Waspada dan Kenali Produk Impor yang Mengandung BabiSemua produk pangan yang beredar di Indonesia wajib mencantumkan label sesuai pasal 30 UU Pangan No 7 tahun 1996 tentang Label dan iklan pangan. Label tersebut memuat sekurang-kurangnya informasi mengenai nama produk, daftar bahan yang digunakan, berat bersih atau isi bersih, nama dan alamat pihak yang memproduksi atau memasukkan pangan ke dalam wilayah Indonesia, serta keterangan tentang halal serta tanggal, bulan, dan tahun kadaluarsa.Lebih delapan tahun sejak undang-undang tersebut dikeluarkan, isi dari pasal tersebut belum terealisasi dengan baik. Bahkan, semakin banyak produk impor yang beredar yang sama sekali tidak memenuhi poin diatas. Hal ini sangat merugikan konsumen Indonesia, khususnya konsumen Muslim. Akhir bulan lalu, Jurnal Halal yang dikelola oleh Lembaga Pengkajian Pangan, Kosmetika, Obat-obatan, dan Pangan majelis Ulama Indonesia (LP POM MUI) mengadakan penelitian tentang produk-produk ini.

Expensive Tea: The Real Story

Expensive Tea - The Real StorySo people keep asking me about expensive tea. I'm not sure why, it could be some cosmic coincidence, the higher powers sense that the subject in general is a source of frustration to me. Truth be told, it's probably a good thing that I get a chance to share some facts and shed light on the issue, but it also serves as a constant reminder that we're so far behind the rest of the world - in our knowledge of this most incredible of beverages.On to the point of the story - what's the deal with expensive tea?First and foremost, 95% of all tea is highly inexpensive. That percentile encompasses most of the 'higher end' of the available harvests, some truly amazing rich and complex flavors out there for your drinking pleasure.Compared to most other luxury consumables like cigar and fine wine (yes, I do keep bringing up those two as relative reference), tea is CHEAP. Let's look at an example, to illustrate my point: a pound of tea for $160. It's something I


Salsa Is Good For You
2007-12-23 03:47:00
Salsa Is Good For YouWhen you think of condiments, what comes to mind? Ketchup, mustard and other condiments that have been in American culture for a very long time. Recently, with globalization and the immigration of foreigners to America, we have seen and tasted foods from all over the world. Salsa is quickly becoming the most popular condiment in the United States.According to sales records, salsa is taking over the top spot from ketchup. Unlike ketchup, salsa is easily made at home and offers a variety of ingredients and variations. You can increasingly see salsa being used on a variety of foods. It's successfully integrated its way into American foods. The other day, I saw somebody adding it to their baked potato. Although tomatoes are the main ingredient of salsa, many times, you'll see salsa without tomatoes.Fruit salsa (mango salsa) is becoming a very popular alternative to the traditional tomato salsa. Originally used strictly with Mexican food (salsa means sauce in Spanis


The Different Types of BBQ
2007-12-23 03:44:00
The Different Types of BBQ Most people thing of BBQ'ing as little more than throwing a few chicken breasts and the occasional rack of ribs on a grill and flipping them every so often. For the backyard pool-party that may pass muster, but a real BBQ fanatic knows how complicated and varied the process really is.There are several ways to BBQ and several styles to choose from. American BBQ aficionados generally prefer a slow and indirect method of BBQ'ing, normally smoke is used and the process sometimes takes up to 12 hours for a brisket of beef. With this method the food is cooked in a covered chamber. The heat is kept at a low to moderate level and the whole process takes a minimum of 1 to 1.5 hours. Keeping the meat well basted with good marinade helps to retain flavor and juiciness. An even slower version of BBQ'ing uses only the heated smoke to cook the meat.The flavored wood, chips or herb branches placed in the tray over the heat ads flavor to the smoke that is channeled into th


Leftover Thanksgiving Turkey Ideas

Leftover Thanksgiving Turkey IdeasThe next day after Thanksgiving is marked by the appearance of a seemingly endless stream of turkey sandwiches. It is, in its own way, part of the American Thanksgiving tradition. But is slapping a few slabs of white and dark on wheat with a smear of Mayo the only thing to do with leftovers from the big meal? Of course not!There are endless possibilities to explore with the remains of the bird. Tradition aside, what is turkey but fowl? That means that any dish that could contain chicken is a decent fit for turkey. Soups, salads, pastas and casseroles area all contenders. Even a turkey omelet can find its way into your post Thanksgiving turkey recipes. South of the border flavors aren't out of bounds either. A turkey enchilada or burrito is a unique yet tasty option, as is a turkey quesadilla (use dark meat for the latter so the flavor is strong enough to hold its own with the cheese).A turkey-based chili is a delight, and a nice belly warmer on a chil

Heart Healthy Cooking Tips

Heart Healthy Cooking TipsTaking care of the old ticker requires exercise and a decent diet. There's simply no substitute for either. We'll leave the aerobic concerns to more informed minds and stick to the stuff that goes in the gut, namely the heart healthy foods everyone needs to stay fit, and the heart healthy cooking techniques that keep them that way. There's no substitute for either of those either.Low saturated fat, low cholesterol dishes are what we're after here, and hold the butter and other added fats. The unhappy fact is that certain ingredients and preparation methods can add unwanted saturated fat and cholesterol to your food. One can bake without fear, broil to the heart's content and microwave all day (just don't stand too close). Poaching is cool and steaming is even better.Seafood, chicken and vegetables are all good candidates for grilling.

Chile Con Carne: A History
2007-12-23 03:34:00
Chile Con Carne: A History It's simple really. Peppers with meat in a spicy stew with tomatoes, onions, beans and other ingredients in as many variations as the mind can muster. From Baja to Cincinnati right through the heart of Texas, where it's the official state dish, chile con carne, or chili for short, is among the most famous indigenous American foods.Some say that chili was invented in Mexico during the 1840's, possibly in Chihuahua, as a complimentary dish served at cantinas for outsiders, who wanted something spicy and cheap. Others contend it was born in Ensenada, Mexico in the 1880's as a way of stretching available meat in the kitchens of poor Tejanos. Many Texans maintain that it was the invention of Texas cowhands who ate it by the bucketful as the drove their herds across the plains. The most imaginative origin traces its roots back to pre-Columbian Aztec chefs.What is known for a fact is that in the 1880's, colorfully-dressed Hispanic women called "Chili Queens" beg

A PerfectCaffeine Free Brew

A perfect caffeine free brewUnless you are a heartburn sufferer, you probably have no idea about the pain and discomfort that can be caused by coffee. Coffee lovers who experience this problem can face a real dilemma, do they enjoy the odd cup a risk hours of agony, or give it up altogether. In world where coffee has become part of our culture, and everybody seems to be constantly drinking the brew, it can be hard to remove it completely from your diet.

Be adventurous with your coffeeA number of coffee loving nationalities, along with coffee snobs worldwide will let you believe that straight and black is the only way to consume this fashionable drink. All I can say is that they don't know what they are missing out on. The vast possibilities for coffee drinkers today means there is a different taste and combination for every possible mood and occasion. We should start with coffee blends. Far from sticking to one bean to produce a single flavor, blenders invent fantastic combinations that can be a real treat to the palate.In Indonesia, Sumatran and Papua New Guinean beans are combined to produce a distinctive, rich brew. Sumatran beans are also combined with Columbian to create a dark roast with a slightly smoky taste.Introducing flavoring to your coffee can improve even the blandest of roasts. To sweeten a bitter or acidic brew try almond, vanilla or cherry flavoring. Certain syrups produce seasonal style coffees, such as gingerbread,

Memories and the Comforts of Food

Memories and the Comforts of FoodGrowing older has many good points I suppose. Maturity brings a lot of knowledge and experience one can share, with others but mainly with our children. Most are not in need or want of what we have learned in the past and prefer to experiment and learn for themselves.

Sharing the experience of foods enjoyed, cooking, and sharing tastes of the past are always welcomed.At this stage in my life after seventy one years I find that many happy memories seem to dwell on foods of my past.
