What's the news on Salmon?
Great article in July 2008 Saveur on Salmon. I'd like to post a picture here, but I'm not sure what the copy right issues are! In a nut shell, the articles explain that farmed Salmon may be getting better and better in order to compete with wild salmon. And, the article introduces a new (or new to me, anyway) source of Alaskan Salmon. It's not just from Copper River anymore. The Yukon-Kuskokwim Delta (well, maybe that's in Canada?) is now supplying some really high quality wild salmon through a company the fisherman called Kwik'Pak fisheries. Check out the website (and, by the way, they are located in Alaska. I checked the map!)
Great visual of the different types of salmon, as well.
Cheese, Glorious Cheese!
Great long look at cheese in the September 30th Wine Spectator. This thorough piece lists 100 cheeses by country with a brief description of each as well as four wine/cheese pairing plates. Included are a few cheese recipes and some great places to pick up cheeses.
One of the major things that is missing from the article is the region/locale of the cheese maker within its given country. A map of the cheese makers might also have been useful.
