Apple

An apple is an edible fruit produced by an apple tree (malus domestica). apple trees are cultivated worldwide and are the most widely grown species in the genus malus. the tree originated in central asia, where its wild ancestor, malus sieversii, is still found today. apples have been grown for thousands of years in asia and europe and were brought to north america by european colonists. apples have religious and mythological significance in many cultures, including norse, greek, and european christian tradition. apples grown from seed tend to be very different from those of their parents, and the resultant fruit frequently lacks desired characteristics. generally, apple cultivars are propagated by clonal grafting onto rootstocks. apple trees grown without rootstocks tend to be larger and much slower to fruit after planting. rootstocks are used to control the speed of growth and the size of the resulting tree, allowing for easier harvesting. there are more than 7,500 known cultivars of apples. different cultivars are bred for various tastes and uses, including cooking, eating raw, and cider production. trees and fruit are prone to a number of fungal, bacterial, and pest problems, which can be controlled by a number of organic and non-organic means. in 2010, the fruit's genome was sequenced as part of research on disease control and selective breeding in apple production. worldwide production of apples in 2018 was 86 million tonnes, with china accounting for nearly half of the total.

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.

Bleu de gex (also bleu du haut-jura or bleu de septmoncel) is a creamy, semi-soft blue cheese made from unpasteurized milk in the jura region of france.it is named after the pays de gex, a historical region in what is now france and switzerland. during production, penicillium roqueforti mold is introduced and the unwashed curds are loosely packed. it is then aged for at least three weeks. to meet appellation d'origine contrôlée guidelines, it must contain only the milk of montbéliard cows. it is milder and younger than the majority of french blue cheeses. each wheel is stamped with the word "gex".due to changes made in november 2004 to the official u.s. definition of "soft cheese", and the requirement that such cheeses from france must be made with pasteurized milk in french-certified plants, bleu de gex can not be sold legally in the united states.

Brillat-Savarin

Brillat-savarin is a soft-ripened triple cream cow's milk cheese with at least 72% fat in dry matter (roughly 40% overall). it has a natural, bloomy rind. it was created c. 1890 as "excelsior" or "délice des gourmets" ("gourmets' delight") by the dubuc family, near forges-les-eaux (seine-maritime). cheese-maker henri androuët renamed it in the 1930s, as an homage to 18th-century french gourmet and political figure jean anthelme brillat-savarin.brillat-savarin is produced all year round mainly in burgundy. it comes in 12–13 cm (4.7–5.1 in) wheels and approximately 4 cm thick, and is matured for one to two weeks in dry cellar. it is also available as a fresh cheese (non affiné) that resembles rich cream cheese.it is a triple cream soft-ripened cheese that is luscious, creamy and faintly sour.the french cheesemaking company rouzaire also produces an older brillat savarin under the name pierre robert. the extra aging time concentrates the proteins and salt in the cheese, resulting in deeper earthy flavors and more intense salty taste. wheels of pierre robert are physically smaller due to loss of moisture, yet creamier than the regular-aged brillat savarin.

Chablis

The chablis (pronounced [ʃabli]) region is the northernmost wine district of the burgundy region in france. the cool climate of this region produces wines with more acidity and flavors less fruity than chardonnay wines grown in warmer climates. these wines often have a "flinty" note, sometimes described as "goût de pierre à fusil" ("tasting of gunflint"), and sometimes as "steely". the chablis appellation d'origine contrôlée is required to use chardonnay grapes solely. the grapevines around the town of chablis make a dry white wine renowned for the purity of its aroma and taste. in comparison with the white wines from the rest of burgundy, chablis wine has typically much less influence of oak. most basic chablis is unoaked, and vinified in stainless steel tanks. the amount of barrel maturation, if any, is a stylistic choice which varies widely among chablis producers. many grand cru and premier cru wines receive some maturation in oak barrels, but typically the time in barrel and the proportion of new barrels is much smaller than for white wines of côte de beaune.

Cuisse de grenouille

Frog legs (french: cuisses de grenouille) are one of the better-known delicacies of french cuisine, where it has been considered as a national delicacy.the legs of edible frogs are also consumed in other parts of the world, including vietnam, southern china, cambodia, thailand, indonesia, korea, northern italy, the alentejo region of portugal, spain, albania, slovenia, romania, bulgaria, northwestern greece, south africa and the southern regions of the united states. as of 2014, the world's largest exporter of edible frogs is indonesia. in brazil, mexico and the caribbean, many frogs are still caught wild. frog legs are rich in protein, omega-3 fatty acids, vitamin a, and potassium. they are often said to taste like chicken because of their mild flavor, with a texture most similar to chicken wings. the taste and texture of frog meat is approximately between chicken and fish. frogs are raised commercially in certain countries, for example vietnam. frog muscles do not resolve rigor mortis as quickly as muscles from warm-blooded animals (chicken, for example) do, so heat from cooking can cause fresh frog legs to twitch.

Gruyère

Gruyère (uk: , us: , french: [ɡʁɥijɛʁ] (listen); german: greyerzer) is a hard swiss cheese that originated in the cantons of fribourg, vaud, neuchâtel, jura, and berne in switzerland. it is named after the town of gruyères in fribourg. in 2001, gruyère gained the appellation d'origine contrôlée (aoc), which became the appellation d'origine protégée (aop) as of 2013. gruyère is classified as a swiss-type or alpine cheese, and is sweet but slightly salty, with a flavor that varies widely with age. it is often described as creamy and nutty when young, becoming more assertive, earthy, and complex as it matures. when fully aged (five months to a year), it tends to have small cracks that impart a slightly grainy texture. unlike emmental, with which it is often confused, modern gruyère has few if any eyes, although in the 19th century this was not always the case. it is the most popular swiss cheese in switzerland, and in most of europe.

Kouglof

A gugelhupf (also kugelhupf, guglhupf, gugelhopf, and, in france, kouglof, kougelhof, or kougelhopf) is a cake traditionally baked in a distinctive circular bundt mold that has a circular hole in the middle. there are three main types: cocoa; plain with a hint of vanilla and lemon zest; and a marbled combination of the two. it is popular in a wide region of central europe particularly in southern germany, alsace, austria, switzerland, croatia, hungary, bosnia, serbia, slovakia, slovenia, czech republic and poland. it is not closely related to the christmas cake in italy known as the pandoro nor to the american bundt cake as that is not yeast based. in the cuisine of the pennsylvania dutch it is known as deitscher kuche (german cake).in late medieval austria, a gugelhupf was served at major community events such as weddings, and was decorated with flowers, leaves, candles, and seasonal fruits. the name persisted through the austro-hungarian empire, eventually becoming standardized in viennese cookbooks as a refined, rich cake, flavored with rosewater and almond. many regional variations exist, testifying to the widespread popularity of the gugelhupf tradition. several narratives claim the origin of the cake in roman times with a spurious claim relating even further back to the three wise men. the cake was popularized as a prestige pastry by emperor franz joseph of austria and was popularized in france by marie-antoinette. the gugelhupf was the sweet chosen to represent austria in the café europe initiative of the austrian presidency of the european union, on europe day 2006.

Mushroom

A mushroom or toadstool is the fleshy, spore-bearing fruiting body of a fungus, typically produced above ground, on soil, or on its food source. toadstool generally denotes one poisonous to humans.the standard for the name "mushroom" is the cultivated white button mushroom, agaricus bisporus; hence the word "mushroom" is most often applied to those fungi (basidiomycota, agaricomycetes) that have a stem (stipe), a cap (pileus), and gills (lamellae, sing. lamella) on the underside of the cap. "mushroom" also describes a variety of other gilled fungi, with or without stems, therefore the term is used to describe the fleshy fruiting bodies of some ascomycota. these gills produce microscopic spores that help the fungus spread across the ground or its occupant surface. forms deviating from the standard morphology usually have more specific names, such as "bolete", "puffball", "stinkhorn", and "morel", and gilled mushrooms themselves are often called "agarics" in reference to their similarity to agaricus or their order agaricales. by extension, the term "mushroom" can also refer to either the entire fungus when in culture, the thallus (called a mycelium) of species forming the fruiting bodies called mushrooms, or the species itself.

Mustard

Mustard is a condiment made from the seeds of a mustard plant (white/yellow mustard, sinapis alba; brown mustard, brassica juncea; or black mustard, brassica nigra). the whole, ground, cracked, or bruised mustard seeds are mixed with water, vinegar, lemon juice, wine, or other liquids, salt, and often other flavourings and spices, to create a paste or sauce ranging in colour from bright yellow to dark brown. the seed itself has a strong, pungent, and somewhat bitter taste. the taste of mustard condiments ranges from sweet to spicy. mustard is commonly paired with meats, vegetables and cheeses, especially as a condiment for sandwiches, hamburgers, corn dogs, and hot dogs. it is also used as an ingredient in many dressings, glazes, sauces, soups, and marinades. as a cream or as individual seeds, mustard is used as a condiment in the cuisine of india and bangladesh, the mediterranean, northern and southeastern europe, asia, the americas, and africa, making it one of the most popular and widely used spices and condiments in the world.

Vin jaune

Vin jaune (french for "yellow wine") is a special and characteristic type of white wine made in the jura region in eastern france. it is similar to dry fino sherry and gets its character from being matured in a barrel under a film of yeast, known as the voile, on the wine's surface. vin jaune shares many similarities with sherry, including some aromas, but unlike sherry, it is not a fortified wine. the wine is made from the savagnin grape, with some of the most premium examples coming from the marl based vineyards in the château-chalon aoc. in other french wine regions, there has been experimentation in producing similar style wines from chardonnay and other local grape varieties using cultured yeast such as the vin de voile wine produced in the gaillac.
