Greetings, my reading friend. Yours truly has a question for you. Are you a foody / foodie, in other words a Homo sapiens very interested in cooking and eating different kinds of food? Yes? Wunderbar! Are you familiar with synthetic meat / meat substitute / meat analogue / meat alternative / imitation meat by any chance? Yes, yes, synthetic meat. The world needs such a product in a bad way. Do you not know that red meat is a significant contributor to climate change? Indeed, it is a major factor

Do not close this webpage, my reader friend disturbed / alarmed by our topic for today! Yours truly realises that the breeding of frogs for the purpose of consuming their legs, in other words ranaculture, can be a rather off-putting subject. This being said (typed?), it is a topic which fits very well within the mandate of the Canada Agriculture and Food Museum, in Ottawa, Ontario, a brother / sister museal institution of the terrifically good Canada Aviation and Space Museum, also located in

I salute you, my reading friend. As you will had obviously noticed, the subject of our estradinary blog / bulletin / thingee for this beginning of August is foodish in nature. Let me kick off our story with two births taking place in Francueil, France, a village located more or less in the centre of that country: - that of Silvain Adrien Clément, on 16 April 1874, and - that of Rachel Marie Louise Guillot, on 8 December 1882. These two young people having joined in matrimony in 1901, the young

As yours truly gazed across the abyss that is the World Wide Web, an ad caught my eye. I will admit it had never occurred to me refer to castor oil as delicious. Mind you, I must also admit I never had the (dis)pleasure to actually taste that fluid. As I searched and searched ceaselessly, for a good 90 seconds and a half, for information on William Hood & Company of Toronto, Ontario, a thought gradually formed into my mind. Why not use that firm as pretext to talk (type?) about castor oil? That
