Golden Gate

Golden Gate er navnet på udmundingen af San Francisco-bugten i Stillehavet. Golden Gate-broen forbinder siden 1937 San Francisco med Marin County.

San Francisco

San Francisco er en amerikansk by i delstaten Californien. Byen er med sine 776.773 indbyggere Californiens fjerde største. San Francisco indgår dog i en stor metropol kaldet San Francisco Bay Area med hele 7 millioner beboere. I 1906 blev byen ødelagt af et jordskælv, men blev hurtigt genopbygget. Byen er bl.a. kendt for Golden Gate Bridge og sin store andel af homoseksuelle. Byen var centrum i it-boomet, det såkaldte dot-com boom. Kategori:Byer i USA ja:サンフランシスコ ko:샌프란시스코

Bugt

Når en kystlinje krummer konkavt, opstår der en bugt. Det gælder, uanset om der er tale om Søer eller have. En bugt kan også kaldes for en vig. Bliver en havkystlinje så konkav, at vandet omsluttes af land på tre sider, er der tale om en fjord. Bugter har gerne forholdsvist roligt vand. Begge dele begunstiger livet i vandet, og derfor er de som regel gode fiskevande. I ældre tid var små havbugter eftertragtede som ankerpladser, mens de store (Biskayen f.eks.) var frygtet, fordi man let mistede landkendingen. Det kan diskuteres, om Middelhavet og Østersøen er have eller bare store bugter på Atlanterhavet. Under alle omstændigheder har det været Europas held, at havet skærer sig så langt ind i kontinentet. Dels har det betydet en mildning af klimaet, og dels har det lettet transporten i løbet af de årtusinder, hvor veje var noget, man stort set selv måtte skabe.

Chuckey

A turducken is a de-boned turkey stuffed with a de-boned duck, which itself is stuffed with a small de-boned chicken. The cavity of the chicken and the rest of the gaps are filled with, at the very least, a highly seasoned breadcrumb mixture, although some versions have a different stuffing for each bird. Some recipes call for the turkey to be stuffed with a chicken which is then stuffed with a duckling. It is also called a chuckey. The result is a relatively solid, albeit layered, piece of poultry, suitable for slow cooking by braising, roasting, grilling, or barbecuing. The turducken is NOT suitable for deep frying Cajun style (to deep fry poultry, the body cavity must be hollow to cook evenly). Turducken fans say that it is complex and usually quite agreeable in texture and flavor, as the juices of the turkey and chicken baste the duck, and the more robust duck bastes the turkey and chicken. Turducken is a uniquely American development and is believed to be Cajun in origin, although it may also have originated in eastern Texas or northern Louisiana. Lake Charles, Louisiana, claims that Turduckens were invented there. While such elaborate layering of whole animals can be documented well back into the Middle Ages of Europe, some people credit Cajun-creole fusion chef Paul Prudhomme with creating the chimerical dish. However, no one has ever verified his claim. In recent years, the turducken was brought to popular attention due to its frequent mention by American football announcer John Madden. (Some people mistakenly credit Madden with inventing the dish, although this is clearly not the case). The November 2005 issue of National Geographic magazine traced the American origins of the dish to Maurice, Louisiana, and "Hebert's Specialty Meats," which has been making turduckens since 1985 when a local farmer whose name is lost to history brought in his own birds and asked Hebert's to prepare them in the now-familiar style. The company now sells around 3,300 turduckens a year. They share a friendly rivalry with famous Cajun chef Paul Prudhomme who claims to have been the first to serve turducken. Turducken is generally associated with the "do-it-yourself" outdoor food culture also associated with true barbecueing and crawfish boils, although some people now serve them in place of the traditional roasted turkey at the Thanksgiving meal. Turduckens can be prepared at home in the span of 12-16 hours by anybody willing to learn how to remove the bones from poultry, instructions for which can be found on the internet or in various cookbooks. As their popularity has spread from Louisiana to the rest of the Deep South and beyond, they are also available through some specialty stores in urban areas, or even by mail order.
