Now this doesn’t necessarily prove eating oysters is a panacea for psychological problems as in this talk he was focusing on the role of this ω-3 fat which may be found in salmon, mackerel, herring and tuna primarily (mainly in cold-water fish). But it is also a fact that oysters ...
Here are burbling calls of curlew, piping of redshank, clamour of geese and whistling of wigeon. All these birds were once regularly eaten, but today only the wigeon is unprotected and can be quarry for the few remaining wildfowlers. In the creeks are oysters, once food for the masses ...

I’ve made a pie or two, with varying degrees of success, and I wouldn’t say they are the easiest thing to make. However, the simile refers to the eating of pie, not the creation of it. I think we probably all agree that enjoying the pie afterwards is not a difficult task. As ...
the owners of many earlier tamale grottoes, parlors, shops, and stands were, like the street peddlers, a diverse lot. I have found proprietors named Mohamed, Truzzolino, and Stubendorff. Menus could also be diverse and include lobster tails, oysters, or banana cream pie. A Klamath Falls ...
And a new type of eating place came into being, known as the “California coffee shop.” There had been coffee shops before that, but Southern California introduced new features, particularly in terms of design. Triumph at the war’s end was celebrated with ticker-tape parades, but also in...
