  • Diet Manual for Long-Term Care Residents 2014 Revision
    1 Diet Manual for Long-Term Care Residents 2014 Revision The Office of Health Care Quality is pleased to release the latest revision of the Diet Manual for Long-Term Care Residents. This manual is a premier publication—serving as a resource for providers, health care facilities, caregivers and families across the nation. In long-term care facilities, meeting nutritional requirements is not as easy as it sounds. It is important to provide a wide variety of food choices that satisfy each resident’s physical, ethnic, cultural, and social needs and preferences. These considerations could last for months or even years. Effective nutritional planning, as well as service of attractive, tasty, well-prepared food can greatly enhance the quality of life for long-term care residents. The Diet Manual for Long Term Care Residents was conceived and developed to provide guidance and assistance to nursing home personnel. It has also been used successfully in community health programs, chronic rehabilitation, and assisted living programs. It serves as a guide in prescribing diets, an aid in planning regular and therapeutic diet menus, and as a reference for developing recipes and preparing diets. The publication is not intended to be a nutrition-care manual or a substitute for individualized judgment of a qualified professional. Also included, is an appendix that contains valuable information to assess residents’ nutritional status. On behalf of the entire OHCQ agency, I would like to thank the nutrition experts who volunteered countless hours to produce this valuable tool. We also appreciate Beth Bremner and Cheryl Cook for typing the manual.

  • Potential for Growth of Clostridium Perfringens from Spores in Pork Scrapple During Cooling
    FOODBORNE PATHOGENS AND DISEASE Volume 7, Number 2, 2010 ª Mary Ann Liebert, Inc. DOI: 10.1089=fpd.2009.0405 Potential for Growth of Clostridium perfringens from Spores in Pork Scrapple During Cooling Vijay K. Juneja,1 Anna C.S. Porto-Fett,1 Kelly Gartner,2 Linda Tufft,2 and John B. Luchansky1 Abstract We conducted stabilization studies to determine the ability of Clostridium perfringens spores to germinate and grow during exponential cooling of a commercial formulation of pork scrapple. Scrapple was inoculated with a mixture of three strains of C. perfringens spores (NTCC 8238, NCTC 8239, and ATCC 10288), vacuum packaged, and reheated (20 min=93.38C) in a circulating water bath. The cooked samples were cooled (30 s) in an ice bath before being transferred to a programmable water bath to cool through the temperature range of 54.48C to 7.28C in 12, 14, or 21 h to simulate deviations from the required cooling time of 6.5 h. After cooling, the samples, in duplicate, were analyzed to determine if growth from spores had occurred. The samples were plated onto tryptose–sulfite–cycloserine agar and incubated anaerobically at 378C for 48 h before counting the colonies. Minimal growth (less than 1.0 log) was observed during a 12- or 14 h cooling period. However, when the time to achieve 7.28C was extended to 21 h, C. perfringens spores germinated and grew from an inoculum of *3.0 log10 to *7.8 log10 CFU=g. Thus, scrapple must be cooled after cooking to 7.28C within 6.5 h, but for no more than 14 h, to prevent a food safety hazard from outgrowth of C.

  • Livermush Is a Unique Regional Pork Dish That Can Only Be Found in a Small Area of North Carolina
    Archived thesis/research paper/faculty publication from the University of North Carolina at Asheville’s NC DOCKS Institutional Repository: http://libres.uncg.edu/ir/unca/ º [Music Througout] º >> [Voice over]: Livermush is a unique regional pork dish that can only be found in a small area of North Carolina. Livermush is made by mixing pork scraps, pork liver, cornmeal, and spices; which are then formed into a brick. The most common way to prepare livermush is to cut the brick into half inch slices and fry them in butter. These slices are often served alone or in between two halves of a biscuit with yellow mustard or grape jelly. The production of livermush has been industrialized in the last century by local companies such as Mack's Livermush & Meats in Shelby, North Carolina and Neese's in Greensboro, North Carolina; but before livermush was mass produced it was made at home. This food tradition is thought to have been brought to Western North Carolina by German immigrants. Germans, like many other Europeans, came to America hoping to build better lives without poverty or persecution. Many Germans first settled in Pennsylvania but then journeyed to the Appalachian mountains of North Carolina. According to the United States Census of 1792 approximately 20,000 Germans were living in North Carolina. This makes up five percent of the population at the time. These Germans took an old dish, pon hoss, from their homeland and made the old recipe work for the new world. Pon Hoss developed into scrapple in Pennsylvania and into livermush in North Carolina.

  • Cultural Icons
    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/UK_topics#Cultural_icons Cultural icons Bagpipes Bagpipes are a class of musical instrument, aerophones using enclosed reeds. The term is equally correct in the singular or plural, although pipers most commonly talk of "pipes" and "the bagpipe". Skirl is a term used by pipers to describe an unintended shrill sound made by the chanter, and is usually produced when the chanter reed is too easy and thus the chanter is overblown. Sometimes the term is also somewhat mistakenly used to describe the general sound produced by a bagpipe. The history of the bagpipe is very unclear. However, it seems likely they were first invented in pre-Christian times. Nero is generally accepted to have been a player; there are Greek depictions of pipers, and the Roman legions are thought to have marched to bagpipes. The idea of taking a leather bag and combining it with a chanter and inflation device seems to have originated with various ethnic groups in the Roman empire. In the modern era the use of bagpipes has become a common tradition for military funerals and memorials in the anglophone world, and they are often used at the funerals of high-ranking civilian public officials as well. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/UK_topics#Cultural_icons Big Ben Big Ben is the colloquial name of the Clock Tower of the Palace of Westminster in London and an informal name for the Great Bell of Westminster, part of the Great Clock of Westminster.

  • Scrapple Is Typically Eaten As a Breakfast Side Dish
    Scrapple Is Typically Eaten As A Breakfast Side Dish National Scrapple Day is observed annually on November 9th. Scrapple is arguably the first pork food invented in America. For those who are not familiar with scrapple, which is also known by the Pennsylvania Dutch name “pon haus,“ it is traditionally a mush of pork scraps and trimmings combined with cornmeal, wheat flour and spices. (The spices may include but are not limited to sage, thyme, savory and black pepper.) The mush is then formed into a semi-solid loaf, sliced and pan-fried. The immediate ancestor of scrapple was the Low German dish called panhas, which was adapted to make use of locally available ingredients and, in parts of Pennsylvania, it is still called Pannhaas, panhoss, ponhoss or pannhas. It was in the 17th and 18th centuries that the first recipes for scrapple were created by Dutch colonists who settled near Philadelphia and Chester County, Pennsylvania. Hence the origin of its discovery, it is strongly associated with rural areas surrounding Philadelphia, Baltimore, Washington D.C., eastern Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Maryland, Delaware, eastern Virginia and the Delmarva Peninsula. Scrapple can be found in supermarkets throughout the area in both refrigerated and frozen cases. Home recipes for beef, chicken and turkey scrapple are available. Scrapple is sometimes deep-fried or broiled instead of pan frying. Scrapple is typically eaten as a breakfast side dish. There’s a very popular scrapple festival. Yes, you read that correctly. Now in its 25th year, the Apple Scrapple festival in Bridgeville, Del. — a short two-hour jaunt from Philly — celebrates all things scrapple and apples and attracts more than 25,000 visitors each year.

REPAST VOLUME XXIV, NUMBER 4 FALL 2008 Editor’s Note on Baklava Second Helpings Allowed! Charles Perry, who wrote the article “Damascus Cuisine” in our last issue, was the editor of a book Medieval Arab Cookery (Prospect Books, 2001) that sheds further light on the origins of baklava, the Turkish sweet discussed by Sheilah Kaufman in this issue. A dish described in a 13th-Century Baghdad cookery Sweets from the manuscript appears to be an early version of baklava, consisting of thin sheets of bread rolled around a marzipan-like filling of almond, sugar, and rosewater (pp. 84-5). The name given to this Middle East, Part 2 sweet was lauzinaj, from an Aramaic root for “almond”. Perry argues (p. 210) that this word gave birth to our term lozenge, the diamond shape in which later versions of baklava were often Scheduled for our Winter 2009 issue— sliced, even up to today. Interestingly, in modern Turkish the word baklava itself is used to refer to this geometrical shape. • Joan Peterson, “Halvah in Ottoman Turkey” Further information about the Baklava Procession mentioned • Tim Mackintosh-Smith, “A Note on the by Sheilah can be found in an article by Syed Tanvir Wasti, Evolution of Hindustani Sweetmeats” “The Ottoman Ceremony of the Royal Purse”, Middle Eastern Studies 41:2 (March 2005), pp.
