Sometimes all you have in your cupboard is some peanut butter and cheap cheese. That's when you have to make do and get creative. I always had the tire-rubber cheese singles. They weren't even the name brand. They were a cheaper off-brand. When you pulled the plastic off, it would rip and you'd end up leaving some of the plastic on the cheese single. Those were the days. I'm sure that cheese wasn't what was meant to be used for this combination.
I could see a nice Spanish manchego pairing well with a Jiffy extra creamy. Look at me sounding all fancy. All you have to do to sound fancy is reference a type of cheese that no one normally references. Put a nationality on it to sound even fancier. A portuguese valdeon. A German winnimere. See?
Over the years, weve seen so many food trends come and go, such as ramen burgers, matcha, and spiked ice-cream. Nowadays, were seeing another trend making waves in the food industry. How many times today have you seen an Instagram photo of a scoop of black ice cream, or a cup of black yogurt, or hamburgers with black buns? Indeed, the charcoal trend has taken the world by storm.
So, what gives your latte that deep black shade? Activated charcoal, or coconut ash, is produced by heating coconut shells to insanely high temperatures until theyre burnt to a crisp. The ashes are then increased in size by steaming at high temperatures. Through this process, the ashes become a strong detoxifier, mostly because they become extra absorbent. This product may be purchased in pill form, and promises to alleviate hangovers, minimize the effects of food poisoning, and fight the visible signs of aging.
Activated charcoal is said to boost ones energy as a result of decreasing toxins in the body. However, no evidence proves that detoxifying can lead to increased energy. Also, while it can help cure a hangover, it doesnt necessarily remove alcohol from your blood. It is also said to aid in debloating your stomach because it cleanses your colon but again, this all anecdotal and isnt supported by scientific evidence as of yet. All we can say for sure is that it is a proven detoxifier.
