It needs more than a couple of star anise and a cinnamon stick. Such drinks allow – some might say beg for – slightly more delicious accompaniments than they get. A fat slice of gravlax on a square of dark rye perhaps, cured with beetroot juice and juniper berries, or perhaps a tiny pastry parcel of mashed pumpkin.

Zhang Haitao, in charge of technology at Guangdong Evergreen Feed Industry Co. Ltd., said that China had sufficient amino acid production capacity, and using low-protein feed formula could reduce the country’s demand for soymeal by 5 to 7 percent, equivalent to about 5 million tonnes of soybeans.

There is the anti-Semitic financial stereotype that has been long attached to the Jewish community.

Texas A&M University has published a 48-page ‘Cottonseed Cookery’ cook book. Recipes include everything from cotton-fried chicken and cottonseed-stuffed fish to burritos, soups, salads, breads and pralines.
