Iconic food and gustatory moments in history.
Whether you call it Bubble or Boba, here's what it's all about?
Imagine walking down the street and you come across a storefront with bright, colorful advertisements for Boba tea. The poster shows that the beverage comes in various, vibrant flavors — from matcha and mango to taro and strawberry — and it pulls you in to make an order. But you don’t even know where to begin when you see all of the creative ways you can customize your drink. How do you choose a base, flavors or toppings? What exactly is Boba?

What is PIZZA? Ask any kid this, and I venture that 9 out of 10 will say – PEPPERONI! It’s standard fare for American kids, at least. To say that the history of pizza has changed is like saying the ocean is full of water.

Poland has a rich food history and a great deal of influence on foods in surrounding countries. Old Polish (prior to the intrusion of Christianity in the 10th Century) cuisine has its roots in foods found from the forest- wild game, mushrooms, fruits, and herbs, and Poland’s geographical location affected its cuisine immensely. Since then, the food culture has evolved because of the influences of the Catholic Church. The institution of Christianity in Poland had an enormous impact on traditional Polish foods. In this essay I will explore the original Old Polish cuisine, and explain how the coming of Christianity in 996 A.D. and Poland’s geography have impacted food cultures in Poland.

Then gradually adding the carefully prepared, thread-thin, sugar water, he combined them into a smooth, silky, pool of decadence.

We ate like kings (all around the world) by: the ADHD Accountant – Krid 200 years ago people had a staple diet. That means boring. They ate the same thing day in and a day out and for breakfast, for lunch, and for dinner. Famine was prevalent. Malnutrition. Scurvy. In some places today the challenges from droughts, floods, fire, and pests can decimate crops and challenge survival. Be grateful.

There’s nothing more American than a local festival. As a Floridian, I’ve attended many of these events celebrating diverse themes such as rattlesnakes, kumquats, strawberries, pirates, the English Renaissance, and the Greek Epiphany. When visiting the Daytona-Ormond Beach area for spring break in 2018, a banner for an upcoming festival caught my eye: Come Celebrate Nowruz 1397. Always up for an adventure, we decided it would be added to our vacation agenda. On Sunday, March 18, 2018, my husband and I visited this community event.
