• The history of food is as old as human civilization itself, with various cultures developing unique cuisines and culinary traditions over millennia. Here's a brief overview of some key moments and developments in food history:

    Hunter-Gatherer Era: For thousands of years, early humans survived by hunting animals and gathering edible plants. This period laid the foundation for basic cooking techniques such as roasting and boiling.

    Agricultural Revolution (10,000 BCE): The transition from hunter-gatherer societies to settled agricultural communities marked a significant turning point in food history. The cultivation of crops such as wheat, rice, and barley led to the development of farming villages and the domestication of animals for food.

    Ancient Civilizations: Civilizations such as Mesopotamia, Egypt, China, and the Indus Valley contributed to the advancement of agriculture, irrigation systems, and culinary practices. They developed cooking methods, fermentation techniques, and food preservation methods like drying and salting.

    Classical Era (Greece and Rome): Greek and Roman civilizations greatly influenced Western culinary traditions. They introduced olive oil, wine, and various herbs and spices to cooking. The Greeks also established the concept of symposia, social gatherings where food, wine, and conversation were central.

    Medieval Europe: The Middle Ages saw the rise of feudalism and the dominance of the Catholic Church in Europe. Monasteries played a crucial role in preserving and developing culinary techniques. The use of spices, herbs, and exotic ingredients became more widespread among the nobility.

    Age of Exploration (15th–17th centuries): European exploration of the Americas, Asia, and Africa brought about the Columbian Exchange, which facilitated the global exchange of foods, plants, and animals. Potatoes, tomatoes, corn, and chili peppers were introduced to Europe, while coffee, tea, and spices became more accessible.

    Industrial Revolution (18th–19th centuries): Technological advancements revolutionized food production, transportation, and preservation. Canned foods, refrigeration, and pasteurization transformed the way people consumed and accessed food. Mass production and urbanization also led to the rise of fast food and convenience foods.

    20th Century: The 20th century saw further industrialization of food production, as well as the emergence of food science and technology. Fast food chains proliferated, and processed foods became ubiquitous in Western diets. However, there was also a growing interest in organic and sustainable food practices.

    Contemporary Food Trends: In recent decades, there has been a resurgence of interest in traditional and regional cuisines, as well as a focus on health, sustainability, and ethical food production. Food globalization continues, with fusion cuisines and cross-cultural culinary influences becoming more prominent.

    Throughout history, food has not only been essential for survival but also a reflection of cultural identity, social status, and economic conditions. The evolution of culinary traditions and food systems has been shaped by a complex interplay of factors, including geography, politics, religion, technology, and globalization.

  • NO SMART CRACKS FROM ANYONE!!!!!

    How Old is granddad?

    Stay with this -- the answer is at the end. It will blow you away.

    One evening a grandson was talking to his granddad about current events.

    The grandson asked his granddad what he thought about the shootings at schools, the computer age, and just things in general.

    The Granddad replied, "Well, let me think a minute, I was born before:

    ' television

    ' penicillin

    ' polio shots

    frozen foods

    ' Xerox

    contact lenses

    Frisbees and

    ' the pill

    There were no:

    ' credit cards

    laser beams or

    ball-point pens

    Man had not yet invented:

    pantyhose

    air conditioners

    dishwashers

    clothes dryers

    and the clothes were hung out to dry in the fresh air and

    ' man hadn't yet walked on the moon

    Your Grandmother and I got married first, and then lived together. Every family had a father and a mother.

    Until I was 25, I called every man older than me, "Sir."

    And after I turned 25, I still called policemen and every man with a title, "Sir."

    We were before gay-rights, computer-dating, dual careers, daycare centers, and group therapy.

    Our lives were governed by the Ten Commandments, good judgment, and common sense.

    We were taught to know the difference between right and wrong and to stand up and take responsibility for our actions.

    Serving your country was a privilege; living in this country was a bigger privilege.

    We thought fast food was what people ate during Lent.

    Having a meaningful relationship meant getting along with your cousins.

    Draft dodgers were those who closed front doors as the evening breeze started.

    Time-sharing meant time the family spent together in the evenings and weekends-not purchasing condominiums.

    We never heard of FM radios, tape decks , CD's, electric typewriters, yogurt, or guys wearing earrings.

    We listened to Big Bands, Jack Benny, and the President's speeches on our radios.

    And I don't ever remember any kid blowing his brains out listening to Tommy Dorsey.

    If you saw anything with 'Made in Japan ' on it, it was junk.

    The term 'making out' referred to how you did on your school exam.

    Pizza Hut, McDonald's, and instant coffee were unheard of.

    We had 5 &10-cent stores where you could actually buy things for 5 and 10 cents.

    Ice-cream cones, phone calls, rides on a streetcar, and a Pepsi were all a nickel.

    And if you didn't want to splurge, you could spend your nickel on enough stamps to mail 1 letter and 2 postcards.

    You could buy a new Ford Coupe for $600, but who could afford one?

    Too bad, because gas was 11 cents a gallon.

    In my day:

    "grass" was mowed,

    “gay” was happy

    ' "coke" was a cold drink,

    "pot" was something your mother cooked in and

    "rock music" was your grandmother's lullaby.

    ' "Aids" were helpers in the Principal's office,

    ' "chip" meant a piece of wood,

    ' "hardware" was found in a hardware store and.

    "software" wasn't even a word.

    And we were the last generation to actually believe that a lady needed a husband to have a baby.

    No wonder people call us "old and confused" and say there is a generation gap.

    How old do you think I am?

    Are you ready?????

    He would be 65 years old , Born in 1952 .

    GIVES YOU SOMETHING TO THINK ABOUT.

    PASS THIS ON TO THE OLD ONES.

    THE YOUNG ONES WOULDN'T BELIEVE IT.

    (IMHO: YET,...MOST OF THIS IS PRETTY DAMNED ACCURATE!!)

  • I've decided to monetize my writing. Help the darkcat out. For the cost of one coffee you get at Starbucks per month, you can sponsor me at substack. I do have a free version of the substack as well, just plug in your email. Don't worry, I don't see it.

  • German approve the partial legalization of cannabis in the country
    On February 23rd, 2024, German approve the partial legalization of cannabis in the country. The voting breakdown and the parties involved. If Germany passes in the parliament the cannabis bill, it would join the growing ranks of European countries 407 parliamentarians voted in favor of the legislation put forward by the ruling.

    On February 23rd, 2024, the German Bundestag took a significant step by approving the partial legalization of cannabis in the country. Here’s a breakdown of the voting and the parties involved:

    407 parliamentarians voted in favor of the legislation, which was put forward by the ruling coalition. This coalition comprises the following parties:

    Social Democratic Party (SPD): is a center-left party.

    Free Democratic Party (FDP): A business-focused liberal party.

    Greens: An environmentalist party.

    226 lawmakers rejected the bill, while four MPs abstained from voting.

    The new law aims to facilitate the responsible use of cannabis by allowing limited legal possession and cultivation of the drug, subject to numerous rules and restrictions. However, opinions in Germany remain divided, with approximately 47% of respondents expressing some level of support for the legislation, while 42% are somewhat or completely against it.

    If Germany successfully passes this cannabis bill in parliament, it will join other European countries that have either legalized or decriminalized cannabis usage. For instance:

    The Netherlands is well-known for its cannabis-tolerant approach, with coffee shops allowing possession of up to 5 grams of cannabis (though cultivation, sale, and possession remain illegal).

    Malta has relatively tolerant laws, permitting adults to carry up to 7 grams of cannabis and grow up to four plants at home.

    Luxembourg allows public possession of cannabis and cultivation of up to four plants.

    Portugal treats cannabis consumption and small amounts as an administrative offense.

    Spain permits private consumption of up to 100 grams but prohibits public use.

    Several EU countries allow medical use of marijuana and related products.
