What traditional salad was originally prepared with caviar, hazel grouse and crayfish?

The original recipe for Olivier salad, invented in the 19th century by the French chef Lucien Olivier who lived in Moscow, has been lost. In 1904, the salad recipe was roughly reproduced: 2 hazel grouse, veal tongue, a quarter pound of pressed caviar, half a pound of fresh lettuce, 25 pieces of boiled crayfish, half a can of pickles, half a can of soy kabul, two fresh cucumbers, a quarter of a pound of capers, 5 hard-boiled eggs.

Random interesting fact from the Great Encyclopedia:

What is the difference between edible mushrooms and grebes?

The answer is that there is no difference between them! Scientifically speaking, there is no such thing as "toadstool". Many people call poisonous mushrooms grebes. Botanists do not use this term at all, and for them there is no difference between an edible mushroom and what we call grebes.

There are many ideas about mushrooms, but they are completely wrong. There are very few types of mushrooms that are poisonous. But they are really deadly. Therefore, no one should eat or even taste mushrooms until he is sure that they are not poisonous. But people do not always correctly determine the toxicity of mushrooms. For example, it is not true that all umbrella-shaped mushrooms are poisonous.

It is also not true that mushrooms are poisonous if, when they are boiled, a silver spoon darkens with which they are interfered with. Poisonous mushrooms contain such a strong poison that eating them means certain death. There is a story that Emperor Nero once poisoned a whole group of guests by treating them to poisonous mushrooms. The best way to avoid this is to eat store-bought mushrooms.

Mushrooms are in the same family as molds. Like all plants belonging to this group, they lack the green substance, chlorophyll, without which the plant cannot produce food for itself. They grow next to some other plant that has chlorophyll and are completely dependent on it. Mushrooms are very delicate plants. They are made up mostly of water, so most of them can't stand dry winds or the hot summer sun.

Machine for thinning flowers in gardens 02.05.2024

In modern agriculture, technological progress is developing aimed at increasing the efficiency of plant care processes. The innovative Florix flower thinning machine was presented in Italy, designed to optimize the harvesting stage. This tool is equipped with mobile arms, allowing it to be easily adapted to the needs of the garden. The operator can adjust the speed of the thin wires by controlling them from the tractor cab using a joystick. This approach significantly increases the efficiency of the flower thinning process, providing the possibility of individual adjustment to the specific conditions of the garden, as well as the variety and type of fruit grown in it. After testing the Florix machine for two years on various types of fruit, the results were very encouraging. Farmers such as Filiberto Montanari, who has used a Florix machine for several years, have reported a significant reduction in the time and labor required to thin flowers. ... >>

Advanced Infrared Microscope 02.05.2024

Microscopes play an important role in scientific research, allowing scientists to delve into structures and processes invisible to the eye. However, various microscopy methods have their limitations, and among them was the limitation of resolution when using the infrared range. But the latest achievements of Japanese researchers from the University of Tokyo open up new prospects for studying the microworld. Scientists from the University of Tokyo have unveiled a new microscope that will revolutionize the capabilities of infrared microscopy. This advanced instrument allows you to see the internal structures of living bacteria with amazing clarity on the nanometer scale. Typically, mid-infrared microscopes are limited by low resolution, but the latest development from Japanese researchers overcomes these limitations. According to scientists, the developed microscope allows creating images with a resolution of up to 120 nanometers, which is 30 times higher than the resolution of traditional microscopes. ... >>

Air trap for insects 01.05.2024

Agriculture is one of the key sectors of the economy, and pest control is an integral part of this process. A team of scientists from the Indian Council of Agricultural Research-Central Potato Research Institute (ICAR-CPRI), Shimla, has come up with an innovative solution to this problem - a wind-powered insect air trap. This device addresses the shortcomings of traditional pest control methods by providing real-time insect population data. The trap is powered entirely by wind energy, making it an environmentally friendly solution that requires no power. Its unique design allows monitoring of both harmful and beneficial insects, providing a complete overview of the population in any agricultural area. “By assessing target pests at the right time, we can take necessary measures to control both pests and diseases,” says Kapil ... >>

Bacteria that eats plastic 19.03.2016

Japanese scientists have made a discovery proving that nature is learning to resist the harm that humans do to it. The answer to plastic waste pollution has been the emergence of bacteria that feed on them.

A new species of gram-negative bacteria, called Ideonella sakaiensis 201-F6, was discovered during the study of microorganisms living in the ocean. Among many different species, scientists have found a colony of bacteria that use polyethylene terephthalate (PET) in carbon and energy exchanges. This artificial substance is mainly used for the manufacture of plastic containers.

It turned out that Ideonella sakaiensis 201-F6 secrete two enzymes that decompose PET to terephthalic acid and ethylene glycol, and they are environmentally friendly. Similar properties were also previously discovered in a small group of fungi and zooplankton, but science is not yet able to adapt for large-scale processing of industrial waste.

The appearance of Ideonella sakaiensis 201-F6 is directly related to the increase in the volume of plastic on the planet: enzymes that decompose PET are a relatively new genetic modification of bacteria of the genus Ideonella. This, in turn, shows how nature begins to rebuff the aggressive intrusion of man.

In addition, Ideonella sakaiensis 201-F6 can be easily used in the field of industrial waste processing: they are not only "gluttonous", but also perfectly adapt to any environmental conditions, that is, it is enough just to place a colony of these bacteria in places where products from polyethylene terephthalate - and over time it will be decomposed into environmentally friendly components.
