Live. Live. Rucksacks c.b.c. 3 cancer at a very sad news summary Fredrickson passing away just been announced in the last 20 or 30 minutes says she lived with cancer for the best part of 17 years all the pipes picking up on that now as we speak on b.b.c. Website as well coming up in this hour the program whiskey Dan Humphreys coming in hopefully to give us some whiskey tips of things we can buy and enjoy the crystal Christof That's Christmas and festive for you and I think the Christopher period not least whiskies from supermarkets things that you can enjoy from some of the cheaper end of the spectrum but there are still quality will find what he's recommending. Alcohol it's not just whiskey it's his book Barry's book gin these books from me he's bought those sorts of things I tell you what if you had any intention of going out anytime soon I would strongly recommend staying very much in because I think the amount of alcohol that's going to be potentially consumed in the next short while might be well worth hanging around to find out if I make any more sense than usual Oh no. Credit can 4th this with very shortly it's Neko from b.b.c. 3 counties right yeah. B b c 3 counties way. Eh Here enjoying themselves with cover by for a laugh. I'm getting a lot of texts from people saying they're not loving it. Diverse different people who prefer the coming to my next guest who's making a point saying that well getting out his vast array of bits and bobs which I'm going to tuck into very shortly I said it was only going to be risky it's not would you support in a 2nd every weekday morning for 9 on b.b.c. 3 counties radio j.b.s. Do you think it's nice or disgusting to let pets sleep on your bed I think it's not like they're part of the family and I live in your house. Jonathan Vernon Smith I have 3 dogs a cat and a squirrel. So come in. I mean I don't mean to be rude but this sounds disc casting we love animals and. So do I but not in my bed. Thank you nicky of your call starting the conversation in. Beyond the j.b.s. Weekday mornings from 9 on b.b.c. 3 counties where you. Come across a bed and box is b.b.c. So we can tease radio a momentarily lucky guess because he's going to open a beer bottle and when I putting you know with the teeth. You know opening beer bottles or Perceptor bottles in the studio I should just make it clear. That this is entirely We only have a very very small taste in glasses and everything else in a bottle so we're safe in the studio with this right sit down then there we go let's try not to get the beer or any of equipment you may well not have noticed but in a couple weeks it is Christmas so I thought let's have a look at some festive tipples that you might want to enjoy. Free Runs the summer to new whiskey club in scent opens but require remarkably hasn't come in just with whiskey. You you learned your lesson last time didn't you Mr Humphry Yes I did I have brought something for everyone this time around the lesson being exactly precisely that whiskey is for certain people and not others yes yes yes I mean the no others kept blessing last time there was series that all these posh whiskies and it just got worse and worse Derek messes say that he loves risky that he loves a Famous Grouse is that is that considered to be here as long as you enjoy what you're drinking then it's then it's a very good Wiscasset brand leader isn't it is a brand what would make them a safer Mark Tindall's of things but but would you tell do it in a brand leader in an artisan whisky you would in that case and whiskey is probably slightly more expensive has a little bit more time and effort put into it not saying that famous grass is doing anything wrong I do have a lovely whiskey and they meet a need but artists no one but if I put them both in front of me would you know the difference potentially Yes especially with some some of the whiskey such as a couple of brought you here that have very special finishes and be put into a port cask right the end of their life and it imparts a new flavor to it that takes it in a different direction and it's those finishes in those little notes that is where you get the artisanal ones what I gave you a very strict hammer to it was bringing things that we can all enjoy one of Siegel a couple of Euro know the brands that you work with but also stuff from supermarkets and you have done that and I appreciate that the 1st thing being. He put out these 2 beer bottles. Great look at those brands and they're both from Sainsbury's the branding on the packaging is brilliant Yes it's like their own independent ran brains of beers a brand on their own and what they've done is they've gone to the best beer producers in the country and said Give me your best and I've not said one producer needs to make you know they've gone for each one so here we've got something from Aston which is an American style i.p.a. And something sorry something from shop at Nain in a Kentish way or both are fantastic. Let me have a little taste of what they think would be the bottle which the one I love yes that one American is to have the American Son it's in this fantastically cartoon eyes label it's kind of thing that you know big brands spend a lot of time and money producing so they've obviously made an effort to make the only ball worth well what with these bottles coming out of there about the $1.00 pound 60 to one pound 80 mark so what am I drinking here you have here the Kentish are from ship name you know there's a couple 100 years of the history largely ale that's and. Creamy and. I've got to say this is been one of my favorites for the last 2 or 3 years whenever I'm going out and wanting to see some friends and I say bring a bottle you get a top quality beer and everyday protection you feel a little bit tight going with the supermarket brand I have I would normally because of the artwork and the logo and the effort they've put into sourcing these it works if it was the very bottom end of the range I can see that and the look and feel wouldn't work but those unique labels make it stand out and make you go yes I've got something different and it's been lovely having this year you just leave me that bear and it will be. I'll just carry this is I'm not a beer expert but this is this is very quotable there is that this is this is eminently what you sniff in there I'm just like the smell I love the smell of it I don't mind me much a 2nd one it reminds me of my childhood almost is why it's what dad used to drink rarely and that's how I got into I also was probably the 1st alcoholic I ever got into when I was an a.o. So this is an area where I said this is now the American style I go Yeah it smells of kiwi fruit that's the hops they're using so the new scholars. Paper few key ways and then you start hops originated from the American parallel so no Kiwi lychee is a very good palate if you're getting all these fruits free that's that comes from something that's like. Yes It's like she says. I think this is this is rated 2 men sniffing gas it's gorgeous as well I could do this all day. And the hops and part those flavors so we have to do dishes or hops in a can to show which is where beer was previously and now the new age of craft is today or it came over from America is using this much more floral fragrant hop and it gives the owners can see you to 4 and that I think love to cook with that by the way yes that would be fantastic I think appears may have been that want to put into my grave it had it I'm going to say out of the pit any other way some before some pull that would be that would be gorgeous That is phenomenal that Sarah can do the disclaimer of other supermarkets are available but suffice it to say and I know this so used to work in drinks the supermarkets have become incredibly savvy around and I tasted recently a little gin now Dejan it could be one of the I got to tell you it was a cracking gin and it was a 10 of the bottle Yes I can imagine and to be being fair little have a lovely range of beers as well they've once again gone to the different distillery in 3 different breweries and get my whiskey head on there and taking the best and so when you get the right we find your flavors because there's going to be a range of 5 or 10 same We've all because you pick your favorite from there when you've got it you just keep hold of it of course if you're little or Audi or waiters revenue go and you say I need 500000 bottles you when you're in a strong position very strong Yeah and that's how we get those are the better price because they've been able to knock down the price on their end and they share it with the customer so these are part of the Sainsbury's taste difference range when you say they're coming in around the one pound 31 pound for tomorrow one pound 621 pound 8 is stream the good value and they would look great on on any table because of the of the smart branding how do you pronounce what goes on every student. That's in my ear I heard how do you pronounce it alleges or has it she told me as a moderately different right moving swiftly on. Me see what else have we got there that we could do quickly before the news headline. We did because you've got you've got that will put in there we've got Jenny said so that is a book standard low range gin Yes but you're going to jazz it up for me aren't you yes you take take your standard gin and tonic your usual gin your usual tonic but for Christmas trying to add a little bit of flavor about going nuts repent spending twice as much on a gin there are there's a company out there called Geoffrey's right create these tonic syrup so they're kind of like we get those they are online information is the only one we have to go online certainly for its Geoffrey's they'd You add it like a syrup is to squash squashes to water Yeah a couple of drops of their fruit in her based syrup and it takes your gin and tonic into a whole new level and gives you a whole new set of flavor doubled or Jeffries a tonic dot com If you want to find that log there's a whole website of the Mir they've got the original recipe did not say play in the lime lime gallon gallon orange So you're telling me that I take here a a very cheap vodka that's just a nother label brands that you add in some tonic and then a little bit of syrup Yes And it's that syrup adds a whole new level of complexity this will be bearing in mind these are tiny shot glasses so make sure you get your balance right there John because otherwise I'm going to get very drunk and this is going to go horribly wrong very quickly we have the gin and tonic here and now we're doing is just putting a couple of drops what is the sort of taste of this one. Week or flavor that hand crafted to Sicilian lemon and warm spices yet if you've got all that I can slow scummer say that it's Christmas in a little. Yes in a little bit of a back I'm not drunk passed over to me so you've just up here a a very very simple vodka tonic with smells nice. What is this one's a gin and tonic you can do evoke a tonic and it's not as well as lovely it's not Christmas flavor and a whole new level complex gives you a premium drink without having to spend big because a gin. More period goes is the more complex the spices in the balance and so what you're doing is you're adding it to market yes that's it you've created a premium gin without spending those hours and days putting extra bits in the fact still a very Johnny Walker appropriately inside he says I do love rebels Kev of the engineer arms in any way he says the best beers in the country they go out there you can have a look he says like you Nick I'm not a whisky trying to eat should be of course Tony Walker is nice think so so how much with these little Jeffries tonic syrup cost these ones are slightly more expensive get better paper so that you did a lot of them do either they did it just a little drizzle you don't know 7 pounds a bottle and how far does that go that process going at least 50 out of bits and you can just do a single drop to the flavor if you want to be a little bit more selfish and put 4 or 5 drops in because you like that flavor you go quicker it's almost medicinal resin it turns into a. It's very nice but a verse on the word geneviève tasted fantastic in its genes and I never understood and safe to work in the trade you'd have Jinn's it like 405060 pound a bottle and I could never fully agree that they were that much better than there are coming from whiskey I I look at how much an equipment whiskey or what you get a whisky 4050 pounds for a whisky you get something it's been 10 years of the asking and now I am the same I'm sure there are a few that really put some new effort and energy in that no one else does but I do get to the point where I think why I spent all this money on a gin especially when I've just shown you can have your chief gin and you can put the flavor in yourself you see with wine I get it the reason I get it with wine is because French is best and there the reason I get it with wine is because wine is very related to the Tell that to the whites from the weather they've had that year in the kind of grape and therefore you can have indeed from the same in your one great year and one less great year but with spirits is much more consistent isn't it is much more scientific and therefore that it should be only 70 different member had a gin brand on there some time ago and it is beautifully branded and I said you know and how does it work in this brand by using the ingredients that if you buy in and I was thinking work surely that's missing the point slightly if you haven't got your own big kettle so it strikes me that it's harder to differentiate spirits than is wine Yes I do agree the just the fact that this this great from this Bush versus this great finish but it makes you different up there and with the distilling does now does take a lot of those flavors out there are a couple distilleries are playing around with the toe are of the grains they use and they are fine and there are subtle differences but the distilling process does average that out a little bit more than one so I've done to own label as I don't know naval i.p.a. And I label is that right yeah I've done a cheap vodka and tonic but with the Jeffries gin Sirius's out is very nice. More to come with the after the news headlines I just need to make sure I can actually press a button here this isn't a car for n.b.c. 3 counties radio that starts in box travel nothing to see here Clay you just carry on and do your bullet terminologies have a glass of water oh Ok Ok Ok I want to. Drink Alcohol yes yes yes of you naughty they say it's 3 it's 3 No it's not it's opposite one of the afternoon maybe I have as well and well the m 25 at the moment when the 3 junction 25 the a 10 now there are reports of an accident 3 that has not been confirmed by the place I'm afraid I still can't see anything on the cameras either but it's an unusual queue so I think there's a problem it will be the a one to one station road busy through the works in the to leave right also just reminder that in Luton a George Street remains closed either way between am a street and a Gordon Street that's because of a building financial I and they 5 seeing there's no place on approaches to late and right I'm clash up b.b.c. 3 counties radio and the radio award for most drunks sounding impression of drunk without actually having a drink anything goes to Claire It was really. I love the way you said you hadn't been drinking and because something triggered in your head that you actually sounded really slurred and drinking is to yes just a little bit as you go and get yourself together and traverse just the fact of how it was a day entirely sober Jane has got the news headlines across that cuts and box freak out. It's 130 I'm Jane Killick the shadow health secretary John Ashworth says he was just sitting around when he told a conservative friend and activist Greg Baker he thought there was no way Labor could win the general election and spoke about getting rid of Jeremy Corbyn as party leader in the future secretly recorded phone conversation has appeared on the folks website Jeremy Corbyn denies politicizing the case of a 4 year old boy he was. Pictured sleeping on the floor of a hospital in Leeds because of a lack of beds the Labor leader says funding the n.h.s. Is a political issue and the case says an awful lot about a shortage of staff which means there are a large number of hospitals where patients are risk a fire in a derelict building in Luton Town Center has closed several roads in the area firefighters are dealing with the blaze in upper George Street and what that based Wetherspoon's says it will invest 200000000 pounds in pubs and hotels over the next 4 years the company which is owned by the prominent supporter Tim Martin says the move will create 10000 jobs with new put back among towns to benefit the one of a head start and Bucks very windy this afternoon with heavy rain the sea evening those are the headlines the next but it is too well that could have been very or could Jane a couple of moments ago. Tell you I did I did hear the sound of the whole being poor. Because Jane Jane came in and I said Jane do you fancy little tipple and Jane said well you know last time some bloke came in we whiskey I didn't like them but he was the some bloke so how do you how do you know what I said you're criticised that some bloke there could have been very or what I actually said was last time he came in here. I said Would you like some and I said well I don't really like whiskey and then they got me to try some and I said it tastes like whiskey. Don't taste any of what Ben's put in well he's he's he's probably a little something or other what people of me are poor the gin and tonic but next just tried with a little bit of tonic syrup that just makes the flavor away as a little. Cheaper tonic but with expensive syrup. Because I've I've so I did I went to straight this testing once and it was Jim with tonic gin with ice and I didn't like any of it but I've been since to a gin bowl or where they put the devil or sweet stuff that's really nice and they said oh yeah this one's really sweet you probably won't like that one I'll have that one. Can also try this with yeah meant to be sort of Christmassy. That is very nice. Physicalism but then orange. Drawing. A lemon and cinnamon you know I don't like cinnamon So that's interesting types of cinnamon we took it out specially feature because very kids need to you wouldn't like that how very very nice to see Jane drinking something other than a very dry word. But you know for the rest of the day. I said if you say. Anything approaching alcoholic right more to come from down Humphrey at take in history some Christmas tipples some of them ready cheap some of them less cheap one of them or the really expensive will find out more very shortly it's b.b.c. 3 counties right in unison to mean they come from. 6. Of the richer b.b.c. 3 counts is right you. Drinking some festive tipples we've done. Free for who runs the summit in risky government what it does that we are a whiskey subscription We send our full bottle of whiskey every 2 months to our members but the key thing is we do with the hard work searching for the whiskey so you guys can just sit back and enjoy drinking it so these are rarer brands or yes we last month we had a u.k. Exclusive on a Swedish whisky the very 1st raspberry wine finished whisky in the world 1500 remade we got the entire But educated to go down well it went down phenomenally well luckily they are up a on that was a runner pounds members felt like they got a good good bit of value for money and in our next one we've just been up in Scotland last week battling our very own after every explosive bottling so completely rare and unique to us and people feel that's worth the money the premium to tease the Yes Yeah there we do it is a expensive service it's $50.00 pounds livery but every bottle we send out would cost you more if you found it yourself so people would spend a 100 pound a bottle whisky Yes there are a lot out there that would have had a few members asking why don't you just charge little bit more go even more expensive on the way let's let's get what we've got now a liter of what happened said before the news we had an i.p.a. In a 0 both of which was Sainsbury's own label taste the difference and both rich no need tasted great but they create taken some great care in the branding and we then had a very cheap vodka and a very cheap tonic that you enhanced with our set for one last time the Jeffries tonic syrup so they're available online at Jeffreys. Was it called Jeffries Jeffries tonic dot com that was gin was there with the with the the tonic syrup so they're moving on to. Try the whiskey or we have to the right Mr the let's go for the rum 1st we talk about what I've done what I've looked at is start off with you every day rum my personal preferences I don't really like a white rum I like this I mean it's been aged a little bit you still get fantastic value for money out. And the rum I brought in here for that for that is Appleton Ok I have a number of different versions and different prices and there's a supermarket What are the best supermarket why you can't go wrong with one got let me taste a rum did you drink it resonate I do drink my Romney but you can read also try with a little bit I love cloudy lemonade goes fantastically with a good rum So this is an apple to an estate 1212 year old red blend anything from them is good and I've got a slightly more expensive one here but I know I spent a long time when I was younger just you know you look at your valley for money and these guys are already done always done a good job where they're from Jamaica there's too much of it as far as if it were going to what we do if you have a little taste as it is now and then we'll put a little bit we want why goodness so that's quite whiskey asking if that's the type the 12 years it spends in a barrel a spirit start coming to get a bit is a lot sweeter don't drink it and I'm actually Hell expecting just smelling it what you know that I will add a little bit of ginger ale as well just so you can say see the 2 different flavors Oh yes very strange as a nice and then a kickback as to it's got it you know it is. It's really interesting this it goes cold on your tongue it's a little bit and the I think when you hit Orange at the same time as well you know because it goes quite sort of menthol quite gassy very surreal so would would you drink this neat I would. If it was later in evening as we drink on that night but daytime are probably the cloudy lemonade of the ginger ale they get a sense that this is that. We can say this is this is it's it's almost you can sort of inhale the fumes that are making sense of this now take on the color of the anybody'd didn't injure our Yes. Oh that is nice that rom engine no spices like I really want to say with the cloudy lemonade I personally prefer over a a clear lemonade has more fruitiness to and as adeptly around so that's it that's a that's a good well rounded brand available in the supermarket Appleton than if you bought the posh one I have now this comes from my friend got married in the summer and he wants to get one nice bottle of rum and he go whoa whoa and one night he did a fantastic job and now I taste this is my favorite rum Ok this is a plantation so it basically it's be made is the 25th anniversary much like Oscar want to see the difference in that one will cost us around $55.00 pounds so basically 3 times the cost the $1.00 I just had I want to see if I can taste the difference it's a pretty spectacular looking bottle isn't it I think you need a degree in sort of balance a bank robbery to get into this is yes it's quite it's quite complex the stock for itself is the size of my fish. It's got a let me spell it says if. Policies. That smells less aggressive and that's something you do get with the with the more expensive rounds just that little bit because it had twin it's only this that long a time in a barrel when you have 3 years in a barrel it's slightly softer 20 years in a barrow you have Us About as round it will do nothing with something quite beautiful about looking at this thinking as you know this this started when I was 26 I loved it one of the whiskey's I I shared last year I was the club it came from the very 1st year of the distillery was 18 years old and I just had to because it's a part of history a 1st like when I was a kid or when that was 1st made I love tasting a bit of history Ok so I can taste the difference in the cheaper one of the expensive one because that is much smoother it's less harsh it's more silken it's more rounded and I could probably have to get really drunk on them yes that one is very very quotable and you definitely don't need to mix it with anything it does does it all for you reduce the lighter in color does that does that help anything that's not the color quite often comes from the word that it's in sometimes brand will put caramel in and so you can't fully tell if it's a natural flavor from the word or it's just been added to create consistency across the brand Ok cryptically says that he's a bit of a snob when it comes to his tonics especially come to Gene to can take it to another level that is true isn't it there are Pashtun excel there are there is a number of ranges out there obviously we're not quite the co-op at the moment if I may say that's I remember a few years ago I had a friend who worked for brick and he managed to Spain and he put tonic into a local competition and it was right and you can when you go home you have the power can have that one if you want you've got to taste it and find out does this one work for you and if once you find your flavor keep it as long as bubbles it's fine say remind me the name of the posh run that we just this is a plantation run Barbados rum as opposed to Jamaican we've just had one left we have we're going to whisky where we are. Oh I was going to say I was out to do finds I just play a song and you find go what you say I just what I was thinking when we ski what we're going to be doing this is a song coming we have to wait for the risque you have to wait at least 3 minutes and 49 seconds am I going to have to taste the whiskey. The song just started just . Pop in my head I did nothing that. We all will be together. From. Here to the. Cruise. Telling me. Funny I see you right there are they just we weep pumping in to tell us about tonight's number 4 Shelley was it Dolly or had been a little bit distracted by all the lovely. If you got going on here it's very very not that you had any of the mob No no. Yeah and that I'll glass of a remembering I am actually. Not a very good run because it really Smith room is very very smooth very nice by the way did you know that only base Bay This is joined in the studio by United midfielder Greg Williamson are to 6 o'clock his fortunes to playing for the club you know that I am yeah and Ali will also speak documentary maker experiment where he's made a film all about. You know those well I didn't know that it was brilliant and we're going to do both of those things on the only show tonight what are your vote how to vote during. The one because I want to just to allowing. Your football vote. Every week I have a team that we put online and kind of let the listeners and followers on Twitter pick which is the way I think one team in particular is mobilizing its supporters Yeah there's not a minute or 2 weeks in a row where after you know even the week that I wonder how many holes he's going to be on the show as well. Having having basically put all of his stuff in a 3 line whip to make sure that they hear that they voted for tonight from 6 o'clock in the us one before you go to that the Rams I mean you just keep drinking that's why it's nice non-league football show should be interesting because he's only slender Ollie's he's a little bit about. Right I will carry on with that with. Some whiskeys to come to every weekday afternoon from 3 b.c. 3 counties radio. Is the u.k. Transport infrastructure in most cities doesn't work for petrol cars want it work for electric cars congestion is congestion no matter what power source is used and compromising bus lanes is just making a bad situation even worse with their say Peroni used to have an l.p.g. Car and the Ridglea years ago the government give you a bit of money to persuade you to buy and turn into fuel when they realise that more people were driving l.p.g. Cars but they took the benefit way so if you drive a hybrid electric. You can drive in a bus they possibly put down long before they stop all that as well needs visas and interview in Welland and beyond. Any weekday afternoons from 3 b.b.c. 3 counties radio. Station b.b.c. 3 counties radio Council the beds. East. Slowly making is having a turbo charged tasting event here is on to the bit basically you're doing everything I've done in reverse right we've got Dan Humphrey from the summit in whiskey club in St Aubyn says very kindly put in later stuff that's not whisky today Ok come on then well got whisky next only just whisky because you can stand taste if makes I'll. Join It's about exactly like enjoying the further whiskey early on I want to as we take everyone knows that as we talked a lot about we saw last time I thought we'd go a little bit so different and talk about Christmas and whiskey because what we're going to be doing in our household this year is our we have the last couple years as our ports tradition has changed port finished whiskey right after Christmas dinner and we I've got a little sample here of something from Myriad a Swedish wiseass cereal I just launched a port finish so you can try it a port finish whiskey Yes So what they do is they stay and take some boats and they pay for what they do is they get a cast they put it down to Portugal and they go to this $1.00 is a free 100 year old port producer and they say fill this cask with port please for a couple of years and what happens is the wood in the port interacted some and then they emptied it the empty and they put the whisky in afterwards to get the flavor around if they were to come on because anything could be better than what you serve me last time. I understand whiskey says Just got in there it's a sort of personal Well you do and it's a little bottle Ok say. I got a taste of what I'm doing 1st of all we're going to have it neat and we're going to try whiskey a slightly different way in Japan you know actually smells of pork that's really into. Here we go yet she smells quite deep in Christian doesn't it. Taste disgusting it's going to taste amazing of porn whiskey in my opinion amazing but you know I don't dislike that buys very much I don't dislike that it's fantastic by the way it is a bigger compliment and you as you get from me I know I'm ecstatic I feel like I've done something great here I've got nothing to do with actually hate it that's really nice he did it with other other flavors and colors Yeah yeah makes him I've actually got one here which was our last bottle of the month which is the Ross recast finish you get a real mess of that group whining that in there as well and me into like a boardin 830 s. I don't want people to have. Traditionally you would have to share a cable isolated Starbucks has a headphones and so she's not listening to this part of the program so you can walk out looking really innocent so this is Cherry they say Roz bring wine cask finish it's the only one in the world a Rolls pre wine so they live there live there made a rush rewind out Swedish wild Rosebery. Rock from the from the far all that's a little bit stronger they put it into they put into a big cask like they do with the pork but yeah it's not as sweet a flavor. So the only basically necking it. Tasted here why why why do I find whisky such an acquired taste it's the same is different wines different beers it just comes from the flavor profile Don't you find it makes a point down with time makes my lips point upwards in a big smile and I mean really what you make of it the the cherry wood you because the raspberry wine wealthy very nice you get you get a smell of fruits at the beginning of floral and it comes fruit in the taste as well afterwards state that the taste this is a good. Taste stays with us it's a real taste with you I apologize to everyone listening laid. I'm going to. Write what is going they're not talking to you on break for set up to my I am yeah I guess it was meant for so it could also be very interesting Oh yeah he was you know back inside and that was the favorite of the 3 they really. Think that and fantastical like a pretty big I think that I think it's a free i don't mind the. And that's the beauty save all drinking you find what you like. It's very they purity when it goes in your mouth and if you hold it in your mouth for about 20 seconds or you can leave early can you present the flavor as you put it in a just washed around your mouth when you feel the flavors changing you almost gets almost right strong and stringent in periods and then as it mixes with the saliva the flavor opens up and it changes every single 2nd but it's a lot of vapors in there so you're doing pretty well. For now and then take a deep breath. And it just burns a little bit so I was just playing with that. It becomes really raspy doesn't it how does it happen it's just it's the chemical as a train chemicals that they change in your mouth and they open up when the liquid of the saliva changes the flavor and that's why people enjoy whisky for much on a cold winter's warms you ups now and Ok I just learned something it's nicer when you leave it sit in your mouth. Then fantastic it's taken after Yeah so you're looking very happy over there my dear friend and family and I'm going to.

I think you can get a lot of difference of stickies when you cooking for coconut for coconut cream do you mean all 4 but just like there's an Indian theories of what a day really oh yeah lady is here yeah yeah so what do you usually substitute Akki for instant death like Coke and coconut oil is made right c.s.o. Oil it's really good you get different flavored olive oils now as well so I think you find. When you can when you go on the health food sites as well there's a lot of big and spreads and problems not a new one and no cell but you got some big name spreads real idea can be spread from I but not be complete not upright I call it without butter but you know that's if you think you can be good yeah you know that is true. I was just one of some onions in this coconut world with the cinnamon stick and the cinnamon stick is just there just to increase the flavor from it and this is like clear making up with the codebase really isn't it yeah usually this dish would be put in the treasury and left in the oven for how long would you know Alison I was and I really infuse the flavors Yeah they just throw it all in and just put it in the oven let it bake for however long but we haven't got over an hour to coat the car we've got to get it all and then I would like to steam in the just to get to play flavor and initial already done and it's really just like the smallest amount of ingredients the guys so far in the pot on honey we put some coconut oil a cinnamon stick which we will infuse in the oil for about 510 minutes and you add in your chopped onions and mixed prepuce Yeah and garlic fresh garlic fresh garlic they like they're called a claw in milk and yeah they're all concrete is very mild Oh yeah they don't have much chili pepper in their food not very mild and I think it's hard when people travel to market a lot them come back and complain about the few that had a lot of had a lot of an obvious if you do it by yeah I mean they're in a way going to try to do it right guys not that we're going to give you any bad. Thing they we just lack the spice so that's a just I'm not in. Yeah that's just going to be all ready isn't there yeah. I don't know. That this is the way to get back to you in a moment but as you can talk to me about your cooking do we cook at home too it's me yeah I cook all the time at home and yeah every night you know every night quite basic food but yeah I always cook crash what sort of. Dishes do you like it's got to be quick and easy. But yeah I think it's really important to cook home cooking home cooked but you know it's not it's not complex food yeah I think you have. A favorite. Ok and so many. Ways I would tell you kind of go yeah the last minute I couldn't have time to settle for me yeah yeah I mean is that most of cuisines of you and. He just. Loves going to drive. You know if I go on holiday I love to get self-catering So we definitely get that little Grimm shop which turned out to be the best anyway. We've just we're on holiday in Singapore that yeah I'm the street in Singapore and I went my. Crab as well yeah I did try to. Chicken rice is like there's a Michelin star. Just like a little. Cheese on the corner go into this book yeah just and it's just chicken or rice that's right that's just amazing yeah yeah yeah I wish I knew. That I. Was you what you saw can do you cook much at home yeah I do I cook quite a lot more so recently especially as I was saying earlier that I eating more and more plant based food and I prefer to cook at home you know I know exactly the quality of the. What I'm putting in and I can you know vary the spices I actually don't like too much chili I've never been a huge fan of really really spicy food I know that's really this all used to drive my mom crazy like there is too much of that everyone else is going to have it's fine it's just you can't so yeah it's nice that I can cook for myself and I then I'll experiment as well and I like to use organic produce and I always cook with coconut oil so. Yeah yeah I do you know as well as health and fitness coach you find it hard to like think of dishes and stuff because I mean most people would think like healthy nutritious food is quite boring Well I mean do you like experiment make different dishes different cuisines Yes I do and there's one thing I can say is that if it doesn't ice not if it's boring I'm not eating it so you know when people say oh your health conscious of what do you read this isn't and you know you're just eliminating everything but what you end up doing instead is you really can taste all the flavors because you want the food to taste good definitely and I found that I can be full grown vegan I actually wasn't eating enough fresh because you know vegetables it's quite filling for some vegetables and initially I started to do it to introduce myself into eating more and more fresh to Ok cool and of course we had a long list of all this well thought years. And if you're not used to it then you know what it is and always like it so yes so that's an Indian food I mean come on you know exactly why Meagan Yeah place a middle of the cooking that my mum does near if she just takes up the deal then yeah yeah yeah yeah it's really healthy as well really isn't a healthy you have to lend them tools Yeah I love the no no and every time they could just literally be a curry sauce made as a spice that exact I would like buy a team or whatever you want to be with so I just take my mom's for his niece and I tweak them so I make them here things. And I say you know I do yeah it's good so I know that I'm going to different visual I'll actually not so I feel better Yeah after you know that's really amazing what would you say your 2 favorite dishes ought to get I do like lentils Yeah. I and a dollar a day and it must. Be like red and green yells I also I do like anything with coconut and there's a car you know I made not that long ago and I love sweet potato and chick peas and so one last week using coconut milk and we really I think Biden is so good yeah so I love eating things like that so I don't feel I deprive myself of the tool I am one of those people I will eat what I want Yeah and that's why I will say to people don't go on 5 die yes don't eliminate Don't restrict yourself so long as soon as you say to yourself I can't have that you want it yeah so I give myself permission to eat whatever I want in moderation Yeah but I just choose not to.

For really good. Dancer. Somewhere. To. Paying. Issue. Of you. Chad. I sing up to Monday's Curry show b.b.c. Radio Leicester and that was sweet child by simply read what a great truck guys you are listening to the car we share live on the b.b.c. Radio let's start in the b.b.c. Radio disc kitchen and we just want to give it a shot out to little spice because it's a little spice who is a Sunday so if you remember he's been on a couple of shows with us is Back Bay today so a massive happy birthday to that Chef Zack and let's get an update from. Jeff sorry is that it gives an update what you do on. The onions and peppers are frying in the Coke noise often in the bun a squash and I let that steam for like 5 minutes with the lid on and then I took the lid off because but it's called contains a lot of water so let the water pan out with the with the lid off and I did all my spices in there so I'm just talking through the spices. About. Spice which is in the Indian cooking we have got almost all of which adds heat to a dish and the flavor but like North African cuisine they have Basso who knew like a band of how many how many spices do we know yeah it was a lot when we were reading and there's a lot I really like Well yeah at least 12 different spices and then each fill of area within North Africa has a new twist on it and if he didn't know bits and bobs basically they call it the top of the shelf spice Yes but whatever the shelf with all of them is great is really good is really delicious and what was the spice of beef and you know just 3 quarters of a teaspoon of red chili flakes Himalayan salt some Cuban part of music sleeve got some Danes syrup you know what is that was not supposed to just say honey a lot yeah a lot of Moroccan cuisine put honey at the end of that dish just to add a bit of sweetness. Obviously it's beacon and I don't know some people honey and some people don't so I say yeah I'd like to know actually a week we is honey. Ok so you see I should obviously it's about the natural pool and ask how this will evolve even without They don't know what you want to do you have I will have honey but it's not pop my diet I have dates or so I saw her body so I am well honey when it comes from bees it's not necessarily natural because bees wouldn't be living naturally in hives anything in trees Sorin people sometimes arise easier. But that's the biggest that they might and I practically I've style that's basically food for their offspring so basically and we take it away yeah and it can affect the be very hard. And you can also spread disease as well because what about figs would you guys eat figs. I mean are they I mean I do I am yeah. Yeah I know how they made know here is that from a dead horse for something basically a last goes into. A fig and because it's part of their reproduction systems the way that they reproduce basically they'll lay eggs in the fake and because obviously they can't get out once they're in there they just naturally die and become part of the fig and there were you know. Pretty much already wrote just great great when you have it it's about a week and that you know I don't look at society Yeah Ok All right that's fair enough. This was quick another update from chef she's done something. For the chickpeas into the tomato mixture because I also added the once the spices had like infused uncorked from the chickpeas and it's all just bubbling away and I'm hanging up the coconut milk because I'm going to steam in the 2 Jean with the milk and that's 3 and that's with some cook cook or some lightly spice course Chris has got dried red peppers in there. Great so not. Garlic again it's got like a few have some spices that I think is improving most of news well actually it's in countries where what are we doing with her she was going to toast the cashews and they'll be sprinkled on top for any steamed me on one side. And this prunes Ok we'll talk about that in a bit when you add them in. But also as you know I'm hungry. So the ladies let me see where's my I'm going to have a quick chat with you guys is going to start with Can Oh can I say you know tracks going to be next and they can talk to me Tell me about what what you do what your lifestyle is like what you did. What I did in a previous life I say because it seems like such a long time ago I was an accountant. Is. Really really fun Corey. Enjoyed it I did. It I did because I worked in some really amazing organizations and it was the people you meet as well and I was a financial controller finance manager so by working with people yeah it is you have to be good at numbers you have to be organized and it helps because I am sort of self-confidence confessed I have if o.c.d. I'm not afraid to say I'm not extreme so accountancy was perfect for me everything is in boxes everything is in order. Yeah if you not good at numbers then yet not true probably not you're going to get we're just looking at numbers on you but I did it for so long it quite stressful career a. Very demanding and then I started working for like a smaller local organizations it was very hands on I did everything and you've literally got the company director down there breathing down your neck because they just want that they want the numbers they want how much we made and just like so much pressure and I've always always been passionate about health and fitness and you know my family and friends they know it's not a lot to do you know Jim from a young age and yeah yeah yeah I've always been quite sporty even in school are you still one of the things I was good at because I actually didn't enjoy school till I hated school. So when people said they love school I'm like I want to have a very. No I didn't but I was good at sports and. But it's not encouraged to say you know as a female I'm from an Indian background it's not something that didn't for you becoming a. It's a warning to. You know something I never want to do yeah of course so I'm part of a big family Yeah I'm like one of the middle child. And I thought I was the bra I do want to do anything you know my older sisters did everything you know like I mean girls with a baby which I. Did that I got I need to research that a bit more. But yes I was just like so I ended up doing accountancy because it seemed like a sensible career. But this is my true passion and I absolutely love it so naturally I did their fitness but they're so fast tracked the p.t. Course the last summer we love absolutely love and then it was a case of well Which area do I want to go in yeah you know a lot of people I talk to too many people just focus on weight loss. And to me I mean any type of sort of weight fluctuations you know whether you're putting on weight or losing weight too fast there's usually some sort of underlying health issues going on and people seem to just completely bypass. And I just want to you know everyone's sort of move away from this like trying to fit into a dress is what I want to be dropped a dress size or go on very stylish Yeah healthy or no yet so I just want to take the focus totally off that and really get people to focus on healthy eating healthy lifestyle because being healthy isn't just about the foods that every our environment needs that you know last rest levels how well we sleep so it's huge that sort. Like it's a holistic thing and that's why I was attracted to doing what I'm doing at the minute e.p.t. In the fall I'm not beating at the moment because this causes me is completely taking over my life so I underestimate pressure and Birmingham University yes camp what is the Course it's called and not a particular traditional therapy amazing in this is this more about like food or actual Well it is it's more about it's complementary and alternative medicine I was opposed to allopathy which is your pharmaceutical drugs has a more natural remedies and things like spiral natural Are you really good and it's healing your body through food because if I say to anyone if I said to you medicine What do you think of immediately what's medicine to you. Drugs they are. Exactly those of you make you feel better but at the back you had Yeah they're not good for you and I actually need way out is that easy Wow it's a quick fix Yeah but food is medicine yeah this is you know I mean it sort of it's going back good cool like thing to study like I'd probably be interested we just have so many jaw dropping moments all there's about 50 of us in the class that give us your biggest Georgia Well we shot down you know. And it was. I think I we all do we underestimate the impact of the environment on our health Ok And as a female that just goes every breed the air we breathe what we put onto our skin. And into our body into our bloodstream everything we put into our skin goes into our blood stream and we underestimate that and all our cosmetic of body lotion start shampoos then you know men do not use whole nowhere near as much as a slow media definitely and everything it's got chemicals in it it's got toxins and everything is basically new yes. Yes I think I sort of underestimated the impact of that because there are things. Going on right now you are going to get inside and I look for that we use it but you know there's things that are outside our control and we call it you know we've got to live in this world you know there's so much that we can't control but then there's a huge amount that we can yeah so just making the small changes you know what for what form of natural what natural product would you use for your skin. Or something like. That that you thought if you don't like coconut oil and I'll be your friend Oh and offered up that's what I do when people and I don't agree about you need to leave. If you don't like coconut was we going to be friends yes because literally you have a jar of organic coconut where you can put it on your skin you can put it you know had your body you can take makeup off with is just one pot. And you save so much money yeah you really do so when you do start using clean a product that. You know you do your research and everything and companies all jumping on it more and more now they are you know anything that anyone can sort of there's a lot more awareness around that the younger generation is well really a lot more awareness around it with it being vegan as well so you've got the can cross my takes but I'm more interested in the clean products is the same as with the food as well it's not just be going it's healthy you know that healthy beacon food and you said that was a real jaw dropper for us and we're all sort of say you know which. Use that I mean I changed it straight away I just talk about coconut oil just put it under your tomato actually does the right 6 thing we don't need Deirdre yet because we're it if you're healthy talks is in your body you know you shouldn't smile yeah oh my God So yeah. It was like a rock so it's literally Yeah and you just pour on it and I kind of yes and yeah she lives. Yeah you didn't tell me what you did. That's what you having like you were always money's good you wouldn't know but if you sweat just like talks in your body Yeah really you shouldn't smile Yeah you know unless you don't shine so I hang out with you then you will smile and that's unhealthy So what you put anybody else that will come out yeah if you're in a good healthy stuff you're going to smile as you're going that was not. Amazing is that we will find out a bit more about the whole veganism and savvy women yes we have guys come out and tell you anything about it now but we'll hear about that a bit later we are going to move on to your fast track choice of music this evening and you've chosen Sweet Child of Mine by Guns and Roses tell me why you've chosen this. Song it's my daughter's favorite song and I remember surprising her on her 16th birthday because she didn't want to fast you don't have a party and I was having a party for my birthday I want to just lie all I'm having a party and and then we got this birthday cake for and everything and because I know that's her song because she played a really loud and in the bedroom and everything and it's a really really amazing to do so every time I hear it obviously Sweet Child of Mine is Iowa and she's my sweet child.

Amazing So why am I making mini. For the cold on those with minimal name so basically. They're little coils off feel a pastry and walk put in them is something you can feel you can you see you should sorry pardon me you can usually use different feelings like men's and makes a much different knots and stuff yet so I put in mine cram breeze spices bit of orange. Crimea a mix of ninety's and he likes so it's in there because I know in life dishes like this I do use now. So. I could be wrong I'm just I'm thinking about the club and I'll do it nice and sweet and yeah yeah in fact actually I've been sent to his take on it so I basically salted caramel Oh yeah he did me into it. Yeah he said you know I'm going to give a vet an orange and black pepper cream and I mean I'm sure it's going to go the. Way you say and you just have to bake these Yeah so why basically did I got the feel of pastry but today you have to keep either pastry quite down because it dries out very quickly and then I just made like the not mixing which is quite simple really it's just putting a lot of different everything brown sugar all the spices into a blender and just I roasted the nuts for us by the way just because that roasted nuts playing for a. Minute and a bit of Mars upon is well they're in there yeah well sounds delicious I can't wait for woman soon as I said so it had some of them right but glad I was like yes that is me you guys I'll let you carry on in the kitchen again update from you in a moment we'll move on to Vicky talk to me about Mabel and yourself how you enjoy in yeah 5 evening Yeah this is like my perfect radio show to come on you know being cooks well when you don't. Know about the cooking going on so yeah I'm going to business associations I started with them oh because we're not 2 years ago now and I was a moment I ran in my own business and I was previously a prime schoolteacher after my 2nd child I went back for a while and then it just really wasn't fit in and. You know so we made the option made the choice that I left teaching and to be as to her mom. But I found it difficult and having gone from just being me having. To have a whole life was just based around you know degrees going and. Having the career and just to give it all up and I found it tricky so I started a business so that then I would have to talk about home so I actually went to communicate. Which was just talking to care about which is a natural toxic free and skincare brand because very similar to what Cam was saying your question about getting like toxins out of what you don't need to be in basically. I mean I was looking for ways to get out there more because really in a business. Alongside being a moment can be quite lonely on your own especially when you've been really used to be around a rabbi and a team. But there weren't many network where there weren't any networking events such that I could take my daughter to when I stopped working so that I could be at home with her I was at home with her all the time. Said Ben now $5.00 and $7.00 so she's now at school. But yeah and so I found the moms in its association online and at this point it was just an online Facebook group and I'd seen that they started to run networking events and in Leicester because one of the co-founders Astellas from Leicester they run their 1st one and I was waiting for the next one to come along. And desperate to kind of go out get to meet other people who were doing the same thing as you know they were trying to run a business alongside being a moment and then in that January of that year the opportunity came to be a networking coordinator and so you can myself like going to one of the networking events and then just like what did you take from there that made you want to actually get involved as though it was just by being part of the Facebook group I'm wanting to go to an event and I hadn't had a chance to go to one of their events because it been before I found the group and so then yeah they were looking for a coordinator and I. Wasn't sure I'd never do it it's no never and it's not the actual events not I've never I've never run that networking event experience and but I do like to be the one in charge. You know the I want to organize you know if you're my school like you know the secretary of the Treasury you know I was. Always the one who wanted So anyway I put myself forward to bring in them it will be 2 years in February in the last oh you've done well. And mostly events in Leicester we also have been going across like the whole of Les to share different boards and a is Room different ones and we have an average of $20.00 to $30.00 ladies come every month to our meeting and they're open to all women but we have a focus on mums in business because that child friendly you know really child friendly we don't mean bring your child in the. Corner you know where many of us a mom's We understand you know we want to be able to cope and network and feel comfortable and that's where it's kind of grown from one alongside our meetings we have a community that we've kind of built in Facebook groups so as well as the main mums in business association group that now has over 45000 members across the globe and every area that has networking events has its own group so we have member Lester network and so you know we have over 1000 and nearly 1500 members in and it's just a really supportive community and yeah. Yeah so that's kind of it's not gone we have the several 100 corners across the u.k. You go in kind of global so I also as well as running last helps support the growth of. I mean it is well wired now isn't it yeah yeah said today I've been chatting to a lady in Nigeria a lady in Trinidad meetings there as well as a yes I got there you know they're going to be coming on as called tonight it's really exciting we have quite a large group of course and it's over in Australia that we're getting up to 50 coordinators in Australia and we start in Canada and would just like to turn into the us we have people in it and so yes it's really. Exciting and that's basically why do I work for the mines and is safe and it's open to any Mormons or business any moans on any women is it no more so sure thing oh yeah I know how I am I know how I don't know you and I didn't know she was going to feel no need to visit so it's a lot more of a social thing where you can all just like Get you are going to yours for us. But we always have a speaker that said there is you know there's always a speaker that brings a topic that's going to have everybody's business model word is you know there for you to network to know your business you know as you know people have grown that you know quite a lot since being part of this really you know we have more of an informal feel toward meetings because they are child friendly yes but no it's absolutely that for people to to grow their businesses grow their connections and to collaborate to support each other because that's what really and I think that's why member has grown so quickly because there are so many moms out there are feeling lonely and you know they're trying to really business and I need that support do you have to have a business to be able to join or is it like can you like do you want it wanted to like doing that as a restricted Internet there's no kind of you know we don't say you can't come in your closet group so you know you can just come and join me and what we do have quite a few people who are thinking about Ok and starting their businesses who come and join the community one be part of the community so you know there's not been that stopping people be a part of the the community but there is a definite kind of business focus to it you know and you know we're trying to motivate people all the time we're trying to get them to share their business and share what they do. Provide opportunities for them to grow sounds amazing and solid . Is actually a mom in business so you have any like questions. What you offer because of if you think some people are only thinking about opening their business this is that sort of tools they need to really kick start it yes so be in part like the May moms in Business Association great I'm a. He's in for when you're just because there are a lot of and there's a Facebook group there's also a Facebook page and there's lotsa lives all the time where you can you know go fill it for free and gets we also have a begins to grow page in the style goes live every Tuesday given tips on you know how to run your Instagram how to get your Instagram more visible so.

In Monza bit so Station on Instagram a fellow in a cell he's on Instagram that she is or what you can. Actually to him always if you tell him what was given advice we have in store for you go on my Instagram but I think the main thing you know we're talking about this off is just kind of getting yourself out there you know getting people to know you people buy from people you know and the biggest thing you can do is let people know who you are what you are and the best thing I do when I go look at business is I want to know who's behind that business because that's who you're buying from that's who you start to trust and said that's the the biggest tip that we always give to people is just get yourself out there don't overthink it don't worry about things you know maybe has grown from you know neither style they were based business modems you know but they had no experience in like the things there's been they've released lots of books and there's been a row 100 bestselling authors through the books they've released but they didn't know anything about publishing a book when they 1st published a book but they went out there they did it and they learn along the way and every book that they've released has become a bestselling book that's really good and so it really is you just.

And welcome back to our kitchen with me. About how you can call me but I'm not going to instead tell you that coming up we're going to. Be road allotments in Boston a retro recipe in a very few moments and also how to make Plus why you'll be seeing the hashtag farm $24.00. If you want to get in touch now that I've decided to go back on what I originally said you can take. Your message with the letters. As they would in which will say you have the day off work here in the fens father's recipes when Amy's in the kitchen tries his best to get it right so don't. It's varying degrees of success tonight so I think you'll be OK with a fairly straight forward war but before that let's go back to the ninety's retro recipe is putting the kids. Recipe comes from a book called menus from the cupboard it was published in 1999 that was last century that in my mind is retro is from my very own shelf at home and it does exactly what it says on the tin which appropriate love is what got a lot of on the cover I was going to do the watercress and Satsuma salads but that's basically. I could watercress. The dressings like not really much there instead I've gone for the carrot and egg salad you will need 400 grams of carrots grated handful of flatly parsley 4 tablespoons of stoned black olives and 4 hard boiled eggs quartered with a dressing of 5 and a half tablespoons of oil why the Hoff will find out soon I guess one tablespoon of juice and the pinch of finally grated zest of orange juice of a line or a lemon and sea salt and freshly ground black pepper. Make the dressing in a small bowl. Make the dressing in a small bowl combine tablespoons of oil the orange juice or lemon juice reserving $1.00 to $2.00 teaspoons season to taste toss the grated carriage with the dressing and to what well. Not really inspiring that I want you. Leave to stand up for 5 minutes presumably that's the solace from the 5 minutes and only before serving in the past. Season to taste again and sprinkle with the words of lemon juice and a little more olive oil arrange the quarters of hard boiled egg over the top. To prepare 10 minutes to chill 7 minutes. Oh sure I can find a better use of 70. Retro recipes. Not a particular. A little bit more carefully next time passed. With. That salt and. Then. Again soon. That shoot. You. Down when. You. Start. To. Read it. They are not. However Levine and complicated it is the message from my wife is don't even think about making the retro recipe at home I'm so far ahead of you you would not believe on that one anyway that's living and complicated this is me rambling about in my kitchen and it's not complicated it's summer it's far too nice to be indoors cooking. Hours on end so I'm going to do a nice easy rolling green you need to show a lot of water and chopped it in the path slowly sweating a little bit of late season will release them and we need obviously I've already put the water on in the pan on the boil that will go in shortly you need about 100 grams of. Roll you need a chile couple cloves of garlic and whole a lemon one lemon that's even better than just cut it in half so I like to say the shots are in a sweat into. It just. Short of the garlic and put the garlic in that cup with pleasure Gullit the meat the classic combination really pulls into chili with a little bit of linguini. Really my coping skills homes quite a hell of a Claridge But hey. This one goes in. To the clown the clown. So I think. Very low heat this is. What. Particularly little the speed of water that comes with and when I 1st felt the chilly now. You don't want to halt the police deep seated if you're going to going to do. Slice and little. We count the. Runs. On the same of the other side. We get the ski jumps. Proceeds to become side. Stilson that. Which you will see down to Chile. You can chalk this finally Or as I want. To you have any time. The National Hip Hop and skills. The crew that is towards the quarter end of getting it that we are essentially them and they are Chile. Can go in terms well. Do that or else. You may be a little more oil before this one. You probably think you have this point he seems like a very dry recipe. For the I haven't told you about one of the ingredients of the day we met. Namely. 150 Millington is a double cream. And if you're feeling a bit decadent a splash of white one by one is optional. Cream much the isms I suppose if you don't like cream good news from Rush if you don't do dairy products you could always substitute for and I make some also use or something like I tend to almost an arrival to style schools. But they're switching their nicely to the polls. I'll be honest. With. You. When. I'm working around. Something. And. You can always use crack I suppose as well with his family and friends. In the log cabin that. Will have more of a making mess in my kitchen a little later on a link to your kitchen but now with the time approaching at 20 past 8 let's catch up with Paul Collingwood from Willoughby road allotments in Boston even Paul if when I get on very very well it's a very difficult job to Villa Amy Claridge Lincoln to get Jen She is a master of her art by a mere 8000000 Apprentice but we're doing OK I think let's talk about some big news with allotments got a big grant comes through for artwork Yes we've received phoned in the. 15000 pound 2 who were back so I am and. You probably know that. She used to be on the programme called Money for Nothing on B.B.C. One. She's ours most blacksmith so. We can go through with her will be. Looking at doing still in our work throughout the allotment and I guess I mean because the allotment but it's far more than just a lot and in it. It's beginning to be far more the allotment Yes it is it. Is getting more community based and we seem to get more. Schools nurseries joining groups joining in so again a lot of interest for that especially with the edible Academy project but this will bring as a bit more into people's thoughts and I want once we get the artwork installed and see the artwork because in conjunction with that there will be. Shops on the allotment next is going to do workshops for blacksmithing 3 blacksmiths mobile forge so everybody can have a bash or doing stuff on the forge wherever breadmaking workshop talk of the workshop sketch and call workshop. Style it's see so it's all die within minutes Absolutely I can imagine all going in more ways than one because it is the time of year when everything is everything is growing I mean looking in my garden my same things growing that I'm off I just don't drink because just 11 complaints go she was just about starting on the broccoli has been totally decimated by caterpillars but what can you do have found things going down to the allotment what one of the things that we should be looking out for at the moment are coming very well since I wave. As well as what has been yeah I know it's a no no I think seems to be saying to be OK It's it's it's nearly perfect right weather where warm so yeah everything's on strong. Cause a it's pumping the ground well. And everything seems to be everything has to grow well so tomatoes. Cumbers over solids really really doing well yes everything everything's really doing exceptionally well this year actually. So it's place a it's almost ideal weather for it so hopefully my gun will come good saying I'm sure I'm sure if you're aware I'm sure you get something out of it I hope so too the brains are looking good that is the one thing I can say positive about it in the moment that they are really good yeah yeah that's something. Or if you want it if you could try it if you want to try to be definitive You could try going can allow only brains it's exactly the same as on the brains but you just harvest the brains inside is that are they relevant or shall make a note of that sort of thing to add to my list of things to do you know and beings and one final thing to mention big open day coming up in a couple weeks time yes we've got the wedding if the National Guard is going which is the 2nd I'm in of the year we open the night so yes on the Aug 18th 1032 for. Everybody's welcome they will always fresh mince and so we're looking forward to the National Guard's going this is a big it's a big thing think we've probably right nearly 5600 pound the last 34 years well and so we look for typing for them and looking slightly beyond that we mention the ground for the all work is there a time scale not at the moment they should. Begin to speak to banks tomorrow so hopefully we should start moving in September. That. Brilliant we look forward to that thank you for joining me on the Get your kitchen the saving Paul Collingwood from the will of a lot months in Boston brilliant years that they got that so the ground 15000 pounds for all work to make it even more of a community space in the town of Lincoln's kitchen on B.B.C. Radio Lincolnshire Once upon a time there was a boy who loved to tell stories I wanted to share them with everybody she was the story to join me as I talk to all those about that I think that's where the most interesting thing. And that's where you can also speak the truth find out the secrets to success you don't have to have lots and lots of description but just key details that draw you in and use your ideas to write a story with the down stuck to the screeching brakes. Gentled squeak skip a shout school a massive chunk of track would have disappeared it. Was storytelling last Sunday at 2 on B.B.C. Radio. Da Dee Dee just on radio. I'm telling you all small speaking. B.B.C. Radio Lincolnshire. Downtown gonna move on. Camilla come by and show Mendez Insania Rita almost half our states it's selling it's a kitchen on B.B.C. Radio Lincolnshire with me James lovely couple of stories that have cooled smile I in the past few days they market for Norm Dairy Milk is quite a big one now you get milk all milk coconut milk things like that now you can get P. Milk no really you can it is made from B. Proteins and vitamins and calcium these are splits yellow pays not green baize not like getting leakage of these are grown in Sweden and they're more of a light brown the milk apparently rather than being green which is. Almost comforting I suppose it's available in a certain supermarkets being the B.B.C. We can't really give a new prominence so I will say that the name of this supermarket sounds a bit like bait Bose let's leave it at that Shelly is the price of normal but if your into non dairy products is big and it's gluten it's soil free and it's another alternative they're also this week scientists apparently have come up with a simple solution to the age old problem of Siegel's making your food partly you look them straight in the eyes how do they find this out they put a bag of chips on the ground as bait and they tested how long it took the girls to approach with a human watching it was an average 21 seconds more than when they looked away with most keeping well away I'm not sure that really counts as research to say I can do that with my cats even on watching they won't need things otherwise they will say oh I don't know about that and finally all of this is slightly old news but it's only been brought to my attention this week because I am a big fan of Nick Cave the brooding gothic musician he's a very very good and apparently there is a vegan cookbook called comfort eating with Nick Cave There's also a similar one with Morrissey it's got illustrations and also recipes for vegan food and called the blurb it says when despair and despair deception come knocking at your door get a joint cinnamon roll inside of you maybe you shouldn't let love in the other one of the songs like that but at least you can let tacos and big city in by following the recipes sighing at the illustrations in the book feed your sorrows with delicious vegan comfort food classics along with nix I've been thinking about this and clearly these jokes will only make sense if you know Nick Cave songs but you could have are you the skunk that I've been waiting for liver flyin or my favorite medicinal it's. Yeah let's move swiftly on from that Shelley let's go back to the kitchen let's find out more about how to make that printing we need. OK this is very easy recipes and. They're quick crispy. You think of doing something using cold get in my garden but one thing we did it before we could go into the home got to go get in my garden if I'm growing I think of things that they would tomatoes in the garden but that's a very green I didn't bring something with broccoli in the garden but the caterpillars got witnessed. By. You know. So the water is slowly getting to the boy. Programs it's a pain just to recap then about 100 grams of little king brooms on the frozen fresh if you want a chillin. A couple of cloves of garlic fun jobs to show us all and show us that the body of the polling going neat and the health. Of the one just a splash of what one does if you move within the top of one. You might be thinking What is the 3rd one but you can. Have one or. The use of. If you have an open book and one. Opening you have it the rest of the smell of the one is just starting to walk down from the. Mixture and I . Think you need more. GRAIN. To get a double cream but in not all at once if you put it all once. You tend to swamp it. Was a room with. Cream separating if you don't want. You also don't want too much credit because you've got a. Little bit more. In the way. Now remember I mentioned the lemon I started the recipe should be in half. Squeeze of lemon juice just on the bit of a city. 11 years in L. . Finally the moment. Grows black pepper. Our. Creme Brulee. Water starting to boil. The plaster. Amusingly we've been used to getting. The usual smallish Lancaster's if you can find the long didn't slopes. What. Good looking stuff with you stick. Them we have some pasta are going to go into boiling water. And cook. Well about 10 minutes past the pastor is now Cook's. Drain Yes I do realize that if I was not in the water earlier in. The past and probably been at about the same time the problems have been through to her to read part of the pastor is now done. With color. It just means draining. So fast drained so I can go into the wall. And so I can fall asleep. So just to recap the. Show last shots I swear to down in oil. Couple of the garlic in that into the pan along with a chili. Underground. Of king prawns splash of what 150 mil cream squeeze of lemon cookie down to Pastor serve quick easy What more could you want. From. Stereophonic. Lincolnshire kitchen on B.B.C.

Introducing stage remember we've got coverage from beyond the words Friday from 7 and also south of the evening from 6 here on B.B.C. Radio Lincolnshire Well you would probably see a lot of the hash tag farm $24.00 on social media tomorrow it's all part of 24 hours in farming which is a national event to promote the work of farmers and food producers in the country via social media Well I've been speaking to Lynette Ashmore. Produces L.J. Fairbairn and sons about the event it's the farming industry biggest on 911 and what gives us the chance to shine a light on the great work that you know we do with Grace farmers every day and allows us to raise awareness to the public about where their food actually comes from and how much hard work goes into producing it. I suppose you see the food on the shelves or in the market and what have you but you don't really give that much thought as to the origins of it nice so sometimes you don't like. The place to lay on aware of where all come from and how much of it goes into it so it's good for us to actually show almost a back story to how you know so all of our product actually goes from a farm to actually get on suicide watch out for cause. So what is it a typical journey of an egg from chicken to shop. When I got laid on day one at that point we'll have to transport it to our packing centers where all of the eggs are checked and graded to ensure they're the best quality eggs possible and that at that point they would go on to lorries and then we would deliver them into street markets across the U.K. How long in total it is that journey from the bomb to the retailer with 20 days 4 days is a very fresh here very fresh A growing up which is what the customer wants and as you say that it's important that as an entire sector businesses associated with agriculture get together and promote themselves is all very well doing it individually but if you do it collectively from a coiled Oh yes definitely So I mean this this year following last year this is last year translating with a record breaking year that actually saw 5000 contributions from the world of farming for some politics or for their support behind it so this year hopefully we can top that and have another record breaking year let's talk about fab and as a business how many eggs per day per week per month to produce or do the chickens prevail in now with we've gone from having. 150 shekels a 950 we're on to now selling 70000000 eggs every week and that continues to grow well quite a staggering figure really it's almost impossible to comprehend I'm struggling to do. And I would have thought the feathers the linkage to the producers that many eggs but you can understand when I was producing that many eggs and selling that many I do a lot of hard work that goes into it not just about the farming side the so much diversity to agriculture it's not just necessarily being a farmer in a field anymore it's a lot more advanced than absolutely global marketing the transport the logistics everywhere it's all going to work as a form the old regime and everything working in synergy. Yes it does the math think that because we control every part of the process that makes it a lot easier to go into managed to ensure that ever think it is perfectly it can be so to recap what form 24 involves So it's taking place father am tomorrow and so far away I'm on the 9th of August and involved bomber so that the guy taking social media you in the hash tag on 24 to show you how they you know go about their normal day we basically sat photos and video of what goes on in a normal day are forming I guess social media now is breaking a whole new dimension to how you get the word across here is a really powerful platform it just ensures that we can you know get that message out to customers get out quickly and we can do it through pictures and video to actually show them what happened Bob and trying to explain that on ASH more of and Sons based in Lincolnshire lots of can see companies farmers getting involved in that 24 hours of farming tomorrow if you want to follow it the time to look out for is farm 24 right normally Amy finishes her show with I fuk related songs and dubious 10 U.S. Food related so I'm going to move forward slightly This is Hot Chip. Times with different words. Coming. Commentry of Lincoln City Home and Away B.B.C. Radio. Lincoln away at robbery night on Saturday all of the action in Hope and Glory from 2 o'clock here on B.B.C. Radio Lincolnshire will great British Beer Festival he's taking place at a Limpia in London at the moment Bateman's brewery based at Waynflete one of $71.00 breweries who are up for the accolade of champions of Britain Sadly they didn't win but they respect Jacqueline Bateman about the festival and how it's not just a case of turning up on the day David usually on the Saturday and Sunday before the dance festival because obviously they have to settle so it has to be in its prime condition so yes it's not quite his chemically logistic nightmare particular Cameron the way they sort it out and they do a fantastic job and it's an essential because the been doing amazing condition. It's a very large building a limp a bit just hope that once also my street down the side where I must be absolute chaos down there with the base arriving there's a 1000 beds some 250 breweries and yourselves as well you'll have to tell us which beers you've taken. Well the camera she order the Bears so it's up to what they want to water because we don't actually have our own stand share and this year they would have a triplex B. And our experience on the bar. Oh that's interesting our convo mentioned you had your own stand this of a they decide which of you will go down there which is interesting here get me to get a choice I guess we can influence them if we think that's not going to be suitable for the occasion we one stage they once had my mild inside importers which in the middle of summer is not the best to have 2 beers on so you know if we think it's actually not right we haven't got the brew going at that stage then we do actually trying to influence in other ways but yes we don't any more have a stand here but we do still have a standard. Camera beer festival and how important is it to you as a Lincolnshire brewery to take your beers to such large events does it have to have additional benefits to make the awareness of. Obviously takes it further afield than just Lincolnshire because and it gives a wider appeal to all beers so yes it's a very important festival for us have you wanted before is my memory playing tricks on me no it's not that we're a national. Champion they're written in 1906 with our triplex be nice maybe 6. Few years ago now but it seems like yesterday oh that's interesting now have you been trying to regain that crown of the sense that we've always wanted to and it will be amazing this year if we manage to keep a Scott the new and the new brew I mean he's only winning brewing there for 3 or 4 years and so even for us to. In the final it is a great accolade for him his Isn't it is incredible and again if you win that will bring national attention to you does it help with things like sort of selling to other parts of the country especially if you know almost how it is it can't quite put it in words. You know how great this award is because unlike war civil war there awards this is a consumer award and obviously you can see Lord is very very important because it tells us what the consumer thinks of our products Jacqueline basement of Mons brewery can measure ations to them and not winning the award of champion Britain but I'm sure that your average punter will just think well it's still good pint of beer of theirs available in the counting naturally but you do support your local breweries well that speaking of supporting local breweries that's exactly what camera do the Campaign for Real Ale. Also spoke to their chairman Nick and Turner the pub is the the the center of most communities it's the meeting place that people get together and enjoy a good laugh and a good chat and and be part of the community so still very much in your own you and your camera I guess you would say to a point but still they are really important places pubs are they as you say they're their place to get together mate yes and they pay a pivotal part in people's well being research that we carried out with Oxford University demonstrated that those people who had some what they call their local and enjoyed going down their local were happier had were less likely to be lonely and had better mental health and it's not just the social benefits that pubs create and provide the industry supporting nearly 900000 jobs in the U.K. And contributes 23600000000 pounds to the U.K. Economy annually classing that's important isn't it as big Well let. It's a massive part of the country's finances but more importantly the employment the 900000 people a very big proportion of those young people and it's the stepping stone for lots of people into just work working in the pub is probably the 1st job I ever did so if youth unemployment would be substantially hit if we lost the industry. And Turner chairman of camera speaking to I mean morning earlier this week that's just about it from Lincoln to kitchen this week Amy will be back in this very seat next Wednesday also be back on 930 on mid-morning tomorrow many thanks to Mr Gering from Lady roses tea rooms my guest in the studio this evening all of the details they can find on the website for them with the roses dot co dot U.K. We will leave you with in excess and new sensation.

It's great to have you joining the party on a faith Middleton inviting you to eat drink and be merry with us right what a show this is going to be a Colorado heaven is here it exists in Brooklyn where 3 guys from Italy who love food open the world's 1st avocado bar it's called avocado Rio and so is their cookbook it is a huge hit there are lines down the sidewalk we have all these recipes to talk with you about there on our website too sure there's a kind of toast but there's also an avocado burger Tanko crested slices and avocado blueberry pancakes made with brown sugar coconut milk aged rum glazed with fresh ginger syrup we have 3 recipes from the book on our site and that's not all we have a new delicious boxed wine and a story about it's a white wine for the season coming and a story about how Stonington Connecticut farmer Craig Floyd gave up his farm store he did this I can't believe it because the products were so good he gave it up to help feed people who are hungry it's going to blow your mind what he's doing my beloved food buddies are here Chris Presbury Alex province from k j z z in Phoenix and senior producer Robin Dorian Aiken Hey everybody hates. Listen we're going to go crazy in a minute but I want to introduce our guests on the show we have 2 people who actually in support of the Connecticut Children's Hospital bought chairs to sit in and watch the show as it proceeds and. We just appreciate that they did that so much it's Lisa Kunkel and her daughter Laura Congo of Avon Connecticut and they're sitting in the chairs watching all this action and we love to have you on the show thank you very much thank you they are happy to be here Chris you're my avocado buddy Alex. We are nuts about keeping on the counter at home and at work there are foods in the world where of course there are people who say I don't want to mind my going narrow there's something about a condo I don't think I've ever heard anyone say I hate and. You know I hate Yeah I would eat one every day if I had a ripe one around i do eat one every day Ok there is a place in New York City in Brooklyn it's called I have a cut a real it's really pretty much become an overnight success it is an avocado bar it is of a condo of a condo up a condo all the time they were. On the sidewalk and of course we know that the condo is a beautiful food and some would say a super food we're not going to get into the science of that but it really is so if the you have creativity about what to do with no as they do at the bar and in this cookbook called after their place. You know kind of the idea being ideas for a happier healthier life and since I have avocado every single day I have. To be rested . 3 authors on this book Alessandro b.g. Francesco but our Kathy our guest and now Barito good I mean e Francesco Welcome to the food schmooze party I think. Where you from in Italy I'm from me. Oh yes lucky I'm glad you're here. How did you get the idea to do an avocado Bar Kochba react as you call like would that idea come from. It all started when I would be in Mexico and the formal interview I think because of 16 I thought well most for Mexico City and of course as you might guess that is not a very I am for that is not something that. Is not a big element is amazing and I but when I moved to Mexico. I kind of bred for us. About how do you write about. Something that I am in love with since they won because on one hand I get such a. Feeling for the fact the Pruett say makes you feel says here is a fact I don't gather it's a very. Kind of unique combination of they had to get with the putting general because usually what you like the most is what is the most before you went by but that's how you like to say. So but I'm just going do you think that of a condo there are some people who are afraid that I have a condo it is considered a quote unquote healthy fat the way nuts or some people are afraid of a kind of will make them fat do you think so well I've been. Pretty much one of the how. I last. Living proof. Is good and has to set. Something that is for example suitable for a person we seem to. Really the quality that that makes all of the. And no they don't stand for your body so badly not something that will make you fat. That each and every day and many doctors are now sure the benefits of eating of the cattle so often found just go exactly the same I too have a condo every day except for the part about the 8 pounds. Ok so let's start to get into the recipes that we have on the website thanks to your generosity foods moves dot au argy and the 1st one is you might ask yourself how is it possible to make a burger and make it feel substantial the way a burger does they make at their of a career in Brooklyn they make end of low burger I'm blown away by that what exactly is it well let's go through the ingredients as you very quickly see you've got the avocados that are pitted in peeled you've got yogurt with fresh herbs you've got a room smoked salmon a watermelon radish which is a gorgeous radish if you don't have those you'll get just a regular radish lime a lime Citrin a dressing now we see where this is going all of oil and you think really hullaballoo on top of the because I don't lawyer that's naturally in it and maybe some black sesame seeds on top for sprinkling tell me how it is that this works this all the burger. Behind it was for. One of the most iconic of. The kind gentle. Worker and we are we kind of approach is a way to make that much as we are and to make it as basic as a boy or girl so the 1st thing that the type of. If you had a very sure. Hike on the. River I did dabble out of the bread to make it fun so that we have a word that we got an avocado we have of the skin. And we. Lower. The bottom side of the back. Yeah that. Would infuse we do to the flavor and that's our hope you version of my union instead of the meat we put some on. Which is a substitute for that protein and. That's it this is so this is so smart because when you look at the photograph of this you'll see it at our site such mist and oranges when you look at this picture and you've got the top half of the peeled of a condo and the bottom half it looks exactly burnt Ackley like a burger and plus they sprinkle the black sesame seeds on the last like it's got the same so it's like I said. And I think you might thing it with fork and knife yes it's a few for connecting with and unless you're messy the way I am it's so if you just . I love this and this Citrin that dressing is a beautiful you'll see our recipe for that Citron addressing to so wow love that Ok so we're talking with Francesco Brett Cathy and he is co-author with his compatriots of the Rio They are each from Italy they've opened this of a kind of bar the 1st in the world in Brooklyn New York so go there. Ok let's do I love texture in food I pay attention to this because I think it makes food much more delicious the mouth the brain everything you just love it so this was smart when I think about avocados I think how do I do this and they have done it they're going to crust and avocado wedge with Penco Crosse So this is painful crusted avocado which we have this on our side too oh oh there's a dipping sauce and there are the wedges the dipping sauce consists of a little cornstarch that's always present to thicken something some tangerine juice I suppose if you didn't have tangerines around at the time you could use a fresh orange and then rice vinegar or apple cider vinegar a little sugar Aleppo Pepper you can get that anywhere. Everywhere you can get it and then disaster of either the change or mean or the orange that's going to make your dipping sauce for your wedges but remember they're going to be crispy on that Ok Francesco Alex is with us from Arizona he's in the land. There probably just away from me just trying to get the ground on his property so yeah I'm never going to get something that really decided to do to make it has your question for much of Frank and when you look at the final issue it actually reminds you of these laws which make and french fries so that the feeling that we give when I give them is when they try and I give it and you don't even begin to make it and the preparation is very easy you cock. Over from huge build up you get 3 wedges so that you tell how do we fix what. You grab it and you just put in the open so it's a very easy prey shall give you a very crusty crunchy. On the outside a creamy and soft and a Inside side being that. The product you know creative way because usually able to. Hold what is the be good option to the crotch there was a chef is still there he's in France he would go out into nature and search for things that had been amazing Laver if you put them with something else so this man would go out to the forest in the countryside in France and grab pine needles off a pine tree and then he would come back and he used those pine needles in a dish to flavor something and that makes me think of how all ways people have played with foods that we no longer have around and will continue to do so so I think about. The famous band Spanish guy who started doing all this kind of wild chemical stuff the reason I give that little talk is to say that there is in this cookbook and which short for have a car and vote chocolate mousse Now think about these 2 textures matching together where you have to have sort of richness of the aba condo itself in the greedy and stat would make a chocolate mousse But there's also in here a puff to Kamla for sprinkling on the top because clearly this trio of the town eons know that texture is everything that there's a sense of a substantial. He there just given to people from multiple textures so if Francesco Tell me about this you have preferred. That we we like to try to find the perfect balance within actors of flavor and we think that you need to have the right amount of crunch to be enjoyable so to make the days we decide to do you do or need or need to keep the baby for you Allman milk or coconut milk so this is a theory free for people who need that Ok go ahead yes it's a Didn't talk of the house so that. If I am more at you on that side of the flavor because it up the Playboy you can back me feel like people . But the question is this actually going to make it might be a marriage that arrival. And there's orange zest in here so the book is called to Rio It is the same name as the condo bar the 1st in the world in Brooklyn New York everything in here is an avocado recipe these 3 men who did this are from Italy and are running the entire operation have now decided to do a cookbook and I love I think every begin in New York and beyond must be going to this place to get this movie and we have it really lucky we have it on the site so if you're feedin or if you just think sure I'd like to cut back on the cream and stuff have a look or gee Francesco you doing a jalopy and let me jump in and say because we're out of time my dear friend so yes he's got avocado ice pops in here of course so it's kind of. And our guest has been front Cesco briquette d. And he and his friends have done this book and they. I have the upper corner bar in Brooklyn in New York thank you Francesco thank you and just ahead since I have a car to Rio is a single theme restaurant and we're going to explore that a little bit what are the other single being restaurants around the country and around the world more mouthwatering conversation and fun ahead on the face of Middleton food schmooze I hope you will make a charitable contribution to feed the hungry that will be important as the show goes on you will see about that we're on line now I moved out o. r G.

Some of these single thing restaurants but Chris because you have a restaurant how do you know mix work for something like this it can work already and I've got one in the water Bray have been going to 1st so many years and when I tell you what it is you'll be like it's like you know no no but it's a single but that's what I'm trying to get it that's a single thing Braestrup Yeah now it's black and you. Know Are you telling me no French Fry No no no no but they only sell out dogs rightfully that's in Cheshire though Ok it's in Cheshire I said the one I'm going to yeah Waterbury Yeah yeah yeah but it's right on the land Yeah but that's all single thing you must know it so you have them around like a couple of side course and qualify Yes and I'm sure you can get potato chips on the side Ok well so there's a place in New York City that I used to wander by all the time and it's called Meat Ball and that's all they sell every kind of meat and. I think that yeah one time I was in Nice in France I was walking along the boardwalk and all of a sudden I came upon a restaurant and I thought Ok someone revive me because I have to faint dead away and it was truffles and that's all they sold everything was trough every single dish I'm sure. I have now does that qualify though and so you know it was about a $1000000.00 if you did it so I did go in and order something what I could afford at that time was you know the French and so I did sort of travel the thing and the French people sitting next to us looked over at us and we were staring at their plates and so they can do it as you know they do you. Know we pull apart you hear that I think so anyway there you go there's Or did an entire truffle restaurant my version of heaven go home. I have one from the seventy's if some people are out there that can remember this what it was the 1st rust on my older brother working when he was like 16 and it was in the city it was called the crap and they did it was great right does anyone remember that that was I don't know like gosh like I loved it and they had dessert once and see everyone. Yeah of course tell invented back. In New York there is a place called smack s.m. Which all they do is macaroni and cheese. That one undisputed king of mac and. What about in Spain they just do pulled ball like octopus Oh sure you have a huge copper pots and they're famous It served on a wooden board it's lies they had a little. Olive oil and paprika and salt and you just eat it with a toothpick but that's all they do special and it's the best ballboy ever have so in New York there's another place called Rice to riches Yeah I like that well I've heard of that one and one is that it's all right it couldn't have and you know from savory to sweet and rice of every kind of thing dumplings Yeah so you don't tell anyone that's been around for a long time to write Chinese restaurants I just sort of dumplings those in Iran forever yeah we could easily find things that have been around for a long long time you arguably could say that in the old days when it was just donuts Dunkin Donuts was one of the single themed places yeah and there are still some other places but usually they morph into to sustain the business a few other things someone took me to one in l.a. Called p.b.j. Yeah that one's on the list of is that if that make the list yeah yeah yeah and I'm not a big fan about it just like you have to go to this I'm like What is it all we're not telling you you're walking to oh my gosh I'm going to have a peanut butter and jelly sandwich. And a big slice of joke so one of the advantages of the groups of immigrants coming from various countries in the world is that. They see that people might like or they are particularly good at making a single dish and they say I found this little spot in the shopping mall I'm going to try this and they open up a restaurant that serves just that thing and so we start to see from different immigrant learned to use these dishes so in Texas there is a place in Houston called bun both Hugh duck Chong So the dish is called bun both Hugh and for anybody who hasn't tried this this is pig knuckles with noodles and lemon grass and ferment it shrimp sauce that some people have had. I think it was delicious I bet it tastes better than that so I bet it's a knock out I'm telling you I'm better than a car Ok so there is a place in Dallas Texas different part of Texas called Siri ality and of course the service Oh my God My kid has been that right you can thank you case I growl it lunch or dinner. Freshman year college just eating well seriously so in London we were talking about grilled cheese in New York and London there's a place called the melt room and what is this is a grilled cheese in a frying pan you know all these innovative ways there is a remember the fish and chips fish and chips restaurants would be and on occasion in New York but basically running around London and Scotland in often it would be a truck in your neighborhood at night that's all the surface of the raft in the newspaper and yeah so all vinegar so could we say that food trucks basically are all that could be some of them that just serve one thing yeah why not move the food truck it's doing only French then there was a grilled cheese truck right here in New Haven from my on line search I learned that the. Whole trend started you know something started in London around like 2013 and 14 and it's just gotten bigger and bigger and bigger and like all good things just spread out throughout the world you mean the single thing that kind of started was grilled cheeses and then it exploded into other things meatballs like Crystal saying that p.b. And j. Is but some of those p.b. And j. S. Are pretty fancy it's not just like regular peanut butter and raspberry jelly like hearts they're from their Qian tea jolly and just all kinds of wonderful it's the p.b. And j. Of your adult dream so not like for kids I've seen places that are just french fries that's it just every French fries dial and flavor that you can possibly think of with all kinds of things poured on top Do you remember the I think this needs to sober turns daughter who did the poor Kedah sure shop that evolution is you could touch the left right wall if you see extended your arms there were 5 stools and you would just go in there and he worker per kilogram that you served is 10 was life for unbelievable you know what this reminds me of is going to like a county fair and then you walk up and down and you say you some guy doing like yeah awful French fries they're good at if you're a rose or something of course we know there are fried chicken places they just have fried chicken so this blue ribbon fried chicken in the East Village great great place there is this thing called the nugget spot and it's all chicken nuggets I don't know if you had favorite I do without you being various dipping sauces Yeah you know different and dumplings really it's amazing how many of these places are really good for kids sense a lot of times kids eat one thing so. It's the sign for them yeah exactly and then for indecisive people like me there's no I don't know are good enough but you're having chicken and I guess that's what I mean. There's a place in Edison New Jersey called I think it. It's a potato place quoted Toby Yeah I don't know how you think if it's hard to guess what this New Jersey fanatic started doing to Tito's with different sauces and cooking to potatoes different ways and it's just wall to wall potatoes what would be yours your singles restaurant and we already did have a connoisseur he can take now and again says I've always wanted to do this you know you know how you can sleep at night yeah this is what I'm doing I'm thinking about it what is my food truck going to be so you know there is no I was short answer to that question I have about 50 ideas I've got it and I'm not going to tell you 3 more you know what mine has always been going back it's the hot dog it's not funny for all I could get all the food I make I've always wanted a hot dog place I really enjoy the leader of the whole you know I mean take it way up when I do not want that lot of Iran hot dogs and do like every kind of hot dogs start with the simplest play not that we're going to find one if a then yes how she knew if I did I love how she knew so I would love hot dogs and there's some Always regular hot dogs you can get I would but no one's ever taken hot dogs to different places why not have the like a salmon hot dog I don't know really I'm telling you and I think it could be we have salmon sausages anything you can do a sausage you could do it anyway that's my dream one day and that's my retirement job and I'm going to open a joint you can come see me you know be a little shocked come see you I'm.

And ready it's the perfect right that that perfect time to eat it and you just that's all you service by Alex you spend 2 thirds of your time in Arizona now because your husband is there I would suggest that if you're going to do a pie a truck you do it there because it sure it would be genius title here but doing it in Arizona people would be in line for miles I think that's what I go to drive a truck to Oh yeah yes and I just don't pick a 940 s.

This is the party offering the richness of life and coming to you in Connecticut Rhode Island Massachusetts and New York including Westchester County the east end of Long Island the Hamptons of course the senior producer is Robin Dorian Aiken and to hear this show on Connecticut public it airs Thursdays at 3 and 9 and Saturdays at new podcasts and our curated recommendations are always online at www dot r g as you probably know by now here's the deal we have a box wine to tell you about and then Craig Floyd is going to join us you know going to believe that this man has done so here's this boxed wine now a lot of boxed wines are not really so fantastic they're Ok this is a delicious one that we have found in it is called close to me air it is from the Rhone region of France and we've talked about the red on the show quite a lot and we've talked about the rosé on the show this is just released in our region it is the white wine 2018 Alex province you're the one who discovered this in the 1st black and I really like this one I just purchased a whole bunch of boxes because I thought Ok here's my summer white this ad. Bridges out to be there are 4 bottles in Razor tiny box which seems impossible if you think that just like one of those cars. Really every time. They just tell you to go and I know. It's because the air is out the glass is gone the 4 bottles really do fit in here you can do them glass by glass and check if you want it's 3 leaders and it comes out to around 8 $59.00 a bottle and it lasts in the refrigerator because of the way it's vacuum packed it lasts for 6 months 9 months it's unbelievable and you just press the little thing on it and the liquid This has. Applied this has to be really there to serve wine from now on right in the b. And it is the glass is getting crazy the corks are impossible in this thing just makes so much that if the wine inside is good 100 percent I do like this one so Alex tell us about this cloud Lumiere white wine all the ones you bring on faith are like made by families no junk authentic real so the poor wine when it gets to be put into a bottle it doesn't know the difference whether or not it's going into this box or not so it's like so good for the environment I think we're going to see a shift of more good wines going into boxes so when it is snowing where it's a blend of Granada the workhorse of the South of France and Spain it's going to want more belong which is that champagne that we love cat great and then Vo which gives it that smell so you guys getting all the aroma orange an innocent Christmas and I mean this is just Summer Wine This is what's I'm here for trader I love it here for the boxes in your refrigerator it wouldn't even take out how the space for bottles a lie and then. What makes it so environmentally friendly is welfare and you can ship a container so much more economically so the emissions are half of glass Yeah wow you know what it was it last it has to be recycled this is just collapsed putting the recycle bin in your recycle and I just remember last year I went to a birthday party and it was a significant party for somebody and they said you know would you bring the wine and I brought a row of these boxes set them up on the table so that the spout the spigot was hanging over the edge of the table put the glass next to it said to everyone have at it and they would just come up to any of this. The most fun they can feel so much I don't. Know if you're thinking it's a bad one but this is the same exact one that's in the bottle and you can bring it to like a pool you can bring it camping you can bring it on the boat it's so small and you just have to get over the fact it's in a box and this wine does come in a bottle so if you don't believe it you can we've done this drink it side by side it's the exact same wind the wind how much Yeah I'm just the bottle 15 bottles $1516.00 so the reason why it's cheaper is it's so much more economical for a winery to have it in a box than in a bottle bottles are expensive like you said Chris at their expense of the May they're bad for the environment boxes are just so much more economical there's no way you can get a better glass of white wine 50 you can buy So $3435.00 a box you're committing to 4 bottles that will last through much of the Into in Egypt so you're still carrying that glass home either so there's no wait I love it I really do it's good wine you can write on the box to say you forgot the card you just write on the box happy birthday and I think it sounds like you're doing that well you say the words are you speaking for me you've been a little bow on top yet you've got tired bow you even have to wrap it. First film. In line we tell you who the distributor is it will make it so much faster for you if you just call ahead to your store they can stock everything call ahead to your store and say Would you order this for me and they will go to the distributor that we say on the website so it's food. And the distributor by the way is wine bottle love it Alex thank you so much for the how glad you like it. Ok so I wanted to let you know we have Craigslist coming up with an amazing story but I want to let you know 1st that there is a restaurant on the north fork of Long Island and it is called there is a restaurant in New York City 1st of all and that's the owner who's decided to take advantage of the space so he owns peasant and his the chef a peasant in New York City are a calling this is Pooley a style cooking so he goes to out to the north fork of Long Island and he sees in Greenport a restaurant and I don't blame him because I wanted to live in the space this old wharf straight into the water with this red sort of barn like building. On the land side and then the wharf you know dock goes right straight off of that for boats and stuff and he looks takes one look at it and thinks I'm going to open a restaurant here and he opened last year and I was they are just wrote to me I'm going to jump off the building. Open this for dad so is in fact his season opens again on May 24th Barbara Bianca which stands for white beard in Italian this is chef to. Carlo It is so beautiful he has these black and white striped cushions and sable hawse straight in the line of the dark it is one of the most romantic sightings you exhibit olding still read the building is still read the bar is to cool less the waiters are all these young Italian guys the food is really good it's the real telling and stuff it used to be a kind of ship's chandlery and big just have got to go and both are welcome so you can tie right up at the dock Yeah during the pope I think Barbara be a r.b.a. Bianca as in white white beard Barba Bianca like a sailor Well depending on when half the sailors at the party to the corner of the mouth. Yes the women are all nodding Thank you all right now I've got to know because you started talking about Floyd's farm and what he's doing at the farm stand I got to know what is he doing yes this is Craig Floyd he's had a farm and his family for generations they're North Stonington and pork chickens and stuff well he was doing that but now Craig Floyd has decided to change his life he's changed a lot of other lives in the process Craig Floyd Welcome back to the food schmooze party oh hey how are you buddy Ok dory. Great to hear from you so would you please tell people how you gave up the product selling business that you were in before and what you have chosen instead I'm sure you don't know 1st off farm which was Connecticut's 1st sort of like a main form and then I got hired by the nature center up to retire from the Postal Service legged Jones hired me to to cut brush and then get involved to a garden because we want to keep to your farm farm so we developed a garden. You know I'm 73 and I believe in put 100 percent into what I do so it was more important for me to feed children what it was to put money in my pocket book and you know in fact the last one I was on your show on the way home I got a call from monster storm and swung one after a place and and had a good time there but now what I'm doing is by far more important you know there's 23000 sort insecure people in rural and county 40000000 in this country 13000000 are children the food you're eating is absolutely junk food and we have an opportunity to change that we also have an opportunity to reduce global warming save the planet one carrot of time to teach people we don't need to have a green thumb and one of the be able to approach great food what are you doing at the farm to make this happen regenerative no chill no spray farm which means that we actually work with Mother Nature I learned a long time ago that if Mom is happy everybody's happy and that is particularly true when it's Mother Nature so we build soil the way she wants us to build it which means we do it in layers and we don't use any chemicals whatsoever in there and we focus on the microbiology and the soil which gives a healthy plant and then turn around and the healthy plant then becomes compost which equates to healthy soil so the bricks quality the nutritional value of our food is back to pre-one 940 levels because right now you know I could hire Tyler Anderson to come in and do a great meal for me and fantastic but even though it tastes good doesn't necessarily mean it's good for you so your food has lost 50 percent of its nutritional qualities just $140.00 homes is up to another 30 percent within 3 days coming out of the field we are feeding our children foods that are supposedly 80 percent efficient and I would suggest that God did not intend our bodies to work that way so we are here to make a huge difference what happens to the food you are growing how much of it you growing and who gets to. 100 percent of what I grow is donated at no charge to the game rent food bank in London and in the last 5 years we've donated 20 tons also which equates to about $93000.00 meals which is nowhere near enough but we're growing in enough production our food actually has picked up on Tuesdays and goes to a mobile food pantry which then goes to 10 different locations or out the London County to help feed the 23000 who'd insecure people there are times that I can get my produce to the customer in 5 hours my gosh. Craig's way did a ted talk. And I couldn't even believe my eyes and ears course we all know Craig and we thought of that yes he would do this and he has done it and I'm a huge fan of New London as a community and I'm so touched by this I can't tell you. Craig what is next to you just keep just the farm you have I don't know how many acres there are disaffection just getting bigger and bigger What are you going to do knowledge doesn't exist are bought the historic open farm in 2013 we are actually at 162 women develop a new and mystic So if you get off an exit 90 or 95 like you're going to go to the seaboard or downtown mistake or was it one of our many fine restaurants down there you must go by our farm we have a big blue tractor front yard with with what's ours wheels up this is a 45 acre farm was established on the 16th that there's it once ran all the way from Mystic to oldest acknowledge it was a huge farm but now we've got a $45.00 acres left and that's a part of the Genesis because sheepish nature center and then I mean who's working land Well I have 370 volunteers I am extremely blessed good people they gave me 4500 hours last year I have one lady that does 500 hours a year typically But more importantly the staff here at the Nature Center you know they're behind the scenes people see my face but they don't see the face of the people that are really doing all the work they bring to the volunteers and they bring you the publicity and together the entire organization we're not just about saving salamanders and als we're about saving the planet you can call been in the soil and Save the Children of science on Craig are you giving out recipes along with the sued to help people turn the food into Trisha's dinners Yes Actually our own one of our volunteers Carol general she provides recipes and we stick them in a bag on the side of the harvest. And then when it goes through the mobile food pantry those recipes get it turns out in addition to that we run regular classes in our classroom here on how to do what it is we do we get people from all of the world come to visit more will contact me and ask how is it you do that you know what makes you so different from other people and you really don't need to use a killer or a plow we're trying to help the food insecure not only by teaching them but also providing them with what good food but also teaching people to have a garden as an example start your garden Yes Ok so then the question is is how tall is your tomato plants typically get well the year we dumped manure they got huge. Thousands of pounds more than we could eat the top of 6 feet tall 8 feet they got pretty gigantic the potential of a tomato plant is 22 feet tall $300.00 pounds one point to nothing here that tall I know it's all about the soil microbiology in the soil and understanding that in every home gardeners should be using quantum quantum as all microbial comes from green earth agone turf other Branford Connecticut and one gallon will create an acre you know thing you need is a good soil test you know typically I ask people all the time if you take a sloth as no I didn't take a salt as well how do you know your soil is any good so there's a lot of things that we teach people here you know on how to make teas and how do you see we does compost and you need to come see me and learn how to do this and learn how to feed your grandchildren there's a bottom line in 2004 cane the United Nations put out a worldwide alert that the current rate of soil degradation we have 60 years of soil left on the planet we must change how we farm and the Nature Center is teaching that we can save the planet one carrot at a time but we've got to change how we do it and when people are hungry they're hungry there are places who say oh we have in our super Mark. Left over cinnamon bought in for those and going sometimes to places that serve the hungry and we're talking here about Whole Food other life commitment fresh food food that truly feeds a person and I'm just knocked out by what you're doing increase I want to say I'd like to volunteer to do some kind of event or do something for you so already here here is the offer Thank you for being on the show thank you so much for playing with I was Ok we love you thank you I love you so that was Craig's small oid footsteps farm in North Stonington Connecticut we're on Connecticut Public Radio Thursdays at 3 and 9 and Saturdays at noon weekdays listen for my 62nd feature muses and never became more than you can lift in New Haven Middleton.

Chicago it's American life America has the story that we bring you today is kind of classic mystery story a classic mystery of a very particular card it's a real life Hardy Boys story I may be an episode of Scooby Doo There's an old abandoned house some kids stumble upon it inside to break in. And then at that point they kind of hit the jackpot kid wise the place is filled and I mean filled with fascinating stuff it's also creepy and mysterious and there are kinds of tantalizing clues about what happened there which they decide to uncover and which ends up taking years decades actually we are devoting our entire show today to this one story house near loon wake the 1st broadcast the show in 2001 if you in your car right now as you hear this I hope you have a long drive ahead of you so you can stay tune if you're at home and it's night you may consider turning down the lights at a backman tells the tale it was my brother's idea to go down to the lake we brought an immediate firecracker and we wanted to detonate it in the shallow water or east to swim we were 11 and it was late fall of 977. We were visiting a place called Freedom New Hampshire a small town of a few 100 people just across the border from Maine. My dad volunteered to do some maintenance work at a summer camp I had once gone to my brother Kenny best friend Ian and I went along . We'd been inseparable growing up but now Kenny had started hanging out with an older crowd and I'd been seeing less and less of me and since I just transferred to a new school. I was in a funk about losing touch with Kenny and so for me the stakes for the weekend were a little higher than usual. In normal times like to go shoplifting or set things on fire that Halloween we take in cans of w.d. 40 and going from door to door spraying it in the mouths of jack o'lantern still flames burst out their eyes and they blew up in balls of fire. This is my brother Kenny he's now 37 and he's a scientist I think. You still worry a little bit about spending too much time with us or being brought into our bad influence because I think we Toddy and about you know throwing wood chips at cars and we tidy in about unfolding paper clips that you could shoot them at people and so on. So we were wandering around looking for something to do and we saw the house it was grey weathered and leaning precarious Lee at one end the windows were boarded up from the outside 2 old cars probably from the 30s sat in the yard one of them had a tree growing up through a hole where the engine had been at the back of the house we found a window that was broken and I remember appearing in into near darkness I don't know who's kind of a derrick kind of thing that's my friend there was one of these things where we just would say you know. That house wouldn't you and he would say no problem going that house candidate would say that that house looks fine and none of us really want to go because we're all scared. But we did it. In was the skinniest So it was decided that he should go in 1st he slid sideways through the broken pane so he wouldn't get caught and disappeared after maybe 10 seconds he scrambled back out clutching a newspaper it was brown and I remember it crumbled in our hands they had line said something about Nazis invading that was all we needed. One by one we climbed into the house it was dark inside the only light came in through little cracks between the boards that covered the windows the floor felt soft underfoot and as my eyes adjusted I could see that it was covered with a layer of filthy clothes was everywhere Actually we couldn't walk around on the floor because you couldn't see the floor in most places. It was just worst of the need to live with some other couple of rooms you couldn't go into for how much stuff was jammed in there I was careful to remember how we got in case we had to find our way out in a hurry we were all very quiet we'd seen enough horror movies you know that joking around could get us into trouble here's the and we did not spread out. We stuck probably almost be.

Hit the ground running basically So why did you decide to us start stop running a pub I'll know we've run pubs before we've both got between us I was 30 years experience of different pubs and situations area locally for 10 years so you know. 10 years from now we have a local pub for 10 years and so we just actually moved no point 9 miles away from where we were. Almost a snotty phone and and why did you choose this location as our home when I was young and this place this part of Smith was actually quite empty and scarce there wasn't much going on here apart from this pub I don't know if it was called something else when I was younger but has always been one here if I recall Yeah 70 a century building and we do actually know some of the older landlords. Several. Western V.A. One of them is very good friend of ours. But it's a lovely traditional situation for with great great food and the freshest fish you'll ever see straight off the boats and there's no one else in Portsmouth doing that but we are idea I was going to say because you have got quite a few Fishman's by it's just out that a beautiful view of the skin a kid's Howard as well as you walking in I suppose it gets quite busy all year round his view never fades I think concentrate which is quite a nice thing in the summertime you've got the benches outside this always something going on something to see and it gets particularly busy in the summertime because we get a lot of walkers during the millennium walk all the way around and even this time of the year with Christmas on its way it's it's been it's been very good this is a good bunch of locals those few local businesses where we've got bearings we ricing next door we've got Rock who have throughout the year their customers come in and use us as well. I could try. A defense company so they're also in now over time so it's a good hop up here you know Serial Port Smith isn't it because you're right by the Naval docks you've got a great view of the war serenades the ships coming in and out is it does feel very very just. Pompeii I think is probably the best way to describe it very traditional pump. It really is a great pub to be enemy and we've known it for about 15 years so we knew the previous managers. Because we worked for fellows down in the forests in the white bucket. So we knew them professionally we knew the pub or knew of always liked it so we were very happy to get a chance to take it over even at Christmas when it's going to be a bit manic crazy Christmas yes crazy Christmas and speaking of Christmas that's why we're here today actually when we're talking about Christmas lunch which is a huge I was taking for a while mainly it's just a family if you guys can be many families it's actually come back afternoon and we're going to find out what it takes I imagine that's what it is to put on a Christmas lunch that a lot of gravy or I back in a moment it's the largest British film series ever made that will refer to movies entertaining or uses since 1958 the mention of the hour I'm Jim Dale and I'm proud to present a collection of rediscovered archive gems of Egypt featuring my costars who breathed life into some legendary carry on characters you work very hard rock Christly rare real struck a broadcast stopped rescued from the unexplored bosom of danger and under soon attics we found the public only back to see the cost of carrying on up the archives a celebration of a classic British film series Boxing Day evening and 6 B.B.C. Radio silent. Place of the week and wonder what that choice is their final. Choice for this week plus we've got no questions asked now that would be nice wouldn't it just imagine you're rushing around to get a subset for Christmas and then naturally you've got that little smug glow that you managed to get no crest questions asked right just before Christmas it could happen you never know the obvious thing maybe you're thinking of is maybe the answer I have no idea I can't steer your day be direct should all but so on it's been going for a little while but no questions asked by a half past 10 this morning so Robin Montague is out and about today we'll hear from her a little bit later at a couple of different shopping centers chatting to people who are quell I don't know want to scale of one to 10 how stressed do you think they're going to be in a shopping center on Friday morning just before Christmas done I'll find a little bit later but she's in a pub so I thought this morning. Now that is the sound of a massive heart of mold wine on the smile is just delicious you might miss your south yes has a mix it has to make certain. That you find that mold whine and moan cider and soft sort of flies off the shelves I mean it does people I think sometimes it's just the association of Christmas with the smells and cinnamon everything else and it has been really really popular actually so it's nice you know I am feeling very festive this morning some of the bridge have been in old Portsmouth and we're talking Christmas dinner now for most Christmas dinners a stressful time because you've got you know 5 or 7 family members Yeah the on that just doesn't stop moaning the 9 that falls asleep before the main course and it's just it's a huge undertaking but for you guys you got multiple families how many people you're going to serve this year with serving 69 people 69 that's insane how much food you think you can have to get through them to do that plenty Absolutely. And we have to try and keep everyone happy on the table for charm and quality of food as well so it is a matter of a mammoth task but you know we've done it over the years and we've done it very successful. This year I've inherited a menu so it's not quite Mormon year but next year it will be but we're really looking forward to the challenge so there's a new I'm survey in England a Spanish restaurant reservations on Christmas Day have jumped by about 200 I'm 40 percent in the last 5 years you guys have been in the industry for quite a while have you notice this change more people wanting to eat out rather than eating on Christmas Day definitely I think that it takes the stress away from other of people so they can come along sit in a comfortable warm atmosphere with other people around with their families and I think that it's definitely definitely picked up even now we're asked to get being asked the phone ring do you have anything for Christmas Day But you need to be booking in October I think now and I mean you and is it pay. In any odd requests for Christmas dinner things Esau asking and asking to be a bit tricky to get on the menu but you know will do it well not not too much really I mean with a lot of the vegetarians I mean the food is absolutely doubling You know loads of people drawing and trying to get in on vague and stuff but. I really are suppose we've we've plated up Christmas dinners for people to take away where their partner's not been well and you know we've we've we've brought in the local. Down and out from across the road and fed them on Christmas Day in a couple of a pub so you know people are you know a bit down a lot we try and help them out as well request of cheer Ben and for you Is it stressful or do E.G. Kind of sneak off every sound again to have a quick sherry but I know there are well it wouldn't be a sherry it might be a poor but yeah I mean it is very stressful but you know we try and lay it all out and do our preparation and. Go through the motions we've got a couple of really good boys that are going to come and help as was sorry. It's it it's just here for thinking about it. Well just good luck the best of luck to both of you I imagine it's going to be a very very busy day good luck 55 weeks in and you seem to be doing a really good job this place is looking very festive very high you me and Merry Christmas back to you Sasha a Merry Christmas amazing thing 5 weeks taking it on a great challenge more from Robin later when she hits the shopping centers.

The B.B.C. Radio silence travel hotline 0808. 103. He said it's just worth saying that we obviously have travel updates right throughout the day and in her be the cliched phrase of a great Christmas getaway if that sort of thing starts happening obviously we will we'll do more as we need to not travel news with regular updates throughout the day anyway I say have these home plus 10 this do a little bit of this the answer is sort so what is the question what on earth is the question is this This one is just so wide open isn't it so if the answer is salt what is the question was it of the team was thinking of when they came up with this one the answer that you have in the back of your mind. Could well be the rights one but you'll only find out if you give us a call 810-3800 we're not at the stage of giving clues yet I wait so 8103800 what I will say that is we've had the biblical reference we've had the limbs insult failed we've had the little packet in the crisps that one we've had the soldiers in Roman times being paid with and various connotations but what else could it be that a lot more than that as well but they're the ones I remember off the top of my head 103800 is sort so what is the question the phone lines are open now it was Valerie on the Isle of Wight having her I guess yesterday or the latest thanks for that not only on the point she was talking about the Whitehall company selling the salt locally it was a great a great possibility but not the right one the answer is sort so what is the question and those lines are open now it might be quite tricky it might be quite obvious it might be easy Who knows but just think how good you'd feel if it is the one that you are thinking of. 813800. 103 a temperature this is how. We call you back and we plan 10 to. Chestnut. Jack from. You try. And And every mother's son. Is going. To see a reindeer really in the heart. And a big sorority aside and if you're feeling Christmassy or feeling a little stressed and trying to feel Christmassy way we have a 2 minute distress such 1145 this morning so what's the you all doing 1145 Join us for a bit of a professional a professional who works in the field of distressing us. Giving expert advice and also a 2 minute sort of like a mindfulness session we're going to do on at 1145 this morning build your morning around it OK and then let me know whether you feel better afterwards. Made any difference whatsoever of the 12 every day we do all the expert as you would expect we had to bring Christmas Eve ones yesterday we were talking about Christmas cocktails where the amazing alum again wine experts cocktail expert author T.V. And radio expert on all things. Because I alcoholic but actually she does all the non alcoholic ones as well she's an author She's a blogger as she got a question from Derek Now this this is interesting Derek wanted to know in her expert opinion should champagne be served in flutes coops so having a some research into this and tested the flute against the coupe and a normal wine glass actually the best thing to drink champagne from is a normal wine glass because a flute is so narrow although it keeps the bubbles you can't smell you can't stick your nose in to get really good smell and the coop is almost too flat and why so the vapors going to go everywhere a wine glass is the perfect room for the wine to be able to breathe and for you to smell it look at what it does size and I drink I usually drink from a coupe home which is the most impractical glass to drink champagne out of because usually dribble it well maybe it's just me. But is it not is that not a very easy gloss to drink out of but it looks so fabulous and Audrey Hepburn used to drink from one so that's my that's my excuse Breakfast at Tiffany's. Yes so lovely right this one is from someone who says Just please call me Kirstie this will become clear in a moment she says I'm pregnant Oh no one will know Christmas it's very early days but I need something that make me feel festive that I can drink and it won't be too obvious to anyone that I'm not drinking Oh that organ Well congratulations 1st of all that is so exciting No no the Holocaust hell that's going to look like a cocktail Yes and Yes yes she walked away yet what she needs to do very simple is if she makes up and she can keep it in the fridge a tea stair up so to do that she said tea Sarah says like sugar syrup just flavored with tea so you put sugar and water to put sugar to one part water. In a pan at a tea bag and I use oh great T. Back and then you warm it up over and over low heat and stir for about 5 minutes and then just leave it with the tea bag into cool depending on how strong you like you'll tea then take the tea bag out to camp into a bottle so that's your sugar syrup keep that in the fridge then what she wants to do is when the friends around put some ice and put your tonic water in a glass and just add a dash of the tea stair up and just tell everyone it's Vulcan tonic nobody will know play but if you can set the clock has spoken to on it with the syrup and she can still use it so I had never set out to be so distracted asking about the tea set they won't even notice. But hell I'm again the studio yesterday if you want to listen back to Helen's HOF hour of advice and all the different recipes that she was giving as well for Christmas cocktails it's all on B.B.C.

As well hello hello how you well thank you obviously the a ray of both rules of suddenly rising to the studio this is the task let's you you've been doing this for a very long time you all you're just one of those people that will appear to be everywhere radio magazines newspaper columns T.V. As well you on this morning last week I was I did a champagne well spoken wine tasting on the ice rake which I had I was more worried about slipping and spilling my gloss than anything else I go to they have you a nice guy or just know they'd like put a little coppers how for you to get to the Ice Bar right and then it's whipped away again so once you're on your spot. You're there for the Atari to see just like. You come in for all the X. But we give you a seat while you make a stand. It was always such good fun really it's not that you want you can read your columns in The Daily Mail every day you used to be and Waitrose the thing yet is you know what else you take Alan Titchmarsh was another one yeah about 3 year is mental he stopped doing that when she but he used to do 5 shows a week absolutely amazing. And I wasn't completely or of how he had the energy to do that he was quite amazing so now I was still just constantly writing talking. And drinking as you do the latest book or the current book at the moment homemade cocktails which I spent pretty much all of last year and 6 months the A Before that researching because as you know I love my wine and I used to be a wine bar for a supermarket for a decade before I went into writing about it but it really struck me that actually when the whole cocktail revolution happened you know about kind of 10 years ago when we all started to get really more interested in Ginn's really fueled the Cultural Revolution but at the time session I was having babies so I felt like I missed the entire thing and I sort of came out of the fog of small kids and walks into my local pub and even they were making these amazing cocktails they could knock up a brown bowl or a decent grainy and I thought you know I've hardly ever make cocktails myself at home so I remember going and getting my cocktail book out to make one and and just thinking that the Kotel but it just felt quite complicated. Obscure and I didn't have the right thing to make it in the measures was so strong as well you know I'd make them to follow the recipe and so I just thought right I'm going to spend some time researching recipe testing and given that I can't remember where I've left my cup of tea half the time I thought I'm just going to write it all in one place so that's how I ended up writing the I may come tells book. Of Helen in the studio and a ray of bottles I can see votes because there's something sparkling the. Last Christmas that's behind a one hit that's a coconut a coconut run to my goodness there's a little bottle of tonic there is there's a homemade infused something which yes looks amazing which will be a sample that I'm sure in a moment but this is the idea of this is homemade Coke tells this is something that you can whip up yourself with ingredients. You are likely to have around that sound it stuck in the store cupboard absolutely So Helen is here to answer questions so maybe you have a particular spirit that you want to do something different with maybe you want to make a Christmas cult tell maybe you would like to go down the nonalcoholic lines because you actually have a wealth of knowledge in the area residents talk about to come here. Wright said this is the phone number Helen is his she she she knows the stuff OK he's. A 10380000808103800 you can text me H one trouble for a start your text with the words I don't want trouble 3 Start your text with the word silent. Bbc dot co dot U.K. . Things simplest thing and it's for a quick things just to pick up that 508-081-0380 extension 2 give me a call now from Helen in a moment. My Love Unlimited it may be winter outside hella MacGuineas all her questions on coke sale she's in the studio I have to say we just that precise moment discussing making costumes for. Children for the Nativity shows Yeah I've done I've done a last minute stall she made out of an old wine box. Covered up I didn't. Say. That to you just about that one said that if I. Relax and read while I'm doesn't. See your questions on Coke tells us head to sample them on exciting. Site you've got questions about Christmas cocktails you've got someone who's got a policy tomorrow night who wants to serve a little Christmas cocktail not mulled wine in brackets whenever you want to rise I've got people coming up on the wine so maybe I should think about a Christmas coat Yeah well there is a really simple way to kind of razzle dazzle. Christmas doesn't cost a fortune to have before you saw is that what you want to excited know that you do want to share what I that what do you think she would she do that would do that wouldn't do that one so what you do is get yourself a few bottles of sparkling wine there is so much on offer at the moment in the supermarkets This is me a good self is that I mean yeah so for example I know that Tesco that vintage coffee which is normally about 9 pounds I think is down to 7 the normal Carver is down to about 5 you know in cob is made the same way Champagne says it will fermented sparkling wine it doesn't matter if it's really really cheap stuff if you're putting into it definitely not because you're going to flavor it up yeah way so I've got a bottle of Asti I absolutely love fasti as to Christmas is ghastly under-rated going on here with polo Oh yeah oh that was a skilled one of thing and I know me just fluff into the corner into the room should saw I know pulp when he writes me wrong I remember when you open your bottle to sparking this Christmas they should so I know Paul right so what you need to do is poor out everyone that glass of sparkling wine. And then you've still got time to do it when it's a party she says tomorrow night. And I have one smart as well so if you go and buy a punnets of cranberries now yeah prick them and put the men up in a bottle 500 mil bottle you put your crown fresh in that restraint some prick with a bottle put them in the pen once a present just to let the flavors out Yep some of them a can seep out put about 100 prams in a 500 mil bottle not in about 50 grams of sugar and some strips of orange rye give it a really good shake if it's tomorrow keep shaking it like every time you put it on the side and every time you will pass just give it a shake and hopefully what you'll take his little. Kid is it just gives any sparkling wine a Christmassy cake because that was orange smile and the cranberries give it a kind of a little tautness as well so it's so much more festive than just your average glass of Spock and wine. To taste as I did. For you. If I don't know if. This is your chance there is that everyone wants to be your friend you know are you spoken to before monks go. Everyone's not you know your. Being a busy man that is absolutely delicious is good isn't it and then absolutely Once you've been a mean you you've got a good amount that then to just had to dash off that's all you need to add a dash of your flavored gin to each prospecting wine and that's a Christmas concert it's only a tiny little bit just like that but it really lifts it and as I say just gives me it gives it that Christmas Eve flavor you can only bring in there as well yes absolutely one of the boozy bottoms Yeah but also this is gorgeous this Crombie an orange been in a normal G.M.T. As well so again because it gives it some color like I say if it fits tomorrow it won't be quite as Pink this. And I've got here you can see that school really beautiful pink take a picture I mean you hold that up there we go if you follow me on Twitter you will see exactly what it is I want to make it like that again you look really. Nice staring intently you were staring intently at the gym so I said the color is fab as well so it was really all that far off the bill ini design I'm quite fond of those in sort of like you would have told me exactly and so obviously pleading with peach juice what this is actually is it's a cheat's way of doing a classic cocktail which is called a French $75.00 and a French $75.00 is champagne lemon juice sugar and gin but by doing it this way because you've pre-mixed your gin citrus and Szoka all you need to do to make that dash to each girl sparking So you're making a really small French empty thought the people but in party proportions that would make most amazing christmas present the bottle that you've made of the gin with the oh yeah and the Crown Yeah it's funny you should say that so I with a friend of mine we made these out for all Christmas fair a couple of weeks was cool for school fair you gotta be kidding me you know. This is. Not not children or you know a big sign up 74 you. Know I don't know what it is but I know a woman who learned the most is that they sold out and not often I know people can fast but will the teaches teaches us straight. Things you know yeah I'm going to mount it. On just so you're really embarrassing story about the teachers and like when you feel like. Husband's birthday went for a little sort of off to school you have like came out for a little trip overseas with our boy well all the teachers are in the pub. Busted. Right that's number one and it's love. glad i'm light that caustic we like the so as i say you can just bung that intra normal jen and tunick his well which i can see you very prickly here always when you're making engine and tonic but it needs teddy had to make huge in atoning i'm sure you know how to do that but the one thing i would say is make sure you use lots of ice so put in a good hand for the vice not just a few coops let there we go you know though that some soup markets now sell different size on yet you'll take on that because obviously a lot of people listener more go surely are large lump of ice can become the media mom by simply lead and on the sideboard yeah and it will become you dump but they do sell different saw it on you well the points of ice really is the the joy of a cox had is it needs to be really cold it's the is if it is to be refreshing and cocteau's shouldn't loss long like 20 minutes that's all that's all it should be sitting around full before it's gone so i'm says to keep it cold but also big ice cubes it means that it they dilute smore slowly so your drink will stay cold and most importantly it'll stay stronger a longer see i always source it was just a bartender trying to run for it me off let me a more rice in yeah yeah i mean there is going back and asking for more i say looks better with one the i mean i don't know what the john i don't know who i think i am saying this but posterous sentence but it's it's already nearly there but but the drink a coke tyo again i'm stalling because i can't believe what an idiot would say this but it looks better with one voice cube still spinning it it rather than lots right cocked all i can old fashioned yeah oh yeah as any with won yeah i don't know yeah i know it looks quite thing it's a thing to the say very and thing so you get you can get the now in the sea of mud they're like giant ice bulls really and pay so makes you for trays at if you want to do that yourself i'm just thinking about which saw the beach young to you and now so my guess it's you can now get the silicon molds the you can just put those in and put them in the freezer they they sell the men in the big department stores so with their quite Easy to get a hold of now so you can see that the gin that we've just made but that's just a gin and tonic but using that ground be an orange gin again and you can see that it gives it the color which is really pretty but the flavor is just so crisp and it's homemade so you don't need to use an expensive gin to make it in fact I'd say the opposite use the cheapest gin you can find that you want to save and make it take you to want to take up the flavor of whatever Where do you stand on tonic because I've noticed that you have opened a small bottle of tonic Yes it is it is branded it is fever tray you know you say the brand because they are just everywhere would you spend your money on an expensive or more expensive tonic has a big bottle of the supermarket so I've done a lot of blind tonic tasting over the last couple of years because that want to. Taste the wine tasting but that really is a massive difference between the different brands and there are some that fly really under the radar like some of the discounters have got their own label tonics actually really good because they hold that bubble and again you want one that holds it hold its bubble but to me this is that it's worth paying a little bit extra because you get really good flavors at them and some of them do just fall flat very quickly in the glass nobody wants that you say about food in fact the festering we didn't see that included sort of a sparkling sparkling wine if you had to do that for loads of people I imagine it be classified lossing because you don't want it to lose its fizz there in yeah that's the only thing about doing it for a crowd but I'd say that with the sparkling Coxhead it's got such wow factor that you know you can get everything prepared beforehand you can lay out the glasses and put the dash of gin in then just talk just not as a comment or put the bottle on the side in that little but I would say yes if a towel around your arm Yeah you like some more. But a lot of the cocktails in the book there are there and struck. On how to supersize them if you're doing them for a crowd so you can make up jugs of for example Moscow mules which is one of my favorites you know book or not I'm there just really simple ways to supersize the quantities like right if you Lois on Twitter at B.B.C. Radio sort of you're going to see a picture of Helen with her homemade gin and her crown brás and little strips of orange in this most gorgeous bottle that she has here it's just looking lovely. And this is the number you want to have this is the numbers you just talking. Out of that. 13800 things you can't drink a cup how quietly because I wasn't even looking at you but I knew you picked up the Gulf's because he ground that was the. Noise of the ice is just. 103802 speak to hell and we've got coming up just give me one of the we're going to want to I'm going to make you some mini snow balls. And I think the ranch house holds favor and. I don't believe the. Trash out. Very well. I am going. To. Say. Hello. Officially. In the studio. Yes. Yes because we're going to. Get through the afternoon increasing amount. Still some. Sort of fight over the evening and then back to midnight. Then a drawing. To Grace. Tonight the way in southwest 5 to 7 visibility is good. And the. We. Tomorrow let's eat festive food is on the menu when just the chef Alex Parker has expert tips for your Christmas dinner I will hear from the Ramblers Association . Afterwards. You get 6 that. B.B.C. Radio so. B.B.C. Radio. With all of the heads from Gatwick. It is still the same no flights to or from Gatwick Airport because of a couple of trains flying nearby flights out it were possible being diverted to other airports in the U.K. Stephanie with checking before setting off. And. Because of some. Places from Bridge Mary towards Fareham on the A $32.00 and stopped. In an ounce of Winchester especially coming in the A 36. Both ways especially bad inbound around the bowels within those hold ups this reports of a broken down the road down the slope most of the way through as a few hold ups in Branksome and yet they still. Travel hotline. 103. Full of people. A helmet in the telex but it's hello right it's usually with a new array of bottles a reporter months ago and then over there in the Khulna. Dream team in the diner to . Use the honeys of the space. As well if you go on the show after one Alex Juno was. Really here Mark came in just to deliver some Christmas presents to the team. That this is the only drink of no no it's not. Time and the only drink really that he ever has talked about is the snowball Yes this is why because when I was a kid in the in the 1970 S. It wouldn't you say your parents might give you a little bit alcohol wouldn't I'm sure they're sweet sherry Yeah and it was the sweetest most normal alcoholic drink a mind then my mom would love to you Maria a mom would have a snowball and I know it's the campus drink out there but I drink gallons of Christmas and I don't I don't care who knows I love to smoke. Such a festive drink what is. This I've actually done this is a twist on a snowball just a warning so this one what we're bringing together here is. Coconut rum and coke not this one and a bit of either coconut milk or normal milk whatever you want so fast things and also instead of a great big class of one big snowball I'm going to make you to diddle many snowballs. They are so delicious but they all white see the quite strong it's a cocktail but they're quite rich so I've just done them as little mini snowballs that was ice in the cup to take a lot remember as I said it was like a good handful of ice now my measures tend to be fairly accurate given that my eyesight isn't brilliant I'm going to say that's about 20 miles per like to you. Then you know going to think if you showed a lot they've done the main. Thing in the studio going OK. Then we've got the rum that was that was the full measure was and then it was 50 miles. That's a really lovely quote from that one and you know it's gorgeous and then we've got milk which I. No men have got this is just normal Mel yet you will put 20 miles of gas in or you could as a say to coconut milk which is an awfully lot of prefer coconut milk almost like you do you know you don't you want I have you want to have a home as an open take and I thought I was quite risky strategy when you. Said I could say. When we shake cocktails at least 15 seconds please OK if you want to get cold you want to tell the guy to take a starts to Prost up. I mean I could you. Know I like to draw a picture as they say Adams that's in the song that you are and because again as we said it's about the joy of a cocktail is this kind of shell shop's not the drink so it needs to be really cold to be refreshing you can smell like you can I marry him now because you know I'm here so these little mini snowballs in my new glasses which I treated myself to finally this was like shot glasses on stems Diebold you know I bought them for Sherry because I love to cherish everything else that every little sherry gloss but as I found out going to Paulson that way could I just sign something yes. I was going to Arsenal smaller balls were yellow with. The classic snowball Yeah and that because of a state that said that it's basically brandy and eggs. Classics Noble is a very thick. Drink but they says a slightly more can make when the snow has gone off and I'm assuming that yes yeah let me see I think a co-op that I'm going to at the bottom of warming. Cherry and have been a long time some lemon I like that so you might know it will know this isn't this is a modern take on a snowball of many snowball it tastes lovely but it is quite strong is making me sad why I made the mending I know I love old oak And I think it's moving very strong in there and you can dust that if you've got some at home with a bit of desiccate. Coconut also you know. A few drops of the essence into the Shakers well before you make if you want more of that because it's quite the delivery not the vanilla carrot to stick that in as well but yet that's the many snowball and going back to your giant ice cubes you talk about the big ball ice keeps If you were going to make a single one of those that's when you stick one of those ice cubes in the coop and then pour the drink over the top of that and that looks amazing nice quick question for Helen from Derek who says just mention coops says flute so coops Well he's thinking. He's got he's going for champagne fiesta so he has a while so what do you think so having a some research into this and tested the flute against the coop and a normal wine glass actually the best thing to drink champagne from is a normal wine glass why because a flute is so narrow although it keeps the bubbles you can't smell it you can't stick your nose in to get really good smell and the coop is almost too flat and why so the vapors going to go everywhere a wine glass is the perfect room for the wine to be able to breathe and for you to smell it look at what in his eyes and I drink I usually drink from a coupe home which is the most impractical glass to drink champagne out of because usually dribble it well maybe it's just me but. Is it not is that not a very easy gloss to drink out of but it looks so fabulous and Audrey Hepburn used to drink from one so that's my that's my excuse Breakfast at Tiffany's. Yes so lovely right this one is from someone who says Just please call me KIRSTY This will become clear in a moment she says I'm pregnant Oh no one will know Christmas it's very early days but I need something that make me feel festive that I can drink and it won't be too obvious to anyone that I'm not drinking Oh that's all going well congratulations 1st of all that so excited saying no no the Holocaust hell that's going to look like a cocktail Yes and the. Yes yes she walked away yeah what she needs to do very simple is if she makes up and she can keep it in the fridge a tea stair up so to do that she said tea Sarah says like sugar syrup it just flavored with tea so you put sugar and water to put sugar to one part water in a pan at a tea bag and I use oh great back and then you warm it up over and over low heat and stir for about 5 minutes and then just leave it with the tea bag into cool depending on how strong you like you'll tea. Then take the tea bag out to camp into a bottle so that's your sugar syrup keep that in the fridge then what she wants to do is when the friends around put some ice and put tonic water in a glass and just add the dash of the tea syrup and just tell everyone it's Vulcan tonic nobody will know play but as you can see it's a cult has spoken to on it with the syrup and she can still use it so I have never set out to be so distracted asking about the tea set they won't even notice I don't either I know that sounds very good yeah and it tastes great as well it just makes it more interesting than just a glass of tonic water I think that's noble seems have gone down for it but. I'm not. Used to that and one that was meant to be. Very more a shot of trouble there's a strong but then you aren't more they are very more it yeah exactly just another. As if by magic I don't plant very much to start a Blue Peter with alcohol I've tried to work out what you've got another one you want to demonstrate what do you want another one of the question oh what if you go of your question yeah we don't question you're going to restaurants Well OK this person I'm going one on this one which is a real shame give me a new Coke self a gin please says this person I've got some lovely floral gin from Q Goldens 0 Hour all very nice and I want something to use with it people are so into the. They are they are so into their chins I would say the going back to the French $75.00 is one of my favorites which is the champagne and Jen they do that does just work really really well one of my favorites for gin is in the Grozny but that's quite quick that's quite Christmas Eve as well and a great week this is beautiful red color what is it said that is gin camp Ari and red. And parts of each and you can just be just put that straight into a tumbler with lots of ice and a big fat slice of orange so that's what you could learn yeah you'd ask questions and. More show being honest being polite. To me can't tell us how the kind of golden era in probably the late fifty's through the 60 M. To the seventy's then went a little bit out of fashion yet all the dark now and I'll be back in a big why or is it just comic called to think that they're back you know for that kind of Marks and Spencer John Lewis style Christmas they are back in a really big way partly fueled by. The nation's love of gin came back into style suddenly cocktails were trendy again want to come back what did because I think it's a it's a drink with heritage and it did have that kind of crusty fusty go for club image for years you know in a flat gin and tonic but when when interest started to come back into it and people began to to understand gins What all did they were not all created equal they're very different and the reason there are so many of them is because Gene is basically just flavored vodka but it's the flavorings that you use in the gin that make them all so different and once produces started experimenting with different botanicals and you could match that up to wherever you lived in the country as well so you've got the nose in Winchester which uses watercress. As a ton of coal you've got you know some amazing Scottish genes now that use things that they forage out on the Outer Hebrides I mean. Possibly the combination endless So it's just it's now like feeding a beast there's just you know when to have what you can do so creative and exciting you get these homemade gin kits now growing at an all around line and yeah great Christmas Yeah yeah the great Christmas presents we come from I can't say here. We did not get a handle on. Exactly the difference and I think as well there was a food and it came out only about a couple of weeks ago by one of the big retailers and in the research they did one in 5 of us now have a cocktail shaker at home and that was the case for 5 Well I'll tell you how I who you know has more of an aura around right just because it looks cool well get a copy of this and it won't be an ornament anything. You need. Good exercise as well. If you're worried every Christmas you're not doing enough exercise. Watching T.V. . You know we've got one more minute just a bit of Christmassy advice I mean you've given us so many recipes for Christmas cocktails but is there anything you want to leave us way I would say with cocktails just keep it simple actually because otherwise it gets expensive you don't need whole gamut of ingredients for it in your store cupboard see what you've got in there perk things up like you know an average gym with all your different flavorings is a bit like cooking think of it like that so the recipes are there for you to create you've just got to play around with them a bit Helen thank you thanks Helen again. Yeah I'll call the legs but coming I was in love 1st of all I was so. It's a very busy writing. Because. That. Was a listen. I'm sick of curb 6. The feet is so broken. Hearted slowly in. Some. Things just sometimes I'm down on Mondays Sometimes I. Give it is so I won't make up. That is just plain is the brownies thing let's say huge thanks to helm again our wine expert. Coming into the studio home a Coke tells is how book and this if you missed any of it we just want to listen back to it 0 point a friend or relative in the direction of all cooks expert you can listen to it all again on B.B.C.

American Political Science Association in Boston that suggests American gun politically active than people who don't. Reports researchers argue the findings could explain at least in part why gun regulations rarely change researchers used results from 2 national surveys done between 19722012 that collected among other information. Ship education and other factors including voting history the analysis showed that over the decades gun owners have been more likely to vote in presidential elections. And the influence of gun ownership on voting. Age The researchers also found that are more likely to contact public officials about gun policy and more likely to sign a petition to guns. N.p.r.

School gardens community vegetable patches fish farms in tanks the urban farming movement takes all kinds of forms and there are so many great things that happen when people grow food in cities their educational opportunities use less energy and transport the plants help clean the air and it just plain feels good for people to be closer to their food but scientist Caleb Harper believes that indoor urban farming can do something more you can actually create the best tasting most nutritious least energy intensive crops anywhere Now I admit this can sound ridiculous great farms are all about the character they have their particular blend of sun and air and soil and a warehouse full of lettuce beds has no character the Caleb is a researcher at mit and the leader of a group of nerd farmers they work on something they call the food computer which can closely detect and allow you to adjust the growing conditions of any plant in the room and he thinks this is the future of urban farming and maybe just the Future of Food thanks so much for joining us today Kayla my pleasure so there are so many things that make a great farm great right you start with the farmers of course but also the kind of sunlight it gets the composition of the soil all kinds of stuff but you're trying to bring all those characteristics to growing plants indoors exactly if someone says the best tomato in the world comes from Tuscany on the north side of the slope with a happy count next door you know we try to factor in all of the what we would call biopic or abiotic stress. Most people would call climate that caused those specific genetics to create the flavor that they like and so we try to figure that out and then in the process use the least amount of resources less water less energy less nutrition loss from transportation so that we can make a good product that's healthy and available in our cities I see that means you also a pipe an audiophile a happy cow mooing. I mean a lot of my freshman that come into my lab at mit the 1st thing they want to do is put the plants through. Mozart and then put the plants through like to park and see you know who wins between Mozart and Tupac Tupac because it's all about micro vibrations which in the natural world you'd call wind so you actually need went inside of these environments because the plant then gets stressed by the wind so that it can start to grow taller so that it morphologically correct or you just say it's formed correctly and so those micro vibrations of of Tupac really help it out that's incredible So Ok so once you have all these factors and they imagine the more you do it the more you learn what these factors are that's a bleeding edge of science like we've never before had the ability to gather so much data so cheaply and we've also never before had the ability to process so much data so cheaply now with advancements in robotics advancements and sensors technology and data processing we can really start to get some some kind of basic science that maybe we haven't been able to do before yeah this is probably going to drive you crazy because this could be like a dumb thing to say no but it's almost like you're creating a virtual reality for a plant that is not actually true it's not done at all because you know one of the things that limits agriculture and agricultural science are seasons and so we go season to season we try to make changes we do we select for genetics that did well in. Season but we have a lot of kind of a synchronistic or non categorized variables during that season so imagine that you could run the season $10000.00 times and if you could run the season $10000.00 times you could try all different kinds of things that you would have done and see which one word out the best without having to wait 10000 years and so it's really that idea of how could we make agriculture and plant science more like computing. So how are you at the point where this happens every other block in every city how how will this scale up so right now I think it's bubbling in a kind of occupant areal realm so there's a lot of start ups and I mean Japan China Europe United States hundreds of millions of dollars going into this but what I think needs to happen and what my group is trying to be a part of is the sharing of this knowledge so that it can scale up and so there are so many unanswered questions we need trillions of data points we need 100000 images to do any machine learning and so we've taken all of our plans all of our software all of our hardware and made it open source and what that means is you can access it for free you can use it for whatever you want and you contribute as part of the project kind of like a citizen science for let's call it horticulture botany in that process there are now after the last year and a half people in 40 countries around the world contributing to our project contributing either code or they're growing in the box whatever they want to grow whatever excites them they grow we're able to collect data on that and it starts to kind of build up this data set that we can use you know and it's really the way of the future when you look at Tesla open sourcing their patents so that more infrastructure can be built part of that network economy Apple open sourcing their app developer language this is because of our networked world and there's never been a time in human history where you can get more people working on a single problem if you share that infrastructure and I don't think anything is more important and how are we going to feed all the people in the world with the least amount of resources and the most amount of amazing flavors and good nutrition Well this incredible And good luck to you and I think that means good luck to all of us have saluted I mean there's a nerd farmer inside of all of us. I think of it this way a lot of us think oh we don't have agree. Well what if a green thumb was a digital asset what if I could download a farmer's eye that took 60 years to cultivate that beautiful eye that can tell you what's wrong with a plant whereas you might come into this saying oh my house plants are always dying I don't know what to do with them well what if we could make that program if you literally downloaded tomato and that tomato meant that you put a seed in an environment that was created by a master gardener or by a master horticulturalist or by a chef that knew what to do to this plant in the northern part of Spain to get the most beautiful expression of flavor but we captured that as a recipe so you downloaded it you grew it and all of a sudden you're in the Basque region in your apartment right that's incredible what other technologies do you see right now in terms of farming in agriculture that you know people don't know about. Well I think in a bigger context you would just say that what I'm seeing is a general shift as this kind of coming together of biologic and digital technologies for example rapid sequencing the ability to get to the genetics of whatever we're interested in very quickly and then now the ability to edit those genetics there's something called crisper and crisper is a system where it just makes it very easy and very cheap to edit something within a genome and I know you know this might be something that people are concerned about when you think about the fact that everything we've eaten in our entire life has been genetically modified because it's been trait selected for hundreds of years down to become the corn that we eat today breeding sweeter and sweeter corn or something I think exactly or bigger or whatever it is we were looking for what crisper is the ability to do what used to take 100 years or 10 years in the lab in a day and so that can radically change what we're able to do with agriculture in the short term I think there's also some amazing things going on in the micro biome I don't know if you're following the conversation about human microbiome but in the plant world we're saying root microbiome So what should be in the soil maybe there isn't there from the methods of farming that we've been using that hasn't cultivated that micro biome or maybe it was never there and in the 1st place or for whatever reason what microbes what bacteria would we want to put back into the soil that would cause a much better plant to come out and even more radical than that people are starting to engineer microbes so if you know the process that you're trying to help you can literally engineer a helper microbe to go into the soil to cause you know a more efficient better however you qualify a plant so I think these technologies and then obviously things like microsatellites and drones getting a lot more data on our fields so there's a start up. Recently that has created more data about in-field farming in the last 5 years than the u.s.d.a. Has in its entirety existence and so I think that's part of that cheaper sensors cheaper processing power so we're getting a very described field we're now getting the ability to modify very quickly within genome. Trait select using crisper and then we're looking at how would we intentionally design the soil with microbes I thought this is fascinating thank you so much for coming and Caleb Oh it's my pleasure thank you. Kayla Parker is the director of the open agriculture Initiative at the mit Media Lab. You know thinking about what Caleb just said about not having to wait for the season so get great crops it made me wonder if we wouldn't lose something by losing seasonality I mean if we could have perfect produce all the time would we miss that glorious moment when you can finally slice into that tomato you've been waiting for and so this year around me the tomatoes were late coming in but when they finally got good my wife and I were just thrilled. And that night I came home from the market like what the finally the 1st good summer tomatoes we got and we made our favorite summer tomato pasta and it's barely even a recipe you know when the tomatoes are great you just grab as many as you want to eat for us the 2 of us it was about a pound and a half you dice them Season them in a bowl with salt a little bit of vinegar and plenty of good olive oil you mix it up and you let the juices run out and then you layer on a little something green maybe some herbs or maybe a little handful of Ruger leaves and then a couple thin slices of onion you boil some spaghetti and right when it's strained right when it's still piping hot you plop all that right on the bowl and wait 2 minutes to take the raw edge off the onions and meanwhile you can shave on some cheese or just sort of sit there and twiddle your thumbs but if you need to do and stirred up slurp away and the olive oil in the tomato juice make this broad thin when you're done with the pasta you have this spot you if soup and it's like 2 dishes in one and I can't get enough of it and actually now that I think about it maybe I wouldn't mind eating that all year round.

You . Know there probably aren't a whole lot of style trends restaurant line cokes are responsible for but they did make kitchen and grill tongs every home cooks must have accessory Well this week's check in with America's Test Kitchen is all about talking to Hong Kong Tong. This is a t. Case Lisa McManus talking with our producer Sally Swift. You Lisa great to have you back it's great to be here so I have a story for you I was thinking about you guys in my kitchen the other day because I have the seriously bad pair of grill talks that are worthless for everything I've never worked but my husband has put a amplifier in my kitchen at the very top of the cupboard that I can't reach the volume except I can with those rubber tip tongs so now they have a really dedicated use and I'm not one for keeping a piece of equipment that would only work in one place but I think they found their home but it occurs to me Tang's are really badly designed Yes so many tongs are horrible they're just either so big and clunky the look of they're made for Paul Bunyan Elgar they're so lightly built that they're not really working for serious cooks they're all flimsy and they have pathetic pinchers and you can't really grab anything they don't line up and they just sort of flop. And there just may grilling harder than it has to be so Lisa what do you think makes a great pair of tongs Well it really should feel like a natural extension of your hands and it shouldn't make you work harder It should be about our ideal one was about 16 inches weighed about 8 or 9 ounces sewed not too light and flimsy not too heavy to hold up and pick up other heavy things pinchers that really meet nicely in the middle and don't get out of line meant scallop head which the scallop edges really grab things without ripping or tearing or snagging a locking mechanism that you can easily open and close with one hand especially the opening part the missing part you don't really care you can use 2 hands but the opening that you're walking toward the grill with your platter of food in one hand and your tongs in the other it's nice to just be able to pop it on your hip and open it up. And yeah a gunslinger Right exactly so how did you test these we went through all kinds of things we tested we made light foods and heavy foods round awkward foods. So we did grilled asparagus spears we did corn on the cob we did full racks of Memphis ribs a whole 10 piece barbecued chicken dish where you have a lot of pieces that have to be moved quickly and they're all different shapes and sizes and you don't want to scrape off a barbecue sauce or rip the skin. We picked up single toothpicks and glass one lb jars of salsa and those really gave us a sense of how controlled they were and how precise they could be and all of these things really matter because you don't want to have to think about your tongs when you're cooking you want to be thinking about the food and the fun and what you're going to get to eat we have low expectations of tongs I have to say Oh Richard have higher ones these are really important so Lisa what was your winner Well I have them right here. There are parts. There called the Oxo good grip 16 inch locking tongs and they're they're really the ideal tongs they are just 8 ounces they're not too heavy or too light they're 16 inches long gives you enough space from the grill but not so much it's hard to pick things up the really agile they're very comfortable they have a nice springy tension that feels just right they have the scalp pinchers that can really pick up a single tooth pick or pick up a big heavy glass jar no problem they unlock and lock in the snapped just push the little tab on the end and they clean up in the dishwasher which is ideal and it is ideal they're $15.00 and if I had to just take one tool out to the grill it be these tongs you're doing a public service here Lisa thank you so much thank you. Lisa McManus leads all of the equipment testing and ingredient testing for America's Test Kitchen You can find details on those grilling tongue tests on our website Splendid Table dot org. California is one of the great wine producing places in the world it's a juggernaut really when you measure by quantity or quality. But there are still underdogs that year 4 in California a wife. Like the people who grow Roan varieties like. These Reds are earthy fruity a little spicy and they're great with fall foods like roasts and stews. Now these greats were brought to California by immigrants over 100 years ago and they flourished until prohibition affected everything but these were riderless have made a comeback contributor Russ Parsons talked with wine writer Patrick committee to find out about the state of California rounds today. Patrick a miscue welcome The Splendid Table thanks for us. American wonders tend to focus on a few varietals Cabernet Sauvignon short you know nor. The Rhone offers dozens of varieties What can someone new to these kinds of winds expect Well interesting there's a great range because the Rhone Valley is a long north south valley and so you get Continental flavors and you get Mediterranean flavors so you get powerful red wines like Surat and you get light bodied white wines like peak pool and greenish Blanc in the middle you have some of the most powerful heavy winds from warm regions like shot enough to pop and Dos these are Granada based winds and they are heavy voluptuous and extremely powerful red ones and how do those translate when they're planted and in the United States I mean do they do they come across exactly the same or does the climate and the geography dictate some changes it dictates a lot of changes but in general California is a warmer climate than most regions in the run Valley and so you end up having a little bit lusher more approachable red wines a little bit more powerful richer white wines. And so where is that American Roan center geographically and what are some of the key wineries that people should be looking for now who do you like well historically they ended up centering themselves on the central coast of California Paso Robles is a very strong has has a very strong focus on run for ids but also areas of the Santa Santa Barbara County as well in particular the wines of Ballard canyon and in the Santa Maria Valley as well be in the seat of inured being one of the oldest plantings and one of the coolest earliest cool cool climate plantings of the central coast that's where you'll find 2 very very good go to wineries that that are that are found in this category The 1st is Coop a winery they are based in the center Maria valley but they make wines from all around the central coast they have a basic bottling of Central Coast Surat that will knock your socks off for less than $20.00 it's a terrific bottle of wine and he makes all kinds of really thrilling single vineyard wines as well. Of Rue San of Mar San he's one of the earliest producers of Mar cent in the country go a little bit further north and you end up a tablet's Creek vineyards this is an historic winery this is a joint partnership between an American family the Haas family and the Paramus family of shot enough to pop this amounts to the 1st French investment in Roan varietals wine making on California soil and for that reason it's very important but they're also remarkably stylish wines of a certain French reserve I would say the Rhone guys they seem a little bit different Give us some idea of some of the characters that are involved. Well the real thing that set the Rhone movement apart and the reason we can call it a movement at all is because of the personalities that were involved. Had some of the most colorful characters colorful winemaking characters that that we've ever had and in the history of California winemaking the person you have to lead with when you're talking about characters as Randall Graham of Bonny Doon winery in Santa Cruz Randall is a remarkable verbal e gifted antic a little crazy completely peripatetic wine maker who settled on Roan varieties in the early eighty's because he had felt like he was failing as a peon in a war winemaker he ended up making one of the 1st run blends in California it was called cigar violent and he put on his label a clever and a little bit mysterious pun in that involved a flying saucer and the rest is history I venture to say that there was almost no humor any California wine labels ever before. And what's the story behind the cigar a lot why did he choose that name so. He read a book by John Livingston Lare month on the Rhone Valley Livingston Lerman found a small decree that was issued in the fifty's by some bureaucrat in France which for bid any flying saucers to land in the vineyards of shutter enough to pop it's a good thing too because it never happened. However. Randall seized upon this as one of the stranger anecdotes that originated from this particular part of the world and decided to call his wine cigar violent which is French for flying saucer or flying cigar. Patrick it's a fascinating book about wonderful wines thank you so much for being on Splendid Table with us thanks very much for us thanks for having me. Had to commit as the author of American row how maverick wine makers changed the way America drinks Russ Parsons is the author of How to think of here you can find some of Patrick's thrown picks on our website Splendid Table. Of all of the elemental foods eggs or something I think we can talk about for after we eat them for any meal of the day we eat them sweet we get them savory for a lot of people the 1st thing you learn to cook and even for world class chefs mastering something as simple as a plain omelet can be a total of session. And that brings me to Rachel Kong she's written a book aptly titled all about eggs it's a serious plunge into their incredible edible mess it's got egg recipes across different cultures eg recipes that exist in only one place eggs from different birds it's no they're Ian obsession and our contributor The New York Times columnist Alyssa Clark sat down with Rachel to talk about. Rachel welcome thank you so much for having me Melissa so in the introduction you write that this is a book about eggs but that it's also a book about humankind and our connection to one another what do you mean by that. So that's just one of a few very hyperbolic claims Thank you. But yeah I mean this book is all about eggs but it's also all about the ways that humans are eating and preparing eggs we eat eggs all around the world pretty much anywhere there are birds people eat eggs which is essentially everywhere so xor this common vocabulary that we have you know if you're in a foreign country and you don't know the language the odds are high that people there are you getting eggs and you can order an egg there so it's really about showing us how similar we are despite so many cultural differences I love that so many techniques are used cross culturally you write about checks Uka yeah she is a dish and North Africa and the Middle East and it's eggs poached in tomato sauce it's just so delicious with you know like a hunk of crusty bread but of course because it's so delicious a lots of other cultures do that kind of thing as well eggs in purgatory and Italy which is also eggs in a spicy tomato sauce there's a dish in Mexico that is the same sort of deal but with native green peppers there so other dishes or things like. Eggs hard boiled and steeped in tea in Taiwan and China they will crack the eggs so that there's a beautiful marbling that happens all around the egg and it's just a street snack essentially you can even find it at the 7 eleventh's there in Taiwan and that's similar to a type of egg they make in Iran which is something they. Make overnight so that they don't have to cook during the Sabbath and they steep the eggs there in onion skins which also cause the eggs to be brown on the outside and have this beautiful patterning on the inside now we always think of chicken eggs maybe some of us can get Duckett but there are lots of different types of birds whose eggs we eat can you talk about some of the other eggs well eggs are actually used in a lot of Chinese medicine you know they're they're pretty cute we have a recipe for deep fried quail eggs called quite quick sure street food in the Philippines and duck eggs are very rich they have a dark orange yolk and they're great for things like cakes that need a rich Yochi yolk but I was really excited to learn about some cool bird eggs that I had never heard about before one of them as from a bird called the tinamou and the tinamou is essentially a South American bird that is very plain looking and brown but it lays these beautiful eggs that look like they've been dipped in paint they're really iridescent sometimes they're purple or turquoise they just look like fake plastic eggs but they are these beautiful duck egg size Ag that some farmers down and she lay are trying to popularize they have a little bit more iron than the regular chicken egg and so there whites are a little bit pink and no one's really sure why the eggs are so beautiful but one theory is that they attract male incubators to the nests to come sit on these shiny beautiful eggs so that was a really exciting egg to learn about another egg that I found people eat near the Arctic Circle like in Iceland is the egg of a bird called the Guillermo. And they are these sea birds and their eggs are these conical speckled turquoise eggs that are really seasonal You can only get them really in the springtime and Iceland and people will repel down cliffs to harvest them from the edge of these cliffs Wow And yeah they're they're really amazing looking you should just Google and. They're just a bright turquoise they have these beautiful speckled patterns on them and the patterns are actually useful as well so the gammas lay their eggs in these large communal nests on the edge of the cliff and all of the birds lay their eggs in the same place but these speckled patterns help the birds find the eggs that belong to them oh wow so it's like a little marker so you know which one is your little baby cat it's like being at a party and writing your name on it you know Rachel thank you so much for talking with me thank you so much for having me. Rachel Kong is the author of all about this Melissa Clark's latest book is dinner changing the game. And if you go to Splendid Table dot org You can find Rachel's recipe for a classic heart stopper of a bar snack called Scotch eggs and these are boiled eggs wrapped in sausage breaded and then fried or if you're in a more wholesome mood you can also go to our website to check out this week's video it's with Liam Brown the mind behind the cookbook she gives away called good eat well $4.00 a day. Coming up I get to talk to you. And the best places in Miami to get topless smoothies and a full tank of gas I'm Frances lamb and this is The Splendid Table from a.p.m. American Public Media. On this week's On the media the perils of covering the altar right all wrong what's at stake isn't like a political idea what's at stake is that riches Spencer wants people to be shipped out of the United States and make it an all white nation the only way that's going to happen is if you forcibly remove people and if you kill a lot of people on this week's Omnimedia from w. N.y.c. . Later today at 3 a 91 point one w. D.d.e. From Delaware Public Media.

From Delaware public media you're listening to The Splendid Table from a.p.m. American Public Media I'm Francis Lamb The Splendid Table supported by Progressive Insurance offering snapshot a device that adjusts insurance rates based on safe driving habits now that's progressive learn more progressive dot com or 1800 progressive. Or right it's time for us to find us on Facebook or Twitter or pick up the phone 180537525 we want to know what you're thinking about. All right so we have Kate calling from Portland Oregon Hey Kate what are your talk about. So we have a couple friends and we're kind of in a cooking book group so we read books and talk about stuff and then we've done this sort of group cooking thing where we're trying to make we've got a maybe 6 women have a pretty big ice kitchen and we've made things like applesauce I think we turned to a pound of apples and apples sauce and I guess 1000 tamales or trying to make food that kind of matters to have numbers and then enough that's easy to freeze and and store because we're most of us are teachers or hadn't have a lot of time or money so it's nice to have that they can just without a freezer and eat. But we've kind of run out of ideas of things to cook so we try lasagna which annoyed that while because it was hard to store it you know tried cookies which were fun but not you know sort of long term you know some of what you want you 1st thing in the morning so the burritos have been great the tamales are great applause was awesome so we wanted I had other ideas for stuff that matters to have a big group to cook for and you can freeze and use later. Oh man well you know I think tamales is an apple so there was some perfect if you have a lot of people a lot of hands and you don't want some people twiddling their thumbs waiting for you know this to happen where they can get in so you don't want projects that really require a lot of assembly right and that's you know maybe find a meditative to do by yourself but by time you got your 85th mile you're probably sick of it so a 1000 really big so I don't know the going down that path I'm thinking of my youth. I was raised in a Chinese family and maybe you could do like a one ton or dumpling wrapping party Well that's a great idea because they freeze really well and you can go out and buy just stacks you live in Portland so I know there are Asian markets nearby for sure yeah you know once an axis. Oh perfect yeah you can just buy stacks of one ton skins make the pots of filling I mean I love a classic ground poor a little bit of trop shrimp mince Ginger Mint scallions a little oyster sauce and maybe a little bit of corn starch to keep it smooth you can find like a 1000 recipes online or in cookbooks but you can make a big pot of that you can make other kinds of fillings and. When it comes time to fill them I'm not a great dumpling maker in fact I once went to dim sum school and it was a 4 day program half way through the 2nd day the instructor asked me why are you here. Maybe you shouldn't try to do some maybe will do something else. So I'm not actually a talented folder inflator so I'll give you Mike my dad's way a full in 1000 my dad literally never cooked was a kid and only once and I mean really wants that I see him like handle food and he was sitting at table and he was helping to fill one tons and I weirdly I learned from him I don't learn from watching what they were doing but I just never had a really special moment I sat down my dad and Pop was putting feeling in $1000.00 skins and so you take the want to get Typically it's a square about 3 inches about 3 inches on each side. You hold it sort of when it's like a diamond shape in your hand you take not a whole lot maybe a tablespoon maybe less 2 teaspoons fulfilling drop in the middle have a little bowl of water defender in the water and then trace the 2 edges of the ones on skin and then you kind of fold it fold it over so now it goes from a dime into a triangle Yeah right and kind of push out the air from around the filling seal it just pinch it shut on the 2 edges and then bring that to the 2 edges that are sort of flush with the filling if that makes sense so for them over like you're like you're like you're closing a bathrobe basically what you're doing and then testing your again to get those 2 ends wet and pinched them together and that's kind of it not beautiful it's not doesn't look like a wants on the cereal you make in a beautiful restaurant but hold it together and the nice thing about that is that it makes a nice flat shape for you that you can then lay on a sheet tray maybe with some parchment you know and lay them out individually pop in the freezer. And you can freeze and you can freeze no hundreds and hundreds of time if you have the freezer space and then when you take them out in the fry some frozen you can stuff them into you can actually in pretty flatten a Ziploc bag in a big gallons a black bag and start stacking them up that's also you have to cook them before you freeze them or anything I just know no yeah freezer. And then I often just pull them right out and drop them in the boiling water from the frozen state because they're so small Yeah pretty fast just a few minutes that you watch them float when they float they're starting to get there and then maybe cook them with a few minutes more you can take one out cut in half if you're not sure if it's cooked or not you know if you've probably done a bunch of them in the pot and pretty much month one is done they're all them and you strain him out and you can serve them in soup if you can serve you know with a nice light broth or you can do him just by themselves with a little bit of maybe like a sore sauce with a few fresh Chiles cut into it maybe a little dash of vinegar as a sort of dipping sauce that's awesome this is covered I'm so excited we will settle our October meeting for I want 130 thank you so much great talking to you by . All right we have Todd from Washington d.c. How are you I Francis thanks for taking my question it's a pleasure What is the question Ok so I've been some variation of beginner vegetarian since I was a teenager I cook a lot and I have an adventure and how it. So I thin sort of exploring Indian cooking and I recently decided to reduce my wheat intake so I was curious about Indian. Flowers that are made with things other than wheat. So I got I got a flower and an international market that I thought was I thought I think I thought it was. Like lentils flour it's called college in China but it's on. And it also and underneath it says The ground wire which translates gram flour which doesn't really mean anything to me so I'm just trying to feel like I'm I know there are a lot of different flower Indian flowers that are made with things that are not wheat and I just I'm trying to do what I can do with them and you know I'm assuming they all have different names and like. One flower will have several different names maybe I don't know confusing Sure sure sure there are versions of it so China . In most South Asian languages means to. Me So what you have is a chickpea flour and color John that is what they call the black chick pea which is a darker you can sometimes see them and they're a little unusual to find in stores unless you're in a South Asian market but they're really like small dark chickpeas and you know it's very protein rich it's I don't I'm not an expert in baking with none we've flowers so I don't I don't know about that but what I understand with chickpea flour is often it's used for batter and batter type things. So like pakoras if you know and like a quarter of those I'm like those really nice earthy tasting vegetable fritters you often find in Indian restaurants are often made with chickpea flour I think. And for me you know I have a bag of chicken flour in my pantry and I actually have it because I was I learned to make a Burmese dish for a Burmese cook a little while ago and she should be this really cool technique where she called it tohu which I assume is you know related to tofu and it's. It is we made it almost like you would make a partridge or a polenta and then we turned it out to onto a plate or she tray spread it out let it cool and it got really nice and firm so it became a slice of all and so we used it in this case the particular dish we did made was a Prometheus called tohu talk which is you take those pieces of. Tofu I guess you could call it and then we dressed them in a really amazing dressing of tamarind didn't fish sauce and garlic and then sprinkle the top with fried garlic and fried shallots It was crazy delicious it's crazy crazy delicious Yeah but the method was. We stirred together a batter of like one cup of flour to 2 cups water a little assaults in this case we use turmeric and then just kind of cooked it in a pot stirring the whole time until it got really really thick like a really thick cake batter and then when you spread it out and let it cool it'll it'll firm up for you you know so with that in mind you can do that and you can dress it like in this case with the with the salad use a lot of nice acids in it you something savory a lot of herbs or you could probably treat it like you would. You know like you would like a firm polenta you could cut into cakes and Syrah it. And then actually if you're moving to a totally different part of the world if you go into like the Mediterranean southern Europe there are all these beautiful chippy pancakes and chippy fritters Yeah like Penelope in Sicily Orpen nice and in southern France and so far not where you can make these beautiful you hang cakes and like basically you're frying with a ton of olive oil so they're really delicious. Yeah actually I have you checked the flour before I didn't realize that this was just the flour also great yeah no honestly I haven't ever really cooked with the black chick before our. I don't know if behaves super differently I would guess it's pretty similar there might be a difference in you know the ratio water you might use in the recipe or something like that.

You know those places used to be in smaller towns where the gas station was the best place to catch people passing by but the new wave of gas station cuisine is all about city economics rents keep going up electric cars are on the horizon and station owners are trying to find a way to get people to come through the door so why not with pompous superfood smoothies and Venezuelan burgers. Maria buckle up and take to spin around the booming gas station restaurant scene in Miami. But.

I am and remember the few of them this year and you keeps an impressive stock of craft beer and 16 are on tap ready to fill growlers in qualifiers bottles and can sealed on the spot he makes sure he highlights the local breweries. Next to the beer taps Andrews brother Michael Mendez has the hits for the health conscious including organic wraps salads and icy Brazilian Sables loaded with fruit honey and coconut and a range of fresh organic fruit juice blends I will say as a gas station owner and if anybody else is a gas station owner listening to this if they're not trying to create a food service component or trying to create a niche in market or going to die today's gas station in the future is food service and being unique because there's were a dime a dozen you know the margins on gas are minimal you want people to come inside you want people to spend money inside you know it's it's hot of Miami.
