Apple cider

Apple cider (also called sweet cider, soft cider, or simply cider) is the name used in the united states and canada for an unfiltered, unsweetened, non-alcoholic beverage made from apples. though typically referred to simply as "cider" in the united states, it is not to be confused with the alcoholic beverage known as cider in other places, which is called "hard cider" in the us. outside of the united states and canada, it is commonly referred to as cloudy apple juice to distinguish it from clearer, filtered apple juice and hard cider. fresh liquid cider is extracted from the whole apple itself, including the apple core, trimmings from apples, and oddly sized or shaped “imperfect” apples, or apple culls. fresh cider is opaque due to fine apple particles in suspension and generally tangier than commercially cooked and filtered apple juice, but this depends somewhat on the variety of apples used. cider is sometimes pasteurized or exposed to uv light to kill bacteria and extend its shelf life, but traditional raw untreated cider is still common. some companies have begun adding preservatives and boiling cider, so that it can be shelf stable and stored without refrigeration. in either form, apple cider is seasonally produced in autumn. it is traditionally served throughout autumn on the halloween, thanksgiving, christmas, and various new year's eve holidays, sometimes heated and mulled.

Apple dumpling

An apple dumpling is a baked or boiled pastry-wrapped apple. to prepare apple dumplings, apples are peeled, cored and sometimes quartered and placed on a portion of dough. the hole from the core may be filled with cinnamon, butter and sugar and sometimes dried fruit such as raisins, sultanas, or currants. the dough is folded over the apples and sealed. sometimes a spiced sauce is poured over the dumplings which are then baked until tender; the sugar and butter create a sweet sauce. apple dumplings can be served hot, cold, or room temperature for breakfast, dessert, or as a main dish.

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.

Bison burger

Bison are large bovines in the genus bison within the tribe bovini. two extant species and numerous extinct species are recognised. of the two surviving species, the american bison, b. bison, found only in north america, is the more numerous. although colloquially referred to as a buffalo in the united states and canada, it is only distantly related to the true buffalo. the north american species is composed of two subspecies, the plains bison, b. b. bison, and the wood bison, b. b. athabascae, which is the namesake of wood buffalo national park in canada. a third subspecies, the eastern bison (b. b. pennsylvanicus) is no longer considered a valid taxon, being a junior synonym of b. b. bison. references to "woods bison" or "wood bison" from the eastern united states refer to this subspecies, not b. b. athabascae, which was not found in the region. the european bison, b. bonasus, or wisent, or zubr, is found in europe and the caucasus, reintroduced after being extinct in the wild. while bison species have been traditionally classified in their own genus, modern genetics indicates that they are nested within the genus bos, which includes, among others, cattle, yaks and gaur, being most closely related to yaks. bison are sometimes bred with domestic cattle and produce offspring called beefalo or żubroń.

Boiled potatoes

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.

Chicken and dumplings

Chicken and dumplings is a soup that consists of a chicken cooked in water, with the resulting chicken broth being used to cook the dumplings by boiling. a dumpling—in this context—is a biscuit dough, which is a mixture of flour, shortening, and liquid (water, milk, buttermilk, or chicken stock). the dumplings are either rolled out flat, dropped, or formed into a ball. it is a popular comfort food dish, commonly found in the southern and midwestern united states, that is also attributed to being a french canadian meal that originated during the great depression. some sources say that chicken and dumplings originated in the southern united states during the antebellum era and was considered a mainstay during harsh economic times. one of the earliest versions of the recipe was cornmeal dumplings cooked with turnip greens. chicken and dumplings as a dish is prepared with a combination of simmered chicken meat, broth produced by simmering the chicken, multiple dumplings, and salt and pepper for seasoning. sometimes finely chopped vegetables, such as carrots and celery, are added to the broth, and herbs such as dill, parsley, thyme, or chives are added to the dumpling dough.

Chocolate mousse cake

A mousse (; french: [mus]; "foam") is a soft prepared food that incorporates air bubbles to give it a light and airy texture. it can range from light and fluffy to creamy and thick, depending on preparation techniques. a mousse may be sweet or savory.sweet mousses are typically made with whipped egg whites, whipped cream, or both, and flavored with one or more of chocolate, coffee, caramel, puréed fruits, or various herbs and spices, such as mint or vanilla. in the case of some chocolate mousses, egg yolks are often stirred into melted chocolate to give the final product a richer mouthfeel. mousses are also typically chilled before being served, which gives them a denser texture. additionally, mousses are often frozen into silicone molds and unmolded to give the mousse a defined shape. sweetened mousse is served as a dessert, or used as an airy cake filling. it is sometimes stabilized with gelatin.savory mousses can be made from meat, fish, shellfish, foie gras, cheese, or vegetables. hot mousses often get their light texture from the addition of beaten egg whites.

Cream cheese

Cream cheese is a soft, usually mild-tasting fresh cheese made from milk and cream. stabilizers such as carob bean gum and carrageenan are often added in industrial production.the u.s. food and drug administration defines cream cheese as containing at least 33% milk fat with a moisture content of not more than 55%, and a ph range of 4.4 to 4.9. similarly, under canadian food and drug regulations cream cheese must contain at least 30% milk fat and a maximum of 55% moisture. in other countries, it is defined differently and may need a considerably higher fat content.cream cheese is not naturally matured and is meant to be consumed fresh, so it differs from other soft cheeses such as brie and neufchâtel. it is more comparable in taste, texture, and production methods to boursin and mascarpone.

Duxelles

Duxelles (french: [dyksɛl]) is a finely chopped (minced) mixture of mushrooms or mushroom stems, onions or shallots, herbs such as thyme or parsley, and black pepper, sautéed in butter and reduced to a paste. cream is sometimes used as well, and some recipes add a dash of madeira or sherry. it is a basic preparation used in stuffings and sauces (notably, beef wellington) or as a garnish. duxelles can also be filled into a pocket of raw pastry and baked as a savory tart.duxelles is made with any cultivated or wild mushroom, depending on the recipe. duxelles made with wild porcini mushrooms will have a much stronger flavor than those made with white or brown mushrooms. duxelles is said to have been created by the 17th-century french chef françois pierre la varenne (1615–1678) and to have been named after his employer, nicolas chalon du blé, marquis d'uxelles, maréchal de france. many classical cookbooks define duxelles as dehydrated fungi, used as stuffings and pastry fillings. according to auguste escoffier, the mushrooms were dehydrated in order to enhance flavor and minimize water content. when fresh mushrooms are cooked, they let off enormous amounts of vapor in relation to their size. fresh mushrooms used as stuffings or pastry fillings could therefore build up pressure inside the dish or pastry, causing it to crack or even explode.

Drink

Ice wine

Ice wine (or icewine; german: eiswein) is a type of dessert wine produced from grapes that have been frozen while still on the vine. the sugars and other dissolved solids do not freeze, but the water does, allowing for a more concentrated grape juice to develop. the grapes' must is then pressed from the frozen grapes, resulting in a smaller amount of more concentrated, very sweet juice. with ice wines, the freezing happens before the fermentation, not afterwards. unlike the grapes from which other dessert wines are made, such as sauternes, tokaji, or trockenbeerenauslese, ice wine grapes should not be affected by botrytis cinerea or noble rot, at least not to any great degree. only healthy grapes keep in good shape until the opportunity arises for an ice wine harvest, which in extreme cases can occur after the new year, on a northern hemisphere calendar. this gives ice wine its characteristic refreshing sweetness balanced by high acidity. when the grapes are free of botrytis, they are said to come in "clean". ice wine production is risky (the frost may not come at all before the grapes rot or are otherwise lost) and requires the availability of a large enough labour force to pick the whole crop within a few hours, at a moment's notice, on the first morning that is cold enough. this results in relatively small amounts of ice wine being made worldwide, making ice wines generally expensive. ice wine production is limited to that minority of the world's wine-growing regions where the necessary cold temperatures can be expected to be reached with some regularity. canada is the world's largest producer of ice wines, producing a greater volume of ice wine than all other countries combined, followed by germany.

Breakfast

Maple syrup

Maple syrup is a syrup usually made from the xylem sap of sugar maple, red maple, or black maple trees, although it can also be made from other maple species. in cold climates, these trees store starch in their trunks and roots before winter; the starch is then converted to sugar that rises in the sap in late winter and early spring. maple trees are tapped by drilling holes into their trunks and collecting the sap, which is processed by heating to evaporate much of the water, leaving the concentrated syrup. maple syrup was first made and used by the indigenous peoples of north america. the practice was adopted by european settlers, who gradually changed production methods. technological improvements in the 1970s further refined syrup processing. virtually all of the world's maple syrup is produced in canada and the united states. the canadian province of quebec is the largest producer, responsible for 70 percent of the world's output; canadian exports of maple syrup in 2016 were c$487 million (about us$360 million), with quebec accounting for some 90 percent of this total.maple syrup is graded according to the canada, united states, or vermont scales based on its density and translucency. sucrose is the most prevalent sugar in maple syrup. in canada, syrups must be made exclusively from maple sap to qualify as maple syrup and must also be at least 66 percent sugar. in the united states, a syrup must be made almost entirely from maple sap to be labelled as "maple", though states such as vermont and new york have more restrictive definitions. maple syrup is often used as a condiment for pancakes, waffles, french toast, oatmeal, or porridge. it is also used as an ingredient in baking and as a sweetener or flavouring agent. culinary experts have praised its unique flavour, although the chemistry responsible is not fully understood.

Spruce

Spruce beer is a beverage flavored with the buds, needles, or essence of spruce trees. spruce beer can refer to either alcoholic or non-alcoholic beverages. a number of flavors are associated with spruce-flavored beverages, ranging from floral, citrus, and fruity, to cola-like flavors to resinous and piney. this diversity in flavor likely comes from the choice of spruce species, the season in which the needles are harvested, and the manner of preparation. using evergreen needles to create beverages originated with the indigenous peoples of north america who used the drink as a cure for scurvy during the winter months when fresh fruits were not available, as the fresh shoots of many spruces and pines are a natural source of vitamin c. it may also have been brewed in scandinavia prior to european contact with the americas, but most french and british explorers were ignorant of its use as a treatment for scurvy when they arrived in north america. the first nations people were probably first to brew it and it was used to prevent scurvy by jacques cartier and his explorers when they arrived in stadacona in what is now quebec in 1535. european sailors adopted the practice and subsequently spread it across the world.
