Defining ethnic food is difficult. "Ethnic foods represent a complex, dynamic category, "according to the National Restaurant Association, "In a multi-cultural society like the U. S., one tends to perceive more and more cuisines as ethnic. "Also, over time, items that used to be distinctly ethnic, like tacos and pizza, have become part of the mainstream American diet. While an exact definition of ethnic food may be difficult, three trends are clearly emerging. First, traditionally popular ethnic foods such as Mexican, Italian and Chinese are becoming more sophisticated through the use of regional-type cooking and ingredients. Second, new ethnic cuisines, such as Indian, Moroccan and Thai cuisines, are experiencing "hot" growth because they are rich in aromas and have strong taste profiles that are unique and varied. Third, ethnic fusion foods, which combine the flavors of different regions and cultures, are growing in popularity because they satisfy the American demand for variety and taste.

  • Aquaculture
  • Seafood and Freshwater Food (Food Industries)
CONT

Aquaculture is currently one of the fastest growing food production systems in the world. Most of global aquaculture output is produced in developing countries, and, significantly, in low-income food-deficit countries. With stagnating yields from many capture fisheries and increasing demand for fish and fishery products, expectations for aquaculture to increase its contribution to the world's production of aquatic food are very high, and there is also hope that aquaculture will continue to strengthen its role in contributing to food security and poverty alleviation in many developing countries.

  • General Vocabulary
  • Market Prices
  • Finance
CONT

Commodity prices continued to drift lower in February, although much less rapidly than their 50% nose-dive in the second half of 2008. Most of the weakness was concentrated in natural gas, where weak industrial demand sent prices to $4 per mbtu. Crude oil prices rose above $40(US) a barrel. Prices for food and metals were little changed.

CONT

The steep slide of the Canadian dollar from as high as 91 cents US to the 63 cent range was also a factor – it helped boost Canadian exports to the US – but import growth was almost as vigorous so this exchange rate factor was not a major one.

French

Domaine(s)

CONT

La dégringolade du dollar canadien, passé de 0,91 dollar américain à environ 0,63 dollar, a également constitué un facteur – elle a contribué à stimuler les exportations canadiennes aux États-Unis – la croissance des importations a été presque aussi vigoureuse de sorte que le taux de change n’a pas constitué un facteur crucial.

CONT

En ce qui concerne les entreprises américaines, la croissance de leur PIB [produit intérieur brut] a continué de ralentir au troisième trimestre, en raison principalement de la dégringolade de l'investissement immobilier des ménages (-4,2 %).

  • Urban Housing

OBS

The demand increase induced by vouchers depends on the size of the population served(relative to the size of the market), the amount of the subsidy received by each household, and the extent to which the subsidy is spent on housing. The amount of the subsidy is easiest to evaluate : housing subsidies are fairly generous, as we might expect from a program that provides welfare recipients and over very low-income households with the median rental housing available. For example, the 1997 Fair Market Rent for a two bedroom apartment in the Oakland MSA is $794, which is about equal to welfare and food stamps benefits combined.

DEF

The application of science to extend the profitable utilization of agricultural products, especially for non-food purposes.... The concept originated as an approach to the problem of farm surpluses. It was assumed that, because effective food demand was limited, more farm products should become industrial raw materials. The more liberal definition today includes not only non-food uses for farm-grown materials, but development of new crops, markets for presently unprofitable residues, and improved food forms.

En clair, il s'agissait d'évaluer les possibilités d'une chimiurgie, c'est-à-dire d'une chimie utilisant les produits végétaux comme matière première, en comparaison avec la carbochimie et surtout la pétrochimie.

Specialized cuisine, ethnic food demand trend tin dining out.-Not too many years ago, when most North Americans thought of dining out, their idea of a gastronomic treat tended more often than not to beef, beef and more beef. Restaurants, of course, were quick to meet the demand. No self-respecting French menu was without tournedos Rossini, steak tartar or entrecôte au poivre flambé at table...
