Welcome to Week 50 of 2019. Chef Works® Weekly Bites is where we take a dive into the fun and notable food stories of the week.
First up is guess the quote: “We all eat, and it would be a sad waste of opportunity to eat badly.” (Do you know who said it? Answer at the bottom).
APPETIZER
It was a classic “Friends” moment when Rachel Green mistakenly added ground beef to the trifle dessert. Of course, that’s just sitcom humor. That stuff doesn’t happen in real life. Does it?
Turns out one food site thought mincemeat really needed ground beef:
Well, on Monday morning, Kim Plowright was googling recipes for mincemeat tarts because she missed her late mother and clicked on a post from Spruce Eats, which is based in the US, for a mincemeat and apple tart on its site …
… Only thing is, when she scrolled to “gather the ingredients,” she saw a lovely photo of peeled apples, butter, sugar, pie dough — and a bowl of ground beef. The next steps instructed the baker to top this pile of meat with all of the other things, cover the creation in foil, and pop it in the oven.
Naturally, the beefy error went viral. You can read the entire story from Buzzfeed here.
