Brazil has declared the acai berry a national fruit to stamp its ownership on the popular "superfood" as concerns grow about foreign companies staking claims to the Amazon's biological riches. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/news/2026/02/03/world/brazil-acai-biopiracy/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #worldnews #food #fruit #brazil #environment #forests

Snails, sourdough, lobster, caviar were once survival food. Now they're status symbols.
When ordinary ingredients move from the backwaters to upscale restaurants, traditions are stripped of context, prices soar, and those who created them are priced out.

I had a sudden craving for jacket potatoes... I haven't had one for ages - for no apparent reason 🤷
I can inform you that baking potatoes in the air fryer is not only possible, they come out great after about an hour 👍
Proper crispy skins (don't forget to salt them) and fluffy middles - just fantastic!
Three at once to make the hour pay back as much as possible, I will eat the others later!

My kitchen table reading lately has been "Dinner in the Diner: 300 recipes from America's Era of Great Trains" by Will Hollister, 1984.
So this morning I read:
Shrimp Cocktail Sauce
1c mayo
1c chili sauce
4 drops Tabasco sauce...
WHAT: 4 DROPS of Tabasco sauce‽‽‽
Good grief, why bother? 🤨
Here's my collection of Tabasco sauce bottles from the last decade or so. I plan to make a chandelier out of them someday. (Emphasis on "someday.")

I was curious about my vinegar aversion and looked up why I didn’t seem to have any vinegar in my southern Chinese (Teochew and Cantonese) coastal cuisines at all. We also have almost no fermentation culture
Apparently, the climate, widespread availability of fresh food, and centuries of global trade in our ports and regional preference for food caught / prepared on the same day meant we have almost no need for food preservation.
Those cuisines dislike any flavors that overshadow the ‘original’ flavor of meats, seafood and vegetables. So yeah we almost never used any vinegar. I could not even eat northern Chinese food for a long time. Coz of the vinegar. It took me a long time to be able to eat anything that was vinegar heavy.
Now, my favorite ones are Yucatán foods flavored with citrus.
The first time I tried Tabasco and Sriracha, I was so mad. Hot sauce should not have vinegar (to me). It should just be straight up chillies, made fresh, daily, at lunch. 😉
I still don’t like Tabasco or American style sriracha. But I can now have a panucho with cochinita pibil with a lot of zest and acid.
Most people in my family cannot even deal with a drop of acid or vinegar. That was me, until very recently!
