I'll be helping my partner, Beau, to do a #pikwun, or “fish sticks” in Hulq’umi’num, traditional #CoastSalish #salmon cookout for the #Gabriola Museum, in June.

The feast at last night's Black-dandy-themed Met Gala was cooked by James Beard Award-winning chef Kwame Onwuachi. @Eater has the details on what he served, which had to be free of garlic, onions and chives, thanks to Anna Wintour's preferences. At the second link, find @BBCNews's breakdown of the best looks.

In the highlands of Peru, cuy al horno (roast guinea pig) is more than a meal it's a cultural tradition. Served during festivals and family gatherings, this dish reflects centuries of Andean heritage. Crispy on the outside, tender inside, it’s a must-try for those seeking an authentic culinary experience.

Unique, some would call it. And they would be right. 'Historic' would be another word to describe Harry's Cafe de Wheels.
If you have never eaten at what is a culinary and cultural landmark in the city, your dining experience is surely deficient.

Today is the 50th anniversary of the end of the Vietnam War. For @foodandwine, Doan Nguyen writes about how her parents escaped Vietnam in a fishing boat with nothing. They eventually made their home in Kinston, North Carolina, where Nguyen was born. Through her childhood, she mourned the family heirlooms and hand-me-downs she would never have, but as she grew up, changed her perspective. "I find it amazing that so many displaced people — especially my parents — took giant risks to better their lives and, in doing so, changed the landscape of food in America," she writes. "Their courage and the kindness of the people who fed us along the way are heirlooms I will always carry with me."

One of Peru’s most iconic traditional dishes is cuy al horno roasted guinea pig.
This ancient delicacy dates back to Inca times and is still celebrated today, especially in the Andean highlands.
Cuy al horno is seasoned with local herbs, slow-roasted until crispy, and served with potatoes and spicy sauces.

We thought we had a pretty good method for consuming cheese (put in mouth, chew and swallow), but @SeriousEats has some further information. Here's their guide to cheese-eating, from planning what to serve to using up leftovers. Plus, how can you tell if your cheese has gone bad? “Surface mold can be scraped or cut off revealing a happy cheese underneath," says Julia Hallman, owner of Formaggio Kitchen, Massachusetts. "Once you trim your cheese, give it a taste! If it is still pleasing, then it is still good.” Tell us in the comments if you have a great cheese serving tip (we would never cut off the brie's nose!), or a particular favorite to recommend.

What does a galaxy taste like? That's the sort of question a flavorist might be asked. Atlas Obscura spoke to Illinois chemist John Heller about how he got into this profession (it was this or an oil rig in the Gulf of Mexico), the kind of skills required, and how he might design a "unicorn" flavor.
Mostly you expect food items to be named something delicious-sounding — and not something that your kids would come up with if they were playing a game about a swamp. So what's with the new chocolate bar, the Hormbles Chormbles? Jaya Saxena of @Eater attempts to understand this product intended to "disrupt the candy industry." Just for fun and because we're nosy, tell us in the comments what you think a Hormbles Chormbles sounds like it would be.

What are the most memorable movie food scenes of all time? McKinley Franklin from @THR gives their take. Tell us in the comments what you think (we're feeling salty, pardon the pun, that there's not a mention of Studio Ghibli or "Big Night" in there).
Last of all, Atlas Obscura’s story about a giant almond that’s driving its way around America, and the uniquely American habit of making massive food vehicles, which @CultureDesk shared earlier this week. They wanted to know if any other countries had Poutine Mobiles, Camembert Camions or Kartoffelwagens. “Keep your wiener and almonds to yourselves,” wrote one commenter.

Is it a uniquely American cultural peculiarity to promote your food brand by driving a giant version of a sausage or spud around the country? Atlas Obscura looks at how Blue Diamond's Nutty Cruiser (a 20-foot-long almond on wheels with a nut-shooting cannon on its front) is joining the Oscar Mayer Wienermobile and the Big Idaho Potato Truck on the road. “It is a very smooth ride,” says marketer Ralph Failla. “[The drivers] said it feels like driving on air.” Tell us in the comments if your country has a Poutine Machine or Camembert Camion (or make up your own version for our collective entertainment).

I love dining solo.
“Do you not have any friends to go with?” is not a very friendly or kind thing to ask. But I have to admit, these kinds of comments towards solo-leisure, like dining, leisure, travel, etc is often directed at women - not men.
The world is my oyster to explore, taste and enjoy. But women… no, women have to be accompanied, apparently…:
