Sharing five food related facts:
1. What old-school ‘diet’ food went viral in 2024?
Cottage cheese (do you like cottage cheese?)
2. What chocolate treat became the talking point of the 2024 Olympics?
Chocolate muffins (Yum, I can understand why!)
3. What is a mirepoix?
A mixture of evenly diced carrot, celery and onion. (it's a nice mix 😋)
4. What does it mean if an egg floats in water?
It’s old and could be rotten. They lose density with age (I knew this 👍 )
5. Can you name the famous chef who played football for Oxford United’s UK youth team?
Gordon Ramsay (I can remember reading about this 👍 )
I only knew 4 and 5

The breathtakingly beautiful area of Langdale, in the UK's Lake District.
It runs west of Ambleside up to the Langdale Pikes. Pike is a local term for peak.
It splits into two valleys, Great Langdale and Little Langdale (image from google)

Uy no sabía lo de Gordon Ramsay. Te mando un beso.
I knew the egg thing, but was unsure if floating was bad or good.
When growing up. We ate for lunch is cottage cheese and fruit.
I thought it was Dubai Chocolate :-))
I knew 2, 3 and 4.
I knew 1, 3, and 4. I love cottage cheese and use mirepoix.
I knew 1. 3. and 4.
I will only eat cottage cheese if it's cooked in something.. For example, a low fat alternative to ricotta. In a lasagna.
Hope you're keeping warm. My fingers are freezing. Debbie.
Le prime due curiosità le conoscevo bene.
Soprattutto quella dei muffin, che pare fossero l'unica cosa commestibile al villaggio olimpico
Grazie dei consigli.Iscriviti al mio blog,grazie.
I only knew number 4! I do like cottage cheese, but find it quite 'wet' at times
I only knew one and that is the egg one Jan.
I only knew about the eggs and Gordon Ramsey.
God bless.
Lovely to read these new facts though you might have mentioned about rotten eggs floating in the water in the past
Beautiful view and a lovely photo.
The mirepoix sounds yummy.
I do like cottage cheese, it is yummy with pineapple chunks.
Take care, enjoy your day!
Great photo Jan :-D I knew Gordon Ramsay played football!
In 2024 I have seen chocolate muffins and cottage cheese (fiocchi di latte in Italian language) in many shops, groceries and super markets. My daughter sometimes buys them. And I like the mix of carrot, celery and onion (with olive oil 😉).
I remember you already shared information about floating eggs on your blog, but I didn't know Gordon Ramsey was a professional football player.
Have a nice week ahead of you :-)
Fun facts. I think those chocolate muffins sound yummy. Happy new week to you Jan.
Thanks for the definition of mire poix. I've heard that before but hadn't looked it up!
I like cottage cheese with pineapple.

Nice to read. Beautiful photo. Greets
Jan, as you know, cottage cheese is very healthy because it is low in fat, has protein and sometimes comes without added salt.
Hello!!! Interesting dates ... Best wishes for 2025
I know numbers 1 and 4.
I failed. ;-)
My husband loves cottage cheese.
Only the first fact and maybe the third. Otherwise I failed LOL.
Hi Jan,
I didn't know any of these facts. We are always learning.
Wonderful landscape.
Greetings and take care.

I knew the first two curiosities well.
Especially that of muffins, which seem to have been the only edible thing in the Olympic village

Thanks for the advice. Subscribe to my blog, thanks
I only knew number 4
I always enjoy your tidbits of trivia. Learned a few things too.
Funny thing about #1, we started eating cottage cheese this year instead of potatoes:) I knew 2 because they had a segment on it during the olympics on our morning show. And I knew #4
Very interesting facts
Glad you shared Jan
Hugs and prayers
Conocía alguno, no todos. El requesón me gusta. Besos.
I only knew the fact about eggs . I do quite like cottage cheese but haven't eaten it for a while.
