Bánh mì

In vietnamese cuisine, bánh mì or banh mi (, ; vietnamese: [ɓǎjŋ̟ mî], "bread") is a short baguette with thin, crisp crust and soft, airy texture. it is often split lengthwise and filled with savory ingredients like a submarine sandwich and served as a meal, called bánh mì thịt. plain banh mi is also eaten as a staple food. a typical vietnamese roll or sandwich is a fusion of meats and vegetables from native vietnamese cuisine such as chả lụa (pork sausage), coriander leaf (cilantro), cucumber, pickled carrots, and pickled daikon combined with condiments from french cuisine such as pâté, along with red chili and buttery mayonnaise. however, a wide variety of popular fillings are used, from xíu mại (a chinese cuisine) to even ice cream. in vietnam, bread rolls and sandwiches are typically eaten for breakfast or as a snack. the baguette was introduced to vietnam by the french in the mid-19th century, during the nguyễn dynasty and became a staple food by the early 20th century. during the 1950s, a distinctly vietnamese style of sandwich developed in saigon, becoming a popular street food, also known as bánh mì sài gòn ("saigon sandwich", "saigon-style banh mi"). following the vietnam war, overseas vietnamese popularized the bánh mì sandwich in countries such as australia, canada and the united states. in these countries they are commonly sold in asian bakeries.

Barossa Valley wine

The barossa valley wine region is one of australia's oldest and most premier wine regions. located in south australia, the barossa valley is about 56 km (35 miles) northeast of the city of adelaide. unlike most of australia whose wine industry was heavily influenced by the british, the wine industry of the barossa valley was founded by german settlers fleeing persecution from the prussian province of silesia (in what is now poland). the warm continental climate of the region promoted the production of very ripe grapes that was the linchpin of the early australian fortified wine industry. as the modern australian wine industry shifted towards red table wines (particularly those made by the prestigious cabernet sauvignon) in the mid-20th century, the barossa valley fell out of favor due to its reputation for being largely a syrah from producers whose grapes were destined for blending. during this period the name "barossa valley" rarely appeared on wine labels. in the 1980s, the emergence of several boutique families specializing in old vine shiraz wines began to capture international attention for the distinctive style of barossa shiraz, a full bodied red wine with rich chocolate and spice notes. this led to a renaissance in the barossa valley which catapulted the region to the forefront of the australian wine industry.many of australia's largest and most notable wineries are either headquartered or own extensive holdings in the barossa valley. these include such wineries as penfolds, peter lehmann, orlando wines, seppeltsfield, wolf blass and yalumba. many shiraz vines in the barossa valley are several decades old, with some vineyards planted with old vines that are 100–150 years old including turkey flat in tanunda that is home to the oldest commercially producing grape vines, originally planted in 1847. other grape varieties grown in the barossa valley include grenache, mourvedre, cabernet sauvignon, riesling, chardonnay and semillon.in february 2011, south australian premier mike rann announced that special legislation would be introduced to protect the unique heritage of the barossa valley and mclaren vale. premier rann said: "barossa and mclaren vale food and wine are key icons of south australia. we must never allow the barossa or mclaren vale to become suburbs of adelaide." the character preservation (barossa valley) act 2012 was subsequently passed by the south australian parliament.

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.
