At present, China is promoting the application of low-protein feed technology in raising pigs and chickens.

Commercial interest in sunflowers as an oil crop was slow to develop across most of Europe and North America. In contrast, Russians were using sunflowers as an oil crop by the late 18th century, perhaps because the Russian Orthodox Church did not prohibit the oil’s use during Lent. By the end of the 19th century, Russians had selected highly productive oil and confectionery varieties, which were re-imported to North America in the baggage of Russian immigrants.

A simple plate of pickled egg and vegetables ($8) is bracingly briny/sweet, though we could have done with more than a quarter of an egg.

On Sunday afternoon viewers were treated to an unusual sight — a giant pumpkin seed harvest. At 1pm sharp, Geddes zipped himself into a white hazmat-like suit, stuck a flashlight between his teeth, and shimmied into the belly of the pumpkin to gather the squash’s precious seeds. At one point he called in backup, and a second man zipped up and joined him in the hollowed-out pumpkin.

If you’ve met Mawa—an Ivory Coast spitfire in Aspen by way of Paris—you know that she doesn’t do anything meekly. The crepe variations we sampled at a media preview during the grand opening followed accordingly: red-wine-braised short ribs with hunks of foie gras; smoked salmon, caviar and dill cream; and the "Colorado Burger" with a full-sized bison patty, caramelized onions, cheese and horseradish cream.
