• HFCS

    From JIM WELLER@1:135/392 to DENIS MOSKO on Sunday, February 27, 2022 22:30:00
    Quoting Denis Mosko to Jim Weller <=-

    What is HFCS?

    High Fructose Corn Syrup. In Canada and Europe it is called
    Glucose-Fructose, It is a highly processed form of manufactured
    sugar made from starch.

    It is much cheaper than sugar made from sugar cane or sugar beets,
    partly because the US government has import tariffs on imported cane
    sugar and subsidies for domestic corn growers.

    Canada doesn't grow a lot of corn because of our colder climate but
    we do import a lot of American processed foods that contain HFCS.

    The United States Food and Drug Administration states that it is
    safe but that opinion is very controversial and often questioned.

    They do however recommend that Americans consume less sugars from all
    sources. They eat more of it than anyone else:

    Sugar consumption by country:

    USA is #1 at 125.4 g per person per day

    Russia is #2 at 105 g

    Canada is #10 at 89.9 g

    Health authorities suggest a maximum of just 25 g!



    Cheers

    Jim

    MMMMM----- Recipe via Meal-Master (tm) v8.06

    Title: Canadian Rabbit Stew
    Categories: Game, Vegetables, Herbs, Breads
    Yield: 3 Servings

    1 lg Whole rabbit
    1 qt Water
    2 tb Cornstarch
    6 Sliced carrots
    6 md Potatoes; diced
    1 c Corn niblets
    1 c Green peas
    1 c Wax or green beans
    1 md Onion; chopped
    1 c Diced celery
    1 Bay leaf
    Salt & pepper

    MMMMM-------------------------DUMPLINGS------------------------------
    1 c A-P flour
    1 1/2 ts Baking powder
    1/2 ts Salt
    2 tb Chilled shortening or lard
    1/4 c (to 1/2 c) milk *

    * the less you use, the better the dumplings seem to
    hold together

    Boil the rabbit in the water until its meat is tender,
    then remove it from the pot and bone it. Put the meat
    into a large kettle, add 2 cups of the broth in which
    the rabbit was cooked, bring to a boil, and add a
    thickening sauce that you’ve made by stirring the
    cornstarch into 1/4 cup of the remaining rabbit broth.
    Allow the kettle’s contents to boil for another minute,
    then reduce the heat. Add all the remaining ingredients.

    DUMPLINGS: Sift the dry ingredients together into a
    bowl, then cut in the shortening with a pastry blender
    until the mixture resembles coarse meal. Add the milk
    all at once, stir lightly just until the dough holds
    together, and then drop rounded tablespoonfuls of the
    mixture on top of the gently bubbling stew. With the
    heat adjusted so that the liquid just simmers, let the
    dumplings cook - uncovered - for 10 minutes, then cover
    and let them cook 10 minutes longer, or until the steam
    has fluffed them up nicely.

    If you need to thicken the stew, do so after removing
    the dumplings.

    Serve homemade tomato relish and cranberry sauce on the
    side, to give your hearty meal just the proper finishing
    touch.
