Bush tomato

Bush tomatoes are the fruit or entire plants of certain nightshade (solanum) species native to the more arid parts of australia. while they are quite closely related to tomatoes (solanum lycopersicum), they might be even closer relatives of the eggplant (s. melongena), which they resemble in many details. there are 94 (mostly perennial) natives and 31 (mostly annual) introduced species in australia.bush tomato plants are small shrubs whose growth is encouraged by fire and disturbance.the fruit of a number of species have been used as food sources by aboriginal people in the drier areas of australia.a number of solanum species contain significant levels of solanine and as such are highly poisonous. it is strongly recommended that people unfamiliar with the plant do not experiment with the different species, as differentiating between them can often be difficult. some of the edible species are: solanum aviculare kangaroo apple solanum centrale, also known as desert raisin, bush raisin or bush sultana, or by the native name kutjera solanum chippendalei bush tomato, named after taxonomic botanist george chippendale solanum diversiflorum bush tomato, karlumbu, pilirta, wamurla solanum ellipticum potato bush, very similar to solanum quadriloculatum which is poisonous. solanum laciniatum kangaroo apple. solanum orbiculatum round-leaved solanum solanum phlomoides wild tomato.in 1859, aboriginal people were observed burning off the outer skin of s. aviculare as the raw state would blister their mouths. s. chippendalei is consumed by first splitting the fruit, scraping the centre out and eating the outer flesh as the seeds and surrounding placenta are bitter. s. diversiflorum is roasted before being eaten or dried. fruit of s.orbiculatum is edible, but the fruit of the large leafed form may be bitter. fruit of s. phlomoides appears to be edible after the removal of seeds and roasting or sundrying.solanum aviculare contains solasodine, a steroid used in the manufacture of oral contraceptives. solanum plastisexum, a rare species first described in 2019, is distinguished among plants for exhibiting "breeding system fluidity" – that is, it has no stable sexual expression.

Coconut pie

Buko pie, sometimes anglicized as coconut pie, is a traditional filipino baked young coconut (malauhog) custard pie. it is considered a specialty in the city of los baños, laguna located on the island of luzon.buko pie is made with young coconuts (buko in tagalog), and uses sweetened condensed milk, which makes it denser than cream-based custard pies. there are also variations of the pie, which are similar but use slightly different ingredients, such as macapuno pie, that uses macapuno, special type of coconut that is thick and sticky.the pie was originally a delicacy only available in the philippines, but blast freezing technology has allowed buko pie-makers the ability to export. as it has become easier to transport and more accessible around the world, people are able to buy it as a pasalubong or homecoming present after having visited the philippines. buko pie is traditionally plain, but nowadays flavorings such as pandan, vanilla, or almond essences are used. buko pie is different from the american coconut cream pie, as it is and has neither cream in the coconut custard filling nor meringue swirls on top of the baked coconut custard.

Kouign amann

Kouign-amann (pronounced [ˌkwiɲ aˈmãn]; pl. kouignoù-amann) is a sweet breton cake, made with laminated dough. it is a round multi-layered cake, originally made with bread dough (nowadays sometimes viennoiserie dough), containing layers of butter and incorporated sugar, similar in fashion to puff pastry, albeit with fewer layers. the cake is slowly baked until the sugar caramelizes and the recipe's butter (in fact the steam of the 20 percent water in the butter) expands the dough, resulting in its layered structure. a smaller version “kouignette” is similar to a muffin-shaped, caramelized croissant. a specialty of the town of douarnenez in finistère, brittany, where it originated around 1860, the pastry is attributed to yves-rené scordia (1828–1878).the name comes from the breton language words for cake (kouign) and butter (amann), and in 2011 the new york times described the kouign-amann as "the fattiest pastry in all of europe."

Nice biscuit

A nice biscuit (pronounced , like the name of the french city) is a plain or coconut-flavoured biscuit. it is thin, rectangular in shape, with rounded bumps on the edges, and lightly covered with a scattering of large sugar crystals, often with the word "nice" imprinted on top in sans-serif capital letters. it is often served as an accompaniment to hot drinks, such as tea. the name probably derives from the town of nice in the south of france. 1929 editions of the hull daily mail carried an advertisement for huntley & palmers nice biscuits using the phrase "delightful as the town after which they are named", indicating that by this point their manufacturers intended the public to associate the biscuit with the french city, whether or not that had been the intended pronunciation.a nice biscuit was listed in an army and navy co-operative society price list in 1895. the british company huntley & palmers made a nice biscuit as early as 1904. the australian company arnott's biscuits also claims to have invented the nice biscuit. nice biscuits are sold by various companies under different brand names in most of the british commonwealth as well as other countries. the dutch biscuit maker verkade claims its nizza version (introduced in 1910) is the netherlands' "most beloved cookie", and in 2010 celebrated the company's 125th anniversary with the release of a new cinnamon variant.

Shanklish

Shanklish (arabic: شنكليش shanklīsh or شنغليش shanghlīsh), also known as chancliche, shinklish, shankleesh, sorke, or sürke, is a type of cow's milk or sheep milk cheese in levantine cuisine. shanklish is typically formed into balls of approximately 6 cm diameter, often covered in za'atar and aleppo pepper, and then aged and dried.the most common spice is thyme, thus giving the cheese its appearance somewhat resembling a rum ball. shanklish is also sold in much smaller balls or unformed. in egypt, shanklish is made by fermenting areesh cheese, usually called mesh. shanklish varies greatly in its texture and flavour. fresh cheeses have a soft texture and mild flavour; those dried and aged for a longer period become progressively harder and can acquire an extremely pungent odour and flavour. to make spicier cheeses, spices such as aniseed and chilli can be mixed in before the cheese is formed into balls. spicy shanklish are often covered in chilli, especially in syria, thus appear red. shanklish from the syrian coastal plain around tartus and the adjoining northern lebanese region of akkar are considered particularly delectable; these tend to be hard, with a clean strong flavour and near-white colour. shanklish is generally eaten with finely-chopped tomato, onion, and olive oil in a dish called shʿifurah or jʿifurah; and often accompanied by araq. it is a common meze dish. shanklish is also mashed up with eggs or crushed in a pita with cucumbers, mint, and olive oil for breakfast.
