POPSAbout smoked paprika Click through for the list of suggested uses. More: The color is a striking deep red that spreads through any dish to which it is added. It has an intoxicating smoky aroma from the slow oak smoking, and a silky texture from the repeated grinding between stones. We like to add it to our spice rub or barbecue sauce for baby back ribs, or as an accent for roast potatoes or as a flavoring for potatoes and fish dishes, all things with shrimp, light stews, sauces, garlic chicken and roasted meats.

POPSFood of the week: Cauliflower Cauliflower traces its ancestry to the wild cabbage, a plant thought to have originated in ancient Asia Minor, which resembled kale or collards more than the vegetable that we now know it to be. The cauliflower went through many transformations and reappeared in the Mediterranean region, where it has been an important vegetable in Turkey and Italy since at least 600 B.C. It gained popularity in France in the mid-16th century and was subsequently cultivated in Northern Europe and the British Isles. The United States, France, Italy, India and China are countries that produce significant amounts of cauliflower.

POPSMSG: the secret behind the savor More: I made two versions of pad kee mao, with and without Maggi, and while both were good, the one with MSG had the kind of round flavor I’d normally associate with homemade chicken stock or some form of professional expertise. Tasted straight, though, the sauces had the chemical, tangy aftertaste common to many processed foods. “Too much MSG and you get that harsh, acrid taste,” said Mr. Pelaccio, who uses an empty barrel of Ajinomoto-brand MSG he found on the street as a plant stand in his Chinatown apartment. “But get it just right and that dish will sing.”… The role of MSG in food, and its effects on health, remain controversial…MSG is blamed by some groups for a range of serious neurological and physiological disorders…But no large-scale clinical research has been done since the F.D.A.’s 1995 review.

POPS'Joy of Cooking' or 'Joy of Obesity'? i think that Obesity is both concrete and a symbol to the increment of availability without a concomitant change of perception. So having more for people that are the same, makes them bigger and heavier, but not necessarily faster or wiser .
