🤔 Who remembers the #EgglessOmelette scene from Whites? 📺😀 🙌 Who fancies a trade mission to Amsterdam to explore the #FreeFrom market⁉️ 📺🌟 Back in 2010, Whites (aka #ChefWhites) was a brilliant TV sitcom starring Alan Davies, Darren Boyd, Katherine Parkinson & Isy Suttie, all about chefs & kitchen staff working in a country house hotel. The #freefrom market was probably gaining traction back then & this clip from the comedy shows the USA trend for the #eggwhiteomelette making its way over to the UK (even if certain characters like Kiki in the video didn't quite get them) 😉😉 🥚Thankfully, we now have products Alla Ouvarova & Anna Richey's Two Chicks cartons of egg whites, which would have made the chefs' work much easier 😉😉 🍽🍽 The #FreeFromFood market clearly offers lots of opportunities to satisfy consumers who are looking to cut out items from their diet for health, ethical & allergy reasons. 📍📍It's a massively growing market & we've teamed up with Newable to give free-from food & drinks businesses (that includes vegetarian & vegan) based in London the opportunity to apply to visit the Free From Food & Health Ingredients Expo in Amsterdam on a part funded Trade Mission to The Netherlands in early November 🔗🗓 Applications must be made by 13th September & you can find out more about this great business, networking & export opportunity from our feature at Women In The Food Industry below https://lnkd.in/eBBdMSce #trademission #freefromfood #eggfree #eggwhites

🍓🫖Cream first or Jam first? 🔬🧪Here comes the science bit.... 💡Scientists have finally revealed the answer to the perennial question when it comes to scones. Which should go one first. Researchers at the Centre for Industrial Rheology put it to the rheological test… "Cornish clotted cream and strawberry jam were purchased from Marks and Spencer. Viscosity, complex modulus and phase angle were determined for both components at 10 °C. "Clotted cream is more viscous and has a higher complex modulus than jam at lower shear rates i.e. more effort is required to induce movement in the clotted cream. When considering thixotropy and the decrease in complex modulus due to strain, the clotted cream recovers such that the complex modulus (and therefore rigidity) is higher than that of jam within 6 seconds of spreading. "The only logical conclusion from this casual study is that to have a good, rigid, base for the jam the clotted cream needs to be applied to the scone first. When considering thixotropy and the decrease in cream rigidity due to spreading-induced strain it takes 6 seconds for the cream to recover to the same rigidity of jam, which is arguably shorter than the time that it would take to dip a knife into jam and spread it onto the scone. This means that even when thixotropy is taken into account, the clotted cream should still be applied first." I was right all along. It's obviously cream first. The scientists have spoken. Full research here https://lnkd.in/erztJSWM Now they just need to settle whether scones are pronounced S'CONE (as in ice cream cone) or S'CON?! #baking #scone #jamfirst #creamfirst
