]‘Fish don’t fart’ and other hot news

Are these Pennsylvania cows giving off too much gas?

Some days, the world of agricultural news just organizes itself for you.

Today is a good example. The three headlines below all came in the same e-mail document from a service, PR Newswire for Journalists.

What’s curious about the language of press releases sometimes is how certain words and phrases stick in your mind, and I give you these examples:

Revolutionary New Invention Receives World-Wide Attention - Portable Farms

Portable Farms is an invention that will "solve world hunger and poverty" if a lot of people would use it to grow their own tilapia fish and organic vegetables in backyards and basements. The company’s "light-hearted" motto, "Fish don’t fart," makes the point that the technology is designed "to save the world from gas emissions from cattle." It's a big idea, saving the world from hunger with these fish tanks, but I confess that it's the motto that got my attention. Fart is a word you don’t see much in the farm press, even though a fair amount of it takes place in the countryside.

Toronto Food Alphabet

Gremolata just published their essential ABC of Toronto restaurants, so I decided to do something similar just for fun, with both restaurants and food shops: not necessarily what I think of as the very best, but the ones I feel the most attachment to and think of first. Of course I had to leave out a lot.

Canning Organic Tomato Sauce

I bought as many organic plum-style tomatoes as would fit into one bike pannier at the farmer's market this morning. Now I'm covered with essence of tomato as the pot burbles away and I try not to think about the fact that my output for the day is likely to be about four $10 jars of pasta sauce.

The fun of course is rationalizing the cost. My favourite argument, which I have dubbed the ratio ad impulsum emptori, or the Argument of Impulse Shopping, is that if I hadn't used the entire afternoon blanching, peeling and seeding tomatoes, I might have ended up spending a small fortune on mani-pedis, sushi and movie popcorn.

I guess I'm kind of freestyling this batch. I sizzled a handful of chopped organic garlic in some nice fruity olive oil. Then I added the chopped tomato flesh and juice after the skins, seeds and tough stem-connection parts had been removed. I tossed in a little salt, some ground black pepper, some thyme, a few bay leaves and a pinch of sugar. I let it boil slowly for a little while.

Now it's just a matter of letting the whole thing simmer (covered) until it seems smooth. These tomatoes are so robust that they're resisting breaking down. Jonathan assures me that the covered simmering will do the trick, (He also says "By the way, if you put a couple of chef's tears in there... it always tastes better.")

Making Churros at the Hot and Spicy Food Festival at Harbourfront

Neither especially hot nor especially spicy, the Spanish street treat known as the churro is nonethless fun and festive. The thick (sometimes potato-based) batter is extruded from a specialized device called a churrera (Andrea the Gastronaut has a picture of it in her post on the festival; it's not unlike a Play-Doh Fun Factory), then deep-fried (above).

Don't Eat the Peanut Butter...FDA warns

CNN) -- Federal officials are urging consumers to put off eating foods that contain peanut butter until they can be they are sure they do not contain products manufactured by the Peanut Corp. of America, some of which were found to contain salmonella.

Food and Drug Administration officials said Saturday that peanut butter and peanut paste made from ground roasted peanuts, manufactured in Peanut Corp.'s Blakely, Georgia, plant were found to contain the bacteria, although a direct link to the strain that has now sickened 474 people in 43 states has not been found.

Six deaths may have been connected to this salmonella outbreak.

Peanut Corp. announced an expanded recall of peanut butter and peanut paste produced from its Georgia plant Friday night. Peanut Corp. doesn't directly supply to supermarkets, so brand-name peanut butters are not expected to be affected, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

Instead, Peanut Corp. sells produce in bulk. The peanut butter is sold by in containers from 5 to 1,700 pounds. Peanut paste is sold in sizes from 35-pound containers to tankers.

Peanut Butter Salmonella Recall Expanded

An initial peanut butter recall issued last week for large tubs of peanut butter potentially contaminated with Salmonella, was expanded over the weekend to include peanut paste made at the same manufacturing plant. This paste may have been used by a number of different manufacturers in products like peanut butter crackers, cookies, cakes and ice cream.

Health officials indicate that a recent salmonella food poisoning outbreak, which has surfaced over the past four months, appears to be linked to peanut butter manufactured at a Georgia processing plant owned by Peanut Corporation of America.

Product samples have tested positive for Salmonella typhimurium, which is the same strain of bacteria that has been identified in over 400 people who have been sickened in at least 43 states.

Peanut Butter Recall Expands To Pet Food

Peanut Butter Recall Expands To Pet Food

Salmonella Infection Numbers Still Rising


By JULIE JARGON

The peanut butter recall that has affected cookies, crackers and other food is now extending to some pet food.

PetSmart is recalling seven of its Great Choice Dog Biscuit products that contain peanut paste made by Peanut Corp. of America, the Virginia-based company that's the focus of a Food and Drug Administration investigation into potential salmonella contamination of the peanut butter and paste made at its Blakely, Ga., facility.

So far, the salmonella outbreak has sickened 485 people in 43 states and Canada and may have contributed to six deaths.

PetSmart said isn't aware of any cases of pets becoming ill from the products but has removed them from its store shelves and website and is conducting the recall as a precautionary measure.

The recalled products include packages ranging in size from 32 ounces to 10 pounds, sold between Aug. 21, 2008, and Jan. 19, 2009.
