FOOD TRIVIA ❈ Celery has negative calories. It takes more calories to eat a piece of celery than the celery has in it to begin with. ❈ Honey is believed to be the only food that does not spoil. Honey found in the tombs of Egyptian pharaohs has been tasted by archaeologists and found to still be edible. ❈ Cheese closes the stomach and should always be served at the end of a meal. ❈ Peanuts are salted in the shell by boiling them in a heavily salted solution, then allowing them to dry. ❈ The canning process for herring was developed in Sardinia, which is why canned herrings are better known as sardines. ❈ A quarter of raw potato placed in each shoe at night will keep the leather soft and the shoes smelling fresh and clean. ❈ Pineapples are classified as berries. ❈ Over the last 40 years food production actually increased faster than population. ❈ Over 90% of all fish caught are caught in the northern hemisphere. ❈ Approximately one billion snails are served in restaurants annually. ❈ Vitamin A is known to prevent “night blindness,” and carrots are loaded with Vitamin A. One carrot provides more than 200% of recommended daily intake of Vitamin A. ❈ Carrots have zero fat content. ❈ Tea is said to have been discovered in 2737 BC by a Chinese emperor when some tea leaves accidentally blew into a pot of boiling water. ❈ In the 1950’s some 80% of chickens in Europe and the US were free-ranging. By 1980, it was only 1%. Today, about 13% of chickens in the West are free-ranging. ❈ An onion, apple and potato all have the same taste. The differences in flavour are caused by their smell.
