Brinta

|

The Dutch Table: Brinta

Brinta, short for Breakfast Instant Tarwe (wheat), was created in the province of Groningen in 1944. The partially English name was given to the product as a tender (or commercially sound) gesture to the English and American armed forces who were stationed in our country during that time, and who were much more familiar with robuster breakfast grains. In 1963, the year of the coldest Elfstedentocht yet, the winner of this long distance skating event happened to mention that all he had had for breakfast was "een bordje Brinta" (a serving of Brinta porridge). The connection between sports and Brinta was made, and it continues to this day.

I was watching the Saskatchewan Dutch Dairy Kid channel and he was eating Britna.

NY bans ‘forever chemicals’ from pizza boxes, food container

 Gov. Andrew Cuomo on Thursday signed legislation that officially bans the use of dangerous, indestructible “forever chemicals” from pizza boxes and other food containers.

The new law bans the use of per- and polyfluoroalkyl chemicals (PFAS) in food packaging. Studies have linked PFAS chemicals to increased cancer risk, kidney disease and weakened immune systems, among other negative health impacts.

That's a good thing as not only do these chemicals potentially leach into the food, the leach out of landfills or even more directly into the environment as litter, when tossed in compost or manure piles, or burned in a fire pit or burn barrel.

Harold McGee is best-known for his books about food science. In his new book, ‘Nose Dive,’ he writes about why things smell the way they do — and the ways different chemicals combine to create surprising (and sometimes distasteful) odors. We talk about stinky cheese, cat pee, mask breath and why cooking releases smells.

14 Chicken Dinners That Cost Less Than $2 to Make | SELF

Though it may seem like meat is always kind of expensive, you can totally cook a hearty, chicken dinner for just a couple of bucks. The protein source is available in many affordable forms at the supermarket—take canned, rotisserie, cold cut, whole, or frozen chicken, for example. Most of the time, these products will cost you around $5 a pop, often even less than that. That means that in most cases, you can use them to make meals that will cost less than $2 per serving—yes, really!
