Pizza Hut selling snake pizza in Hong Kong
Pizza Hut, an American corporation, has partnered with a century-old Hong Kong restaurant to create a modern take on a classic dish called snake on a pizza. The new dish includes Chinese dried ham, black mushrooms, and shredded snake meat—all essential components of a real snake stew—and is a cornerstone of the Hong Kong franchise's internet marketing strategy. For a long time, certain diners in Hong Kong and the surrounding areas of southern China have loved snake stew, particularly in the winter. A local Cantonese tradition states that the greatest time to eat snake is "when the autumn wind begins to blow," which refers to when the snakes have gained weight in anticipation of hibernating. Many people think that eating snake flesh can treat skin ailments. Hong Kong resident Mabel Sieh, a self-described…
Extra virgin olive oil is getting very expensive. And it might not even be real
For thousands of years, olive oil has been an integral part of Mediterranean cuisine and culture. It was referred to as "liquid gold" in Homer's "Iliad" because it was utilized for religious and therapeutic purposes before it was ever put on the table. The olive branch has been used for ages as a symbol of prosperity and peace, and fragrant extra virgin and virgin olive oils are valuable exports worldwide. The olive oil market, estimated to be worth $22.3 billion in 2022, is anticipated to grow rapidly during the following ten years. However, behind the world's most well-known extra virgin olive oils, which are made in Greece, Spain, and Italy, are equally profitable criminal businesses taking advantage of the gold rush to sell phony liquid gold that is made from sunflower, canola, or even lamp oil.
‘King of fruit’: Azerbaijan’s love affair with the pomegranate
Pomegranates are a wonderful gift of nature, delicious, easy on the eyes, and full of therapeutic powers. Throughout history, faiths and cultures all over the world have mythologized and cherished them. While Jewish beliefs thought that it contained 613 seeds, which reflect the number of commandments in the Torah, ancient Greeks associated it with the underworld. Pomegranate shrubs (Punica granatum) are thought to have originated in the area that now extends from northern India to Iran. They quickly moved eastward to China and westward to the Mediterranean. The fruit is still highly valued in nations like Turkey, Armenia, and Iran and is a beloved mainstay of many Middle Eastern cuisines. But it would be difficult to locate a location that extols the pomegranate more than Azerbaijan, the South
Italy divided over new pineapple pizza
Anyone who has traveled to Italy knows that there are unwritten conventions that must be followed, and the most significant of these are related to food. After 11 a.m., a cappuccino? only visitors should use. Bolognese spaghetti? A terrifying idea. On your pizza, pineapple? Heresy, that is, up until this point. But according to Gino Sorbillo, the famed Naples pizzaiolo (pizza maestro), who has introduced the dreaded "ananas" to his menu in Via dei Tribunali, the most famous pizza street in the pizza capital of the world, 2024 may just be the year that pineapple pizza finally makes its way to Italy. "Margherita con Ananas," a creation by Sorbillo, costs seven euros ($7.70). However, this isn't your typical Hawaiian pizza—rather, it's a bianca, stripped of its tomato layer
Target goes crazy over Valentine’s Day sales of rose-colored Stanley mugs.
The desire for Stanley cups is sweeping the globe. Not the hockey kind, either. Ask Target, please. It looks like nothing will say "L-O-V-E" more profoundly to some Valentine's Day revelers this year than an oversized rose-colored stainless steel insulated tumbler. It's clunky and heavy to carry around when filled for "all-day hydration," but it will still go viral in the New Year. Target debuted a special edition Valentine's Day line of Stanley tumblers in vibrant pink and cherry red hues in December. The collection featured a 40-ounce giant mug, two-pack tumblers in adorable packaging that said "It was Love at First Sip," and a Pint-sized stacking beer tumbler. Customers pounced on the merchandise, sometimes quite violently.
FBI warns consumers not to use public phone charging stations
Customers are being cautioned by the FBI not to use public phone charging stations to prevent infecting their devices with malware. A tweet from the FBI's Denver bureau last week claimed that malicious actors are using public USB ports, such as those seen at airports and shopping centers, to disseminate malware and tracking software. The organization did not offer any particular instances. The organization said in the tweet to "use an electrical outlet and carry your own charger and USB cord." When a device's battery is extremely low, many people find public charging stations appealing; nonetheless, security professionals have long expressed worries about the risk. To characterize the issue, researchers came up with the term "juice jacking" in 2011. Simply by connecting your phone.
