Courgettes.

Moje ulubione warzywo to cukinia. W brytyjskim angielskim cukinia to z francuskiego  COURGETTE /kɔːˈʒɛt/ ,  a w amerykańskim to z włoskiego  ZUCCHINI  /zuːˈkiːniː/. Na podobnego do cukini kabaczka Brytyjczycy mówią MARROW ( słowo to oznacza także szpik kostny), a Amerykanie SQUASH ( także nazwa gry, ścisk, tłok, ściskać).

Pineapple and superbugs.

Odporne na wszelkie antybiotyki bakterie mogą zabić miliony ludzi. Jest jednak szansa, że pokonamy je przy pomocy ananasów.

The tropical taste of pineapple has long added an exotic touch to cocktails and puddings.

But now scientists believe enzymes found in the stems and roots of the fruit could help in the war against drug-resistant superbugs.

With antibiotic-resistant bugs predicted to kill up to 10 million people a year by 2050, the hunt for new forms of killing the bacteria is a grave challenge to the scientific community.

Now Australian scientists have found that enzymes found in pineapples can cure diarrhoea in piglets.

Morel mushrooms.

Te piękne, wiosenne grzyby wyrosły niespodziewanie koło mojego domu.
 To smardze, grzyby jadalne, choć jeszcze tego nie sprawdziłam i na razie nie zamierzam. 
Ich angielska nazwa to przykład tak zwanych "false friends", czyli słów, które mają podobne brzmienie w obcym języku, jednak odmienne znaczenie. 
Smardz to po angielsku morel, a morela to apricot.

DaDong Duck Burger.

Tego jeszcze nie było, ale już jest! A co takiego? - Kaczy burger. Szykujcie się na inwazję kaczki pekińskiej.

While McDonald's and KFC continue to introduce Chinese-style burgers to appeal to local tastes, high-end Peking duck restaurant DaDong has opened is own fast food joint in Beijing.

DaDong Duck Burger's star attraction is, of course, the duck burger.

6 NEGATIVE-CALORIE FOODS TO HELP YOU LOSE WEIGHT

Temat w sam raz na okres poswiąteczny, kiedy mamy wyrzuty sumienia z powodu obżarstwa. Na liście znajdziecie między innymi grzyby, seler naciowy, paprykę  i inne.
Anyone who has ever been on a diet knows that the basic formula for weight loss is simple: to burn more calories than you eat. According to Dr. Donald Hensrud from the Mayo Clinic online, it is “theoretically possible” for some foods to be called “negative calorie” because there are, indeed, certain foods with a caloric content low enough to be fully burned during exercise. So the next time you feel hungry at night and you crave for that chocolate vanilla ice-cream in the refrigerator, stay away from your craving and eat one of these negative calories snacks or foods. They are extremely healthy and they will be your best friend for your weight loss. Here are six foods with very low calories that can help you kickstart a healthier lifestyle. As we always advise, before entering any diet or exercise program, you should consult your primary health care provider.

Could rhubarb crumble help fight cancer?

Nowe lekarstwo na raka - rabarbar. Nawet jesli nie pomoże, to pewnie nie zaszkodzi.

A rhubarb-based drug could make cancer crumble.

Research has shown that an orange-coloured chemical in the autumn vegetable has powerful anti-cancer properties.

Parietin, which is also found in lichen, can zap cells in leukaemia, as well as lung and head and neck tumours.

However, healthy cells are untouched.

This is important because many of the debilitating side-effects of chemotherapy, from nausea to hair loss, are caused by healthy cells suffering collateral damage.

Teachers can confiscate and KEEP pupils' unhealthy food

W naszym kraju nieśmiało zapowiada się walkę ze śmieciowym jedzeniem, która ma polegać na zakazie sprzedaży niezdrowej żywności na terenie szkoły. Wielka Brytania inaczej sobie z tym problemem poczyna. Nauczyciele mają prawo kontrolować przynoszone do szkoły jedzenie a nawet odbierać je uczniom.
Teachers can confiscate and KEEP pupils' unhealthy food under government rules for lunchbox inspections

• Ministers say schools can 'confiscate, keep or destroy' items from children
• Suggest having two teachers and the pupil present for lunchbox searches
• Schools told to 'seek legal advice' if worried about their food policy
• Follows rows over scotch eggs, Peperamis and cereal bars being taken

Teachers are free to take - and keep - any item from pupils' lunchboxes if they think they are unhealthy or inappropriate, the government has said.

Parents were outraged last month when it emerged children had scotch eggs and a Peperami confiscated under health eating policies.

Now ministers have backed the move, giving staff freedom to 'confiscate, keep or destroy' anything deemed to break school policies and setting out the procedure for carrying out lunchbox inspections

Doughnuts with THREE holes

Tego jeszcze nie było! Doughnut czyli angielski pączek z trzema dziurkami!
How many holes does a doughnut have? If you said one, you've got a surprise coming your way.
First came the Cronut - a hybrid croissant and doughnut - now British bakers have created the Trinut, a three hole doughnut.
Looking for all the world like a flattened bowling ball, the invention is said to be easier to eat as it sits snugly across three fingers.
The unique treat has been made after doughnut lovers complained the traditional ring and filled versions kept falling out of their hands.
Resembling a flattened bowling ball, the sweet snacks are being trialled in London during National Doughnut Week which ends today.

Eating fruit could make you MORE hungry

Owoce to samo zdrowie, ale naukowcy stwierdzili, że jedzenie owoców pobudza apetyt. 

It is a message ingrained in all our minds - our diet should five portions of fruit and veg a day, at the very least.

The gold standard is considered vital in helping to maintain a healthy lifestyle, while snacking on fruit is typically the habit of those trying to shift the pounds.

But a new study has revealed the advice might need to come with a word of warning - to steer clear of the sugar, fructose.

Scientists at the University of Southern California have suggested the sugar in fruit, honey and some fizzy drinks leaves people feeling more hungry, and triggers cravings for more tasty foods.
