Food and Economics: Flavor Comes Last
http://eateconomics.blogspot.com/2007/02/flavor-comes-last.html
Wednesday, February 28, 2007. Have you ever had a tomato that looked perfect but tasted like nothing? You wouldn't be alone: 217,000 webpages complain about tasteless tomatoes. And another 66,000 write on flavorless tomatoes. In an era of consumer sovereignty, this seems a little odd. Why do we spend $4 billion [ USDA. On tomatoes if we don't like their flavor? Maybe it's all in our minds? Is it soft and wrinkled? Are there bad spots? Was it smashed in shipping? If it's bad, we don't buy. While they are ...

Food and Economics: Jambalaya
http://eateconomics.blogspot.com/2013/02/jambalaya.html
Tuesday, February 12, 2013. Jambalaya is a classic Louisiana dish that can be made with a huge variety of different ingredients. Here's the version that I've made every Mardi Gras for over ten years. It takes a fair amount of time to make this. Some steps can be done a few days in advance. 3 stalks of celery. 3 cups of rice. 2 cans (28 oz each) whole tomatoes. 3 cups chicken stock. 2 tsp cayenne pepper. 1 tsp white pepper. 1 tsp black pepper. 1 cup vegetable oil. Then everything goes into a big oven dish...

http://eateconomics.blogspot.com/2013/02/red-beans-and-rice.html
Tuesday, February 12, 2013. Red Beans and Rice. Red Beans and Rice are another traditional Louisiana food that I make for Mardi Gras. It's a simple dish but tasty and always popular. 2 pounds dried small red beans. 2 pounds smoked sausage. Wash the beans and add enough water to cover them in a pot. Soak overnight. Chop the onions and and them and the bay leaves to the pot. Bring the beans to a boil, then lower to a simmer. Cook everything for an hour or so, until the beans are tender. A Year in Uruguay.

Food and Economics: Mardi Gras
http://eateconomics.blogspot.com/2013/02/mardi-gras.html
Tuesday, February 12, 2013. Mardi Gras in New Orleans marks the end of the carnival season. Michigan's "Fat Tuesday" celebrations focus on paczki. Which are fine, but a glorified donut can't really compete with Cajun and Creole cooking. While it's impossible to replicate the French Quarter or the Carnival parades, the cooking is easier to recreate. My recipes to celebrate Mardi Gras include: Jamabalaya. Red Beans and Rice. No time to cook? Posted by Chuck Stull. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

Carvallo says his store goes through 10 to 15 cases of Mexican Coke a week – his entire stock – while he's barely able to push five cases of the domestic version. Sometimes I have it left over," he said of the domestic Coke he orders. "Sometimes a case, case and a half. So it's a lot of difference.". Here's a post by Grant McCracken. I teach economics...

Food and Economics: Nutmeg for New York
http://eateconomics.blogspot.com/2007/02/nutmeg-for-new-york.html
Saturday, February 3, 2007. Nutmeg for New York. You probably know the story of Peter Miniut buying Manhattan in 1626 for $24. And you may be familiar with the compound interest calculation that shows $24, invested for nearly four hundred years, grows enough to buy back the entire island. At current real-estate prices, but what's less well-known is why the Dutch gave Manhattan to the British. The answer, surprisingly, is nutmeg. For almost two centuries, people everywhere bought nutmeg from the Dutch Eas...
