Vietnamese Milk Coffee

If you’ve ever tried Vietnamese coffee, called cà phê sữa, the mere mention of this delicately-crafted, decadent drink will likely induce an immediate, mouth-watering craving. The drink is unforgettable. The subtle sweetness, the indulgent creaminess, and the intense, yet smooth, flavor of the coffee blend together to create an exquisite, unparalleled drink. Once you try Vietnamese-style milk coffee, you’ll probably never want to go back. 

For Discoveries at the Jungle Vietnam, we’ve delved deep into the world of cà phê sữa and we’re excited to share our discoveries with you!

5 Reasons to Start Eating Chocolate-Covered Bugs

For many centuries, farmers were united against one merciless enemy: the insect. Tiny beasts that, when left unchecked, could completely undermine seasons of hard farm work and send families into starvation. It’s no wonder, then, why many modern-day Americans are opposed to eating insects. As the mortal enemy of our agrarian ancestors, insects instill in us an abject fear and disgust that we simply have not been able to shake. However, Americans and Europeans are in the minority when compared to the rest of the world.

Discoveries at the Jungle: Maple

What can we say about maple syrup? Without it, pancakes would be inedible, children’s’ hands wouldn’t be mysteriously sticky, and the world would be a much less interesting place. We wouldn’t have those delightfully molded maple candies, bacon would be slightly less magnificent, and baked bean brands around the nation would suffer. All in all, maple syrup is the bee’s knees (or, rather, the tree’s squeeze), which is why our Discoveries at the Jungle feature for November is Maple!

Discoveries at the Jungle Brasil: Picanha, the Best Steak in the World

Picanha is a cut of steak that comes from the end of a steer, just above the tail. In the United States, this cut is sometimes called a top sirloin or a rump cut. Picanha is characterized by a thick cap of fat that covers the top of the steak. This adds complexity and flavor to the finished product. In most cases, the fat is at least ½-inch thick, but it’s often as thick as 4 inches.

Discoveries at the Jungle: Lemon

This month’s Discoveries at the Jungle feature is lemon, a sunshine-flavored citrus fruit that seems to pair well with everything!

We take lemons for granted, but in the eighteenth century they were a life-saving commodity! Read on for a brief history of the mysterious disease that killed over two million people between the fourteenth and nineteenth centuries.
