  • Oppgavetittel: Sild I Kokebøker Rundt Nordsjøen Mellom 1837 Og
    Masteroppgave i Kulturmøte Oppgavetittel: Sild i kokebøker rundt Nordsjøen mellom 1837 og 1929. Fellestrekk og forskjeller i Danmark, Norge og Skottland. Studiepoeng: 60 Forfatter: HansMorten Sundnes Måned / år: 11/2020 HØGSKULEN I VOLDA | BOKS 500 | 6101 VOLDA WWW.HIVOLDA.NO | T:70 07 50 00 | F: 70 07 50 51 Forord Da jeg vokste opp på 1960- og 1970-tallet, fikk jeg som regel pølse da de voksne hadde sild. I samme periode skrumpet jo den viktigste norske sildebestanden inn og ble nesten borte en periode. Under en reportasjetur utenfor Florø på slutten av 1980-tallet dukket det litt uventet opp sild i torskefangsten; journalisten fikk ha med seg hjem og stekte til middag. Og det har jo også vært både sildesalat til jul og rene sildebord i voksenlivet mitt. Jeg ble likevel en del av Sildas sivilisasjon, som den italienske historikeren Giovanni Rebora omtaler det nordlige Europa som. I Kulturmøte-studiet lærte jeg om Nordsjøbassenget som en mulig kulturmøtearena for landene rundt, og jeg at tenkte at også silda, som i stor grad befinner seg mellom nordsjølandene, kunne være et slags kulturmøtepunkt. Samtidig synes jeg kokeboka er litt undervurdert og lite utprøvd som kilde, og en oppgaveformulering begynte å ta form. Dette masterstudiet har skjedd ved siden av jobb. I tillegg har det dukket opp andre utenomprosjekter som har skjøvet studiet på sidelinjen. Dette har gjort at det også ble flere veiledere underveis: Først Atle Døssland, siden Dag Hundstad og så Atle Døssland og Erik Fooladi sammen. Jeg er glad for at det tross alt ble mulig å gjennomføre og setter pris på bidragene og tålmodigheten til alle disse.

  • Salted and Pickled Fish, Smoked Fish, Fish Fillet, Frozen Seafood
    How to Start Fish Processing Business (Salted and Pickled Fish, Smoked Fish, Fish Fillet, Frozen Seafood) Fish is a valuable source of high quality protein and, in the case of oily fish, fats of considerable nutritional importance. In many countries, large-scale commercial fish processing (mainly freezing for export and canning) takes place in parallel with traditional processing. The methods used by smaller enterprises remain based on traditional techniques of drying, salting, smoking and fermentation. www.entrepreneurindia.co There are more than 27 000 species of salt and freshwater fish; many more crustaceans, bivalves, and cephalopods can also be eaten. Fish and shellfish are the only foods that, globally, are still obtained in significant quantities from the wild. But many species are on the verge of commercial extinction and aquaculture is increasing worldwide. For instance, more than a third of the salmon eaten worldwide is farmed. Like meat, fish is also processed, for instance by drying, salting, and smoking. www.entrepreneurindia.co India is endowed with the largest livestock population in the world. Livestock and poultry in Indian tropical and sub tropics play a critical role in agriculture economy by providing milk, meat, eggs etc and provide flexible reserves during period of economic stress and buffer against crop failure. Mutton and Chicken is an important livestock product which in its widest sense includes all those parts of the animals that are used as the food by the man. So, with increase in population there is also an increasing consumer demand for food products that are low in fat, salt and cholesterol at local, national and international levels.

  • FISH IS "TURKEY" at CHRISTMAS -- December 16, 1947
    FISH IS “TURFEY” AT CRRISTMAS Christmas may mean a turkey dinner with all the trimmings ta most Amcr icans, but to many of those whose recent ancestry goes back to foreign lands, fish is n turkey” , according to the Fish and Wildlife Service. In Scandinavian communities throughout the United States, the proper Gelebra- tion of t5e Christmas and New Year hoiidays includes the serving of “lutefish” in large quantities. Lutefish -- or call it “‘Lutefisk or Vorwegian turkey” - is served as the maic dish at community suppers in churches and lodges or in private homes by persons of Norwe&an, Swedish, or Danish descent, As traditionally served, lutefish i.s piled high in quivering white ::elly-like flakes, with a covering of melted butter or milk gravy, and garnished with “lingon” Serries, a mountain cranberry, In their native lands, Scandinavians prepare their own lutefish from dried stoclc fish which in turn is prspa.red from various members of the cod family, This is a timel~onsuming process, requiring careful attention. In this country, however, prepared lute1 ish, usually imported from Norway, can be obtained f ram grocery stores and delicatessens. This product requires only simple cooking in the home, Eels, which during most of the year have only a limited sale in the United States, come into the:r own during the Christmas season, when quantities of them are brought into Mew York for the Italian-American trade. During the month before Christmas, fishermen from Eastport, Maine to Cristfield, Maryiand -- and in some Canadian provinces L are busy catching eels to supply this holiday market.

  • ENCYCLOPEDIA of FOODS Part II
    ENCYCLOPEDIA OF FOODS Part II art I of this book reviewed the relationship of diet to health and provided recommenda- Ptions for choosing foods and planning diets that contribute to health. The healthiest diets are based on a variety of plant foods—whole grains, vegetables, fruits, legumes, and nuts. Animal products and added fats and oils, sugars, and other sweeteners are best consumed in small quantities. The Food Guide Pyramid reviewed earlier in this book graphically emphasizes the proportions of these foods in the daily diet. Accordingly, we have arranged this section with priority given to grains, fruits, and vegetables—those items that should predominate at every meal and that most people need to consume in greater quantities. Animal products—meat and other high-protein foods and dairy foods—are also discussed. However, these are the foods that should make up relatively smaller parts of our diets. Part II introduces you to many foods from which you can choose and provides you with knowledge about the nutrients these foods have to offer. In addition, we provide informa- tion about the sources of the foods you purchase and eat—the individual plants and animals, how they are processed to the products that appear on store shelves, and some of the history of these foods in our diet. Before we introduce the foods themselves, we want to explain the arrangement and presentation of food items in these sections. Because this book is written for a North American audience, we have included food products that are available to most North Americans. Within the sections on Fruits and Vegetables, we have listed items by their common names in alphabetical order; when a food has more than one common name, the index should help in locating the item.

    Introworks & friends talk festive food The good, the bad, and the downright inedible Greetings Friends! 3 It’s been a crazy year, which is why we’re thrilled to wrap it up by getting back to the basics: Carbs, fat, sugar. And alcohol. This book is about the things we eat and drink to celebrate holidays-or whatever. Recipes are included where possible, in case you want to try your hand at whipping up, say, Chinese New Year Pineapple Tartlets, or Seared Woodpecker. The fare ranges from delicious to dismal, so cook at your own risk. It’s really not about the taste. Okay, maybe it is, partly. But what we’re here to celebrate is the tales. The legends. Because it’s the traditions and stories you bring to the table that make things festive, whatever you’ve got on your plate. 4 Table of Contents Bob’s Mom’s Finnan Haddie . 6 Tipsy Lady Rum Slush . 24 Could-Be-Moonshine Cobbler . 7 Amanda’s Grandma’s Cranberry Relish . 25 Super-Romantic Tuna Cheesies . 8 Lucky Luke’s Partridge Surprise . 26 Ellen’s 2nd Favorite Cookie . 9 Grandma’s “Delicious” Fruitcake . 27 Only-The-Classic Pecan Pie . 10 Caramels à la Flor . 28 Potica, (“Poh-Tee-Tzah”) . 11 Boiled Dinner . 29 Chinese New Year Pineapple Tarts . 12 Nearly Impossible Cream Candy . 30 Walleye Casserole . 14 Tony’s Swedish Meatballs . 31 Ore-Ida Frittata . 15 Katie’s Buffalo Dip . 32 Julie Fahrner’s Candy Cane Fudge . 16 Not-For-Breakfast Bagna Calda . 33 Secret Venison Jerky . 17 Grandma Bertha’s Vodka Slushy .
