Abstract
It's that time of the week again - sit down with a cuppa and enjoy our round-up of Fun Friday Food Facts! We'd love to hear your favourite on Twitter @CSCMag.
- You may complain about the price of a pint of beer in London, but at least it doesn’t cost £700! That’s right, thought to be the world’s most expensive beer, a 12-litre bottle of Vielle Bon Secours ale will set your wallet running. It’s available in a small number of restaurants and hotels, has an 8% ABV and has a ‘complex' citric, caramel and toffee flavour with undertones of liquorice and aniseed
- Globally we eat 100bn bananas every year, half of them identical clones of a single strain known as the Cavendish - all descendants of a single banana
- Lots of people don’t like cooking, but did you know that some people have a genuine fear/phobia of getting behind the stove – known as mageirocophobia!
- Are you aware that 90% of the foods we eat come from just 30 plants?
- Fish is the world’s single-most traded food commodity with an estimated export value of £100bn ($130bn), followed by soybean (£45bn) then wheat (£35bn )
