Italian food arrived in Australia when Italians arrived in Australia in the early 1900s, although initially their food was regarded with deep suspicion by Anglo-Celtic immigrants, who didn't regard themselves as immigrants, and who regarded squid as fishing bait. It wasn't until the seventies that Italian restaurants began to appear, as opposed to Italian cafes. which turned up in the sixties, though weren't patronized by Australians. Delicatessens came later. I recall in the seventies walking into a deli and asking for pasta. The assistant stared at me and pointed me towards a display of tinned spaghetti. Don't you want spaghetti? she demanded. No, I want fresh linguini and some bottles of passata, I said. She stared at me as though I was a possible terrorist. Oh, dear.

As soon as man found that he could produce fire by friction, as the result of rapidly rubbing two sticks together, he began to have accidents with his fires, just as we do today.

Where did lo mein come from?

Chow mein literally means "fried noodles." Food historians agree on two points:

  1. Noodles have been known to Chinese cooks since ancient times.
  2. No one knows exactly who made the first chow mein and when.

Historians also agree chow mein most likely migrated to America with Chinese immigrants in the mid-19th century. Yes, this food (and many others) has endured several changes over the years...from indigenious cooks to Americanized restaurant selections to canned versions and frozen entrees.

"Chow mein is related to and takes its name from "chao mian," a Chinese dish consisting of previously boiled noodles stirfried with meat and vegetables. There is, however, an important difference. In chow mein the noodles are deep fried in bundles, which are crisp and brittle when they emerge; whereas in the Chinese dish the noodles are soft."

What is Guacamole?

According to prehispanic history, Lord Quetzalcoatl gave the recipe of ahuacamolli to the Toltec people (900-1100 AD) and from there, it spread to the rest of Mesoamerica, becoming a common dish to cultures such as Aztec or Maya.

The original guacamole recipe consists of mashed avocados, some minced onion and salt. It has evolved to mashed avocado with onions, chili peppers, olive oil, and other seasonings. It is used as a side dish for dipping with chips, or as a dressing on tacos.

If you don't add too much salt, it should be a healthy food, as avocado and onion together help lowering your bad cholesterol levels, and combined they have some anti-bacterial properties.

And it's good in my opinion!

However, you MUST NOT give any guacamole to your pets, specially cats, dogs [1], cattle, goats, rabbits, rats, birds, fish, and horses, as avocados are deadly toxic to them.
