Image
Sandwiches can be termed as a blessing for every generation, especially the current one. The millennials   are always looking for foods on the go, they do not have time to cook elaborately in the kitchen and that’s why sandwiches are a great option. All you need is some bread, vegetables  and butter/cheese or some other kind of spread  to put together this humble snack. Well, maybe that’s why Americans eat 300 sandwiches a day (maybe)! But, have you ever wondered how  this popular food come into existence? Here’ how:   Sandwich came into the picture in 1972 in England, by John Montagu, so obsessed with the gambling habits that he didn’t even stop for a meal. He asked the cook to bring him roasted meat between two slices of bread, so he could continue with his game while he ate his meal and that is exactly when this invention came to existence!   The Earl played non-stop for 24 hours and only ate ‘sandwiches’ in between.

The Best Of Oats!

Image
Oats haven’t been a favourite with many in the past, but with its health benefits coming to light, people are now realising its worth and adding it as an important ingredient in their diets. Because oats can be grown even on the weakest soil, it was first grown as livestock feed. Later, around the 2000 BC, people in Poland and Scandinavia observed oats to be growing better there than wheat. The initial use of oats, except for serving the purposes of feeding animals was to make ale or beer. People used to sometimes ground oats into a flour and use it to make bread. The rest of the times, it was boiled with water and made into a thick soup. The humble ‘oats’ have come a long way since then. As it has got a delicate and bland taste, it can take up flavours really well. To find a grain that can absorb many flavours is otherwise difficult. Plus, the fibrous nature makes it very healthy for the body. It easy to digest as well and can be stored for long in dry and cool cond...

The little crisp tortilla chips loaded with generous amount of melted cheese and jalapenos are something to die for. Oh yes, these are triangles of happiness! The Tex-Mex treat, that has now gained fame all over the world. Some like their share of nachos with just melted cheese or with salsa, guacamole and sour cream or  maybe just like a sole snack to munch on.   The best part of this dish is that it can serve as an appetizer, snack or some versions of it can also serve as a great main dish. Some historic evidence… The term nacho has 2 meanings, one is the slang used by the people in Texas and Mexico, and the other is a long story. While there is no specific explanation as to how this tiny little treat was created. But, there is quite an interesting tale which is worth knowing. In the 1940s, an incident took plac...
