Once found they are sold through a cooperative, as a chef I went "hunting " in both Italy for the white Alba truffles,and in France for the black summer one, they are taken to a wholesaler or to a processing centre, Harrods the one time I was in there in the late 1990's had a display, and a...

Like with the seasonings on Lays and Hostess potato chips like Roast chicken and Gravy flavours and other's, it is not real meat in them they synthesize the flavours with veggie and yeast extracts, smoke flavour and tomato powder, like Hickory Sticks from Hostess have no real bacon in them, the...

I know in the UK they sell Horse milk in places and in Italy you can buy water buffalo milk for making Mozzarella di Bufalo, Yak milk does not travel we, I had cheese made from it as cheese in Singapore and ice cream made from Reindeer milk in Sweden, I did once try real camels milk, not bad.

I never do whether it be for yeast breads, quick breads/muffins or cakes, the whole grain cereals add abit of texture and nuttiness, plus the heat of the oven will soften them. Old fashion oat or 7 grain cereals are fine raw/uncooked to add straight to a recipe

I use palm oil when I was a chef, and while it has a nice flavour, it is not the best for salad dressings, olive oil, veg oil, grapeseed oil even nut oils like walnut or hazelnut are nicer, when chilled palm oil tends to congeal and be come harder, but you can add a teaspoon to you favourite...

I have seen them for sale on Ebay, under the Home and garden division, Food and Wine Category, and the Spices and Condiments section, just type in Cincinnati Chili and it will take you to the sellers, I got 3 envelopes a few month back, there always stocked.

Well as a former chef and from Canada, I have made a few in my time, the historical info the second lady gave is fine but will sound like you cut and pasted it from the net and garner you a poor mark, true it is a Quebecoise winter treat, made with maple syrup, if your from Canada it is made...

Just melt the butter in a pot or a bowl over simmering water, add the MM and stir until liquid, add the cereal, mix in and the press into your grease baking pan and let set, I would not use a pan to do thing, do you not have a pot big enough to mix the whole batch in.

Cheryl is right, any one will do, a covered aluminium casserole, Healthware pot, Le Cruest even a small covered roast pan and do it slowly in the oven, I use amy crockpot for all most everything I stew or braise.

I am a former chef and here in Canada, Toronto ON mostly we have a fair number of Chinese and Indian buffet places, a few Italian and some others, but there are some who prefer a smaller meal, I go as I can choose my foods, and correct the portions, I am a lacto-ovo vegetarian and type 2...
