Two primary catego- ries of terms were considered. The first regarding definitions of meat including related terms, e.g., “red” and “white” meat. The second regarding terms describing the processing of meat. In general, meat is defined as skeletal muscle and associated tissues derived from mammals as well as avian and aquatic species. The associated terms, especially “red” and “white” meat have been a continual source of confusion to classify meats for dietary recommendations, communicate nutrition policy, and provide medical advice, but were originally not intended for those purposes.

  • Olive Oil Jars Left Behind By
    live oil jars left behind by the ancient Greeks are testament to our centuries- old use of cooking oil. Along with salt and pepper, oil Oremains one of the most important and versatile tools in your kitchen. It keeps food from sticking to pans, adds flavor and moisture, and conducts the heat that turns a humble stick of potato into a glorious french fry. Like butter and other fats, cooking oil also acts as a powerful solvent, unleashing fat-soluble nutrients and flavor compounds in everything from tomatoes and onions to spices and herbs. It’s why so many strike recipes begin with heating garlic in oil rather than, say, simmering it in water. The ancient Greeks didn’t tap many cooking oils. (Let’s see: olive oil, olive oil, or—ooh, this is exciting!—how about olive oil?) But you certainly can.

  • Barbecue 101 Part 4
    Barbecue 101 Part IV-B: Seasoning Methods If you do it right, you don’t need sauce By Dan Gill, Ethno-Gastronomist Barbecue and smoked meats are normally seasoned before they go on the smoker. Most folks use brines and dry-rubs for flavor development, but the practice actually evolved for food-safety reasons and is a holdover from curing techniques. Making traditional barbecue and smoked foods involves keeping meat, poultry or fish in the “danger zone” and in a low-oxygen environment for many hours; ideal conditions for the growth of unfriendly microbes. Dry rubs and brines contain salt, sugar and spices that can retard microbial growth. Cold smoking for prolonged periods at temperatures below 100°F can actually foster growth of the dread and deadly C. botulinum bacterium; therefore, “curing salts” containing nitrates and nitrites are often added to brines and dry-rubs for cold smoked (uncooked) sausages, fish, and cured meats but are neither needed nor recommended for barbecue or smoke cooking. Brines were initially used to “pickle” and preserve meats, fish and vegetables. Salt was added to water until it would float a potato or fresh egg, and then the meat was soaked until it absorbed sufficient salt to preserve it. Fresh eggs were specified because stored eggs, such as those available commercially, have larger air pockets and float at lower salinities. Saturated brines were also used to “strike down” fish and meat before they were packed in dry salt to keep. We now use much weaker brines to flavor meats, fish and poultry and to prepare them for slow cooking.

  • A Baseline Analysis of Poaching in Chiquibul National Park
    A BASELINE ANALYSIS OF POACHING IN CHIQUIBUL NATIONAL PARK BY KATHERINE GROFF A THESIS Submitted to Michigan State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Science Fisheries and Wildlife ABSTRACT A BASELINE ANALYSIS OF POACHING IN CHIQUIBUL NATIONAL PARK BY KATHERINE GROFF Illegal hunting of wildlife, also known as poaching, in Chiquibul National Park (CNP) may be contributing to decreasing wildlife populations. Management strategies are limited due to a lack of information on the extent of poaching and motivations of poachers. The objectives of this research are to assess the extent of poaching, to address Guatemalan border community residents’ understanding of wildlife in CNP and what animal species are targeted by hunters, and to investigate factors affecting poaching in CNP and Guatemalan border residents’ perceptions about poaching in CNP. These objectives were addressed by (1) synthesizing information found in CNP Ranger field notebooks and reports, (2) interviewing Guatemalan border community residents, and (3) interviewing authorities in Guatemala and Belize. Guatemalan border community residents perceived a lower level of poaching in the CNP than CNP rangers, but both thought that poaching has decreased over the years. CNP rangers considered poaching to be a danger to wildlife in the area, and they thought that wildlife numbers have suffered due to poaching. This research demonstrated little support for the hypothesis that legal regulations and the enforcement of regulations are factors that contribute to whether respondents view other community members as contributing to poaching. However, the subsistence needs of hunters and their families is an important factor affecting residents’ decision to poach.
