Papua continues to be imagined primarily as a strategic zone for national ambition, rather than as a homeland shaped by Indigenous relationships to land and food. â Laurens Minipko

#Foodways
Meet "Cinchweed", my current favorite Mojave desert wildflower. It's beautiful, but even better, it's delicious! It has a lemony, cumin taste with a little spicy kick behind it. I've been snipping a few flowers here and there and adding them to meals here at the ranch.
Shifting our diets to include more native plants requires a little research, but is a great way to diversify our diets and begin to shift towards more sustainable ways of living.
Do you have a favorite uncommon edible native from your home?

Chelsea Klinke and Gertrude Korkor Samar share the food studies scholars that have influenced them:
"The ways in which we have come to know, be, and connect has been influenced by three major scholars who have written extensively in the food studies circles . . . "

IFA remains one of my favorite cooking shows
BERLIN
One of IFAâs enduring, endearing aspects has been how it takes place in a city with a rail transit network so extensive that I donât have to think about trafficâan unthinkable notion at CES in car-clogged Las Vegas. Another is how itâs the only trade show I cover where I can legitimately say I head to the exhibits for the food.
As I discovered on my first visit here in 2012, IFAâs combination of an exhibitor base heavy on appliance manufacturers with ticket sales to the general public motivates exhibitors to demonstrate how their products make tasty food possible by preparing some on the show floor and then handing out free samples.
The more prominent companies exhibiting here make a production out of it, hiring chefs and setting up cameras around their cooking stations so attendees can hear the cooks explain the recipes (usually in German that, in my experience, Google Translate struggles with a bit) and watch as the magic happens.
Iâve yet to get a bad snack this way, even if Iâve had to burn some calories standing around and waiting for a sample to come my way.
(I might get a plate faster with sharper elbows, but the reputation of the U.S. in Europe is bad enough already without me shoving aside a local who paid âŹ25 for their ticket.)
This week, for example, Iâve returned to the Electrolux brand AEGâs exhibit multiple times for slices of pizza baked in a âPizzaExpertâ oven that heats a cast-iron plate to about 640 degrees, allowing it to finish a pie in two and a half minutes with a crisp crust and puffy dough around the edges.
Iâve also hit up the Miele and Bosch exhibits, both of which have the equivalent of small stages set up for their hired chefs, for fancier fare. The former provided the high point of my walking-around lunch Friday with a plate of a cut of grilled flank steak, drizzled with a green herb sauce and served atop a dollop of polenta.
It can be inefficient to put together a meal one small plate at a time, but thatâs a fundamental part of Washingtonian foodwaysâwhere âdinnerâ in the nationâs capital often means ethics-compliant hors dâoeuvres. So I donât have a problem doing the same sort of thing in this other national capital.
And seeing all of these culinary demos also reminds me of how much I love to cook, and how Iâll look forward to picking up a spatula or a set of tongs back in my own kitchen. Where I now feel compelled to make pizza from scratch, even if the hardware I use there will take a little longer than 2.5 minutes for a pie.
