What The World's Families Eat in a Week Updated: May 23, 2016 10:44 AM EDT | Originally published: September 20, 2013 4:44 PM EDT American photographer Peter Menzel and writer Faith D’Aluisio have traveled the world documenting that most basic of human behaviors—what we eat. Their project, “Hungry Planet,” depicts everything that an average family consumes in a given week—and what it costs. The pair released their book “Hungry Planet: What the World Eats” in 2005, showcasing meals in 24 countries. More from TIME The Ayme family of Tingo, Ecuador, was pictured with a haul of vegetables. In 2013 and 2014, their “Hungry Planet” portraits were exhibited by the Nobel Peace Center to give viewers a peek into kitchens from Norway to Kuwait and China to Mexico, and to raise awareness about how environments and cultures influence the cost and calories of the world’s dinners.
Calligraphy Where did Halloween come from? Origins and why we celebrate on All Hallows' Eve Halloween, the ghoulish celebration of the all that is spooky and ghostly is peeping up around the corner at us once again. Millions celebrate Halloween all around the world, but where did the festival come from? Dog 'will have to be put down after its owner and his girlfriend had sex with it' Halloween falls on the eve of the Christian festival All Hallow’s Day, so is known as All Hallow’s Eve, Allhalloween or All Saints’ Eve. The origins of the festival date back to the time of the ancient Celts and the Celtic festival of Samhain in particular. Samhain – which is November in Irish, pronounced sow-in – was the festival that marked the end of summer and the harvest season. The Celts lived in Ireland, Britain and northern France and were pagans. The presence of these spirits made it easier for the Druids – Celtic priests – to make a prediction about the future. On Samhain, the Celts would burn animals or crops on the bonfire as a sacrifice to the Celtic gods.

Conflicts in Literature Traditional English Food Specialities Open any guide book to the UK and you will see the same traditional dishes listed. They are generally relatively simple, hearty fare which in the past were chiefly notable for the freshness of their ingredients and marvellous "unprocessed" character. The best examples still are, but unfortunately (and especially in tourist areas) you may encounter sadly degenerate versions scarcely worthy of the name. Hold out for the good stuff, it's worth it! Fish and Chips: Usually cod or haddock, although skate and plaice are often available. Roast Beef and Yorkshire Pudding: The traditional British Sunday lunch. Shepherd's Pie: Not many people, even in England, know the difference between Shepherd's Pie and Cottage Pie. Ploughman's Lunch: My favourite, especially when accompanied by a pint of beer! Cornish Pastie: Another traditional pub staple, basically a dryish mixture of meat and potato and other vegetables baked in a folded-over pastry crust. So. as you see, food in England needn't be so bad!
