While we have all sniffed food to check whether it has gone off, it's sometimes difficult to know which produce can be safely consumed after its use-by date. Whether it's chocolate that has developed a whitish bloom or bread that has gone slightly mouldy, it's confusing whether something is OK to eat or drink or whether it needs to be binned. As one entrepreneur reveals he is making millions by selling out-of-date food, it's clear that when it comes to the timeline on our packaging, there is some leeway. Scroll down for video There are some foods which can be safely eaten even after use-by their dates have long gone Dan Cluderay, from Worksop, Nottinghamshire, who runs Approved Food, appeared on Bargain Fever Britain on ITV1 last night, explaining how he sells his cheap products to busy mums and bargain hunters. The 40-year-old says the secret to his success is that his business provides just what the savvy shopper is looking for - quality food at prices which save mums around £60 off their weekly bill compared to a similar shop at one of the big supermarkets. He says there are only two dates shoppers need to know about: 'use-by' and 'best before' dates. According to NHS guidelines, the use-by date means food has to be eaten by that time, otherwise it can cause you to be unwell. However, when it comes to best before dates, it's a different story, with many produce safe to consume for sometimes weeks after this timeline. Dan Cluderay's online business selling out-of-date food has proven to be a hit with busy mums Cupboard staples bread, milk and eggs can all be consumed past their use-by dates But while use-by dates do play a part in ensuring we don't make ourselves sick, there are some foods which can be safely eaten even after their dates have long gone. In an article for the MailOnline, investigative food journalist Joanna Blythman revealed: 'Use-by dates are, of course, an integral part of our modern food distribution, whereby supermarkets like to promote the concept of the "weekly shop". 'In this culture of "stocking up" for several days ahead, an illusion of freshness is provided by vast, high-tech fridges.' RELATED ARTICLES Share this article Share 3.7k shares She continues: 'But use-by dates are here to stay. They are an inevitable part of our urbanised, retail society and it is foolish to ignore them. What is crucial to understand, though, is the difference between use-by and best-before labels - something that often seems to confuse consumers.' With so much information and advice around, how can we be certain what is safe to eat? Chocolate (left) can keep past its use by date. It may however develop a 'bloom' which occurs when cocoa fats are exposed to air. It is also safe to eat hard cheese such as cheddar (right) after their use by dates Dry aged steak (meat which sometimes has been hung for up to 120 days and becomes dry due to loss of water content) sees connoisseurs paying over the odds for consuming essentially what is mouldy meat 'Foods which are very salty, for instance, are generally safe to eat. A good example of this is pickles, which, because it is preserved in vinegar, is safe to consume long after the date on the jar,' Joanna said. 'The same rule applies to sugary foods such as honey or jam. Using large amounts of sugar is an effective method of preservation, which is the reason that very sweet products like fruitcake and fudge can be eaten well past their use by dates.' According to Ms Blythman,fermented food such as German sauerkraut and Korean kimchi are safe as as they are essentially food which has been preserved through salting, curing or drying. She also said that hard cheeses, such as cheddar, are safe to eat after their use-by dates. 'Even if it's turned mouldy on the outside, the exterior can just be cut off and the interior consumed. The same principle applies to bread,' she said. Hard cheeses, such as cheddar, are safe to eat after their use-by dates The same, however, is not true of soft cheeses like brie or camembert, which can foster harmful bacteria once they have lost their freshness. And surprisingly, use-by dates are not too much of a worry with eggs. 'They can still be used in a sponge cake or hard-boiled in a salad long after the benchmark has been passed, though they should not be eaten scrambled, fried or soft-boiled if they have been left for too long,' she explained. 'In the same vein, sour milk makes great pancakes. The act of cooking the milk will kill off any harmful bacteria present.' However she advised to steer clear of consuming meats after their use-by dates. 'Under no circumstances should any meats be consumed past their use-by dates,' she said. 'Poultry and pork are by far the biggest sources of food poisoning in Britain, a problem worsened by factory farming methods that spread contamination.' And while it may seem counterintuitive to cook meat such as steak when it's gone past it's use-by date, the current trend for dry aged steak (meat which sometimes has been hung for up to 120 days and becomes dry due to loss of water content) sees connoisseurs paying over the odds for consuming essentially what is mouldy meat. If you don't mind the loss of crunch, both biscuits (left) and crisps (right) can be eaten after their use-by dates At the 120-day hanging stage, the mould, which is very similar to what you would see on aged cheese such as blue cheese, starts to form. 'Most simply, thoroughly cooking any product will destroy most bacteria, as they cannot survive extreme heat,' Ms Blythman said. 'For example, where meat has darkened because of exposure to air, it needn't be binned. Just cook it at a high heat and it should be absolutely fine.' However, she does have a word of warning. 'Despite what some people think, washing meat under a tap makes no difference to the bacteria contained within. Indeed, it can even be positively counter-productive, by spreading that bacteria to the kitchen sink, surfaces and cloths.' TEN FOODS WHICH CAN BE CONSUMED AFTER THEIR USE-BY DATES Milk: Pasteurised milk will keep 50 per cent longer if you store it at a lower temperature. Try storing at the back of the fridge rather than the fridge door. If your milk has gone sour, use it to make pancakes Eggs: According to a report by food scientist Dana Gunders, eggs can last for three to five weeks. But they have to be kept at a temperature below 5C (41F), as that helps prevent potential growth of Salmonella enteritidis. Sugary foods: Anything with a large amount of sugar, such as jams or honeys, are safe to be consumed. German sauerkraut and Korean kimchi: Safe as as they are foods which has been preserved through salting, curing or drying. Crisps: While they may have gone soft, crisps are highly processed and loaded with salt so are safe to be consumed. Biscuits: Like crisps, biscuits are also highly processed and thus can be consumed long after their sell-by date. If they taste soft or soggy simply pop them in the oven to get them crunchy again. Dry pasta: Dry goods such as uncooked pasta, as long as it is stored in airtight containers, can keep indefinitely Bread: Keep it in the freezer and it will last for ages. Just make sure you cut out the mouldy bits if you spot any. Canned foods: Extend the shelf life of canned products by storing them in a cool and dark area. Packaged salad: As long as your salad leaves haven't gone mouldy (wilted and mouldy are very different) simply revive them in ice-cold water Chocolate: Chocolate can last a long time often develops a white coating, known as the 'bloom', when it's exposed to the air. This happens because the fat melts and [https://weareliferuiner.com/korean-chocolate-milk-how-to-make/ weareliferuiner.com] rises to the top. Mr Cluderay told FEMAIL: 'Food is perfectly fine to be eaten way past its "best before" date, as people know, but the large supermarkets won't do that and that's where we come in. 'We sell food, such as cans of baked beans, pasta sauce, tins of tuna, which may have gone past their 'best before' date by a few weeks, but everyone knows they will taste just the same as the products which have weeks left to run.' Mr Cluderay said they dispatch around 600 orders a day with his average shopper spending around £40 a week buying cupboard staples such as pasta, pasta sauce, flour and toilet rolls. 'By comparison, they'd be spending around £100 at one of the major supermarkets so they're actually saving around £60 which they can then spend on something else. 'We don't touch food that has a limited shelf life such as fresh chicken and fresh fish, but we do sell hardy vegetables.' THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN USE BY AND BEST BEFORE DATES: USE BY... You will see 'use by' dates on food that goes off quickly, such as smoked fish, meat products and ready-prepared salads. Don't use any food or drink after the end of the 'use by' date on the label, even if it looks and smells fine. This is because using it after this date could put your health at risk. For the 'use by' date to be a valid guide, you must follow storage instructions such as ‘keep in a refrigerator'. If you don't follow these instructions, the food will spoil more quickly and you may risk food poisoning. Once a food with a ‘use by' date on it has been opened, you also need to follow any instructions such as ‘eat within three days of opening'. But remember, if the ‘use by' is tomorrow, then you must use the food by the end of tomorrow, even if the label says ‘eat within a week of opening' and you have only opened the food today. If a food can be frozen its life can be extended beyond the ‘use by' date. But make sure you follow any instructions on the pack, such as ‘cook from frozen' or ‘defrost thoroughly before use and use within 24 hours'. BEST BEFORE... ‘Best before' dates appear on a wide range of frozen, dried, tinned and other foods. ‘Best before' dates are about quality, not safety. When the date is passed, it doesn't mean that the food will be harmful, but it might begin to lose its flavour and texture. Eggs can be eaten after their ‘best before' date as long as they are cooked thoroughly until both yolk and white are solid, or if they are used in dishes where they will be fully cooked such as a cake. Cooking eggs until both the white and yolk are solid will kill any bacteria, such as salmonella. People who are in ‘at-risk' groups should only eat eggs, or food containing eggs, that have been thoroughly cooked. These groups include: babies and toddlers; elderly people; pregnant women; people who are already unwell. Every year in the UK we throw away 7.2m tonnes of food and drink, most of which could have been eaten. So think carefully before throwing away food past its ‘best before' date. Remember, the ‘best before' date will only be accurate if the food is stored according to the instructions on the label, such as ‘store in a cool dry place' or ‘keep in the fridge once opened'. DISPLAY UNTIL/ SELL BY... Date marks such as ‘display until' or ‘sell by' often appear near or next to the ‘best before' or ‘use by' date. These are instructions for shop staff, not for shoppers. The important dates for you to look for are the ‘use by' and ‘best before' dates.

The child told one of the terrorists that he was a 'very bad man' as he protected his mother who had been shot in the leg, and six-year-old sister. Incredibly, the attacker took pity on the family and bizarrely handed the children Mars bars before telling them: 'Please forgive me, we are not monsters.' His story emerged as sporadic gunfire continued to ring out from inside the mall early today as Kenyan security forces battled Al Qaeda-linked terrorists into a fourth day. Despite Kenyan police assurances that they had taken control of the building, a security expert with contacts inside the mall said at least 10 hostages were still being held by a band of attackers, possibly as many as 13. Kenya's foreign minister Amina Mohamed said 'two or three' Americans and one British woman were among those who attacked the Westgate shopping mall in Nairobi. Amazing courage: The four-year-old boy with his sister, six, stands holding a Mars bar given to him by a terrorist outside the Westgate shopping centre in Nairobi His mother told of her family's terrifying escape from Al Shabaab terrorists who butchered 62 people in the Nairobi shopping centre. The film producer had been queuing to buy milk in Nairobi's Westgate Shopping Centre when the militants struck. She hid under a cold meat counter in the Nakumatt supermarket for an hour-and-a-half with her children beneath her before terrorists finally found them and shot her in the thigh. RELATED ARTICLES Share this article Share The children's uncle told 'They had a lucky escape. The terrorists said if any of the kids were alive in the supermarket they could leave. 'Their mother made the decision to stand up and say "yes".' 'My nephew started arguing with them and called them bad men. He was very brave.' After discovering the advertising producer was of French origin, the men began to plead with her and claimed that the Muslim faith ‘was not a bad one'. ‘He told me I had to change my religion to Islam and said "do you forgive us? Do you forgive us?', the mother told The Independent. ‘Naturally, I was going to say whatever they wanted and they let us go'. Bizarrely, the terrorists handed the children Mars bars before they fled with two other children, including a 12-year-old boy who had at first refused to leave his dead mother. The fate of 20 others who had taken refuge under the meat counter is unknown. The family's escape is particularly astonishing in light of the indiscriminate slaughter of men, women and children throughout the mall after Al Shabaab launched their assault on Saturday. Ominous: A picture purportedly showing gunmen brandishing AK47s entering the mall Civilians running for cover in the shopping mall after the masked attackers opened fire Two children and a woman hide behind a bar inside the shopping mall in the hope they won't be found by the gunmen Early today, sporadic gunfire rang out from inside the mall as Kenyan security forces battled Al Qaeda-linked terrorists into a fourth day in what they said was a final push to rescue the last few hostages in a siege that has left more than 60 people dead. 'Taken control of all the floors. We're not here to feed the attackers with pastries but to finish and punish them,' Kenyan police Inspector General David Kimaiyo said on Twitter. Despite Kenyan government assurances of success, an explosion and gunfire could be heard coming from the mall at around 6.30am, followed by the sustained chatter of automatic weapons for about a minute almost three hours later, according to Associated Press reporters at the scene. Security forces carried a body out of the mall, which remained on fire, with flames and smoke visible. A Kenyan soldier wearing bomb disposal protective gear also exited the building. On patrol: Kenyan soldiers patrol near the Westgate mall, where sporadic gunfire continued to ring out early on Tuesday as the siege entered a fourth day Under control? Despite Kenyan police assurances that they had taken control of the building, a security expert with contacts inside the mall said at least 10 hostages were still being held by a band of attackers 'Like an abattoir': A Kenyan soldier prepares to enter the Westgate Mall, where miltants reportedly burnt the faces of their victims and cut off their hands to prevent them being identified Horrific: It was reported that a woman had been sexually abused at gunpoint in front of young hostages While the government announced Sunday that 'most' hostages had been released, a security expert with contacts inside the mall said at least 10 were still being held by a band of attackers, described as 'a multinational collection from all over the world.' A spokesman for the Foreign Office told MailOnline they had not received confirmation that the siege had ended. Somalia's rebel group Al-Shabaab, which claimed responsibility for the attack, posted an audio message on a pro-militant website late Monday that they were still in control of the building. 'Despite botched attempts by the Jews and Christians to recapture the mall today, the mujahideen are still in control of the Westgate,' al-Shabab spokesman Sheik Ali Mohamud Rage said in the message. 'The upper hand still remains theirs,' he said. Regular updates: Tweets from an account purportedly representing the Al Shabaab terror group claimed on Tuesday that the gunmen were still holding their ground Drama: A television reporter makes a telephone call while filming during a bout of heavy gunfire shortly after dawn on Tuesday at the Westgate centre Kenya's foreign minister Amina Mohamed said up to three Americans and one British woman were among the terrorists. Britain's foreign office said it was aware of the foreign minister's remarks, but would not confirm if a British woman was involved. The attacker from Britain was a woman who has 'done this many times before,' Mohamed said which lends weight to speculation that the so-called 'White Widow' Samantha Lewhwaite may have taken part in the raid. British Defense Secretary Philip Hammond said there had been six British deaths and the number could rise. An artistic director from Leicester said four of his relatives were killed as they took part in a television programme called Masterchef Junior. Samir Bhamra told The Times: 'They were young people... unfortunately they have all passed away. It's a very difficult time.' Meanwhile, a British woman told how she crawled to safety with her seven-month-old baby in her arms after masked gunmen stormed a cafe. Bethan Rayner, 35, who grabbed daughter Hani during a break in the gunfire, told The Sun: 'It was terrifying. We are still in shock.' U.S. officials said they were looking into whether any Americans were involved. State Department spokeswoman Jen Psaki said Monday that the department had 'no definitive evidence of the nationalities or the identities' of the attackers. The security expert, who insisted on anonymity to talk freely about the situation, said many hostages had been freed or escaped in the previous 24-36 hours, including some who were in hiding. Scouring the area: Kenyan security personnel patrol near the Westgate mall in Nairobi Heavy response: A Kenya Defence Forces armoured military vehicle drives to the Westgate shopping centre after an exchange of gunfire inside the mall early on Tuesday However, there were at least 30 hostages when the assault by al-Shabab militants began Saturday, he said, and 'it's clear' that Kenyan security officials 'haven't cleared the building fully.' Kenyan government spokesman Manoah Esipisu said the country's president would make an address to the nation later in the day but said he could give no immediate details on the operation. Flames and dark plumes of smoke rose Monday above the Westgate shopping complex for more than an hour after four large explosions rocked the surrounding neighborhood. The smoke was pouring through a large skylight inside the mall's main department and grocery store, where mattresses and other flammable goods appeared to have been set on fire, a person with knowledge of the rescue operation told The Associated Press. The explosions were followed by volleys of gunfire as police helicopters and a military jet circled overhead, giving the neighborhood the feel of a war zone. An armored personnel carrier sat in front of the building. By Monday evening, Kenyan security officials said they had claimed the upper hand. People run for cover after hearing gunshots near the Westgate shopping mall, as the three-day siege drew to an end Smoke rises from the Westgate shopping centre in Nairobi following a string of explosions during the third day of a stand-off between Kenyan security forces and gunmen inside the building Kenya's Interior Minister Joseph Ole Lenku said the evacuation of hostages had gone 'very, very well' and that Kenyan officials were 'very certain' that few if any hostages were left in the building. But with the mall cordoned off and under heavy security it was not possible to independently verify the assertions. Similar claims of a quick resolution were made by Kenyan officials on Sunday and the siege continued. Authorities have also not provided any details on how many hostages were freed or how many still remain captive. Three attackers were killed in the fighting Monday, Kenyan authorities said, and more than 10 suspects arrested. Eleven Kenyan soldiers were wounded in the running gun battles. An Al Shabaab spokesman, Rage, said in the audio file that the attackers had been ordered to 'take punitive action against the hostages' if force was used to try to rescue them. Volunteers run for cover after hearing a volley of gunshots at the scene of the siege A Western security official in Nairobi who insisted on not being named to share information about the rescue operation said the only reason the siege hadn't yet ended would be because hostages were still inside. Westgate mall, a vast complex with multiple banks that have secure vaults and bulletproof glass partitions, as well as a casino, is difficult to take, the official said. 'They are not made for storming,' he said of the labyrinth of shops, restaurants and offices. 'They're made to be unstormable.' The massacre began on Saturday shortly before midday local time. Witnesses told how terrorists with faces hidden by Islamic scarves stormed the building, tossing grenades and spraying shoppers with AK-47s. Yesterday pictures emerged online that appeared to show the moment gunmen entered the shopping centre, pointing their weapons at terrified civilians. The killers, who were dressed in Western clothes, ordered all Muslims to leave, before carrying out rudimentary tests to see if hostages could recite the Koran and name the mother of the Prophet Mohammed. Military forces take position inside a shopping mall following the attack by masked gunmen in Nairobi Sporadic gun shots could be heard hours after the assault started as soldiers surrounded the mall and police and soldiers combed the building People help a wounded man outside the Westgate shopping mall, as 69 people were slaughtered by the terrorists Her son, 12, and daughter, 8, were injured as gunmen opened fire. She said adults ‘were like animals, climbing over the children to get out'. A Twitter account representing Al Shabaab, the group claiming responsibility for the attack, said it was carried out by terrorists from seven nations, including Britain, the US and Canada. The group has recently split into two factions following bloody infighting. Those not involved in the Nairobi attack are said to be spreading false information, raising questions over the veracity of initial reports that Londoners Ahmed Nasir Shirdoon, 24, and Liban Adam, 23, are among the gunmen. Kenya's Chief of Defence Forces, General Julius Karangi, said fighters from several countries had participated in the attack, but would not specify which ones. ‘We have an idea who they are, their nationality and even the number,' he said, adding that the militants were ‘clearly a multinational collection from all over the world'. ‘We have also have an idea that this is not a local event,' he said. ‘We are fighting global terrorism here and we have sufficient [intelligence] to suggest that.' At least three of the terrorists were killed, he added, after Kenyan forces moved into the five-storey complex, which was filled with some 1,200 people when it was stormed by three heavily armed groups on Saturday. Kenyans were last night bracing themselves for further terror attacks after it was claimed dozens more militants from the organisation had bribed their way into the country. A spokesman for Al Shabaab said all Britons in Kenya are ‘legitimate' targets because the UK has supported the African country's military intervention in neighbouring Somalia. Yesterday David Cameron returned early from Balmoral, where he had been staying with the Queen, to chair an emergency Cobra meeting with Cabinet colleagues including Deputy Prime Minister Nick Clegg, Chancellor George Osborne and Defence Secretary Philip Hammond. Our saviour: A soldier helps two women to safety. His identity has been protected for security reasons Horror: Shoppers hurry down an escalator with their hands in the air as they make their way out of the shopping centre to safety Safety: Shoppers and shop assistants raise their hands as they are escorted out by armed police Terrified: A young girl in tears is led away form the terror by a police officer One security officer said the mall had been turned into ‘an abattoir' within half an hour, as gunmen went on the rampage. Militants have reportedly burned their victims' faces and removed their hands in an attempt to conceal their identities; the bodies were piled against the main door to slow the progress of rescue teams. Yesterday reports emerged online that an injured woman trapped inside had been sexually abused at gunpoint in front of young hostages. It is believed that she has been shot in the shoulder, while her child has been killed. Details of the incident were posted hundreds of times on Facebook. The woman is said to have been able to speak several times with her husband, who is outside the shopping centre - but last night he had heard nothing from her for several hours. Another witness, Kamille Kaur, was with several dozen children for a cookery competition on the mall's second floor when the attack began.

When you think of army food, unappetising tins of suspicious meat and freeze-dried powders in pouches are what spring to mind rather than gourmet meals. But a captivating new photo series has given sad-looking rations the Michelin star treatment, transforming them into stunning fine dining dishes. The project used MREs - what the military call their 'meals ready-to-eat' - from all over the world, including the United States, China, France and Russia. Scroll down for video The photo series - 'From MRE to Michelin' - shows how even sad-looking army rations can be transformed into fine dining dishes worthy of a Michelin star restaurant. Left: A Russian bag of rations, and right: noodles with tuna with a sweet chilli lime sauce This dish wouldn't look out of place at any Michelin star restaurant - but it's actually pork brain with potato stew and beef and a red sauce out of an army ration pack A French army ration pack in its entirety - one of several from around the world that the creators used for the photo series. The French ration pack contains chocolate muesli (top centre), crackers (left centre), risotto with pork and mushrooms (second from right in centre), nougat bars (left) and fish soup (top left) Photographed before and after their transformations, bland vacuum-packed packages have been turned into elegant meals and shot on clean plates next to delicate accompaniments. The small amount of food in army ration packs suits the world of haute cuisine surprisingly well, as tiny portions are a staple of the fine dining world. The series - called 'From MRE to Michelin' - was created by food photographer Henry Hargreaves, videographer Jimmy Pham, and chef Chuck George, who all live in New York. RELATED ARTICLES Share this article Share It looks draws attention to how some of the bravest men and women in the world are fed before they go into battle.

Gunmen Gave Two Children Mars Bars Before Sparing Their Lives During K

The child told one of the terrorists that he was a 'very bad man' as he protected his mother who had been shot in the leg, and six-year-old sister. Incredibly, the attacker took pity on the family and bizarrely handed the children Mars bars before telling them: 'Please forgive me, we are not monsters.' His story emerged as sporadic gunfire continued to ring out from inside the mall early today as Kenyan security forces battled Al Qaeda-linked terrorists into a fourth day. Despite Kenyan police assurances that they had taken control of the building, a security expert with contacts inside the mall said at least 10 hostages were still being held by a band of attackers, possibly as many as 13. Kenya's foreign minister Amina Mohamed said 'two or three' Americans and one British woman were among those who attacked the Westgate shopping mall in Nairobi. Amazing courage: The four-year-old boy with his sister, six, stands holding a Mars bar given to him by a terrorist outside the Westgate shopping centre in Nairobi His mother told of her family's terrifying escape from Al Shabaab terrorists who butchered 62 people in the Nairobi shopping centre. The film producer had been queuing to buy milk in Nairobi's Westgate Shopping Centre when the militants struck. She hid under a cold meat counter in the Nakumatt supermarket for an hour-and-a-half with her children beneath her before terrorists finally found them and shot her in the thigh. RELATED ARTICLES Share this article Share The children's uncle told 'They had a lucky escape. The terrorists said if any of the kids were alive in the supermarket they could leave. 'Their mother made the decision to stand up and say "yes".' 'My nephew started arguing with them and called them bad men. He was very brave.' After discovering the advertising producer was of French origin, the men began to plead with her and claimed that the Muslim faith ‘was not a bad one'. ‘He told me I had to change my religion to Islam and said "do you forgive us? Do you forgive us?', the mother told The Independent. ‘Naturally, I was going to say whatever they wanted and they let us go'. Bizarrely, the terrorists handed the children Mars bars before they fled with two other children, including a 12-year-old boy who had at first refused to leave his dead mother. The fate of 20 others who had taken refuge under the meat counter is unknown. The family's escape is particularly astonishing in light of the indiscriminate slaughter of men, women and children throughout the mall after Al Shabaab launched their assault on Saturday. Ominous: A picture purportedly showing gunmen brandishing AK47s entering the mall Civilians running for cover in the shopping mall after the masked attackers opened fire Two children and a woman hide behind a bar inside the shopping mall in the hope they won't be found by the gunmen Early today, sporadic gunfire rang out from inside the mall as Kenyan security forces battled Al Qaeda-linked terrorists into a fourth day in what they said was a final push to rescue the last few hostages in a siege that has left more than 60 people dead. 'Taken control of all the floors. We're not here to feed the attackers with pastries but to finish and punish them,' Kenyan police Inspector General David Kimaiyo said on Twitter. Despite Kenyan government assurances of success, an explosion and gunfire could be heard coming from the mall at around 6.30am, followed by the sustained chatter of automatic weapons for about a minute almost three hours later, according to Associated Press reporters at the scene. Security forces carried a body out of the mall, which remained on fire, with flames and smoke visible. A Kenyan soldier wearing bomb disposal protective gear also exited the building. On patrol: Kenyan soldiers patrol near the Westgate mall, where sporadic gunfire continued to ring out early on Tuesday as the siege entered a fourth day Under control? Despite Kenyan police assurances that they had taken control of the building, a security expert with contacts inside the mall said at least 10 hostages were still being held by a band of attackers 'Like an abattoir': A Kenyan soldier prepares to enter the Westgate Mall, where miltants reportedly burnt the faces of their victims and cut off their hands to prevent them being identified Horrific: It was reported that a woman had been sexually abused at gunpoint in front of young hostages While the government announced Sunday that 'most' hostages had been released, a security expert with contacts inside the mall said at least 10 were still being held by a band of attackers, described as 'a multinational collection from all over the world.' A spokesman for the Foreign Office told MailOnline they had not received confirmation that the siege had ended. Somalia's rebel group Al-Shabaab, which claimed responsibility for the attack, posted an audio message on a pro-militant website late Monday that they were still in control of the building. 'Despite botched attempts by the Jews and Christians to recapture the mall today, the mujahideen are still in control of the Westgate,' al-Shabab spokesman Sheik Ali Mohamud Rage said in the message. 'The upper hand still remains theirs,' he said. Regular updates: Tweets from an account purportedly representing the Al Shabaab terror group claimed on Tuesday that the gunmen were still holding their ground Drama: A television reporter makes a telephone call while filming during a bout of heavy gunfire shortly after dawn on Tuesday at the Westgate centre Kenya's foreign minister Amina Mohamed said up to three Americans and one British woman were among the terrorists. Britain's foreign office said it was aware of the foreign minister's remarks, but would not confirm if a British woman was involved. The attacker from Britain was a woman who has 'done this many times before,' Mohamed said which lends weight to speculation that the so-called 'White Widow' Samantha Lewhwaite may have taken part in the raid. British Defense Secretary Philip Hammond said there had been six British deaths and the number could rise. An artistic director from Leicester said four of his relatives were killed as they took part in a television programme called Masterchef Junior. Samir Bhamra told The Times: 'They were young people... unfortunately they have all passed away. It's a very difficult time.' Meanwhile, a British woman told how she crawled to safety with her seven-month-old baby in her arms after masked gunmen stormed a cafe. Bethan Rayner, 35, who grabbed daughter Hani during a break in the gunfire, told The Sun: 'It was terrifying. We are still in shock.' U.S. officials said they were looking into whether any Americans were involved. State Department spokeswoman Jen Psaki said Monday that the department had 'no definitive evidence of the nationalities or the identities' of the attackers. The security expert, who insisted on anonymity to talk freely about the situation, said many hostages had been freed or escaped in the previous 24-36 hours, including some who were in hiding. Scouring the area: Kenyan security personnel patrol near the Westgate mall in Nairobi Heavy response: A Kenya Defence Forces armoured military vehicle drives to the Westgate shopping centre after an exchange of gunfire inside the mall early on Tuesday However, there were at least 30 hostages when the assault by al-Shabab militants began Saturday, he said, and 'it's clear' that Kenyan security officials 'haven't cleared the building fully.' Kenyan government spokesman Manoah Esipisu said the country's president would make an address to the nation later in the day but said he could give no immediate details on the operation. Flames and dark plumes of smoke rose Monday above the Westgate shopping complex for more than an hour after four large explosions rocked the surrounding neighborhood. The smoke was pouring through a large skylight inside the mall's main department and grocery store, where mattresses and other flammable goods appeared to have been set on fire, a person with knowledge of the rescue operation told The Associated Press. The explosions were followed by volleys of gunfire as police helicopters and a military jet circled overhead, giving the neighborhood the feel of a war zone. An armored personnel carrier sat in front of the building. By Monday evening, Kenyan security officials said they had claimed the upper hand. People run for cover after hearing gunshots near the Westgate shopping mall, as the three-day siege drew to an end Smoke rises from the Westgate shopping centre in Nairobi following a string of explosions during the third day of a stand-off between Kenyan security forces and gunmen inside the building Kenya's Interior Minister Joseph Ole Lenku said the evacuation of hostages had gone 'very, very well' and that Kenyan officials were 'very certain' that few if any hostages were left in the building. But with the mall cordoned off and under heavy security it was not possible to independently verify the assertions. Similar claims of a quick resolution were made by Kenyan officials on Sunday and the siege continued. Authorities have also not provided any details on how many hostages were freed or how many still remain captive. Three attackers were killed in the fighting Monday, Kenyan authorities said, and more than 10 suspects arrested. Eleven Kenyan soldiers were wounded in the running gun battles. An Al Shabaab spokesman, Rage, said in the audio file that the attackers had been ordered to 'take punitive action against the hostages' if force was used to try to rescue them. Volunteers run for cover after hearing a volley of gunshots at the scene of the siege A Western security official in Nairobi who insisted on not being named to share information about the rescue operation said the only reason the siege hadn't yet ended would be because hostages were still inside. Westgate mall, a vast complex with multiple banks that have secure vaults and bulletproof glass partitions, as well as a casino, is difficult to take, the official said. 'They are not made for storming,' he said of the labyrinth of shops, restaurants and offices. 'They're made to be unstormable.' The massacre began on Saturday shortly before midday local time. Witnesses told how terrorists with faces hidden by Islamic scarves stormed the building, tossing grenades and spraying shoppers with AK-47s. Yesterday pictures emerged online that appeared to show the moment gunmen entered the shopping centre, pointing their weapons at terrified civilians. The killers, who were dressed in Western clothes, ordered all Muslims to leave, before carrying out rudimentary tests to see if hostages could recite the Koran and name the mother of the Prophet Mohammed. Military forces take position inside a shopping mall following the attack by masked gunmen in Nairobi Sporadic gun shots could be heard hours after the assault started as soldiers surrounded the mall and police and soldiers combed the building People help a wounded man outside the Westgate shopping mall, as 69 people were slaughtered by the terrorists Her son, 12, and daughter, 8, were injured as gunmen opened fire. She said adults ‘were like animals, climbing over the children to get out'. A Twitter account representing Al Shabaab, the group claiming responsibility for the attack, said it was carried out by terrorists from seven nations, including Britain, the US and Canada. The group has recently split into two factions following bloody infighting. Those not involved in the Nairobi attack are said to be spreading false information, raising questions over the veracity of initial reports that Londoners Ahmed Nasir Shirdoon, 24, and Liban Adam, 23, are among the gunmen. Kenya's Chief of Defence Forces, General Julius Karangi, said fighters from several countries had participated in the attack, but would not specify which ones. ‘We have an idea who they are, their nationality and even the number,' he said, adding that the militants were ‘clearly a multinational collection from all over the world'. ‘We have also have an idea that this is not a local event,' he said. ‘We are fighting global terrorism here and we have sufficient [intelligence] to suggest that.' At least three of the terrorists were killed, he added, after Kenyan forces moved into the five-storey complex, which was filled with some 1,200 people when it was stormed by three heavily armed groups on Saturday. Kenyans were last night bracing themselves for further terror attacks after it was claimed dozens more militants from the organisation had bribed their way into the country. A spokesman for Al Shabaab said all Britons in Kenya are ‘legitimate' targets because the UK has supported the African country's military intervention in neighbouring Somalia. Yesterday David Cameron returned early from Balmoral, where he had been staying with the Queen, to chair an emergency Cobra meeting with Cabinet colleagues including Deputy Prime Minister Nick Clegg, Chancellor George Osborne and Defence Secretary Philip Hammond. Our saviour: A soldier helps two women to safety. His identity has been protected for security reasons Horror: Shoppers hurry down an escalator with their hands in the air as they make their way out of the shopping centre to safety Safety: Shoppers and shop assistants raise their hands as they are escorted out by armed police Terrified: A young girl in tears is led away form the terror by a police officer One security officer said the mall had been turned into ‘an abattoir' within half an hour, as gunmen went on the rampage. Militants have reportedly burned their victims' faces and removed their hands in an attempt to conceal their identities; the bodies were piled against the main door to slow the progress of rescue teams. Yesterday reports emerged online that an injured woman trapped inside had been sexually abused at gunpoint in front of young hostages. It is believed that she has been shot in the shoulder, while her child has been killed. Details of the incident were posted hundreds of times on Facebook. The woman is said to have been able to speak several times with her husband, who is outside the shopping centre - but last night he had heard nothing from her for several hours. Another witness, Kamille Kaur, was with several dozen children for a cookery competition on the mall's second floor when the attack began.

Ghana's ministry of information said Awoonor's son was injured and is responding to treatment. Awoonor's work drew its inspiration from the traditions of his native Ewe tribe. Ghana's poetry foundation said on its website that Awoonor went into exile after Ghana's first president, Kwame Nkrumah, was driven out in a coup in 1966.

The World apos;s Best Brunches Revealed

2022-12-22T23:15:12Z

DavidSsw73107:

Usually featuring eggs, pancakes and a variety of pastries, brunch offerings become more lively when you start to incorporate international ingredients into the late morning-early afternoon repast. And once shunned as the meal for those too lazy to wake up in time for breakfast, nowadays brunch is no longer a slapdash affair as more effort, care, time and imagination is put into making it. Add to this the proliferation of eateries specialising in the meal, and the recent trend for bottomless brunches (where for an added price, you can drink as much alcohol as you want with your eggs), and it comes as no surprise that brunch is doing brisk business indeed. Japanese brunch of rice, miso soup, grilled sardines, egg and vegetables Kaya toast, which is eaten in Malaysia and Singapore, can be dipped in a bowl of egg or enjoyed its own But lest you think brunch is a meal confined to the West, think again. Asian interpretations feature everything from rice and soups to spiced omelettes and deep-fried dough stick (crullers). In Japan brunch is a mini smorgasbord, Japanese-style. Rice is a must-have, as is common in many Asian cuisines, but the heart of the spread is the thin but rich miso broth. Other dishes which feature include butterflied sardines, pickled daikon, carrot and cabbage. RELATED ARTICLES Share this article Share The quintessential brunch element, the avocado is elevated to a whole new level as chefs in Melbourne combine simple ingredients and fresh flavours to create a modern Australian classic. Shakshouka, a gorgeously rich dish of baked eggs in a thick tomato and pepper sauce, is a brunch staple in Israel and North Africa. Restaurants in Israel often serve it in the pan it's cooked in, with bread, salad and homemade pesto or garlic butter but if you're making this dish at home you could add other ingredients such as sausage, cheese or feta to customise your dish. In China, brunch is usually a couple of crullers or youtiao, made from two joined strips of dough which has been proved overnight, deep-fried and then lightly salted. The crullers are crispy on the outside and beautifully soft within; and it really comes into its own when dipped in hot coffee or rice porridge as it soaks up all the flavours of the liquids A Korean grill spread of raw meats on a hot plate served with various pickles and side dishes Thin translucent noodles made from sweet potato starch form the basis of Korea's much-loved Japchea, a dish light dish cooked with beef, shiitake mushrooms, peppers, carrots and spinach . The noodles are tossed in sesame oil, which makes them extra slippery so it's best to ditch the chopsticks and opt for a fork if you're a novice. In Malaysia and Singapore, kaya, which translates to rich in Malay, is a sweet spread made with sugar, eggs and coconut, which can sometimes be infused with the flavour of pandan (screwpine) leaves. Traditionally cooked over a low flame until the mixture thickens, a pandan-infused spread is a smooth, pale green whilst the ones made with just coconut is dark brown. Spread over hot, buttered toast, kaya can be eaten on its own or dipped into a bowl of half boiled eggs. It also forms the filling for rolls, buns, cakes and even ice-creams. In Sri Lanka, pan rolls are eaten at all times of the day and so cannot be considered a strictly brunch dish. However there is something about their versatility which makes them an ideal mid-morning snack. A man cooks idlis - steamed rice flour cakes - in Southern India These stuffed pancakes are lightly fried and stuffed with myriad of filling including spiced meat or vegetables. Staying with spice, eggs are given a fiery kick with the addition of chilli powder in this Indian version of an omelette which is served with bread rolls. But it's not all about Indian heat as the subcontinent's other brunch staple, the idli, is gentle on the palate. Made from steamed rice flour, these patties are the perfect receptacle for chutneys and curries. In the southern American states, grits, which is a porridge made from boiled-down stone-milled corn, is topped with shrimp which has been stewed with bacon or ham is served for brunch. The hearty meal can be accompanied with smoky bacon,sharp cheeses or tart tomatoes. Femail has picked ten of our favorite brunch recipes from new book, , where to find them and how to make them, which can be easily recreated at home. The book collects the best mid-morning meals from all over the world and comes with detailed notes on their origin and the best places to sample the dishes as well as more than 100 recipes. RECIPES: MAKE THE WORLD'S BEST BRUNCHES AT HOME Smashed avocado on toast from the Melbourne brunch scene Japanese Brunch Ingredients for the beansprout pickles: One spring onion, cut into finger lengths and finely sliced lengthways; one cup bean sprouts; half a teaspoon of salt; three tablespoons rice vinegar; one tablespoon mirin For the rice: One cup Japanese short grain rice; water For the miso: Two cups dashi stock; quarter cup miso paste; two tablespoons torn nori strips; half cup cup diced soft tofu For the grilled fish: Two sardines, butterflied and filleted(ask your fishmonger to do this if you prefer); one teaspoon vegetable oil; a small dish of soy sauce and a whole egg, to serve (optional) Method: To make the beansprout pickles, combine the spring onions and sprouts in a bowl. Mix together the salt, vinegar and mirin in a bowl, then drizzle it over the sprouts and spring onions. Leave to stand for at least 30 minutes. To prepare the rice, place it in a small pan and add enough cold water to fill the pan to about a finger's width above the level of the rice. Cover the pan and bring the water to the boil over a medium heat. Turn the heat to low and cook the rice, covered, for 20 to 25 minutes. Turn off the heat. Fluff up the rice with a fork and leave it to stand with the lid on. To make the miso, heat the dashi in a pan, but don't boil it. Add half a cup of the heated dashi to the miso paste in a cup and combine. Add the mixture to the dashi remaining in the pan and stir gently. Add the nori, then the tofu to the pan. Keep the soup warm. To cook the fish, place a heavy pan over a high heat. Once the pan is very hot, add the oil and then the sardines skin-side down. Cook the fish for one minute, then turn them over and cook them for 30 seconds. Transfer the fish to kitchen paper to rest for a few minutes. To serve, place each item in a separate dish on a tray. Add a small dish of soy sauce and a whole egg in a separate dish, if you like. When you are ready to eat, crack the egg into its serving bowl, whisk in some soy sauce and pour the mixture over the rice. Smashed Avocado on Sourdough Ingredients: One medium avocado; one tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil; squeeze of lemon juice, to taste; salt and ground black pepper, to taste; chilli flakes, to taste (optional); four slices thick sourdough, toasted; one to two tablespoons white wine vinegar; four fresh eggs; 80g goat's cheese or feta,roughly diced; one tablespoon dukkah (Egyptian seed mix); one tablespoon fresh mint (or a herb of your choice), finely chopped; two tablespoons tomato or beetroot relish to serve Method: Roughly mash the avocado, olive oil, lemon juice, salt and pepper and chilli flakes (if using) together using a fork. Divide the mixture into four portions and spread each thickly on a slice of toasted sourdough. To poach the eggs, bring about 10cm of water to a simmer in a pan. Add the white vinegar to the water and stir until a whirlpool forms. Crack an egg into a cup or a ramekin. Slide the egg into the centre of the whirlpool, folding the edges of the whites inwards to keep the egg together and to form a spherical shape. Repeat with the remaining eggs, so they are all in the water. Cook the eggs for three to four minutes, until the white are set but the yolks are still runny. Carefully lift out the eggs with a slotted spoon and place them on kitchen paper to dry. Sprinkle the cheese over the avocado mixture on each slice of sourdough toast. Sprinkle with dukkah and chopped fresh herbs. Top each portion with a poached egg. Season with salt and pepper. Serve with relish on the side, and enjoy immediately. Chinese crullers are deep fried sticks of dough which are best dipped into hot coffee or rice porridge Shakshouka Ingredients: One and a half tablespoons olive oil; one small onion, sliced; one large red bell pepper, seeded and thinly sliced; two garlic cloves, thinly sliced; half a teaspoon ground cumin; half a teaspoons paprika; Cayenne pepper to taste; 400g canned whole plum tomatoes with juice, roughly chopped; salt and ground black pepper, to taste; four eggs; chopped coriander to garnish; fresh bread to serve (optional) four eggs chopped coriander, to garnish; fresh bread, to serve (optional) Method: Preheat the oven to 190°C (375°F). Heat the oil in a large ovenproof frying pan over a medium heat. Add the onion and bell pepper. Reduce the heat to low and cook the onion and pepper, stirring occasionally, for about 20 minutes, until soft. Add the garlic and cook for a further three to four minutes, until softened. Stir in the cumin, paprika and cayenne pepper and cook one minute. Pour the tomatoes into the frying pan. Season the mixture with salt and pepper. Simmer the mixture for about 10 minutes, until the sauce has thickened. Using the back of a spoon, create four hollows in the sauce for the eggs to sit in. Gently crack the eggs into the frying pan over the tomatoes. Add more salt and pepper to taste. Transfer the frying pan to the oven. Bake for seven to 10 minutes, until the eggs are set. Sprinkle with coriander and serve immediately, with fresh bread if you like. Indian Masala Omelette Ingredients: Four eggs; two tablespoons milk; two large onions, peeled and finely chopped; two green chillies, finely chopped (seeded if you prefer a less fiery omelette); half a red bell pepper, seeded and finely chopped; one tomato, finely chopped; handful fresh coriander leaves, finely chopped; quarter teaspoon ground black pepper; quarter teaspoon ground turmeric; half teaspoon garam masala; ghee (clarified butter) or vegetable oil, for frying salt, to taste; toasted white bread, crusts removed, to serve Indian chai (tea), to serve Method: Beat together the eggs and milk in a large bowl until the mixture is light and fluffy. Add the chopped vegetables and spices to the bowl and stir gently to combine everything thoroughly. Heat the ghee or oil over a medium-high heat in a frying pan or omelette pan. As soon as the fat is hot, turn down the heat to medium. Add half the omelette mixture to the pan, swirling it around so that it completely covers the surface of the pan. Cook the omelette for two to three minutes, until the underside is lightly browned. Flip the omelette over using a spatula. Cook the other side for two to three minutes, until is browned. Slip the omelette on to a plate and keep it warm while you make the second omelette in the same way. Serve the omelettes with unbuttered white bread toast and cups of Indian chai (tea). Chinese cruller Ingredients: Four cups all-purpose flour; half teaspoon salt; quarter teaspoon baking soda; one teaspoon sugar; half treason dried yeast; one cup water; vegetable oil, for deep-frying; hot soy milk, tea, coffee, hot chocolate or melted chocolate spread, to serve Method: Sift together the flour, salt and bicarb soda (baking soda) in a large bowl. Dissolve the sugar and yeast in a little of the water in a separate bowl. Add the yeast mixture to the dry ingredients. Add the water a little at a time, kneading everything together, until you achieve a soft dough that isn't too sticky to roll. Oil the bowl and return the dough to it. Cover the bowl with cling film and leave the dough to ferment for 20 minutes at room temperature. Place the bowl in the fridge and leave the dough to prove overnight. When you are ready to use the dough, bring it up to room temperature. Roll out the dough on a lightly floured surface into a wide 1cm-thick (⅓in-thick) strip. Slice this strip crossways into thick slices. Score down the middle of each strip with a moistened chopstick, taking take not to cut right through the dough. Pour enough oil in a deep-frying pan or wok to come about halfway up the sides. Heat the oil over a medium-high heat until the surface shimmers. Pull each dough strip out to about the length of your forearm. Carefully lower each dough strip into the hot oil. As soon as the dough puffs up and floats to the surface, roll it over to brown it on both sides. Remove the youtiao using a slotted spoon and leave it to drain on a piece of kitchen paper. Repeat the cooking process until all the dough is cooked. Serve the warm youtiao with hot soy milk, tea, coffee or, for a European twist, hot chocolate or melted chocolate spread. Grits - type of porridge made from boiled down stone-milled corn - topped with shrimp Kaya Toast Ingredients: Three pandan leaves (fresh or frozen); three to four eggs; 150g brown sugar; one cup coconut milk Method: First make the kaya. Wash the pandan leaves and cut off the ends. Tie the pandan leaves in knots and set to one side. Whisk the eggs in a large heatproof bowl. Add the sugar to the eggs. Whisk until the sugar has dissolved. Whisk in the coconut milk. Stir in the pandan leaves. Pour water to a depth of about 4cm into a pan and bring it to a simmer over a medium heat. Place the heatproof bowl over the pan and reduce the heat to its lowest setting. Stir the kaya mixture until the mixture thickens to a spreadable consistency. This may take up to two hours. Note: Don't be tempted to speed things up by increasing the heat of the water (which should never reach boiling point) and don't look away for more than a couple of minutes, as the mixture can easily curdle. Once the mixture is thick and smooth (it's said the way to tell a good batch of kaya is if when you put a spoon in it, it doesn't move), remove it from the heat immediately. Discard the pandan leaves. Leave the kaya to cool. Covered, the kaya will keep in the refrigerator for up to a week. When you are ready to eat kaya toast, grill two pieces of white bread on both sides until they turn a golden brown. Spread one slice of toast evenly with ample amounts of kaya. Spread lots of salted butter on the other piece of toast. Sandwich the two slices of toast together and cut in two. Serve immediately. Sri Lankan pan rolls with lamb Ingredients for the filling: One tablespoon vegetable oil; 450g minced lamb; one medium onion, finely chopped; two tablespoons garlic, grated; 5cm piece of fresh ginger, grated; 10 to 15 curry leaves, torn; one small stick of cinnamon; one carrot, finely grated; two green chillies, seeded and chopped; one tablespoon curry powder; half a teaspoon turmeric; half a teaspoon chilli flakes or powder; one tablespoon vinegar; two to four tablespoons soy sauce; one tablespoon finely chopped fresh mint leaves; salt and ground black pepper, to taste; juice of one lime; three potatoes, peeled, cooked and roughly mashed; two cups breadcrumbs; two cups vegetable oil For the pancakes: One cup plain flour; one cup self-raising flour; one teaspoon salt; one egg, lightly beaten; two cups cold water; one cup milk; one tablespoon vegetable oil, for cooking; vegetable oil, for deep-frying salad and sambol to serve Method: To make the pancakes, mix together the flours and salt in a large bowl and make a well in the middle. Pour in the egg, water and milk, whisking constantly, to form a smooth batter. Set aside. To make the filling, heat the oil in a large frying pan. Add the lamb, along with the onion, garlic, ginger, curry leaves, cinnamon stick and carrot. Cook the mixture over a medium heat for about 10 minutes, until the meat is browned. Stir in the chopped chilli, curry powder, turmeric and chilli powder or flakes. Continue cooking for three minutes, then stir in the vinegar, soy sauce, mint leaves and seasoning to taste. After one minute, take the frying pan off the heat and [https://weareliferuiner.com/korean-chocolate-milk-how-to-make/ https://weareliferuiner.com/korean-chocolate-milk-how-to-make/] pour in the lime juice. Allow the mixture to cool. Stir in the roughly mashed potato. To make the pancakes, heat the oil in a pancake pan. Add a ladleful of batter and swirl it round so it coats the surface of the pan. Cook the pancake for two to three minutes, until it is just set. Do not flip over the pancake. Place one-quarter of the filling mixture in a line down the middle of the pancake. Fold in the sides and wrap each pancake to form a roll while the pancake is still hot. Transfer the roll to a plate and repeat with enough of the pancake batter to make three more pancakes, using all of the filling mixture. Dip each pan roll in the remaining batter and then roll it in breadcrumbs. Pour the oil for deep-frying into a heavy pan until the oil is about 8cm deep. Heat the oil to 170°C (340°F) or until a cube of bread dropped in the oil browns in one minute. Carefully lower in the pan rolls using a slotted spoon and deep-fry them for one minute, or until the exterior is golden brown and crispy. Using a slotted spoon, remove the cooked pan rolls to kitchen paper to drain. Serve immediately with salad and sambol. Eggs get a hefty kick of spice with the Indian version of an omelette, made with chilli powder Shrimp and Grits Ingredients for the grits: One cup stone-ground grits; four cups milk; one tablespoon butter; salt and cracked black pepper to taste cheese (Gouda, Cheddar,mascarpone or goat), to taste (optional) For the shrimp: 675g jumbo shrimp, peeled and deveined (leave the tails on if you like); one teaspoon Old Bay seasoning (or mix your own with mustard powder, paprika, celery salt, a bay leaf, black pepper, crushed red pepper flakes, mace, cloves, allspice, nutmeg, cardamom, and ginger) juice of half a lemon; six slices Applewood smoked or other quality bacon, diced; four garlic cloves, minced; one cup in total of a combination of: diced peppers, diced onion and diced mushrooms (optional) For the garnishes: Green onion, chopped; fat-leaf parsley, chopped; tomato, diced; smoked paprika Method: To cook the grits, bring the milk to a gentle boil in a heavy pan.Slowly add the grits and reduce the heat to medium-low. Boil the grits long and slow - 30 minutes of more - whisking occasionally at first to avoid lumps, then frequently as they thicken. Take care that the grits don't catch on the bottom of the pan and burn! Remove the grits from the heat once they are thick and creamy. Add butter, salt, pepper and optional cheese to finish. Set aside. To cook the shrimp, season them with Old Bay seasoning and lemon juice and set aside. Heat a skillet (frying pan) over a medium-high heat. Add the bacon and saute for ten to 12 minutes, until the fat is rendered. Remove the bacon from the skillet (frying pan) and set it aside. Drain all but two tablespoons of the fat from the skillet (frying pan). Reduce the heat to medium and add the garlic. Cook for three to four minutes, until it browns slightly. Add vegetables of your choice and cook until just tender. Add the shrimp and saute for three to four minutes, until they are pink. Return the bacon to the skillet (frying pan) and remove the pan from the heat. To serve, scoop one cup of grits into each of four shallow bowls. Divide the shrimp mixture among the bowls. Garnish with whichever combination of green onion, tomato, parsley, or smoked paprika you favour that day. Kaya toast with white bread and butter Idli with Coconut Chutney For the idli: Three cups rice; one cup dal (black gram); two and a half cups water; half a teaspoon fenugreek seeds; one teaspoon salt; pinch of sugar For the coconut chutney: One fresh coconut; quarter cup roasted chickpeas (if you can't find these already roasted, drain a can of chickpeas, toss them in olive oil and bake on a tray at 200ºC (400ºF) for 30 minutes, or until crispy); two green chillies, finely chopped; one tablespoon finely chopped fresh ginger; one fresh coriander sprig, finely chopped; juice of half a lime; one tablespoon coconut oil. Method: Rinse the rice thoroughly and leave it to soak in a bowl of water for a minimum of two hours. In a separate bowl of water, leave the dal and fenugreek seeds to soak for about two hours. Drain the dal and transfer it to a blender. Grind it, gradually adding about half to three quarter cups of water until you have a smooth and foamy paste. Transfer to a large bowl and set aside. Drain the rice and add it to the blender with the salt and sugar. Grind it, adding about one to one and half cups water little by little, until you have a smooth, pourable liquid. Add the rice paste to the dal paste in the bowl and combine. Cover with cling film and leave to stand for around 12 hours. Meanwhile, make the chutney. Carefully skewer one of the ‘eyes' of the coconut and drain the coconut water into a cup. Open up the coconut husk. Use a blunt knife to separate the brown husk from the coconut flesh, then place the flesh in a spice grinder or food processor with the chickpeas, chillies, ginger, coriander, lime juice and coconut oil. Grind or process the mixture, gradually adding just enough of the coconut water to achieve a smooth texture. After 12 hours, you should have a fluffy rice-and-dal batter. Without mixing it, pour ladlefuls into an idli mould. Add water to the pressure cooker to a depth of about 2.5cm and bring to the boil. Place the mould inside (ensuring your idli are above the waterline) and steam for about ten minutes until the batter has fully solidified. Alternatively you can cook idli in your microwave: grease a few small bowls with vegetable oil and pour in the batter. Cover and cook on high for about two minutes. If the mixture is still runny, give the idli an extra 30 seconds of cooking time. Transfer the cooked idli to a plate, and place a small bowl of coconut chutney in the centre. Eat immediately. Shakshouka, a dish of baked eggs in a thick tomato and pepper sauce, is a brunch staple in Israel and North Africa Japchae Ingredients: 170g Korean sweet potato starch noodles; 110g lean beef, such as sirloin; four to five shiitake mushrooms; 170g fresh spinach; salt and ground black pepper, to taste; one small carrot; one small onion; one small green bell pepper; two eggs, beaten; vegetable oil, for stir-frying; two teaspoons sesame seeds For the sauce: Three tablespoons soy sauce; 2 and a half tablespoons sugar; Two tablespoons sesame oil; Two teaspoons minced garlic Method: Combine all the ingredients for the sauce in a bowl and stir until the sugar is dissolved. Cook the noodles in boiling water according to the packet directions. Drain, rinse, and drain again. Cut them into 15cm lengths using scissors and place in a large bowl. Add two tablespoons of the sauce and combine. Cut the beef into thin 5cm strips. Place into a bowl and stir in one tablespoon of the sauce. Slice the mushrooms into quarter inch wide strips. Place the mushroom strips in a bowl and stir in one tablespoon of the sauce. Wilt the spinach in boiling water, then drain and rinse in cold water. Squeeze out excess water, cut into 5cm lengths and season. Cut the carrot, onion and green bell pepper into julienne strips and place each ingredient in a separate dish. Pour the beaten eggs into a lightly oiled frying pan and cook over a medium heat until just set. Flip over and cook until just solid, then remove to a plate and leave to cool. Cut it into matchstick strips. In a large non-stick frying pan, stir-fry the noodles over a medium heat for three to four minutes, until they are translucent and a bit sticky. Transfer back to the large bowl. Stir-fry the prepared carrots with 1 tsp oil in the frying pan over a medium heat for one to two minutes, then season. Repeat with the onion and green bell pepper, cooking them separately. After cooking, transfer each to the large bowl of noodles. Stir-fry the beef for one to two minutes until just cooked, and add to the noodles along with the spinach and the remaining sauce. Toss the mixture by hand to combine everything thoroughly. Adjust the seasoning by adding soy sauce and/or sugar. Dry-fry the sesame seeds over a medium heat until toasted. Transfer the noodle mixture to a serving dish, top with the sesame seeds and egg strips and serve at room temperature. "This extract is reproduced fromThe World's Best Brunches© Lonely Planet 2015.

Zoe Gillings: Bad Korea Move For Me As World Cup Event Cancelled

2022-12-22T23:14:30Z

DavidSsw73107:

ZOE GILLINGS BLOG: Bad Korea move for me as World Cup event cancelled following 30-hour journey By Updated: 10:03 AEDT, 13 February 2011 </a> I've just returned to my base in France from the latest competition in Korea, where we were supposed to have a World Cup Snowboard Cross competition. Unfortunately, having travelled 30 hours to the other side of the world, through six countries by several modes of transport, costing nearly £3000 the competition was cancelled! Snow but no competition: Zoe Gillings went a long way for nothing It was so frustrating. Myself and the rest of the athletes turned up on day one of the competition to the course, but we were told there was a 30 minute delay while they finished the course off. This isn't unusual, but after an hour or so had gone by, the coaches were called to a meeting at the bottom of the course. After a consultation with the race directors, the race was officially cancelled due to the course being unsafe. I have experienced competitions being cancelled previously, but not after we had turned up to the event. Usually, competitions are cancelled due to lack of snow, not due to a badly built course. The problem here was simply how and where the course was built. It became apparent quite quickly that the mountain selected to run the race on wasn't adequate. It was too thin and steep, so the bank turns had to be very tight meaning there wasn't enough space in the corners for more than one person. It probably would have been OK for one person to ride at a time, but when you have four people on the course racing it would have been very dangerous, especially if the person in the lead fell, because the others behind would have nowhere to go. World Cup Snowboard Cross competitions have suffered fatalities in the past and after seeing this course, I think this was the right decision. It is unlikely that we will be able to re-claim our expenses back, but I am going to have a go in any case. Due to the financial problems mentioned in previous blogs I had to choose to enter either the Korean or the Canadian World Cup. I did not have the finances to enter both. After weighing up all the options I decided to go for Korea. Boy am I regretting that now! I have to stay in Europe this coming week, while the rest of the World Cup athletes compete in Canada. It doesn't feel great. Pyeongchang has put a bid in to host the 2018 Winter Olympics. Right now it would be easy for me to complain about the venue after this week and say they shouldn't be allowed to host the Olympics. Relaxing times: Zoe Gillings on a rare moment of peace However, it is unclear at the moment whether the fault lies with FIS (Federation Internationale de Ski) or the resort itself, as both play a major role in building the course. From my point of view the venue would be fine to host the Olympics, but there obviously needs to be a lot of work done in the back ground to ensure something like this never happens again. Wherever the fault lies, it's not great for the athletes when you spend over £3000 on a competition that gets cancelled. Despite all the problems, I made the best I could of my time in Korea. The people there continued to be some of the most kind and generous I have ever met. Looks fishy: Zoe Gillings admires the sights in Korea More from Zoe Gillings for the Daily Mail... 07/04/12 24/03/12 17/03/12 10/03/12 03/03/12 25/02/12 19/02/12 11/02/12 04/02/12 I managed to get two days on snow training in which brings my total number of days training with my coach since the Olympics to five! I tried some more local specialities such as noodle filled spring rolls, lettuce that tastes like fish and cold grape flavoured soy milk which smelt like hot chocolate, but didn't taste like it. One thing that provided a bit of amusement was the toilets. They are designed to make toilet paper obsolete. Not easy to explain, but they are all electric, [https://weareliferuiner.com/korean-chocolate-milk-how-to-make/ https://weareliferuiner.com/korean-chocolate-milk-how-to-make/] even the seats and they shoot jets of water everywhere followed by a heated fan. It's very weird! As promised last week I have found out why the mountain was open and still busy all through the night. It's because the number of places in Korea where you can ski and snowboard, relative to the number of people who want to do it, is so small, that they keep the mountains open for as much time as they can to allow people to go at quieter times of the day. Like 1am. I've got four weeks till my next race now, so it is back to training and working on my business idea. adverts.addToArray({"pos":"inread_player"})Advertisement

15 New Restaurants Proving LA Is The Most Foodie Place On Earth

2022-12-22T23:14:18Z

DavidSsw73107:

When thinking about Los Angeles you may conjure up images of The Hollywood Sign, imagine celeb spotting in Beverly Hills, surfing at a beach in Malibu or sitting court-side at a Lakers game. Yet, while there are plenty of tourist attractions, an abundance of glamour, oodles of sunshine and plenty of sport, LA also offers a plethora of eateries for even the most discerning of diners. In fact, as can prove, it's the ultimate culinary destination. A number of new restaurants have changed the culinary landscape of LA in recent years, offering the most innovative, decedent and downright unusual dishes, taking inspiration from all around the globe. So here's our pick of 15 new restaurants, cafes, pop-ups and bakeries that will impress even the harshest of critics. Try not to drool. 1) BAROO Eat up: The kimchee fried rice at Baroo is not to be missed Opened as a 16-seat 'free-style experimental kitchen' by Chef-owner Kwang Uh last summer, Baroo has proved popular with the foodie crowd. Each of the Korean-inspired dishes are made with local sustainable and organic ingredients and although the menu is constantly being adapted, the kimchee fried rice, consisting of basmati rice, gremolata, pineapple jalapeno salsa, purple potato chip, roasted seaweed, toasted buckwheat and quinoa and micro greens, is a crowd-pleaser and looks set to stay. 2) ANDARE BY CENTRO La Dolce vita: Sample the best pasta at the Andare by Centro pop-up, at Birch If you're a pasta lover then you absolutely must sample the delights at the Andare by Centro pop-up, at Birch in Hollywood. Chef Avner Levi and Santos Uy, the people behind the Centro pasta bar at Mignon's Wine Bar in Downtown LA have brought their perfect carb creations central. The pop-up, which launched in November is only available weekdays at lunchtime but the ricotta gnocchi with ‘nduja is out of this world. 3) DESTROYER Breakfast, brunch and lunch: The milk chocolate, cucumber, lovage and buckwheat creation prove a winning combination For the best breakfasts around, as well as a reason to venture into Culver City as a tourist, check out Destroyer, by Chef Jordan Khan. Offering the beautiful and seriously Instagrammable dishes for breakfast, brunch and lunch, you can also takeaway, ensuring you'll have the prettiest picnic in Cali. Milk chocolate, cucumber, lovage and buckwheat prove a winning combination. 4) HONEY HI Break the fast! Tuck into delicious tartines at Honey Hi Delightful health café Honey Hi arrived in Echo park in October and it's fast become a firm favourite among the fit crowd and the not so fit. Their tartines come with a healthy twist, served on gluten-free buckwheat sourdough toast, and we'd suggest trying the seasonal chia jam offering with tahini, bee pollen and torn mint. Health never tasted so good. 5) MR HOLMES BAKEHOUSE Get baked: Head to Mr Holmes Bakehouse for the best baking creations that Los Angeles has to offer, including a delicious cruffin Three years ago the world went mad over cronuts, the croissant and doughnut bake, but the appeal of tasty hybrid snacks is still going strong. These days it's all about the cruffin, a croissant and doughnut blend, and the best can be found at Mr Holmes Bakehouse, which landed in Los Angeles from San Francisco in September. Head there for 9am for the first batch of the day. 6) CATCH Cheers! Enjoy a oyster shooter from Catch to kick start your meal in style The doors of Catch only opened in October but the likes of Cindy Crawford, Bono and Alessandra Ambrosio have already frequented the restaurant. The Los Angeles outpost of the eponymous popular New York eatery even played host to Kendall Jenner on her 21st birthday and it's not hard to see why it's so popular. This fishtopia is the place to see and be seen, but unlike other eateries the food doesn't disappoint and has attracted rave reviews in the few short weeks it's been in business. Why not a tequila watermelon or spicy bloody mary oyster shooter to kick start your meal with a bang? 7) BACOSHOP Snap up a sarnie: Enjoy Josef Centeno's signature bäco sandwiches at BACOSHOP There are sandwiches and then there are chef Josef Centeno's signature bäco sandwiches. Following on from Bäco Mercat success, Centeno has opened a new outpost in Culver City, bringing his dreamy flatbread creations to another part of town. By putting yoghurt he makes his bread wonderfully tender. A pit stop for any travelling sandwich enthusiast. 8) SHIBUMI Taste of the east: Eat up a storm at kappo-style Japanese restaurant Shibumi This kappo-style Japanese restaurant opened in Downtown LA in June, and has quite the following thanks to it simple aesthetic and delicious food. With chef David Schlosser at the helm, the eatery offers seemingly simple dishes that offer intense and incredible flavours. The cucumbers stuffed with shiso leaf, sesame seeds, umeboshi (pickled plums) and bonito (tuna) has proved a real hit. Order chilled plates of Santa Barbara raw shrimp & lobster cured In sake and apanese sea-bream sashimi, before moving on to hot dishes such as grilled heritage pork in koji, pickled daikon, leek or California holstein beef strip, with fresh wasabi and nara-zuke pickle. Oh, and be sure to check out the bar, it's made from 400-year-old Cypress wood. 9) HERE'S LOOKING AT YOU Look here! Here's Looking At You is a gem of a find in Koreatown serving Southern California-styled American food This mash-up restaurant in Koreatown opened up just a few weeks ago and it's already making headlines thanks to its innovative menu with Jonathan Whitener at the helm.

The 15 Wackiest Food Trends You ll Be Eating In 2016

2022-12-22T23:07:53Z

DavidSsw73107: ページの作成:「 We've had cronuts, we've had bone broth, and we've gorged ourselves on bao buns, so what on earth are we going to be eating this year? Well, prepare yourself, be…」

We've had cronuts, we've had bone broth, and we've gorged ourselves on bao buns, so what on earth are we going to be eating this year? Well, prepare yourself, because in 2016, things are getting EVEN wackier. From deep-fried insects to posh spam, even more exotic chilli sauces and turmeric, 2016 is set to test our taste buds like never before. It's not all cray cray though. Free from foods are continuing their unstoppable rise (Marks & Spencer has hugely expanded its range to include wheat-free flours and home-baking goodies) and Spam is back in vogue. Yes, really. So if you're an ambitious foodie and you like to keep abreast of food trends, read on. (Just make sure you know how to pronounce them before embarrassing yourself in front of a waiter). 1. Acai bowls Warming bowls of oatmeal (ie porridge, both sweet and savoury) are continuing their strong game in 2016, but now they have a competitor in the form of acai. A Brazilian super fruit, the acai berry (it's pronounced 'uh si ee') is served as frozen pulp in a bowl laden with other fruits, granola, chocolate chips and nuts. A frozen smoothie in a bowl, basically. Hearty, healthy, moreish, packed with nutrients and oh-so-hip, Google searches for 'acai bowls' have more than doubled this year. Fresh acai berries go off very quickly but you can buy frozen acai pulp in some specialist health shops, while powdered acai berry pulp is more easily available in high street health food stores. New trend: The Brazilian superfruit the acai is now served as frozen pulp in a bowl with other added treats 2. Free-from EVERYTHING! With more people trying to eliminate wheat from their diet due to gluten intolerances, free-from foods are having something of a moment. Most restaurants offer gluten-free options as standard, and supermarkets including Marks & Spencer even stock full gluten-free home-baking collections, meaning anyone with a wheat intolerance can bake their own treats without having to order special flours online. The newly expanded Made Without Wheat range from M&S - which previously featured pastas, breads, cakes, biscuits and sandwiches - now includes over 70 products including gluten-free self-raising flour and baking powder, and mixes for white bread, Victoria sponge, white sponge and granola. Helen Seward, M&S Nutritionist says: 'Information about our gluten free food is one of our top customer enquiries, so we know that a number of our shoppers are looking to avoid or reduce the amount of the gluten in their diet. 'As a result, we now have our biggest range yet for them to choose from, which allows our customers to bake at home with the family, pick up lunch on the go, create a delicious mid-week meals and choose ready-made options with our Made Without range.' In March, M&S will be adding desserts and ready meals to the Made Without Wheat range, allowing coeliacs to enjoy a number of classic British and Italian dishes, including spaghetti Bolognese, macaroni cheese, syrup sponge pudding, rhubarb crumble, apple pie, cheesecake and trifle. Gluten-free but love home baking? No problem - M&S has a new and expanded Made Without Wheat range 3. Turmeric Yes, you've used the odd pinch to flavour and colour your curries, but in 2016 you're going to be going for it in great big spoonfuls. Celebrity chef Gizzi Erskine is famous for her love of turmeric milk, also known as 'golden milk', a comforting hot drink made from turmeric and almond milk, and embellished with flavoursome ingredients such as coconut oil, cinnamon and honey. It's packed with antioxidants, iron, manganese and anti-inflammatory properties, and turmeric may even help stave off dementia. Used in curries, stews and smoothies, turmeric is bright orange and joyful, and preparing to knock ginger off its perch. Forget a little pinch of turmeric here and there - 2016 is all about great big spoonfuls of the stuff everywhere! 4. Kombucha Still drinking Earl Grey or PG Tips? Ah, you have a lot to learn. 2016 is set to be the year of kombucha, a fizzy, vinegary, non-alcoholic 'live tea' drink made by adding the scoby culture to tea. Being fermented, it's full of probiotics, so great for people with digestive problems. Some fashionable London serve kombucha flavoured with rose petal, lemongrass, nettle, Douglas fir pine and hibiscus. It can also be served inside an alcoholic cocktail instead of a less natural, and more sugary, mixer. 5. Ube Mash up purple Filipino yam, or ube, and use it like sweet potato in one of 2016's hottest new trends Take one deliciously sweet and unspeakably bright purple Filipino yam (that's the ube to you and me), boil it, mash it up, turn it into ice cream, doughnuts and cheesecake, and you've got yourself a hot new food trend. Similar to taro or sweet potato, it has been used since ancient times in cooking, and now it's back, adding bright splashes of colour, creamy textures and a glorious natural sweetness to all our happy plates. 6. Poké Move over sashimi. Budge up, ceviche. There's a new kid on the raw fish block and his name is poké (pronounced 'poh-kay'). A Hawaiian specialty, poké is a bit like sushi that's been jumping on a trampoline: cubes of raw seafood - particularly ahi tuna or salmon - marinated in a soy sauce and decorated with ingredients including sesame seeds, seaweed, avocado, cucumber, spring onion, mango, lotus chips, caviar, chilli pepper and edamame, then laid on a bed of rice or greens. Bright, fresh, full of vitamins, proteins and antioxidants, poké is big news on America's West Coast. In LA alone, you can get your poke fix in Mainland Poke, Sweetfin Poke, Ohana Poke Co, Poke Bar and Poke Stuff. 7. Throwaway bits Restaurateur Fergus Henderson is known for extolling the virtues of 'nose-to-tail' eating, ie if you're going to kill an animal for food, you should have the decency to eat the whole thing, from its bone marrow to its brain. Now it's the turn of vegetables. Particularly burnt vegetables. And fish. And any other bits that might otherwise be left in the scraps pile after service. Eco-conscious (and money-conscious) diners now want vegetables to take centre stage, and 'root-to-stalk' eating means we're eating more of the lovely crunchy beasts than ever before, chowing down on broccoli leaves, kale stems and sprout tops rather than leaving them to the rabbits. More and more 'vegetable-forward' restaurants - like Bruno Loubet's Grain Store in London - are making meat an afterthought, and doing things to vegetables that were previously unheard of - roasting whole cauliflowers, say, and charring baby leeks until they resemble coal. We know about nose-to-tail eating, but now it's the turn of vegetables - we're eating every last bit of them! 8. 'Nooch' Well-read vegans will already be acquainted with deactivated nutritional yeast (known on the streets as 'nooch'), but now we all want in. A deliciously cheesy, nutty, buttery powder loaded with umami flavour, use it as a condiment a bit like you would Parmesan. Sprinkled on salads, pasta dishes, popcorn and mashed potato, nooch is heavenly good and packed with vitamins, minerals, protein and fibre. Almost good enough to make us down steak knives. (Almost.) 'Nooch', or nutritional yeast, is a deliciously cheesy, nuttery buttery substance - use it as you do Parmesan! Fermented everything is big right now - these Hop Gherkins, left, and Fennel Beets, right, are £5 from M&S 9. Bugs Market holders in Bangkok have been barbequing cockroaches and worms for wide-eyed tourists for years, but now it's happening here. A great source of protein and VERY plentiful, bugs and insects are predicted to be big business in 2016, either crispy as snacks or ground up as flour and added to power bars. And the best bit? You've already got a garden full of them. Get foraging! 10. Koji Koji, a naturally occurring fermentation culture, is going to be used more in British kitchens in 2016 Fermented food is big business, with pickled vegetables, yoghurt, kefir, sourdough bread, artisan beer, sauerkraut and Korean kimchi (spicy fermented cabbage or radishes) appearing on menus all over the world and keeping our guts happy and healthy. In Japan koji is a naturally occurring fermentation culture (also known as Aspergillus oryzae) that is used to ferment rice and soya beans and make umami-rich things like soya sauce, miso, mirin and sake. Expect to see more of it being used in UK kitchens. 11. Chlorophyll Gym bunnies have been drinking liquid chlorophyll - the substance that makes plants green - for a while now, claiming the green goo is packed with magnesium, boosts metabolic function, aids digestion, cures bad breath and can prevent cancer. The new wheatgrass, if you will. Now, restaurants are adding it to desserts. Croft Alley in LA swirls it into yoghurt; full of antioxidants and oh-so easy on the eye. Chlorophyll, which is the substance that makes plants green, is being added to desserts in hip LA restaus Sriracha mayo (£4, M&S) and Wild Sumac (£3, M&S) can bring a touch of heat to your cooking in 2016 12. Sriracha effect This trend we love: #extrachillioneverything When it comes to spice, we know what we like, and that's the heat cranked up to 11. The craze for Thai Sriracha (see-rah-cha) hot sauce has stared a revolution on our tongues, with other ethnic chilli flavours such as Caribbean Scotch Bonnet, Korean gochujang, India's ghost pepper and North Africa's sumac, harissa and dukka finding their ways into our larders, fridges and red-hot fiery bellies. This is one trend we really love - #extrachillioneverything 13. Peasant fare Comfort food will go back to ye olde roots this year, with heart-warming meals like granny made making a comeback. Cheaper cuts of meat (brisket, beef cheek and bavette) will win out over fillet steaks, as will meatballs, sausages and slow-cooked stews. The rise of street food has made us all more adventurous, giving Eastern European grub like goulash, Polish pierogi (stuffed dumplings) and Jewish fare (chopped liver, pastrami toasties and matzoh ball soup) a chance to shine. Expect to see them all.... but often with a bit of a modern twist. Also, spam. Posh, deep fried as 'spam fries' or scattered on a bed of rice with seaweed like a sort of, well, spam sushi. Spamshi. We're not even kidding. Indulge in some proper comfort food with this M&S Gastropub Navarin of Lamb, £8 for 530g Thought this had gone away? Well think again, because posh 'Spam fries' are coming to a menu near you 14. Seaweed Mint choc chip and raspberry ripple are out, the new savoury ice cream flavours are what it's all about It's official: seaweed is the new kale. Whether it's wrapping up sushi, dressed with sesame in a Korean restaurant or dried and sprinkled on crisps as flavouring, we all want it. It's environmentally friendly, umami-rich and packed with fibre, antioxidants and 'good fats', and there's LOADS of it just hanging out in the sea. Consumers are munching it as strips (sometimes bacon flavoured) or eating it as a powder dusted on snacks. Popcorn company 479º do a mean seaweed and sesame variety. Just saying. 15. Savoury ice cream When it comes to ice cream, it's bad news for those of you with a sweet tooth. Mint choc chip and raspberry ripple are out, olive oil, Parmesan, Sichuan peppercorn, pine nut, goat's cheese, bread, Twiglets, Stilton, pretzels, soy sauce and even squid ink are in. (Though, blessedly, not all at the same time.) Olive oil makes ice cream beautifully creamy and rich, [https://weareliferuiner.com/korean-chocolate-milk-how-to-make/ weareliferuiner.com] and gives it a 'healthier', more nutrient-rich edge. Italians have been using it in their gelato for years, and now, ice cream parlours in the States (including Otto's Pizzeria and Morgenstern's in New York City and Lick in Texas) are getting in on the trick, offering flavours including goat cheese, thyme and honey and roasted beets and fresh mint.

Gunmen Gave Two Children Mars Bars Before Sparing Their Lives During K

The child told one of the terrorists that he was a 'very bad man' as he protected his mother who had been shot in the leg, and [https://weareliferuiner.com/korean-chocolate-milk-how-to-make/ weareliferuiner.com] six-year-old sister. Incredibly, the attacker took pity on the family and bizarrely handed the children Mars bars before telling them: 'Please forgive me, we are not monsters.' His story emerged as sporadic gunfire continued to ring out from inside the mall early today as Kenyan security forces battled Al Qaeda-linked terrorists into a fourth day. Despite Kenyan police assurances that they had taken control of the building, a security expert with contacts inside the mall said at least 10 hostages were still being held by a band of attackers, possibly as many as 13. Kenya's foreign minister Amina Mohamed said 'two or three' Americans and one British woman were among those who attacked the Westgate shopping mall in Nairobi. Amazing courage: The four-year-old boy with his sister, six, stands holding a Mars bar given to him by a terrorist outside the Westgate shopping centre in Nairobi His mother told of her family's terrifying escape from Al Shabaab terrorists who butchered 62 people in the Nairobi shopping centre. The film producer had been queuing to buy milk in Nairobi's Westgate Shopping Centre when the militants struck. She hid under a cold meat counter in the Nakumatt supermarket for an hour-and-a-half with her children beneath her before terrorists finally found them and shot her in the thigh. RELATED ARTICLES Share this article Share The children's uncle told 'They had a lucky escape. The terrorists said if any of the kids were alive in the supermarket they could leave. 'Their mother made the decision to stand up and say "yes".' 'My nephew started arguing with them and called them bad men. He was very brave.' After discovering the advertising producer was of French origin, the men began to plead with her and claimed that the Muslim faith ‘was not a bad one'. ‘He told me I had to change my religion to Islam and said "do you forgive us? Do you forgive us?', the mother told The Independent. ‘Naturally, I was going to say whatever they wanted and they let us go'. Bizarrely, the terrorists handed the children Mars bars before they fled with two other children, including a 12-year-old boy who had at first refused to leave his dead mother. The fate of 20 others who had taken refuge under the meat counter is unknown. The family's escape is particularly astonishing in light of the indiscriminate slaughter of men, women and children throughout the mall after Al Shabaab launched their assault on Saturday. Ominous: A picture purportedly showing gunmen brandishing AK47s entering the mall Civilians running for cover in the shopping mall after the masked attackers opened fire Two children and a woman hide behind a bar inside the shopping mall in the hope they won't be found by the gunmen Early today, sporadic gunfire rang out from inside the mall as Kenyan security forces battled Al Qaeda-linked terrorists into a fourth day in what they said was a final push to rescue the last few hostages in a siege that has left more than 60 people dead. 'Taken control of all the floors. We're not here to feed the attackers with pastries but to finish and punish them,' Kenyan police Inspector General David Kimaiyo said on Twitter. Despite Kenyan government assurances of success, an explosion and gunfire could be heard coming from the mall at around 6.30am, followed by the sustained chatter of automatic weapons for about a minute almost three hours later, according to Associated Press reporters at the scene. Security forces carried a body out of the mall, which remained on fire, with flames and smoke visible. A Kenyan soldier wearing bomb disposal protective gear also exited the building. On patrol: Kenyan soldiers patrol near the Westgate mall, where sporadic gunfire continued to ring out early on Tuesday as the siege entered a fourth day Under control? Despite Kenyan police assurances that they had taken control of the building, a security expert with contacts inside the mall said at least 10 hostages were still being held by a band of attackers 'Like an abattoir': A Kenyan soldier prepares to enter the Westgate Mall, where miltants reportedly burnt the faces of their victims and cut off their hands to prevent them being identified Horrific: It was reported that a woman had been sexually abused at gunpoint in front of young hostages While the government announced Sunday that 'most' hostages had been released, a security expert with contacts inside the mall said at least 10 were still being held by a band of attackers, described as 'a multinational collection from all over the world.' A spokesman for the Foreign Office told MailOnline they had not received confirmation that the siege had ended. Somalia's rebel group Al-Shabaab, which claimed responsibility for the attack, posted an audio message on a pro-militant website late Monday that they were still in control of the building. 'Despite botched attempts by the Jews and Christians to recapture the mall today, the mujahideen are still in control of the Westgate,' al-Shabab spokesman Sheik Ali Mohamud Rage said in the message. 'The upper hand still remains theirs,' he said. Regular updates: Tweets from an account purportedly representing the Al Shabaab terror group claimed on Tuesday that the gunmen were still holding their ground Drama: A television reporter makes a telephone call while filming during a bout of heavy gunfire shortly after dawn on Tuesday at the Westgate centre Kenya's foreign minister Amina Mohamed said up to three Americans and one British woman were among the terrorists. Britain's foreign office said it was aware of the foreign minister's remarks, but would not confirm if a British woman was involved. The attacker from Britain was a woman who has 'done this many times before,' Mohamed said which lends weight to speculation that the so-called 'White Widow' Samantha Lewhwaite may have taken part in the raid. British Defense Secretary Philip Hammond said there had been six British deaths and the number could rise. An artistic director from Leicester said four of his relatives were killed as they took part in a television programme called Masterchef Junior. Samir Bhamra told The Times: 'They were young people... unfortunately they have all passed away. It's a very difficult time.' Meanwhile, a British woman told how she crawled to safety with her seven-month-old baby in her arms after masked gunmen stormed a cafe. Bethan Rayner, 35, who grabbed daughter Hani during a break in the gunfire, told The Sun: 'It was terrifying. We are still in shock.' U.S. officials said they were looking into whether any Americans were involved. State Department spokeswoman Jen Psaki said Monday that the department had 'no definitive evidence of the nationalities or the identities' of the attackers. The security expert, who insisted on anonymity to talk freely about the situation, said many hostages had been freed or escaped in the previous 24-36 hours, including some who were in hiding. Scouring the area: Kenyan security personnel patrol near the Westgate mall in Nairobi Heavy response: A Kenya Defence Forces armoured military vehicle drives to the Westgate shopping centre after an exchange of gunfire inside the mall early on Tuesday However, there were at least 30 hostages when the assault by al-Shabab militants began Saturday, he said, and 'it's clear' that Kenyan security officials 'haven't cleared the building fully.' Kenyan government spokesman Manoah Esipisu said the country's president would make an address to the nation later in the day but said he could give no immediate details on the operation. Flames and dark plumes of smoke rose Monday above the Westgate shopping complex for more than an hour after four large explosions rocked the surrounding neighborhood. The smoke was pouring through a large skylight inside the mall's main department and grocery store, where mattresses and other flammable goods appeared to have been set on fire, a person with knowledge of the rescue operation told The Associated Press. The explosions were followed by volleys of gunfire as police helicopters and a military jet circled overhead, giving the neighborhood the feel of a war zone. An armored personnel carrier sat in front of the building. By Monday evening, Kenyan security officials said they had claimed the upper hand. People run for cover after hearing gunshots near the Westgate shopping mall, as the three-day siege drew to an end Smoke rises from the Westgate shopping centre in Nairobi following a string of explosions during the third day of a stand-off between Kenyan security forces and gunmen inside the building Kenya's Interior Minister Joseph Ole Lenku said the evacuation of hostages had gone 'very, very well' and that Kenyan officials were 'very certain' that few if any hostages were left in the building. But with the mall cordoned off and under heavy security it was not possible to independently verify the assertions. Similar claims of a quick resolution were made by Kenyan officials on Sunday and the siege continued. Authorities have also not provided any details on how many hostages were freed or how many still remain captive. Three attackers were killed in the fighting Monday, Kenyan authorities said, and more than 10 suspects arrested. Eleven Kenyan soldiers were wounded in the running gun battles. An Al Shabaab spokesman, Rage, said in the audio file that the attackers had been ordered to 'take punitive action against the hostages' if force was used to try to rescue them. Volunteers run for cover after hearing a volley of gunshots at the scene of the siege A Western security official in Nairobi who insisted on not being named to share information about the rescue operation said the only reason the siege hadn't yet ended would be because hostages were still inside. Westgate mall, a vast complex with multiple banks that have secure vaults and bulletproof glass partitions, as well as a casino, is difficult to take, the official said. 'They are not made for storming,' he said of the labyrinth of shops, restaurants and offices. 'They're made to be unstormable.' The massacre began on Saturday shortly before midday local time. Witnesses told how terrorists with faces hidden by Islamic scarves stormed the building, tossing grenades and spraying shoppers with AK-47s. Yesterday pictures emerged online that appeared to show the moment gunmen entered the shopping centre, pointing their weapons at terrified civilians. The killers, who were dressed in Western clothes, ordered all Muslims to leave, before carrying out rudimentary tests to see if hostages could recite the Koran and name the mother of the Prophet Mohammed. Military forces take position inside a shopping mall following the attack by masked gunmen in Nairobi Sporadic gun shots could be heard hours after the assault started as soldiers surrounded the mall and police and soldiers combed the building People help a wounded man outside the Westgate shopping mall, as 69 people were slaughtered by the terrorists Her son, 12, and daughter, 8, were injured as gunmen opened fire. She said adults ‘were like animals, climbing over the children to get out'. A Twitter account representing Al Shabaab, the group claiming responsibility for the attack, said it was carried out by terrorists from seven nations, including Britain, the US and Canada. The group has recently split into two factions following bloody infighting. Those not involved in the Nairobi attack are said to be spreading false information, raising questions over the veracity of initial reports that Londoners Ahmed Nasir Shirdoon, 24, and Liban Adam, 23, are among the gunmen. Kenya's Chief of Defence Forces, General Julius Karangi, said fighters from several countries had participated in the attack, but would not specify which ones. ‘We have an idea who they are, their nationality and even the number,' he said, adding that the militants were ‘clearly a multinational collection from all over the world'. ‘We have also have an idea that this is not a local event,' he said. ‘We are fighting global terrorism here and we have sufficient [intelligence] to suggest that.' At least three of the terrorists were killed, he added, after Kenyan forces moved into the five-storey complex, which was filled with some 1,200 people when it was stormed by three heavily armed groups on Saturday. Kenyans were last night bracing themselves for further terror attacks after it was claimed dozens more militants from the organisation had bribed their way into the country. A spokesman for Al Shabaab said all Britons in Kenya are ‘legitimate' targets because the UK has supported the African country's military intervention in neighbouring Somalia. Yesterday David Cameron returned early from Balmoral, where he had been staying with the Queen, to chair an emergency Cobra meeting with Cabinet colleagues including Deputy Prime Minister Nick Clegg, Chancellor George Osborne and Defence Secretary Philip Hammond. Our saviour: A soldier helps two women to safety. His identity has been protected for security reasons Horror: Shoppers hurry down an escalator with their hands in the air as they make their way out of the shopping centre to safety Safety: Shoppers and shop assistants raise their hands as they are escorted out by armed police Terrified: A young girl in tears is led away form the terror by a police officer One security officer said the mall had been turned into ‘an abattoir' within half an hour, as gunmen went on the rampage. Militants have reportedly burned their victims' faces and removed their hands in an attempt to conceal their identities; the bodies were piled against the main door to slow the progress of rescue teams. Yesterday reports emerged online that an injured woman trapped inside had been sexually abused at gunpoint in front of young hostages. It is believed that she has been shot in the shoulder, while her child has been killed. Details of the incident were posted hundreds of times on Facebook. The woman is said to have been able to speak several times with her husband, who is outside the shopping centre - but last night he had heard nothing from her for several hours. Another witness, Kamille Kaur, was with several dozen children for a cookery competition on the mall's second floor when the attack began. Wounded: A security officer helps an injured woman away from the building Help: A man carries a boy away from the scene of the carnage earlier today Killings: The fate of the hostages remained unclear this morning despite earlier statements from police saying most of those held had been rescued Victim: Rescuers attempt to evacuate a man injured in the shooting Desperation: An injured woman, whose face and clothes are drenched in blood, lies on the ground outside the shopping mall screaming for help FROM PERU TO INDIA, THE MALL VICTIMS CAME FROM ACROSS THE GLOBE Died together: British architect Ross Langdon, 33, and his pregnant girlfriend Elif Yavuz who were killed in the Kenyan shopping mall massacre BRITAIN British Defense Secretary Philip Hammond said six British deaths occurred and the number could rise. They include architect Ross Langdon (pictured, right, with his Dutch-born pregnant girlfriend, Elif Yavuz, who was also killed) and Zahira Bawa and her eight-year-old daughter Jenah, from Leamington Spa in central England, a relative told Britain's Press Association news agency. --- CANADA Annemarie Desloges, a border services liaison officer in Canada's High Commission to Kenya, 'was one of our bright young lights, and hers was a career brimming with promise,' said Tim Edwards, president of the Professional Association of Foreign Service Officers. She was a 29-year-old from a 'foreign service family' and had accompanied her parents on overseas postings before deciding to follow in their footsteps in 2006. Vancouver businessman Naguib Damji also died in the attack, a daughter and niece confirmed to various media. Two sisters from Toronto, 17-year-old Fardosa Abdi and 16-year-old Dheeman Abdi, were seriously injured. Their aunt Hodan Hassan said from her home in Minnesota that Fardosa was in critical condition with severe leg injuries. --- CHINA A 38-year-old Chinese woman with the surname Zhou who worked in the real estate industry was killed, state media said.

Zoe Gillings: Bad Korea Move For Me As World Cup Event Cancelled

2022-12-22T23:07:03Z

DavidSsw73107:

ZOE GILLINGS BLOG: Bad Korea move for me as World Cup event cancelled following 30-hour journey By Updated: 10:03 AEDT, 13 February 2011 </a> I've just returned to my base in France from the latest competition in Korea, where we were supposed to have a World Cup Snowboard Cross competition. Unfortunately, having travelled 30 hours to the other side of the world, through six countries by several modes of transport, costing nearly £3000 the competition was cancelled! Snow but no competition: Zoe Gillings went a long way for nothing It was so frustrating. Myself and the rest of the athletes turned up on day one of the competition to the course, but we were told there was a 30 minute delay while they finished the course off. This isn't unusual, but after an hour or so had gone by, the coaches were called to a meeting at the bottom of the course. After a consultation with the race directors, the race was officially cancelled due to the course being unsafe. I have experienced competitions being cancelled previously, but not after we had turned up to the event. Usually, competitions are cancelled due to lack of snow, not due to a badly built course. The problem here was simply how and where the course was built. It became apparent quite quickly that the mountain selected to run the race on wasn't adequate. It was too thin and steep, so the bank turns had to be very tight meaning there wasn't enough space in the corners for more than one person. It probably would have been OK for one person to ride at a time, but when you have four people on the course racing it would have been very dangerous, especially if the person in the lead fell, because the others behind would have nowhere to go. World Cup Snowboard Cross competitions have suffered fatalities in the past and after seeing this course, I think this was the right decision. It is unlikely that we will be able to re-claim our expenses back, but I am going to have a go in any case. Due to the financial problems mentioned in previous blogs I had to choose to enter either the Korean or the Canadian World Cup. I did not have the finances to enter both. After weighing up all the options I decided to go for Korea. Boy am I regretting that now! I have to stay in Europe this coming week, while the rest of the World Cup athletes compete in Canada. It doesn't feel great. Pyeongchang has put a bid in to host the 2018 Winter Olympics. Right now it would be easy for me to complain about the venue after this week and say they shouldn't be allowed to host the Olympics. Relaxing times: Zoe Gillings on a rare moment of peace However, it is unclear at the moment whether the fault lies with FIS (Federation Internationale de Ski) or the resort itself, as both play a major role in building the course. From my point of view the venue would be fine to host the Olympics, but there obviously needs to be a lot of work done in the back ground to ensure something like this never happens again. Wherever the fault lies, it's not great for the athletes when you spend over £3000 on a competition that gets cancelled. Despite all the problems, I made the best I could of my time in Korea. The people there continued to be some of the most kind and generous I have ever met. Looks fishy: Zoe Gillings admires the sights in Korea More from Zoe Gillings for the Daily Mail... 07/04/12 24/03/12 17/03/12 10/03/12 03/03/12 25/02/12 19/02/12 11/02/12 04/02/12 I managed to get two days on snow training in which brings my total number of days training with my coach since the Olympics to five! I tried some more local specialities such as noodle filled spring rolls, lettuce that tastes like fish and cold grape flavoured soy milk which smelt like hot chocolate, but didn't taste like it. One thing that provided a bit of amusement was the toilets. They are designed to make toilet paper obsolete. Not easy to explain, but they are all electric, even the seats and they shoot jets of water everywhere followed by a heated fan. It's very weird! As promised last week I have found out why the mountain was open and still busy all through the night. It's because the number of places in Korea where you can ski and [https://weareliferuiner.com/korean-chocolate-milk-how-to-make/ https://weareliferuiner.com/korean-chocolate-milk-how-to-make/] snowboard, relative to the number of people who want to do it, is so small, that they keep the mountains open for as much time as they can to allow people to go at quieter times of the day. Like 1am. I've got four weeks till my next race now, so it is back to training and working on my business idea. adverts.addToArray({"pos":"inread_player"})Advertisement
