometimes threatens less hardy endemic species, such as the small-mouth char and the long-finned char in elgygytgyn lake. the arctic char is closely related to both salmon and lake trout, and has many characteristics of both. the fish is highly variable in colour, depending on the time of year and the environmental conditions of the lake where it lives. the appearance of arctic char differs between populations. the dorsal side of the arctic char is dark in its colour while the ventral varies from red, yellow, and white.arctic char has a distinct size dimorphism, dwarf and giant. dwarf arctic char weigh between 0.2 and 2.3 kg (7 oz and 5 lb 1 oz) and average a length of 8 cm (3 in), while giant arctic char weigh between 2.3 and 4.5 kg (5 lb 1 oz and 9 lb 15 oz) and average 40 cm (16 in) in length. individual fish can weigh 9 kg (20 lb) or more with record-sized fish having been taken by anglers in northern canada, where it is known as iqaluk or tariungmiutaq in inuktitut. generally, whole market-sized fish are between 1 and 2.5 kg (2 lb 3 oz and 5 lb 8 oz). male and female arctic char are the same size.the flesh colour can range from a bright red to a pale pink.

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.

Muenster

Muenster (english: or ) or munster is a semi-soft cheese from the united states. it is thought to be an imitation of the alsatian washed-rind munster cheese, introduced by german immigrants. it is distinct from the processed dairy food sweet muenster cheese. its name is not related to the german cities of münster in westphalia or in lower saxony or the irish province of munster, but rather to the city of munster in alsace, which was part of germany at the time the cheese was introduced in the us by german immigrants, but is currently in france. muenster is pale in color and smooth in texture with an orange rind. the cheese is made from pasteurized cow's milk. the rind's orange color is from annatto, a sweet and nutty seasoning used to add flavor and color to cheeses such as cheddar, colby, red leicester, and mimolette. muenster usually has a very mild flavor and smooth, soft texture. in some cases, when properly aged, it can develop a strong flavor with a pungent aroma. this cheese is commonly served as an appetizer. because it melts well, it is also often used in dishes such as grilled cheese sandwiches, tuna melts, quesadillas, cheeseburgers, macaroni and cheese, and pizza. the spelling "muenster" distinguishes the american cheese from munster cheese, which is made from unpasteurized cow's milk in the vosges mountains in alsace. the orange tinge of munster's rind occurs naturally as a byproduct of the cheese-making process. a regional variation is also produced in the franche-comté region in france. the name munster-géromé, used today in france, is a protected a.o.c. and is strictly regulated in its production technique and source geography.

Wild berries

A berry is a small, pulpy, and often edible fruit. typically, berries are juicy, rounded, brightly colored, sweet, sour or tart, and do not have a stone or pit, although many pips or seeds may be present. common examples are strawberries, raspberries, blueberries, blackberries, red currants, white currants and blackcurrants. in britain, soft fruit is a horticultural term for such fruits.in common usage, the term "berry" differs from the scientific or botanical definition of a fruit produced from the ovary of a single flower in which the outer layer of the ovary wall develops into an edible fleshy portion (pericarp). the botanical definition includes many fruits that are not commonly known or referred to as berries, such as grapes, tomatoes, cucumbers, eggplants, bananas, and chili peppers. fruits commonly considered berries but excluded by the botanical definition include strawberries, raspberries, and blackberries, which are aggregate fruits and mulberries, which are multiple fruits. watermelons and pumpkins are giant berries that fall into the category "pepos". a plant bearing berries is said to be bacciferous or baccate. berries are eaten worldwide and often used in jams, preserves, cakes, or pies. some berries are commercially important. the berry industry varies from country to country as do types of berries cultivated or growing in the wild. some berries such as raspberries and strawberries have been bred for hundreds of years and are distinct from their wild counterparts, while other berries, such as lingonberries and cloudberries, grow almost exclusively in the wild. while many berries are edible, some are poisonous to humans, such as deadly nightshade and pokeweed. others, such as the white mulberry, red mulberry, and elderberry, are poisonous when unripe, but are edible when ripe.
