Fat Unicorns Have Rights

Image
I strongly believe that fat unicorns, also called rhinoceros, deserve more respect. Sadly, each year, a lot of them are killed for their horns. In some parts of Asia, rhino horns are in high demand. They are used in traditionnal medicine in Asian countries. They are touted as a cure for cancer, even if they can't do absolutely nothing against it. Rhino horns are made of keratin, just like our nails and hair. Rhino horns are as useful at curing cancer as chewing your fingernails. It is not effective, but some people believe rhino horns have powerful properties. This is totally illogical, but killing poor fat unicorns is even more absurd. https://www.teepublic.com/t-shirts/chubby-unicorn To continue, chubby unicorns are critically endangered because of the poaching. For example, the number of rhinos poached in South Africa has increased by 9,000 since 2007. https://www.awf.org/wildlife-conservation/rhinoceros

To begin, here's a  few basic facts about Mongolia: -Mongolia is  bordered by  Russia  at the north  and by  China in  the  south.  -Around of  30% of the population  has a semi-nomadic or nomadic way  of life.

Discrimination Against Potatoes

Spuds don't have a good reputation. They are often misunderstood. Potatoes are mocked and people think they are ridicule. People think that spuds ugly and tasteless vegetables. But it's not true. Potatoes are suffering from stigmatization. They have feelings too. We should have more respect for them. Spuds should have the right to vote. A potato would be a great political leader. Spuds deserve equal rights. I hope than in a few years, they will have more rights and freedom. When someone says that he doesn't like spuds, it makes a potato very sad. They are sad because of the stigmatization. Spuds have always been kind to us but we are mean to them. We should be more grateful.

Potatoes In Space And Others Amazing Things

It can seem surprising, but spuds were the first vegetable to grow in space. It's totally amazing! Seed potatoes were tested for the first time in space aboard the Space Shuttle Columbia during the year 1995. It was for a partnership between the University of Wisconsin and NASA. Later, in 2004, NASA used a Chinese technique to create the ultimate chamber-grown potato. It's clearly, the most badass vegetable on Earth. This incredible spud achieved more than most people in their entire lives. This potato is  really brave. It should be an inspiration to all of us. Potatoes are still alive, when we buy them. They are still living in spite of the fact they have been harvested, but they are in a dormant state. Chips were invented by a mistake. They have been invented by the chef  George Crum in 1853. Cornelius Vanderbilt, a railroad mogul, like to eat at Cary Moon's Lake House in Saratoga, New York. One day, Vanderbilt sent back to the kitchen the thick-cut potatoes in his

Fries

Fries are allumette-cut deep-fried potatoes. They can also be called French fries, chips, finger chips, frites, hot chips, steak fries or potato wedges, depending of the country. Fries are eaten  as part of the lunch or as a snack. They are served hot and either crispy or soft. Fries appear on almost every menu of restaurants. Fries are usually eaten with ketchup, vinegar, tomato sauce and mayonnaise. They are also really salted. There are a few variations to fries, like carne asada fries. They are from Southwestern United States. Fries are covered with carne asada, cheese, guacamole and sour cream. In the United Kingdom, there are cheese fries. In Chile, there is a dish called chorrillan, wich consists in a plate of fries topped with slices of meat, sausages, fried eggs and fried onions. It is a dish to share because of its large size. Poutine is a famous dish made with fries. Chile fries are fries topped with green chile peppers , popular in New Mexico. In conclusion, I would

World's Biggest Potato

Image
This incredible potato was grown by Peter Glazebrook, an amateur gardener. It weighs 3.76 kg. The spud was put on show during Friday at the National Gardening Show in Shepton Mallet, Somerset in United Kingdom. Peter Glazebrook has already held the world record for thelongest carrot, with a17-foot long carrot. He was also the double Guinness World Record holder for the heaviest parsnip (13 lb) and the longest beetroot at 21 ft. He says that the secret of success is starting with the right seed. Peter Glazebrook is now the person that I admire the most. https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/newstopics/howaboutthat/7979980/Amateur-gardener-grows-worlds-biggest-potato.html

Poutine

Image
Poutine is a popular dish where I live, in the Canadian province of Quebec. It comes from the Centre-du-Québec area and emerged in the 1950s.  Several restaurants from this area claim to be the inventor of this wonderful dish, like Le Roy Jucep in Drummondville, La petite vache in Princeville and also Le lutin qui rit in Warwick but nobody knows the truth about this serious question.  Poutine is made with French fries and cheese topped with a brown gravy, but there is a lot of regional variations. A lot of people, like me, appreciate this dish. Poutine is a symbol of Quebec's culture. It can be eaten as a main course or as a side dish. Originally, poutine was eaten in casse-croûtes, a "greasy spoon" type dinners in the province of Quebec. It can also be eaten hockey arena, a popular sport in Canada. Because of its popularity, poutine can be found in almost every restaurant. In the northern border regions of the United States, there is also poutine. One year ago, dur
