Food Brands Of The United Kingdom
Food is any substance consumed by an organism for nutritional support. Food is usually of plant, animal, or fungal origin and contains essential nutrients such as carbohydrates, fats, proteins, vitamins, or minerals. The substance is ingested by an organism and assimilated by the organism's cells to provide energy, maintain life, or stimulate growth. Different species of animals have different feeding behaviours that satisfy the needs of their metabolisms and have evolved to fill a specific ecological niche within specific geographical contexts. Omnivorous humans are highly adaptable and have adapted to obtaining food in many different ecosystems. Humans generally use cooking to prepare food for consumption. The majority of the food energy required is supplied by the industrial food industry, which produces food through intensive agriculture and distributes it through complex food processing and food distribution systems. This system of conventional agriculture relies heav ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Hob (hearth)
In a kitchen the hob is a projection, shelf, grate or bench for holding food or utensils at the back or side of a hearth ( fireplace) to keep them warm, or an internal chimney-corner. In modern British English usage, the word refers to a cooktop or hotplate, as distinguished from an oven. Etymology The word is a noun meaning approximately "holder", derived from the Old English verb ''habban'' "to have, hold". The word ''hub'' "support of a disk or wheel" is apparently from the same source. Gallery Image:BurgBoetzelaer06.jpg , A fireplace in a German castle showing a brick hob.

Dark Chocolate
Dark chocolate is a form of chocolate made from cocoa solids, cocoa butter and sugar. It has a higher cocoa percentage than white chocolate, milk chocolate, and semisweet chocolate. Dark chocolate is valued for claimed—though unsupported—health benefits, and for its reputation as a sophisticated choice of chocolate. Like milk and white chocolate, dark chocolate is used to make chocolate bars and to coat confectionery. Dark chocolate gained much of its reputation in the late 20th century, as French chocolatiers worked to establish dark chocolate as preferred over milk chocolate in the French national palate. As this preference was exported to countries such as the United States, associated values of terroir, bean-to-bar chocolate making and gourmet chocolate followed. Due to the high cocoa percentage, dark chocolate can contain particularly high amounts of heavy metals such as lead and cadmium. Compared to other types of chocolate, dark chocolate has a more bitter and int ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Dunking (biscuit)
To dunk or to dip a biscuit or some other food, usually baked goods, means to submerge it into a drink, especially tea, coffee, or milk. Dunking releases more flavour from confections by dissolving the sugars, while also softening their texture. Dunking can be used to melt chocolate on biscuits to create a richer flavour. Dunking is a popular way of enjoying biscuits in many countries. A popular form of dunking in Australia is the " Tim Tam Slam", also known as 'tea sucking'. The physics of dunking is driven by the porosity of the biscuit and the surface tension of the beverage. A biscuit is porous and, when dunked, capillary action draws the liquid into the interstices between the crumbs. Dunking is first reported with ancient Romans softening their hard unleavened wafers (Latin: ''bis coctum'' – "twice baked") in wine. Modern day dunking has its roots in naval history when, in the 16th century, biscuits known as "hard tack" were on board Royal Navy ships, which were so hard t ...
