Fresh meat and fish on the table

Crailsheim. For 75 years, supplies the butcher Kranz Altenmünster the Horaffen with tasty meat and meat products. Most of them are from their own production.
Hearty ham, spicy sausage, juicy steaks and other dishes of wild meat, cheese or fish but also takes in three generations, the butcher wreath on the table. The foundation for the successful history put on 1 Georg Kranz December 1935. The grandfather of the present managing director Werner ring true with its own butcher's dream of independence. "At that time, house and property were still at the border. On the other hand, there was only green pastures," says Werner Kranz. "Meanwhile, the Old Cathedral is so fully that we are in the middle."

The current managing partner in the butcher's grown and has already helped a child. Therefore, it was never a big question for him to take a different career. Gladly, he continues the tradition of service. Therefore, the butcher took over in 1997 by his father, head of the family business and made for change and modernization in the butcher shop. So he left with his wife Susanne renovate the shop selling expensive and newly remodeled. Extended to meat and sausage range now joined them, a large food court for warm dishes and cheese and fish counter. Small changes such as gondola in the middle of the goods sales room where food such as pasta or wine are offered followed, then in recent years.

The butcher has about 20 employees, which on little more than 110 square meters of fine cuisine to customers. "About 80 percent of our meat and meat products originate from our own production," says butcher ring proudly. In particular, the numerous dry sausage, and the many different cooking hams are made in-house.

A variety of gourmet salads, specialty cheeses from Europe and fresh and smoked fish are also available. The fish range complements the Food sector, as well as the wide range of local and German cheeses. A special offer is to supply customers with "Pfister organic bread from Munich, which is delivered fresh every Thursday. Nevertheless, Werner Kranz will not be considered as "delicatessen". "There is the Food sector in our house, but we offer it all: the meatloaf sandwiches to exquisite fish," said the butcher.

To satisfy the customers to their complete satisfaction, the butcher holds recipes: it is placed high importance on the technical quality of the products and also to the regionality of animals taken to the product of farmers from the surrounding Hohenlohe. The meat products are produced with modern machinery to house, traditional recipes. This combination of tradition and modern technology makes delicious products of high quality. And the good advice from trained staff will make the right choice from the wide variety. Of these, the daily also convince customers locally. For in the large food court, there are fresh every day at noon, hot meals. Above all, the dish of the day and the wide range of delicacies from the hot bar are popular with today's customers. Therefore, there is a changing lunch menu on weekdays with a hot main course and side dishes, a second court and a large selection of delicacies from the hot counter.

Also takes over the house and the catering service. Whether for family gatherings, birthdays or company parties, receptions and meetings - the butcher prepares to ring for an individual advice, the right food for every occasion. Particularly popular buffet with finger food are. "The trend is toward self-service snacks and even with the hot food. Thus, any self-determine what and how much he wants to eat," says Werner Kranz.

The 75-year anniversary on Wednesday, 1 December can unfortunately not be celebrated extensively, finally, the butcher to do full around Christmas time all hands. For customers, while still a small gift and a glass of champagne or punch ready and waiting for special anniversary offers. With a large courtyard party in the spring then to the omitted party be made up.

game meat is right for modern nutrition

Hannover - deer win as game meats increasingly important.

The current report, the country hunting the hunters have achieved in the deer hunting in 2009 when a new record. Lower long was the line almost 12 700 animals. This is an increase of almost 14 percent last year.

Not from the wild, but certainly from semi-natural attitude is the game that offer some 900 farmers in Lower Saxony, currently, reports the country's press people. In pulling the animals in the winter hay or silage is made available. As a special treat are chestnuts, making farmers for the winter in Salt Lake durable. This natural diet that meat is especially high, while low in fat. It is very nutritious and low in cholesterol and fits so well in a modern diet.

Some 14,500 of the majestic animals with the shovel-like antlers niedersachsen live well into their enclosures. On average, the fences of 4.5 ha in size - a maximum of ten animals per hectare may be held. The enclosures are inspected annually by the Veterinary Office and after the shooting comes from a veterinarian for veterinary meat inspection. Consumers can be absolutely certain, if you enjoy the autumn roast. Also grills can be made of the delicate pieces of meat cook.

The wild-holders have already responded that cuts to the consumer to arrive better than all the deer. They take more and more game in their enclosures, which can more easily be split carcasses. With a share of 80 percent of the deer is still the typical game reserve. Only few cases of black and mouflon is held.

Particularly in the areas around Soltau-Fallingbostel and Nienburg, in which naturally occurring fallow, farmers have specialized in the sika deer. During the breeding season it would otherwise cause traffic hazards if they make wild deer on the way to the exhibits. After all, unlike the larger deer, which occurs mainly in resin and the Lüneburg Heath Solling, it is not bound to specific places rut. Consumers who wish to take their roast or steak you get at the wild deer especially fresh holder found, direct food marketers on the Internet .

Spain checks growing opportunities for avocado production

The Valencian Institute of Agricultural Research IVIA examined in an investigation, which the zones are, in the Valencian best for avocado cultivation. Accordingly, the best production sites are in central, southern and north of the province of Valencia, north of Alicante and south of Castellón.


The cultivated area could reach 21,000 ha. As a negative factor for a successful production were taken into account only areas with low temperatures, as were areas with good suitability for the avocado-growing all the frost-free or nearly frost-free areas studied. In the Land of Valencia are now annually produces about 500 t 125 ha of tropical fruits, and indeed in the regions of Marina Baixa, la Safor, la Ribera and El Camp de Morvedre. The results in terms of quality and profitability fall so far is very positive. As a result of the study can be stated that the avocado growing country in Valencia certainly has potential and could develop into an alternative in comparison with other products. Given this situation, the Valencian regional government has organized several seminars, in which can be purchased on this project interested producers the basics of the production and marketing of avocados. In parallel, a project running for growing without chemical pesticides, which belongs to the research and development program "Proyecto Cero" (Project Zero) of the State Government.

Russia softens ban on processing of frozen poultry

Moscow - In Russia, should the conditions for the poultry meat processing from 1 January 2011, not so much worse, as planned initially.

Thus, a consumer protection service now adopted by the Federal provision, the use of frozen poultry meat only prohibits the production of non-heat-treated foods.

A decision of the Authority in 2008 provided for a total ban on the industrial processing of frozen poultry meat from next year. In terms of children's food was so already beginning 2010. The originally planned tightening of standards would have almost a halt to imports of chicken meat from the U.S. means.

Meat processors appelieren to the Government

In the past week, several major Russian meat processor called on the government to pass up. In a letter to the authorities responsible for agriculture and food industry first deputy prime minister Viktor Zubkov, they pointed out that such restrictions either in the European Union still existed in the United States.

Differences between processors and producers

Then said the chief of the Federal Consumer Protection Service and Office of the Chief sanitary doctor of Russia, Gennady Onishchenko, that the call came from a group of meat processors, who had been dependent on imported raw materials and then torpedo the national policy of safe food supply. According to Onischtschenkos stricter standards would have found support from other major companies in the domestic meat industry, but also of the governors or agricultural departments of several provinces.

ecological food for christmas

Eco-wave under the stars

Prelude to the Cologne Christmas: At the Cathedral, the Christmas market opens with a new concept, eating organic and star-shaped paths. Also on Old Market, Haymarket, Neumarkt and Rudolfplatz begin the Christmas markets.


Mulled wine in a blaze of lights. Yes, is' for today's Christmas already? A little bit, because yesterday the great Cologne Christmas markets are open. On the Roncalliplatz nothing is as before.
The "Christmas sausage" contains a hint of caramel, apple pieces and Christmas spices. On the grill it clings to a variant of lamb, the "Wurst of the Week". Also, a variety of sky and AED has been announced, and thus is already in the sausage stand clear on Roncalliplatz has done quite something.

With the change of operator of the Christmas market, is replaced by a new face at the cathedral. The star is the symbol of the market: The individual pavilions of the 138 suppliers to add this plan. In the center is a 23-meter Nordmann fir (beaten in Bensberg), organizer for Roland Temme "the most beautiful tree that stood here for 15 years." The attraction is to the starry firmament, which radiate from the tree on Christmas stalls tense finish. The 3000 balls of light with 40 LEDs can be programmed Enclosed with the different light effects. Each hour will illuminate the 1,000-square-foot space for a few minutes with changing illumination.

The concert promoter who has managed, among other things BAP (the "Balou"), is with partner Monika Flocke came forth triumphant from a competition. He will host a Christmas market in the next five years. He is particularly proud of the new, simple huts and their airy arrangement. They are formed into groups to assemble on both sides, so little unattractive back views are visible. "This opens new perspectives," promises Temme, and in fact, the tour offers more space, but more for the eyes.

Carvings from the Erzgebirge are found in the party as well as weaving the Maya or the works of young jewelry designer. But the really innovative catering concept is: Almost all vendors have products from organic farming and regional direct marketing in the program. The Rievkoche hail from organic potatoes as fries, and even the peanuts and almonds from the "Knusperwerkstatt" have grown in an environmentally correct environment. "We want to offer a high quality market," says Temme, the food with organic labels is as an important component.

Prices remain in the frame. The back fish from sustainable fisheries (MSC-Siegel) costs 4.90 €. For a bowl of organic kale, but customers have to shell out 5.80 euros. With the addition of sausage are already a 9,60 Euro. "Organic is just expensive," says Marcel Letz by Kirby-catering. You have to see if people are willing to pay that, or whether it is "particularly hot and hearty" must be. The suppliers had to document the chain of origin for products from outside Europe to prove fair trade was compulsory.

The mulled wine, the mother of all Christmas drinks market, provides an Ahr Winzer, who also swears to organic production. Costs 2.50 euros, the hot beverage. The "shot" is one euro more. But at least here is less to pay attention to the origin than the effect.

Fear of food crisis

Poor harvests and export markets, and governments stop worry

Environmental disasters in several countries threaten the cereal crops. Agricultural products are dramatically more expensive - and scarce?

Frankfurt. It is uncanny: Commodity prices are rising dramatically - even though the economy is not yet in full swing. The commodity index (excluding energy) of the Hamburg Institute of International Economics (HWWA) has already exceeded its expected in € highs of summer 2008.

The scene evokes memories of the spring of 2008: Then, too, were oil, metals and agricultural raw materials have become extremely expensive, particularly, in countries such as Mexico, Bangladesh and Haiti, it came to food riots. Even now, in certain states again the fear from political turmoil.

World Bank warns

On the agricultural market, the situation is after the sanctions imposed by Russia last week, grain export ban particularly critical. The World Bank has warned major wheat exporters about to impose export bans. Otherwise it could lead to a new food crisis, "said World Bank Director Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala. The severe drought in several regions could induce countries to follow Russia's example and restrict exports. The World Food Programme (WFP) already a dangerous price spiral.

Cause for concern about a food crisis, as it had been in 2008, are dramatic crop failures in several major producing countries. In particular, Russia, the world's third largest producer Wheat because of drought and forest fires, a crop-drop expected by 20 percent. Consequently, Prime Minister Vladimir Putin announced a ban on exports of wheat, which could take at least until the end of the year.

Ukraine and Kazakhstan, another major wheat exporters are also affected by the drought and fearing a similar large declines of their crops. Also in Western Australia threatens the continuing drought, the local wheat production. However, some countries are facing the opposite problem. So threatening floods in Pakistan, India and China as well as unusually high rainfall and humidity in Canada's wheat production in other major producing countries.

As a result of harvest-related problems, the price of wheat has doubled in a month. The World Bank is so concerned that it announced to reactivate in the case of a growing shortage of wheat a food fund.

The Fund was created in 2008 to assist developing countries in purchasing and production of food. Currently, 615 million are the equivalent of € in the Fund.

Countries hoard food

Although see commodity analysts at Bank still no dramatic crisis, "said World Bank Director Okonjo-Iweala, but warned," can understand Though, why introduce governments have a policy that is good for their own countries, are practices such as export bans not always the best way. It affects the market and lead to countries hoard their food. "

Food industry threatened by loss of brands

A study provides increased power of trade against producers. Therefore, the diversity in the supermarket shelves is in danger.


In the German food industry threatens a loss of brands. "Provides a significant number of companies threatened the existence", said Christian Köhler, the managing director of brand association, told WORLD ONLINE. As a basic call Köhler in particular the increasing buying power of trade to the industry caused by the increasing importance of merchant-private brands and the consolidation of the retail landscape in recent years.

The brand association now provides the variety on supermarket shelves in acute danger. "There is a concentration threatens to standard products," predicted Köhler. That would above all to the detriment of medium-sized manufacturers. This is confirmed by a recent study by the econ consulting firm DIW, a subsidiary of the German Institute for Economic Research (DIW). Accordingly, the negotiating position of producers in recent years has deteriorated significantly. "There is a relatively high dependence on a few retailers," the authors write. The man replies, two thirds of the surveyed medium-brand manufacturers more than 22 percent of their turnover with only one customer. This number is valid in the European competition practice as a critical threshold. One-third achieved even with two customers each with more than 22 percent of the proceeds.

Butter 40 percent more expensive

Inflation increases significantly

Cheated: the cost of living in Germany in July to reach a value that was modified in November 2008 higher. In particular, gasoline and various foods provide the surge.

Since the Butterflood is a pleasure when the price of animal fat spread increases.

The prices for goods and services in Germany to rise again a little faster. The cost of living were higher by 1.2 percent in July than a year since they were expensive especially heating oil, gasoline and many food, said the Federal Statistical Office for final calculations. A higher inflation rate, it was modified in November 2008 with 1.4 percent. In June, she was still at 0.9 percent.
Despite the rise there as defined by the European Central Bank price stability that it provides guarantees of up to values just below two percent. From June to July, consumer prices moved by 0.3 percent.

Inflation eats wage increase
However, sufficient price increases to a large part of wage increases again to consume. The collectively agreed monthly earnings increased in the spring, at 1.9 percent as weak than it has been two and a half years. With the current inflation rate would remain only one of real wage growth remains 0.7 percent. Due to reduced working hours, the elimination of special payments and the abandonment of collective agreements benefit not all employees in full by the agreed wage increases. "The consumer is therefore in this year as growth driver," said an analyst at Sal Oppenheim, Katrin Löhken. While the exporters in the first half came on a turnover increase of 18 percent, the retailer reported an increase of only 0.5 percent.

Hard butter prices

 Despite the strong growth and the sharp fall in unemployment, the experts at Sal Oppenheim expect that consumers this year will be 1.0 percent less to spend on consumption. "This decline is not quite caught up in 2011," said Löhken. Then the expected consumer spending to rise by about 0.8 percent have deeper reach into the pockets of consumers, especially for petroleum products. Light heating oil cost 26.5 percent more than in 2009, 11.2 percent more diesel and gasoline. Electricity prices, by 3.0 percent. In contrast, gas discounted by 5.4 percent and charges for central and district heating by 9.0 percent.

Many seasonal foods were expensive, however. "Are striking strong price increases observed especially for fresh vegetables and fruit," it said. Vegetables cost 8.9 percent and 7.7 percent more fruit. For fish and fish products were on average 3.3 percent more calls. Butter is more expensive, with 40.1 percent stronger. Sweets were against having more favorable to 1.4 percent, bread and other grain products cost 0.5 percent less.

Time-Independent Flow in food processing

As the name suggests, this type of flow behavior is not affected by the length of time that the fluid has been flowing or being moved. We say it is unaffected by the duration of the shear which it experiences. This type of flow is the best documented, and some simple models of predicting flow exist to which we will later refer.
In this group we have Newtonian flow with which we are familiar, shear-thinning, shear-thickening, and viscoplastic flow. Please note once again that these non-Newtonian types of flow may be exhibited by fluids that will indeed also behave as Newtonian liquids over a
particular range of shear rates.
Shear-thinning liquids in general become more fluid, less viscous, as the shear rate on them increases. Typical examples of such fluids are: shower gel, hair conditioner, fabric conditioner, liquid abrasive cleaner, fabric washing liquid, printing ink, facial wash, flocculated clay slurries, 1 percent aqueous solutions of food thickeners (such as guar gum, locust bean gum, carrageenan, xanthan gum, alginate), most paints, many 1 to 2 percent aqueous polymer solutions, and some hydrocarbon crude oils.
In particular, with fluids such as flocculated clay slurries, which may have very high apparent viscosity at low shear rates, the fact that they are shear thinning enables us to pump them and convey them relatively easily by pipeline because of the high rates of shear applied by the fast spinning impeller of a centrifugal pump and the shear that they experience at the pipe wall (and another phenomena known as
wall slip that also reduces the viscosity at the pipe wall). Shear-thickening liquids are liquids whose apparent viscosity increases with increased shear rate. The old name for this is "dilatant" because the fluid appears to swell as it is sheared. The best way I can describe this is to ask you to think of a bucket of sand and water with about an inch of water above the settled sand. (Think back to your childhood visits to the seaside or sand pit.) Suppose you now rock the bucket from side to side; the sand and water mix together to form a rather unstable suspension. However, if you take a stick and try to stir the contents of the bucket with any appreciable amount of force it is virtually impossible. The suspension actually begins to look like a fractured solid. This is an extreme example of shear thickening. The voidage between the sand particles and the amount of water present
when the mixture behaves like a suspension is just enough to allow the mixture to flow at very low shear rates and let the particles move past each other. At high shear rates, the mixture expands, there is not.

Aging is a process that relaxes the tissues, making the beef easier to chew and enjoy.
The original process of aging, now called dry-aging, demanded that a carcass hang in a cooler for 3 weeks or more. The surface would dry out and be thrown away. The remaining beef made excellent but expensive steaks. This process is now reserved for steaks bound for only the best steakhouses.
Less fatty cuts are preferred from a nutritional standpoint. However, they are less tender than those with fat marbled through the muscle fibers. “Choice” and “select” grades have less fat and marbling and can be tougher than the “prime” grade unless they are prepared to maximize tenderness.

illness. In recent years, Escherichia coli (E. coli), a potentially deadly bacterium that can cause severe, bloody diarrhea, has become a concern with red meat, particularly ground beef.
Fortunately, proper cooking kills all microorganisms in meat. Preventing meat from contaminating other foods before cooking is important. Good meat-handling practices include thawing meat in the refrigerator, making sure juices from raw meat do not get on other food, and disinfecting cooking and preparation surfaces after handling raw meat. For more information about cooking meat and other protein foods properly, see Chapter 5, Cooking It Safe, page 149, and Food Safety, page 148.

With every desire to fulfill the rabbinical precept and acknowledge the sources of this booklet, I find myself in a quandary. If I make my acknowledgments duly I must begin with my grandmother and Culpeper's Herbal. Following upon those come the results of my own and friends' practical experience. After this I should, perhaps, give a list of the periodicals from whose pages I have culled much helpful information.
