A Seaweed Farm…

[Win2Win]

That's one of the great things that this blog has taught me with respect to food. We all go about our daily lives without inquiring, without seeking, without really wanting to know more. It's one thing to read that most commercial ice creams being so darned airy and the ingredient that helps companies do that is a form of carageenan or seaweed in a powdered form that helps trap in the air bubbles. Take a pint of good creamy (and more dense) ice cream and let it melt then weigh the liquid contents. Compare that to some highly advertised local brands and be shocked by the results... It's another thing to be out and about on holiday and have a simple question lead to a fairly interesting learning experience. That's what happened on a mid-morning banca ride from the island of Culion to Coron recently...
