How Fish and Chips Migrated to Great Britain

How Fish and Chips Migrated to Great Britain

Fish and chips’s origin story, however, is a bit more complex than this nationalist sentiment might imply.

As told by Simon Majumdar in his podcast, Eat My Globe, it all began outside of the U.K., hundreds of years ago. From the 8th to the 12th century, Jews, Muslims, and Christians lived in relative peace in Portugal, known as Al-Andalus under Moorish rule. Sephardic Jews, who likely comprised around 20 percent of the population, were relatively well-respected and held positions in the high court. For this reason, the area became somewhat of a haven for those fleeing the Spanish Inquisition. However, in 1496, after the end of Moorish rule, King Manuel I married Isabel of Spain, who was not so aligned with the idea of religious freedom. Her ultimatum: Their betrothal would mean the expulsion of Jews from Portugal. Manuel I mandated that all Jews be baptized, or otherwise expelled.

While many fled, some Jews stayed, and either converted to Christianity or pretended to do so while continuing to practice Judaism in secret. But when Portugal fell under Spanish rule, the Inquisition targeted individuals with Jewish lineage, threatening anyone claiming to be a Converso. As religious violence worsened, many fled Portugal and resettled in England, bringing with them culinary treasures founded in Sephardic cuisine—including fish.

March 9, 2021 Morning

Good morning! A beautiful Tuesday. Partly cloudy and 39 degrees in Delmar, NY. β›… There is a west breeze at 7 mph. πŸƒ. Temperatures will drop below freezing at around 11 pm. β˜ƒοΈ Going to be a nice day and even nicer come Wednesday and Thursday.

That sun β˜€ is sure nice this morning. The birds are chirping, 🐦 sounds like a touhee. Saw a big flock of geese πŸ¦† flying north. I think midday I’ll walk down to the library πŸ“š to return my books and then work outside for a couple of hours. Then heck after work I might even go down to the park. It’s that nice of a day. 🏞

It seems hard to believe that it was a year ago when the pandemic was getting underway. πŸ‘Ύ I just remember driving down to the library and even in nice weather not wanting to be out of the truck, lest somebody walk by with the Corona. Even sitting on a park bench seemed dangerous, although by late summer we learned most of people’s phobias of touching things were kind of silly. βœ‹ While I never washed off my groceries, I did hurry in out of Aldi’s during the worse of the panademic, and generally stayed away from people on the trails and worked form inside my truck.

Today will be mostly sunny 🌞, with a high of 48 degrees at 3pm. Seven degrees above normal, which is similar to a typical day around March 24th. Northwest wind 7 to 13 mph. A year ago, we had mostly sunny skies in the morning with a few breaks of sun the afternoon. The high last year was 75 degrees. The record high of 81 was set in 2016. 6.9 inches of snow fell back in 1961.❄

Solar noon 🌞 is at 12:07 pm with sun having an altitude of 43Β° from the due south horizon (-27.8Β° vs. 6/21). A six foot person will cast a 6.4 foot shadow today compared to 2.2 feet on the first day of summer. The golden hour πŸ… starts at 5:18 pm with the sun in the west-southwest (259Β°). πŸ“Έ The sunset is in the west (265Β°) with the sun dropping below the horizon at 5:55 pm after setting for 2 minutes and 54 seconds with dusk around 6:22 pm, which is one minute and 12 seconds later than yesterday. πŸŒ‡ The best time to look at the stars is after 6:56 pm. At sunset, look for mostly clear skies πŸŒ„ and temperatures around 44 degrees. There will be a northwest breeze at 10 mph. Today will have 11 hours and 38 minutes of daytime, an increase of 2 minutes and 53 seconds over yesterday.

Tonight will have patchy fog after 1am. 🌁 Patchy freezing fog after 1am. Otherwise, partly cloudy 🌀, with a low of 27 degrees at 5am. Four degrees above normal, which is similar to a typical night around March 19th. Northwest wind 5 to 7 mph becoming calm in the evening. In 2020, we had mostly clear skies in the evening, which became light rain by the early hours of the morning. It got down to 44 degrees. The record low of 0 occurred back in 1996.

Today in 1959, Barbie doll makes its debut at the American International Toy Fair in New York. 🎎 I am pretty sure that’s a very non-politically correct toy nowadays, due to the sexualization of teenage girls. That said, dogs sure like chewing off their heads, 🐢 and they are fun to watch burn up in the burn barrel. πŸ”₯ Crazy childhood stories, I tell you. I still have the mark on my hand from that burning rubber I got on it from the pokey stick.

A picture perfect weekend on tap. 😎 Saturday, mostly sunny, with a high near 42. Sunday, mostly sunny, with a high near 39. Typical average high for the weekend is 43 degrees. I am thinking of heading up north this weekend — up north it will be below freezing for most of the weekend, so the snow won’t be so sloppy, but there will be no fire danger if I want big ol’ fire and do some late winter tent camping. πŸ• Probably by the next time I camp somewhere, it will be in the truck cap. Maybe by then I can go out to Brookfield or maybe Stoney Pond and work from Cazenovia. Sounds like fun. 🏒 Of course who knows when in-person office work returns, now that I have this whole remote work thing figured out, from managing power on the truck for the laptop to the hotspot on my phone. πŸ’»

🌹🌻🌼Only 11 days remain until the first day of calendar spring!🌹🌻🌼 A week from Saturday. But first the time change. That said, the long range looks like we have a cold start to the spring after the “false spring” of the next three days. Regardless, the sun angle and average temperature is increasing, so it’s not going to be cold forever.

One month πŸ“… from now will be 7:30 PM Sunset πŸŒ‡ with dusk at 7:59 pm (Daylight Savings Time). That time change will be nice with the extra light in the evening. The average high on April 8th is 55 degrees.

EPA investigates toxic ‘forever chemicals’ in pesticides | TheHill

The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is investigating the presence of toxic chemicals in pesticides, which may be coming from their plastic containers, it said on Friday.?

The agency said in a statement that its testing showed that the chemicals, belonging to a family of substances called PFAS, were "most likely formed" by a reaction while fluorine was being put into the containers, and then "leached into the pesticide product."

The agency said it was still early in its investigation, and that it will use "all available regulatory and non-regulatory tools to determine the scope of this emerging issue."?
