Food For ThoughtDear Reader
Summer Volume: 2019 Issue: 26(2) page(s): 4
This second issue of our 26th year is the one hundred and first issue
published. Most articles are on this magazine’s web site, but not the ‘Dear
Reader’ columns, We do not recall how this omission began, but know it did
continue with these pages omitted from our web site. Our only thought is
that they discuss the particular issue contents and probably were deemed
unimportant then. To be consistent, we continue this practice with no hue
or cry to do otherwise. This issue includes an article about the other main Chinese staple food. We
did rice, this one discusses wheat and other flour foods, also gluten which
is not always labeled as an ingredient even if is added to the product. It
also has an article about Jews in China, one about Chengdu as the Capital
of the Sichuan Province, and other popular foods and places. Included
are Tibetan Villages, Soy: Beans, Sauces, Pastes, and (Soy) Sprouts, and
doufu where one learns that not all are coagulated from ground soy beans.
Enjoy them all and look forward to others which will follow ones about
Dongbei which is in the Northeastern corner of China, the Dai minority
population and their delicacies, the Yuan or Mongol Dynasty that ruled
from 1279 CE, vegetables--- past and present, popular Chinese herbals and
their medicinal uses, early sailors in the US on its East coast, and many
more. The Editor, Jacqueline Newman |
