National food site voted this as New Jersey’s classic sandwich

Posted on13/09/202230/11/2022Author

Delish.com a recipe, party planning and entertainment website, came out with a list of the favorite sandwiches to order in each state.

The sandwich named is a part of each state’s lore and makeup and part of the culinary experience of the states listed. When in each state, you should order what the state is known for.

I agree with that. When I’m in Maine I order a lobster roll at every restaurant doing a taste test to find the ultimate roll. I also taste the New England clam chowder. Coincidentally, the lobster roll was the classic sandwich to order in Maine.

To the south, for our friends in Delaware the classic sandwich to order is the Thanksgiving sub that was first introduced 40 years ago at Capriotti’s Sandwich Shop and it’s a favorite of President Biden.

In New York, pastrami on rye bread is the classic sandwich to order. I’ve done the pastrami taste test in New York and there are delis who just know how to make pastrami right and the end result is an enjoyable sandwich.

In Pennsylvania, Delish of course says that it’s the Philly cheese steak. There will always be a debate among all who enjoy a great cheese steak whether it’s Geno’s or Pat’s in Philadelphia that has the best cheese steak. I’ve had both and I have to tell you I like both places and their cheese steak offerings. I’m going to get bad feedback on that noncommittal choice but so it goes.

In Maryland you’ll enjoy a crab cake sandwich, in Alaska it’s a reindeer sausage sandwich (no thanks), in Connecticut it’s a fried clam sandwich. Florida has the Cubano, in Kansas it’s a burnt end sandwich, and Louisiana, of course, is serving up the shrimp poboy sandwich.

Here in New Jersey, Delish says it’s the Italian sub that is the classic sandwich to order while visiting the Garden State. They singled out Cosmo’s in Hackensack as a great place to get an Italian sub.

One of the reasons they picked the Italian sub is because of the vast Italian heritage and population here in New Jersey. I can certainly understand that but the people from delish aren’t from New Jersey. I would have selected pork roll, egg and cheese on a hard roll — I know, I know, some of you say that it’s Taylor ham not pork roll. Whatever you call it, you know what I mean, it’s the food assigned to New Jerseyans to send to them wherever they are in the world.

Enjoy a classic sandwich and while traveling check out the local fare, most of the time you’ll be pleasantly surprised. Happy eating!

Do students really eat that badly?

Posted on02/09/202230/11/2022Author

Students have a reputation for eating nothing but pasta and baked beans on toast (which, in fact, is pretty good for us) – but there’s much more to students’ diets.

One survey found that one in 10 students in the UK are vegetarians, which is twice as many as the general population. Diets with low or no meat have been associated with health benefits, although the overall healthfulness of a vegetarian diet depends on what foods are eaten instead of meat. The same survey also found that a quarter of students eat convenience foods most, or every, day.

Another study concluded that only one in five students had “favorable eating behaviors”, which included moderate snacking, consuming little fast food and eating a lot of fruit and vegetables.

Researchers have also found that students are more likely to gain more weight than people of their age who don’t go to university.

Despite a brief deviation from the norm during Covid when students didn’t move out of their family homes, “the research shows that generally students don’t eat very healthily”, says Martin Caraher, professor emeritus of food and health policy at City, University of London.

On a more positive note, students are drinking less alcohol than they did 10 years ago, says John Holmes, professor of alcohol policy at the University of Sheffield in the UK. This is particularly good news because evidence suggests that we establish our drinking habits during young adulthood and maintain them, and that the risks for certain diseases, including liver disease, heart disease and some types of cancer (including breast, bowel and throat), increase based on the amount we drink over our lifetime, Holmes says.

Students’ drinking habits can also affect their diets; they’re more likely to eat after drinking alcohol, and more likely to eat calorific foods high in salt and sugar, according to research. This behavior is perpetuated by the false belief that you have to eat something alongside drinking alcohol to help “soak up the alcohol”, says Jessica Kruger, clinical assistant professor of community health and health behavior at the University at Buffalo in New York.

“If someone’s out drinking, they’re not going to search for healthy options,” she says. “Nor do many bars or restaurants that are open late have many healthy options, especially in student areas.”

Kruger surveyed more than 250 students and found that they don’t tend to make healthy choices regarding food the day after drinking, either. While there’s no data, Kruger speculates that it may be because alcohol can dehydrate you, and in response, the body craves salty foods in order to get you to drink more water.

EXCLUSIVES: Ivanka Trump spent Giving Tuesday in North Carolina with Ripe Revival, an organization that works to distribute meat, dairy, fresh produce and other items to food-insecure rural families in the state.

“Wonderful organizations like Ripe Revival foster connectivity between America’s small farms and hungry families in need of healthy and nutritious food,” Trump said. “On this Giving Tuesday, I had the pleasure of joining Ripe Revival in North Carolina to help distribute their beautiful, locally sourced fresh produce, protein and dairy to food-insecure rural families near Raleigh.”

During her visit, Trump helped Ripe for Revival pack its mobile market bus with food and later volunteered at one of their weekly distribution sites in Littleton, NC The organization has partnered with the Ed Fitts Charitable Foundation and Littleton Academy, a community organization and a school , to establish a voucher program that lets parents shop for groceries with their children after school.

Prices for the food products in the mobile market bus are subsidized and cost about 25% less than the prices found in the grocery store.

“We are honored to spend Giving Tuesday with Ivanka Trump and her team as they visit the Ripe For Revival 501(c)(3) pay-what-you-can Mobile Market program,” Kornegay said. “This non-profit program makes fresh, local produce and food accessible and affordable to all, regardless of their budget.”

Ripe Revival credits the creation of their business and nonprofit organization to the Farmers to Families Food Box program that Trump spearheaded alongside USDA’s Secretary of Agriculture Sonny Perdue during the Trump administration. That program provided nearly 4 billion meals to families in need during the COVID pandemic.

The former program participants, including Ripe for Revival, have grown both their for-profit food distribution business and their non-profit organization.

Since she left the government, Trump has focused on philanthropic efforts that include supporting farmers in the United Statesfighting food insecurity and aiding in various disaster relief efforts at home and abroad.

“I love my father very much. This time around, I am choosing to prioritize my young children and the private life we are creating as a family,” Ivanka Trump told Fox News Digital. “I do not plan to be involved in politics.”

“While I will always love and support my father, going forward I will do so outside the political arena. I am grateful to have had the honor of serving the American people and will always be proud of many of our administration’s accomplishments.”

She told Fox she was “extremely close” to her father.

“That hasn’t changed and will never change,” she added. “I’ve had many roles over the years but that of daughter is one of the most elemental and consequential. I am loving this time with my kids, loving life in Miami and the freedom and privacy with having returned to the private sector. This has been one of the greatest times of my life.”

“They are at critical ages, and we are enjoying these moments with them,” Trump said. “We’re happy where we are right now, and we will continue to support my father as his kids.”
