  3. Not sure how well/widely this is known but with the 1667 Treaty of Breda the Dutch gave up claim to New Netherlands (New Amsterdam and current NY, NJ and Manhattan) mostly for the tiny island of Run (Pulau Run; 3 km length by 1 km width) in the Banda island group - that was the only place those days that nutmeg grew.

  5. Saffron 🌸

    Worth more than its weight in gold, and it earns it.

    Each crocus flower gives just 3 stigmas, hand-picked at dawn. It takes 100,000+ flowers to make 2 lb.

    A pinch (10-15 strands) is all you need. Buy strands, not powder — if it's cheap, it isn't saffron.

  6. A few months ago, I ran out of caraway seeds and struggled to find some in the shops. The local supermarkets didn't have them, could not find in Indian grocers, but did find them in Korean grocers. Yay.

    Then I found a recipe for mutton tehari that listed an ingredient called shahi jeera. Looking it up, it was caraway. Cool. Very tasty tehari, BTW; cooking it again tonight!

    So to my confusion, why didn't I find caraway in South Asian grocers? I just Duck Duck Went, and found an explainer for jeera (cumin) vs shahi jeera (caraway) a.k.a. black cumin. Awesome.

    Armed with this info, I just stalked a few online Indian grocery shops and yes, they sell caraway as black cumin / shahi jeera. Yay! Will be able to buy in a better size, like 400 grams.

    Oh, and caraway "seeds" are in fact very tiny fruit.

  7. 2 tablespoons each ground cumin and ground coriander, one tablespoon each paprika and chilli powder, half a tablespoon each, ground mace, turmeric and cinnamon.

    There will be dal for dinner.

  8. 🚨 Oh no, the EU's nemesis, banned pesticides, have infiltrated our #rice, #tea, and spices! Apparently, the EU's #pesticide blacklist is about as effective as a screen door on a submarine. 🌊 Guess it's time to serve our tea with a side of sarcasm and a sprinkle of #irony. 🍵🙃

  10. There are many things I don't like about the kitchen in the Chicory House where we're living medium-term following our house flood.

    But I like the fact that the integrated spice rack makes it much easier to see where we perhaps have a very-specific blind spot for "buying a new one where the last one's still more than half-full".

  12. watching a medical video about fingerprints

    doctor: ... Around the same time, the most inner layer of the epidermis, named the "basal layer"...

    me *stops listening

    also me: basil? sugar and spice? snips and snails? how do they know it's basil and not oregano?

    also me: oh wait--

  13. Turmeric, one of the great Indian spices 🟡

    Warm. Slightly acrid. Unmistakably golden.

    → Curries, rice, sauces, pickles
    → Gives mustard its yellow
    → Used for centuries as spice, dye, medicine

    Tip: Buy little and often. It keeps its color but loses flavor over time.

  14. Foodie Sunday 😋

    Today for lunch (and almost certainly for dinner too): Hasselback potato (stuffed with leek, green onion, and cheese… Long live Sweden!), drizzled with a mix of olive oil, curry powder, and paprika, with some leeks and red and yellow bell peppers to keep it company. For dessert: cherries, strawberries, apple, cream, and sugar.

    Bon appétit, everyone! 😄

  15. When I want to cook or bake to try something new, I don’t always have a specific dish in mind. It’s usually some spice, herb or ingredient that captures my imagination. Lately it’s cardamom. If I had to choose among all the spices that intrigues me the most, it would be cardamom. Tonight it gets added to a soup. Getting those seeds out of the pods is a labor of love. #cook #cooking #spices
