essentials. Bread was a special
Treat. They fried their bread.

popular in Spain, Latin America, and the USA. The
typical flavoring of churros is cinnamon. Churros are
also often served sprinkled with sugar

traditionally made of yeasted wheat
dough in the form of a roughly
hand-sized ring which is boiled in

bagel. Montreal bagel is smaller
chewier, and sweeter. And New
York bagel is puffy with a noticeable
crust.

was popularized in 1942 at the Texas State

"cozy dog" because the product was a "hot
dog wrapped in a cozy.“

How to make a cup of soybean milk ?
Soybean, especially in the form of milk,
is highly beneficial in the treatment of
several ailments. This milk is prepared
by soaking the beans in water for about
12 hours. The skin of the beans is then
removed and after a thorough wash,
they are turned into fine paste in a
grinding machine. The paste is mixed
with water, three times its quantity. The
milk should then be boiled on a slow fire,
stirring it frequently. After it becomes a
little cooler, it should be strained
through a piece of thin cloth and sugar
be added to it.
The Advantage of Soybean Milk
Soybean milk is a healthy alternative to
cow's milk. Soybeans are composed of
proteins, carbohydrates, fats, fiber, and a
powerful array of phytonutrients, and have
been known to help reduce blood
cholesterol, thereby promoting
cardiovascular wellness. Also good for
those who are lactose intolerant. Besides,
it is at par in importance with cow's milk in
feeding children. Investigations have
shown that 90 per cent of the soybean
protein is absorbed in the body and 95 to
100 percent of the milk is digested.
Soybean milk is very helpful in maintaining
intestinal health.

animal fat.
Who invented pizza?
Everyone knows that pizza comes from Italy, but do you
know that pizza was originally a kind of food for poor people
in Italy? Poor people rarely had plates so they baked flat,
round bread to hold their food. This made an easy,
inexpensive meal.
The first pizza with toppings like our modern pizza was made
by an Italian baker in 1889. He baked a special kind of flat
bread for the King and Queen of Italy using the Italian flag.
He used green herbs, white cheese and red tomatoes.
Today pizza is all around the world by both the rich and the
