Salutăm Ziua Internațională a Berii de mâine cu câteva lucruri utile. Cum să te dezbari de vicii, de exemplu. Să ții un jurnal în era oversharingului. Sau cu o discuție pe care nu vrea să o aibă nimeni, cum ar fi aceea despre infidelitate. Și sfaturi de la un agent CIA despre cum să detectezi minciuna.

Avem și o listă cu date importante, ca să  ținem pasul cu Zilele și sărbătorilor și avem, bineînțeles, bere. Veche de 1100 de ani. De la bere am ajuns la brânză și de acolo la șofran. Merge bine cu sushi și pâine cu lavă. Ăsta da un weekend list cu de toate.

Why Is Caviar So Expensive?

Caviar is one of the most expensive foods in the world. Selling for up to $35,000 per kilo, it's revered and relished by aristocrats across the globe. But it's an acquired taste. Turns out, caviar wasn't always so valuable. In the 19th century, sturgeon species in the US were so common that there are accounts of caviar being offered in saloons for free, like bar nuts. In Europe, fishermen were feeding the eggs to their pigs, or leaving it on the beach to spoil. What changed?

 

Before Sushi, There Was Funazushi

 The type of sushi you’re probably most familiar with is haya-nare, a quick form of sushi made and consumed within a day using vinegared rice and raw fish. But there’s a second type of sushi that takes a little longer to prepare—try three years longer. Served with rice and fermented fish, funazushi is a traditional Japanese dish dating back over 400 years. And while traditional sushi can be made using a variety of fish, funazushi is made only using fish unique to Japan’s Lake Biwa. No one understands the process better than Mariko Kitamura. She’s the 18th generation to run her family’s shop in Takashima City. Together with her husband, she’s keeping the legacy and traditional methods of funazushi alive.
