How to eat Gummi Bears

© Copyright Frank D. Kanu 2000-2008

Or better: Gummibären.
After all, the best ones come from Haribo, Hans Riegel in Bonn, Germany external

.

Anyway, back to the question: How does one eat them?

Where I used to live in Germany most would start by biting the Gummibär’s head off.
Some say that is animal cruelty and just lick them.

How do you eat Gummibären?

Red Sardines

© Copyright Frank D. Kanu 2000-2008

Another one from my mom

(Black) bread
Sardines
Tomato paste
Cheese (Gouda, but American will do too)

It really taste better with black bread.

Alternatively use dark bread and toast it until it becomes hard. Spread tomato paste evenly over the bread. Add some black or white pepper if you like it spicy. Take a sardine, remove the bones and lay it on the bread. Spread some tomato paste over it and top with the cheese.

No put it in the oven at medium heat for some five minutes to get everything hot. Broil I for a few moments to get the cheese melted.

Bon appetite!

Sailors Love

An old yet very easy recipe I learned from my mom:

Blend a fresh apple with mayonnaise (in case you are wondering - yes, I make mayonnaise myself!) and some pepper. Makes a wonderful sauce that tastes perfect on mackerel.

Congratulations Anne-Sophie Pic!

The small sisterhood of French grands chefs celebrated yesterday when the Michelin guide awarded three stars to a ground-breaking self-taught cook—the first French woman to win the culinary distinction since 1951.

High time, wouldn’t you agree?

Dedicated journalism?

The lady at Fox 5 news reporting about the drought in Loudoun County talks about the crispy grass.

Doesn’t one has to taste to know what is crispy?

Chicken Or No Chicken - That Is The Question

“There is very low risk to human health” from consuming the chickens, according to a synopsis of the findings released by the Agriculture Department and the Food and Drug Administration.
Even if a person were to eat the chickens for breakfast, lunch and dinner, scientists concluded, the amount of melamine consumed in one day would be 1/2,500 of the minimum dose thought capable of posing a health risk.
“In other words, it was well below any level of public health concern,” the Agriculture Department said in a statement.

Unfortunately that does not take into consideration, that one might get melamine with other foods.

But for me the bigger question is how much can one trust a Federal agency that:

has known for years about contamination problems at a Georgia peanut butter plant and on California spinach farms that led to disease outbreaks that killed three people, sickened hundreds, and forced one of the biggest product recalls in U.S. history, documents and interviews show.
