- Chef Tally's - I've binge eaten at least 50+ jamaican restaurants, and while this isn't your typical traditional jamaican spot, this is hands down one of my favorite places in south Florida. I dream about the chicken here. It's always a candidate for my "what should I eat this weekend" thoughts.
- Mila Sunday Brunch - $95 for all you can eat cinco jota jamon iberico, black caviar, and a ton of other creatively prepared dishes. I've had a few of the other brunchs in south florida, like edge, novikov, etc. but this one gets the thumbs up because they actually have more unique spreads and appetizers. Pro tip, they have a cheese wheel pasta and mojito station outside. Did I mention the price includes unlimited champagne and rose?
- Palacio de los Jugos - this is a staple of south florida cuisine. I might get some flack for having this on my list, but amongst all the cuban and latin spots I've been to across Hialeah and Miami, I always find myself back here grabbing a meal for like $7 and juice for $3!
- Stubborn Seed - I haven't gone since they've gotten their Michelin Star, but I used to frequent this place. What sets the tasting menu at stubborn seed apart in my opinion is the almagamation of dish pacing, food sourcing/creativity, and lineup of ingredients. I don't think there's a singular dish that really sets this restaurant apart from the rest of the modern fine dining options, but more so a extremely well presented and curated dining experience.
- Anita Gelato. This spot recently opened in Aventura coming from NYC. It's not a super traditional italian/argentiniam gelato, but the flavor combinations are the best I've ever had. And it's not too sweet. My favorite ice cream/froyo/gelato spot amongst the hundreds I've been to in SoFlo.

2024.05.14 20:40 RavensDoe Posting (again) the Stugotz Personal Record Book I've been keeping for years. He's had a few recent entries so I wanted to post an updated version.
I may have missed some more recent (late 2023-24) declarations, so let me know if I should add anything I've missed.
Stugotz personal record book. Sorry if the links are expired on some things. They're old.
[Time Stamps] Started to use them in late 2019. They may not be exact based on what podcast app or service you use. But they'll be close.
I DIDN'T ASK FOR ANY OF THIS:
(2) If Kirk Cousins goes to the Jaguars and not the Jets, no championship he wins will count in the personal record book.
Note (2)(a): Still pending sort of since Kirk is with the Vikings now – possible in future he could go to Jags.
(3) Eli manning has 1 ring. He doesnt get one for throwing a ball into David Tyree's face / Tyree getting a football stuck in his helmet.
(4) Carson Wentz has a Super Bowl 52 ring.
Note (4)(a): Foles does not have a Super Bowl 52 ring.
(5) The Raiders defeated the Patriots in their divisional playoff matchup in 2002 (Tuck Rule game), and then would defeat the Rams in Super Bowl 36.
Note (5)(a): In this scenario also, Bill Belichick was also "fired and looking for a job" after the Tuck Rule game and has 0 rings.
(6) If the 2017 Patriots won Super Bowl 52, James Harrison would not have a ring (Patriots lost to Eagles).
(7) Peyton Manning has one ring (Broncos ring does not count).
(8) Peyton Manning must give such ring he lost (above) to Von Miller, who thus has 2 rings.
(9) Aaron Rodgers can have all the rings he wants for keeping all of central Wisconsin employed.
(10) Brian Billick has 0 rings (2000 Ravens Super Bowl) because that defense carried him.
(11) Tony Boselli is a Hall of Famer.
(12) Tarik Cohen is an honorary Jew.
(13) JuJu Smith-Schuster is also an honorary Jew. L'Chaim.
(14) Drew brees has three rings for winning the super bowl for the city of New Orleans.
Note (14)(a): There was discussion on this where the number started at three, went up to five, came down to two, but it ended up at three.
(15) Mike McCarthy has no Super Bowl rings.
Note(15)(a): Dan also has this in his record book, and it is the first entry into the Le Batard Personal Record Book.
Note 15(b): In fact, McCarthy has -3 (Negative three) rings.
(16) Any Super Bowl rings Antonio Brown gets with the Patriots will not count in the Stugotz personal record book (9/9 Weekend Observations National Hour 2).
(17) Ohio State's 76 to 5 victory over Miami (Ohio) on 9/21/19 does not count.
(18) Due to Bill Belichick's 219 wins with Tom Brady, Bill's week 7 2023 victory over the Bills was actually his 81st victory and not his 300th victory.
(19) The 2002-03 Miami Hurricanes actually won the Fiesta Bowl/BCS National Championship game against Ohio State.
(20) If JJ Watt joins the Texans for the 2024 season or later on, none of the Super Bowl rings will count in Stugotz's personal record book
(1) If Westbrook wins a championship and beats Kevin Durant along the way in the playoffs, Westbrook will have won 2 championship rings.
(2) "STRAP IT ON BOYS, GONNA TAKE YA FOR A RIDE:"
Kevin Durant has 0 rings (Zero rings)
Kevin Durant has -1 rings (Negative 1 rings).
Kevin Durant has -4 rings (Negative 4) (As of 4/11/18)
Note (2)(a): This number is subject to change based on Stugotz altering rings to the "-4" current total. Specifically as seen recently when Stugotz adjusted the number from (i) 0 rings to (ii) -1 rings to (iii) -4 rings.
Note (2)(b): Here is a tweet transcript of the conversation where this was discovered.
Archive link
(3) If Kevin Durant wins an NBA title for the NY Knicks, he will gain 11 rings.
Note (3)(a): As seen above in "(2)," Kevin Durant has -4 rings.
Note (3)(b): [Math] If Durant were to remain at -4 rings, and subsequently win an NBA title for the Knicks, he will have 7 rings total. This was specifically stated (-4 + 11 = 7), and a question about a non-specifically stated Personal Record Book entry is posed below in "Note (3)(c)(i)."
Note (3)(c): If the Golden State Warriors had won a championship playing 3 on 5 with Kevin Durant, Kevin Durant would have 1 ring.
Note (3)(c)(i): [Confusion] I am unsure if "Note(3)(c)" means he would gain +1 ring, and therefore be "up" to -3 rings total. Possibly, Stugotz means if the Golden State Warriors had won a championship 3 on 5 with Durant, Kevin Durant would be at +1 rings total (Positive 1 rings).
(4) Kevin Durant's dagger in Game 3 did not count, because according to Stugotz, none of Durant's stats count. KD's official statline last night was 0/0/0 and the Cavs blew the Warriors out by 40.
(5) Anything Kevin Durant has done with the Warriors so far is not in Stugotz' personal record scroll.
Note (5)(a): Stugotz did not take his feathered pen and write anything in his scroll (King Roy approves).
(6) Westbrook has ALL of KD's rings.
(7) For every time KD says he doesn't give a BLEEP, Stugotz adds 2 "I do give a BLEEPS" in the personal record book.
(8) Per Dan, speaking on Stugotz' behalf, Kevin Durant has no Olympic Gold Medals (9/18/19 National Hour 1 @ 00:07:50).
Michael Jordan
(1) Jordan has 9 rings because:
(a) The Rockets have to give their 2 rings from 1994 and 1995 to Jordan (+2); and
(b) The Bulls would have won the 1999 Finals over the Spurs if Jordan didn't retire (+1; 9 total).
Note (1)(a-b)(i): Put LeBron's rings in a box and put Jordan's rings in a box. Jordan is +6 by the way over LeBron box-minus, despite box-minus sounding like a dumb stat.
(2) Michael Jordan was suspended for 2 years for gambling (Said 4/25/18 Hour 2, 14:30 in podcast).
Note 2(a): HOWEVER, MJ still has 9 rings as see above in (1)(a) and (1)(b).
(3) Any game Michael Jordan played wearing the uniform #45 does not count.
LeBron James
(1) If LeBron James goes to the Golden State Warriors, every Championship he wins will result in a deduction of 2 previously won championships.
(2) The Miami Heat LeBron teams were the GREATEST teams in the history of sports (5/7/18 Local Hour).
(3) The Miami Heat LeBron teams were also the MOST INTERESTING teams in the history of sports.
(4) If, after the 2018 NBA Playoffs:
(a) LeBron does not make it to the finals and the Celtics do; and
(b) The Houston Rockets do not make it to the finals and the Warriors do; and
(c) LeBron goes to the Houston Rockets for the next season, THEN
LeBron is allowed to win rings that count in Stu's personal record book.
Note (4)(a-c)(i): HOWEVER, Harden & Chris Paul - if they remain on the Rockets with LeBron on the team - are not allowed to have any of the rings won with LeBron count in Stu's personal record book.
Note 4(a-c)(ii): To quote the big man Stu (with Dan agreeing of course), "Do it on your own” (Dan agrees here).
(5) If LeBron wins an NBA Championship with the 2018 Lakers roster (as of 7/23/18), then that wins counts for 6 rings.
Note (5)(a): Thus LeBron would have 9 rings.
Kyrie Irving
(1) Kyrie Irving hit one of the biggest shots in NBA Finals History, but was only in that position because of LeBron James. Kyrie Irving, did hit one of the biggest shots in NBA Finals history that won everyone on that team a Ring, except for you (Kyrie). (3/9/20 Hour #3; Google Podcast @ 07:00).
Note (1)(a): Stugotz: "A little revision to the uhhh Stugotz Personal Record Book that I'll come around to writing...or Mike will." I'M WRITING IT YOU IDIOT MORON JACKAL
Misc. Basketball
(1) The Houston Rockets have 0 (Zero) NBA Championship victories.
Note (1)(a): See "Michael Jordan (1)(a)" for reasoning.
Note (1)(a)(i): [Restated Reasoning] Michael Jordan is actually in possession of those 1994 and 1995 Rockets rings because Michael Jordan would have won those championships if he stayed in Chicago.
Note(1)(b): [CONFLICTING HOT TAKE] Stugotz has also said Jordan didn't get the Rockets' rings because he was actually suspended for gambling.
Note (1)(b)(i) NEEDS CLARIFICATION PLEASE. Stugotz keeps going back and forth. In "Michael Jordan Note 1(a)," the opposite of "Miscellaneous Basketball Note (1)(b) is stated because he has gone back and forth on this issue.
(2) Steve Kerr has no rings as a coach. In fact, he has never even coached a game.
(3) Mychal Thompson (Klay's dad) has no rings. (Said on Zach Harper podcast).
(4) Clyde Drexler no rings (Said on Zach Harper podcast).
(5) Giannis Antetekoumpo is pronounced Yani Adababoombo.
(6) As long as James Harden has his beard, he cannot win any championships.
Note (6)(a): If the Rockets win a ring, then the ring goes to the beard.
(7) Lamarcus Aldridge cost the Spurs game 2 of the 2017 Western Conference Semifinals, even though they won.
(8) If the Sixers happen to win a championship, Sam Hinkie gets a ring.
(9) Chris Paul has NOT made a Western Conference Final since he had to join the Rockets to do so.
(10) Michael Jordan winning the NBA Finals in 1999 also means that Tim Duncan only has 4 rings instead of 5 rings.
(11) The Warriors only have 1 ring
Note (11)(a): Durant still has -4.
(12) Boogie Cousins cannot win a NBA Championship and have it count if he does so with the Warriors.
(13) Billy Donovan was the NBA Coach of the Year in 2017 (12/13/17 @ 28:10 Hour 1).
Note (13)(a): The Thunder blowing the 3-1 lead to the Warriors that year had nothing to do with Donovan. It was Durant's fault.
(14) The OKC Thunder actually did win the WCF against the Warriors in 2017 when up 3-1.
Note (14)(a): This does not apply to Durant though.
Note (14)(b): The Thunder also beat whoever they would have played in the Finals. Durant still no ring.
(15) Embiid has his 2023 MVP taken away and given to Jimmy Butler.
(16) Caitlin Clark's NCAA all-time scoring record still belongs to Pistol Pete because unlike Pistol Pete, Caitlin didn't do it in 3 years and she did it with a 3 point line.
(1) Babe Ruth is black.
(2) Babe Ruth never hit a baseball. Not once.
(3) Babe Ruth is the number two black baseball player of all time behind Barry Larkin.
(4) Babe Ruth is NOT a top 20 Baseball player of all time. He's a pitcher.
Note (4)(a): However This is somewhat confusing/interesting because:
(i) Stugotz has said "Babe Ruth is the number two black baseball player of all time behind Barry Larkin; and"
(ii) This MUST mean Stugotz can only have 1 black player in his top 20 Baseball players of all time Barry Larkin; because
(iii) The only way this can work logically is if in the list of greatest players #1 through #20, only Barry Larkin is on the latter top #1 through #20 list. I would like some clarification on if he wishes to change this take/record.
(5) Babe Ruth is also not a top 20 pitcher of all time.
Misc. Baseball
(1) Stugotz has declared that in his personal record book, Baseball no longer allows pitchers to hit (Stated on 05/03/2018 @ 12:38:52 P.M).
Note (1)(a): Excludes Bartolo Colon, and Shohei Ohtani.
Note (1)(b): You are either a pitcher or a hitter. Not both.
(2) If the Dodgers won the 2017 World Series Clayton Kershaw would not have had a ring.
(3) Wade Boggs DOES have a ring because he rode around on a horse with a beer afterward.
(4) Clayton Kershaw did not win an MVP award because the award for pitchers was already given, the CY Young award.
(5) Miami beat LSU in the 1996 College Baseball World Series.
(6) The 1986 NY Mets did not win the World Series against the Boston Red Sox.
Note (6)(a): This "pains" Stugotz.
(7) The Red Sox retroactively winning the 1986 World Series may result in taking a ring away from the Mets.
Note (7)(a): Stugotz has to think about it though, he's not sure yet.
(8) Bryce Harper did not win the 2018 home run derby because he cheated.
(9) Kershaw's Earned Ring Average (ERA) is 0.00.
(10) Mike Minor (Rangers Pitcher) does not have 200 strikeouts in 2019. He's at 199 (National Hour 2, 10 mins 40 seconds in).
Note (10)(a): Chris agrees too. And who really cares (15% on poll do care).
(11) The 2020-2021 Mets, during the Coronavirus outbreak, are 0-3 and Jacob deGrom is somehow 0-1 with a 0.00 ERA and 1 complete game. The deGrominator. (Google Podcast 3/30 Hour #3 @ 19:20)
(2) Alex Ovechkin may or may not have won the Stanley Cup against the Vegas Golden Knights.
Note (2)(a): "I mean he beat an expansion team . . . bunch of players nobody wanted" (We get the sense that Dan agrees).
(2) If Maria Sharapova wins a grand slam in which Serena isnt competing it doesnt count.
(2) Vijay Singh did not play in the 2018 Masters.
(3) Steph Curry did not win the 2023 American Century Celebrity Golf Championship Tournament . Mardy Fish was the real winner.
(2) Soccer is dead.
(2) Rings plus-minus is the only way to measure greatness.
(3) The HBO Andre the Giant film was good, not great, and Stugotz didn’t learn anything.
(4) Benoit Lecomte (guy they interviewed) can not and will not swim from San Francisco to Tokyo in the personal record book because he is most likely taking a dip for a few minutes then coming back on the boat and enjoying some filet mignon by the pool.
Note (4)(a): "Do it without a yacht. And how about ya do it without the little magnetic field around you that keeps sharks away. How bout that. Allows dolphins through though? Anyway.."
(5) Justify (the Horse) only has a double crown.
Note (5)(a): This is the first ever double crown.
(6) Tango and Cash is in the action movie Hall of Fame. and Cliffhanger has the greatest 5 minute intro of any movie of all time.
(7) Maximum Security (a Horse) won the 2019 Kentucky Derby.
(8) Fruit Stripes Gum is NOT a 1st Ballot Hall of Famer in Stu's "Gum Hall of Fame." (08/12/2019 Hour 2 @ 15:25).
Note (8)(a): "It loses it's flavor so quickly"
Note (8)(b): Also, "[...] Bazooka...1st Ballot Hall of Famer." Also, "Big League Chew..1st Ballot."
(9) Chris Cote owns all intellectual property rights to the "Friends" (TV Show) Movie with a misleading preview that eventually has a climax leading to an intense murder mystery. (10/29/19 Hour #2 @ 03:15).
Note (9)(a): "If they make this without crediting Cote, they're stealing it."
(10) That guy killed the pigeon (12/10 Hour 3 @ 08:20).
(11) Billy owns the record for world's longest Plank (2/25, Hour #3; Google Podcast @ 30:55).
Note (11)(a): Possibly in just the Non-Marine edition.
(12) Zach Buchanan won a Pulitzer Prize for his story on the Madison Bumgarner / Mason Saunders rodeo fiasco (2/28/20 Hour #2; Google Podcasts @ 21:35).

(14) Ace Davis (The kid who "proved" Tom Brady was cheating with science) and his fathefamily are heroes (4/1 Hour #3; Google Podcast @ 18:50).
(15) Dan did NOT do more push-ups than Domonique Foxworth (Dan did push-ups on a non-linear platform) (4/28/2020 Hour # 1).
(Head Coach) Ernie Johnson - "When you look over to the bench, what you need is someone to stand tall, someone who is confident, someone who is competent, someone who has all the credibility -soaked in credibility - when you have the Head Coach of the Sports Media Dream Team."
(1; Point Guard) Mike Greenberg - "Doesn't really want to answer the big questions, but has no problem distributing those questions to other people who are happy to answer them."
(2; Shooting Guard) Stephen A. Smith - "Never met a topic he doesn't like. Short memory, doesn't care, Greeny could throw him anything and Stephen A. is gonna run with it even if he knows nothing about the topic. That is how it works. Stephen A. is the greatest of all time."
(3; Small Forward) Chris Fowler - "A do it all guy. Studio show? Great. Play by Play? Even better. Can do everything."

(9) Teased...

(7) Lamarcus Aldridge cost the Spurs game 2 of the 2017 Western Conference Semifinals, even though they won.
(8) If the Sixers happen to win a championship, Sam Hinkie gets a ring.
(9) Chris Paul has NOT made a Western Conference Final since he had to join the Rockets to do so.
(10) Michael Jordan winning the NBA Finals in 1999 also means that Tim Duncan only has 4 rings instead of 5 rings.
(11) The Warriors only have 1 ring
Note (11)(a): Durant still has -4.
(12) Boogie Cousins cannot win a NBA Championship and have it count if he does so with the Warriors.
(13) Billy Donovan was the NBA Coach of the Year in 2017 (12/13/17 @ 28:10 Hour 1).
Note (13)(a): The Thunder blowing the 3-1 lead to the Warriors that year had nothing to do with Donovan. It was Durant's fault.
(14) The OKC Thunder actually did win the WCF against the Warriors in 2017 when up 3-1.
Note (14)(a): This does not apply to Durant though.
Note (14)(b): The Thunder also beat whoever they would have played in the Finals. Durant still no ring.
(15) Embiid has his 2023 MVP taken away and given to Jimmy Butler.
(16) Caitlin Clark's NCAA all-time scoring record still belongs to Pistol Pete because unlike Pistol Pete, Caitlin didn't do it in 3 years and she did it with a 3 point line.
BASEBALL
Babe Ruth(1) Babe Ruth is black.
(2) Babe Ruth never hit a baseball. Not once.
(3) Babe Ruth is the number two black baseball player of all time behind Barry Larkin.
(4) Babe Ruth is NOT a top 20 Baseball player of all time. He's a pitcher.
Note (4)(a): However This is somewhat confusing/interesting because:
(i) Stugotz has said "Babe Ruth is the number two black baseball player of all time behind Barry Larkin; and"
(ii) This MUST mean Stugotz can only have 1 black player in his top 20 Baseball players of all time Barry Larkin; because
(iii) The only way this can work logically is if in the list of greatest players #1 through #20, only Barry Larkin is on the latter top #1 through #20 list. I would like some clarification on if he wishes to change this take/record.
(5) Babe Ruth is also not a top 20 pitcher of all time.
Misc. Baseball
(1) Stugotz has declared that in his personal record book, Baseball no longer allows pitchers to hit (Stated on 05/03/2018 @ 12:38:52 P.M).
Note (1)(a): Excludes Bartolo Colon, and Shohei Ohtani.
Note (1)(b): You are either a pitcher or a hitter. Not both.
(2) If the Dodgers won the 2017 World Series Clayton Kershaw would not have had a ring.
(3) Wade Boggs DOES have a ring because he rode around on a horse with a beer afterward.
(4) Clayton Kershaw did not win an MVP award because the award for pitchers was already given, the CY Young award.
(5) Miami beat LSU in the 1996 College Baseball World Series.
(6) The 1986 NY Mets did not win the World Series against the Boston Red Sox.
Note (6)(a): This "pains" Stugotz.
(7) The Red Sox retroactively winning the 1986 World Series may result in taking a ring away from the Mets.
Note (7)(a): Stugotz has to think about it though, he's not sure yet.

(9) Kershaw's Earned Ring Average (ERA) is 0.00.
(10) Mike Minor (Rangers Pitcher) does not have 200 strikeouts in 2019. He's at 199 (National Hour 2, 10 mins 40 seconds in).
Note (10)(a): Chris agrees too. And who really cares (15% on poll do care).
(11) The 2020-2021 Mets, during the Coronavirus outbreak, are 0-3 and Jacob deGrom is somehow 0-1 with a 0.00 ERA and 1 complete game. The deGrominator. (Google Podcast 3/30 Hour #3 @ 19:20)
HOCKEY
(1) Ray Bourque doesn't have a ring.(2) Alex Ovechkin may or may not have won the Stanley Cup against the Vegas Golden Knights.

2024.05.14 18:15 Many-Patient2894 I think my cousin was replaced, and I think I know when it happened. I don't know what to do
To be honest, I wasn't sure that the Advice sub would let me post this there so I'm posting it here because it's so fucked up. And it didn't seem right for Let's Not Meet, either. But I do need advice, because I feel I'm losing my fucking mind.
So I (30F) have always been very close to my cousin (30F), let's call her Angela. Because we're the same age, our parents (my mom and her father are siblings) went through all the same stages with us and as such, we were more or less raised like siblings due to how much time our families spent together.
We even had homes in the country in the same township, which is where I think this happened. And I can't really tell my family this because it will make me sound legitimately crazy. And some part of me even doubts this memory, but at the same time I know in my heart that it's true. It's a complicated feeling, and this memory was brought to light last week when my suspicion I've had for years was more or less confirmed.
One winter, sixteen years ago, when Angela and I were both fourteen, both of our families were at our cottages, a twenty minute drive from each other. Angela and her little brother (my cousin, let's call him James) parents (my aunt and uncle) were going skiing one morning, and I wanted to go too. So I spent the night at their cottage, like I often did when we all went up north.
Angela's bedroom had two single beds in it, and James' room was down the hall. The whole house was open concept, so the hall from Angela's room to James' room did not have walls, but rather was bordered by two railings over which you could see down into the main floor, the open concept living and dining rooms.
James is four years younger than us, and when he was 10, he was such a typical little boy/little brother, it's almost cartoonish to look back on. Like, I'm talking *constantly* bothering us, putting a stink bomb on a remote control car that he would sneak into our rooms, trying to read Angela's diary when we weren't in her bedroom, just all the stuff. But never anything cruel or out of the ordinary or sinister, just a massive handful.
The basement of James and Angela's cottage was filled with storage and old toys, and sometimes (on the rare occasion) that we'd willingly play with James, we'd all go down to the basement and try to freak each other out. Anyway, one of the toys in the basement was your typical Raggedy-Ann doll from the 60s or something. I think it belonged to my uncle when he was a kid and then Angela when she was a baby. Her name was Trilly. I forget who named it. Anyway, I have vague memories of playing with it when we were much younger and pretending it was our third cousin or our little daughter. But since then she'd sat in storage in the basement.
But, what great nightmare material! Right?! A creepy, limp, smiling doll. So the night I stayed over, before we went skiing in the morning, James, Angela and I were up to our playing in the basement, and I remember we tried to freak James out by pretending Trilly was alive or something like that. Whatever. Game over, we all had dinner with the parents, then watched a movie as a family and went to bed. James to his room and Angela and me to Angela's room.
Now this is the thing. Angela and I still joke about this night, and she remembers it just like I do, which is why I sort of wrote off my hypothesis until last week. That night, in the middle of the night, I started tossing and turning. I woke up and could tell that Angela was stirring as well. One of us said to the other, "are you awake?" and the other said "yes," and we realized that we both couldn't sleep or were woken up by the same thing or were both just feeling restless. But then, at the other end of her room, Trilly was sitting in the fucking desk chair.
I think it was Angela who pointed it out. We saw a shadow, thinking it was a person, freaked out, and then relaxed briefly when we saw it was just the doll. But then we got freaked out all over again and were like, "why the FUCK is this FUCKING doll in your room!?!?", murderously standing up and going over to it to pick it up and throw it in James' room and pound the living Christ out of him.
We turn on all the lights, turn on the hall light, stomp down the hall into his room and turn on his lights, and see he's not in his bed. We then go downstairs (my aunt and uncle's room was on the main floor), Trilly still in Angela's hands, and hear my aunt and James in the washroom. Turns out James had been sick for the last few hours and my aunt had been up all night with him as he was throwing up in the washroom. And when we saw the scene we immediately could tell that James had nothing to do with Trilly. Like, it was just one of those really believable situations where we could tell James truly had no idea what was going on. We even felt bad for him. And, to top it off, when we told him the story in the morning it scared him so much that he didn't go into the basement for like a year. Anyway, it just seemed really sincere.
So Angela and I went back up to her room and we were like, "are we *sure* we didn't bring this up here last night? Are we sure? We must have." Anyway, while we were really freaked, we figured that it was explainable. We knew the doll obviously didn't walk itself upstairs like it was some horror movie. But, because we were fourteen and all for the drama (and I remember us having the "better safe than sorry" mindset) we called her dog upstairs (Bella, a poorly behaved black poodle). We started playing tug-of-war with Bella, using Trilly as the toy, and eventually Bella ripped her to shreds.
Anyway, funny memory, making the dog rip up the doll, we laughed and thought we were tough and cool, then we went back to bed.
The next morning, instead of all of us going skiing, it was just Me, Angela, and my Uncle, because James stayed home with my aunt on account of his stomach flu. But when we woke up, Angela was acting weird. Nothing too noteable, just really bizarrely quiet as she moved around her room to get her clothes out of her drawers and get changed. She didn't, like, acknowledge me in her room. I said something like "morning" when she didn't acknowledge me, and she looked at me and then turned back to her drawers and kept getting changed.
And she was looking around weirdly, I remember that too. Almost like she'd misplaced something, but a little more dazed than that. Just moving strangely. Then she went downstairs without saying anything to me at all. I thought maybe she was just super groggy... but it still felt really weird.
When I went downstairs, she was standing at the island in the kitchen buttering toast that my uncle had put in for us. I distinctly remember walking up beside her and the toaster, pulling a piece of toast out of it, putting it on the plate that had been set out for me, and when I dipped the knife into the container of butter, Angela smacked my hand away, hard, and looked at me and snapped, "what are you doing? Don't take things that aren't yours". I was shocked. It honestly felt like being struck in the face. She'd never spoken to me like that before, and even though we were like siblings, I still felt that kind of mortifying embarrassment you feel when someone calls you out on misbehaving, even though I wasn't doing anything wrong; but it *was* her family's butter and bread? I don't know. That's what I remember thinking. But it was awkward and weird and I just said, "um, what?" and then she didn't say anything, just kept buttering her toast, and I mumbled some apology.
The three of us then drove to the ski hill and, I kid you not, Angela and I didn't speak the whole way there. I had no idea what was up, but I didn't want to ask with her dad in the car.
Then when we got to the ski hill, we went skiing just the two of us and on the chairlift during the first run I mustered up the courage to say "Hey, did I do something wrong? I feel like you're really mad at me or something". And she turned to look at me and was confused. Not friendly, not warm, not reassuring, but confused. It was almost as if I was a stranger and she looked at me as if to say, "sorry, who are you? why are you talking to me?"
And she responded in a formal way: "Sorry, I have no idea what you're talking about". The distance in her voice was really eerie, and I started to think maybe this had to do with the doll incident the night before and either she was trying to extend the prank, and she was the one who had put the doll on the chair, OR she felt guilty that we ruined this family doll and she resented me for being a part of it. Anyway, when we got to the top of the hill, she skied down quickly and didn't wait for me to go back up again, and we ended up skiing separately.
I felt awkward and embarrassed like I'd done something wrong. I ended up skiing with my uncle who asked me what was up with us, and I just said I didn't know. Then after our day of skiing, he dropped me off at my family's cottage and continued on home with Angela.
For the rest of that whole school year (we were in ninth grade), Angela and I didn't really speak. It was really sad. We were like sisters before, but better because we weren't actually sisters, but cousins, and so we were like best friends that were related. Seriously, we were really close. And it really messed me up, I felt like she just ghosted me. I would text her and call her house but she was always "fine" or "with Jessica" (her best friend). I chalked it up to her just outgrowing me, and it really fucking sucked. But, to be honest, it was so jarring and such a stark shift that I was more confused than hurt. I talked to my mom about it and she explained to me how rough it can be to be a teenage girl.
But that following summer, we were up at our cottages again, and our family had a barbecue and invited over my aunt and uncle and Angela and James. I had seen Angela at family things a couple of times since and she would just kind of ignore me and spend the whole time texting, which is what I expected this time.
Sure enough, that's what happened for the first bit of the barbecue. But then when the food was ready, she came up beside me as we were dressing our hamburgers at the condiment table and said, "oh my god, remember that night we got Bella to ruin Trilly?" and I was so shocked by her friendly tone, by her acting as though she were picking up a conversation we just were having, that I just stared at her and said, "yeah, that was crazy". And she said, "yeah, so funny. Anyway, how've you been?" again, really different and formal. I almost couldn't get past how altered her tone was, like we'd never even met. In fact she seemed so sprightly and kind that I thought she was mocking me.
And our relationship since that barbecue carried on just like that. She started talking to me more, but I'd reference inside jokes or ways we used to be or things we used to do and she never really latched on to any of them. I was caught between thinking she'd outgrown me and thinking she was like embarrassed of our closeness before or something and was trying to move on. I talked to my mom about this, and again got the speech about how teenage girls can be really cruel/strange sometimes.
So until we were about 22, we were like that. Nice to each other, talking sometimes, not that close, and I learned to not try and act like we were all close or that we had been close. I talked to my friends about it too and they said it was normal for friendships to change like that. But something felt off about this. I started to honestly feel crazy for hanging on to this "before" memory of Angela so much.
Then when we were 22, we grew apart. This time, it was mutual and natural. I moved cities, and she got engaged and became a real estate agent and we just had nothing to talk about. It was gradual and I didn't notice it much. Which brings us to eight years later, just last week.
I was travelling in Iceland. I had to be there (very randomly) for a conference/workshop I was leading for work, and turned it into a vacation. Rented a car, decided I was going to drive across the island after the conference was over and stay on the east part and explore a bit.
Day four of my seven-day long road trip. It's mid-afternoon, I'm hungry. I've been driving for three hours and have come across no sign of civilization at all, and it was fifty miles to the next town. But then, voila! A little gas station/general store/cafe! Perfect!
Ah, fuck. I literally can't believe I'm writing this. It makes me sound fucking crazy. But here I go.
I park in the little three-car parking lot. I get out of my car, step onto the gravel, the sky is white, expansive, there are mountains everywhere around me, fields, sheep. The air is fresh. Seriously middle of nowhere. I walk up the wooden rickety steps and push open the door and hear the door chimes go. A man walks out from the back room and greets me, and the place is cute. There's a little handwritten menu above the cash register and I asked him in my pathetic Icelandic/English mix if I could have the gravlax toast. He's very friendly and kind and says yes, asks if I want a coffee, I say yes please, blah blah, he rings me up at the cash register, and I go and sit at the one table they have and wait for my food.
I look around - it's mostly a fishing supplies store with some general groceries. The man opens the door to the room from which he came, the kitchen I suppose, and says the order to the lady in the back who looks like she's doing some prep cooking. Immediately I stop. It's freaking Angela!!!! Or I thought it was.
Now, remember, I hadn't seen Angela in about eight years. Since her dad passed away when we were twenty-three, and because I'd moved cities, we just had no reason to really see each other especially after growing so far apart.
So, like, OH MY GOD, it's Angela! She's working at a random little general store in middle-of-nowhere Iceland! But wait, I thought. No. This is obviously not-fucking-Angela. Angela is a real estate agent in my hometown. I'd obviously know if she lived in Iceland lol. Right? I don't really use social media but the odd time I do, she'll pop up here and there. But I guess not enough for me to *confirm* she still lived in my hometown.
But anyway, she looked enough like Angela that I went right up to the cash register and rang the little bell and the guy came back out and when he opened the door I was able to get another look at her, and my heart skidded. A chill spread across my crown. It was one hundred percent Angela. Like, my full-on cousin. So, looking over the guys' shoulder, RIGHT AT ANGELA, I smile and say, "Angela!! Oh my god!!" and before she could respond, the door shut again.
And the guy at the cash smiled really big, a nice, friendly, smile and he looked surprised as well, and pointed back over his shoulder and then at me, as if to say, "you two know each other?!" which confirmed for me that her name was Angela, because he seemed really delighted at the coincidence. Expecting her to emerge from the kitchen, I walked around to behind the cash register (the invitation was implied by the guy) and he put his arm back to open the door for me, or for Angela, whom we both expected to be making her way over to me, too.
When he opened the door, she was head-down again, chopping vegetables. I walked through the door and said, "Angela? Angela!" smiling, thinking she hadn't seen me yet or realized who I was, all context considered. She looked up at me, and then quickly, as though avoiding my eyes, looked down. "Hey", she said, quietly, at the cutting board.
WHAT THE FUCK WAS GOING ON? Before I could ask anything, she said, "I'm really sorry, okay?"
What?
She repeated herself and then continued: "I'm really sorry okay? But we can't talk".
I actually, like, had no clue what was happening. I was looking into the eyes of my cousin whom I hadn't seen in forever in some random fucking shack in Iceland and she was acting skittish and afraid. I opened my mouth to protest and she said, "I need you to leave," then she called the guy's name and said something to him in Icelandic. She can speak Icelandic??!
The guy came in, his demeanour totally different. Almost like he was a bouncer. He gestured to my coffee and toast that were ready to go, took them in his hands and ushered me out of the kitchen and I could tell I no longer was welcome. Either I wasn't welcome or I was in danger, or both. It felt more like the former. And I don't think the guy had any idea what was going on, either. I think she must have said something to him like "I don't know this person, this person is crazy" or something. That's how he was acting toward me.
I got in my car, I drove five minutes down the road, and pulled over. I miraculously had service and I called my mom and told her everything. She kind of just laughed at me and was like "Many-Patient2894, that obviously wasn't Angela". And joked about me making some poor Icelandic woman feel extremely weird. But based off the guy's reaction when I said her name, her name was Angela, and the way she spoke to me and said sorry and said we couldn't talk, like, she knew me too. I told my mom all of this and I sounded fucking crazy and she just was basically like, "Haha, yeah, weird". I think she thinks I was making up the part about the apology.
I told all of my friends this, when I was still in Iceland, and they all reacted like my mom did. At this point, I had four days left in the country, and I kept wanting to return to the cafe/general store. But I didn't. I started to think maybe the woman thought I was someone else. But then I kept coming back to, but wait, this person was Angela. Her name, her body, her face, like I just didn't know what to do.
This brings me to two days ago, the day before yesterday, when I returned to Canada, where I live. It's eight o'clock in the morning and I'm on my way to work. In my car. Just picked up a coffee. Exhausted. Not thinking about Angela at all. Thinking about my laundry, my bills, what I'm going to make for dinner. The traffic is bad and it's a miserable day outside.
My phone dings. It's a random number. The text reads: "Hey! It's Angela! How was your trip?"
Haven't heard from her in eight years (except for our run-in in Iceland, if indeed it was one). No "how have you been??", no "I miss you!!" no "long time no talk/see!". I also hadn't posted anything about my trip on social media. Unless you were a friend of mine, you didn't know I was there.
I immediately call my mom, who follows Angela on Instagram, and ask her to look at her profile. Sure enough, Angela (not at all to my mother's surprise), is posting stories of the bachelorette party she's at in Miami. She's, like, not at all in Iceland.
I have no idea what's going on. And the way Angela/the woman spoke to me in the cafe had the cadence and softness that Angela had, and in my memory, lost, starting the morning of the skiing after the incident with Trilly and the dog. For some reason I'm fully back there in my memory now, realizing that that was the first morning of "the new Angela", the one that seemed to have no emotional memory of me at all. Like, the Iceland Angela seemed more like the "before" Angela.
I haven't replied to the text. I have no idea if it was bachelorette party Miami Angela or Iceland Angela that sent me the message, the area code is from neither Angela's hometown or Iceland.
I need advice, I have no idea what to do or who to talk to. Do I reply to the text? What do I say? I feel like the real Angela is fucking trapped in Iceland or something and has been for a long time. Or I don't even know. I have no idea what to do.

So I (30F) have always been very close to my cousin (30F), let's call her Angela. Because we're the same age, our parents (my mom and her father are siblings) went through all the same stages with us and as such, we were more or less raised like siblings due to how much time our families spent together.
We even had homes in the country in the same township, which is where I think this happened. And I can't really tell my family this because it will make me sound legitimately crazy. And some part of me even doubts this memory, but at the same time I know in my heart that it's true. It's a complicated feeling, and this memory was brought to light last week when my suspicion I've had for years was more or less confirmed.
One winter, sixteen years ago, when Angela and I were both fourteen, both of our families were at our cottages, a twenty minute drive from each other. Angela and her little brother (my cousin, let's call him James) parents (my aunt and uncle) were going skiing one morning, and I wanted to go too. So I spent the night at their cottage, like I often did when we all went up north.
Angela's bedroom had two single beds in it, and James' room was down the hall. The whole house was open concept, so the hall from Angela's room to James' room did not have walls, but rather was bordered by two railings over which you could see down into the main floor, the open concept living and dining rooms.
James is four years younger than us, and when he was 10, he was such a typical little boy/little brother, it's almost cartoonish to look back on. Like, I'm talking *constantly* bothering us, putting a stink bomb on a remote control car that he would sneak into our rooms, trying to read Angela's diary when we weren't in her bedroom, just all the stuff. But never anything cruel or out of the ordinary or sinister, just a massive handful.
The basement of James and Angela's cottage was filled with storage and old toys, and sometimes (on the rare occasion) that we'd willingly play with James, we'd all go down to the basement and try to freak each other out. Anyway, one of the toys in the basement was your typical Raggedy-Ann doll from the 60s or something. I think it belonged to my uncle when he was a kid and then Angela when she was a baby. Her name was Trilly. I forget who named it. Anyway, I have vague memories of playing with it when we were much younger and pretending it was our third cousin or our little daughter. But since then she'd sat in storage in the basement.
But, what great nightmare material! Right?! A creepy, limp, smiling doll. So the night I stayed over, before we went skiing in the morning, James, Angela and I were up to our playing in the basement, and I remember we tried to freak James out by pretending Trilly was alive or something like that. Whatever. Game over, we all had dinner with the parents, then watched a movie as a family and went to bed. James to his room and Angela and me to Angela's room.
Now this is the thing. Angela and I still joke about this night, and she remembers it just like I do, which is why I sort of wrote off my hypothesis until last week. That night, in the middle of the night, I started tossing and turning. I woke up and could tell that Angela was stirring as well. One of us said to the other, "are you awake?" and the other said "yes," and we realized that we both couldn't sleep or were woken up by the same thing or were both just feeling restless. But then, at the other end of her room, Trilly was sitting in the fucking desk chair.
I think it was Angela who pointed it out. We saw a shadow, thinking it was a person, freaked out, and then relaxed briefly when we saw it was just the doll. But then we got freaked out all over again and were like, "why the FUCK is this FUCKING doll in your room!?!?", murderously standing up and going over to it to pick it up and throw it in James' room and pound the living Christ out of him.
We turn on all the lights, turn on the hall light, stomp down the hall into his room and turn on his lights, and see he's not in his bed. We then go downstairs (my aunt and uncle's room was on the main floor), Trilly still in Angela's hands, and hear my aunt and James in the washroom. Turns out James had been sick for the last few hours and my aunt had been up all night with him as he was throwing up in the washroom. And when we saw the scene we immediately could tell that James had nothing to do with Trilly. Like, it was just one of those really believable situations where we could tell James truly had no idea what was going on. We even felt bad for him. And, to top it off, when we told him the story in the morning it scared him so much that he didn't go into the basement for like a year. Anyway, it just seemed really sincere.
So Angela and I went back up to her room and we were like, "are we *sure* we didn't bring this up here last night? Are we sure? We must have." Anyway, while we were really freaked, we figured that it was explainable. We knew the doll obviously didn't walk itself upstairs like it was some horror movie. But, because we were fourteen and all for the drama (and I remember us having the "better safe than sorry" mindset) we called her dog upstairs (Bella, a poorly behaved black poodle). We started playing tug-of-war with Bella, using Trilly as the toy, and eventually Bella ripped her to shreds.
Anyway, funny memory, making the dog rip up the doll, we laughed and thought we were tough and cool, then we went back to bed.
The next morning, instead of all of us going skiing, it was just Me, Angela, and my Uncle, because James stayed home with my aunt on account of his stomach flu. But when we woke up, Angela was acting weird. Nothing too noteable, just really bizarrely quiet as she moved around her room to get her clothes out of her drawers and get changed. She didn't, like, acknowledge me in her room. I said something like "morning" when she didn't acknowledge me, and she looked at me and then turned back to her drawers and kept getting changed.
And she was looking around weirdly, I remember that too. Almost like she'd misplaced something, but a little more dazed than that. Just moving strangely. Then she went downstairs without saying anything to me at all. I thought maybe she was just super groggy... but it still felt really weird.
When I went downstairs, she was standing at the island in the kitchen buttering toast that my uncle had put in for us. I distinctly remember walking up beside her and the toaster, pulling a piece of toast out of it, putting it on the plate that had been set out for me, and when I dipped the knife into the container of butter, Angela smacked my hand away, hard, and looked at me and snapped, "what are you doing? Don't take things that aren't yours". I was shocked. It honestly felt like being struck in the face. She'd never spoken to me like that before, and even though we were like siblings, I still felt that kind of mortifying embarrassment you feel when someone calls you out on misbehaving, even though I wasn't doing anything wrong; but it *was* her family's butter and bread? I don't know. That's what I remember thinking. But it was awkward and weird and I just said, "um, what?" and then she didn't say anything, just kept buttering her toast, and I mumbled some apology.
The three of us then drove to the ski hill and, I kid you not, Angela and I didn't speak the whole way there. I had no idea what was up, but I didn't want to ask with her dad in the car.
Then when we got to the ski hill, we went skiing just the two of us and on the chairlift during the first run I mustered up the courage to say "Hey, did I do something wrong? I feel like you're really mad at me or something". And she turned to look at me and was confused. Not friendly, not warm, not reassuring, but confused. It was almost as if I was a stranger and she looked at me as if to say, "sorry, who are you? why are you talking to me?"
And she responded in a formal way: "Sorry, I have no idea what you're talking about". The distance in her voice was really eerie, and I started to think maybe this had to do with the doll incident the night before and either she was trying to extend the prank, and she was the one who had put the doll on the chair, OR she felt guilty that we ruined this family doll and she resented me for being a part of it. Anyway, when we got to the top of the hill, she skied down quickly and didn't wait for me to go back up again, and we ended up skiing separately.
I felt awkward and embarrassed like I'd done something wrong. I ended up skiing with my uncle who asked me what was up with us, and I just said I didn't know. Then after our day of skiing, he dropped me off at my family's cottage and continued on home with Angela.
For the rest of that whole school year (we were in ninth grade), Angela and I didn't really speak. It was really sad. We were like sisters before, but better because we weren't actually sisters, but cousins, and so we were like best friends that were related. Seriously, we were really close. And it really messed me up, I felt like she just ghosted me. I would text her and call her house but she was always "fine" or "with Jessica" (her best friend). I chalked it up to her just outgrowing me, and it really fucking sucked. But, to be honest, it was so jarring and such a stark shift that I was more confused than hurt. I talked to my mom about it and she explained to me how rough it can be to be a teenage girl.
But that following summer, we were up at our cottages again, and our family had a barbecue and invited over my aunt and uncle and Angela and James. I had seen Angela at family things a couple of times since and she would just kind of ignore me and spend the whole time texting, which is what I expected this time.
Sure enough, that's what happened for the first bit of the barbecue. But then when the food was ready, she came up beside me as we were dressing our hamburgers at the condiment table and said, "oh my god, remember that night we got Bella to ruin Trilly?" and I was so shocked by her friendly tone, by her acting as though she were picking up a conversation we just were having, that I just stared at her and said, "yeah, that was crazy". And she said, "yeah, so funny. Anyway, how've you been?" again, really different and formal. I almost couldn't get past how altered her tone was, like we'd never even met. In fact she seemed so sprightly and kind that I thought she was mocking me.
And our relationship since that barbecue carried on just like that. She started talking to me more, but I'd reference inside jokes or ways we used to be or things we used to do and she never really latched on to any of them. I was caught between thinking she'd outgrown me and thinking she was like embarrassed of our closeness before or something and was trying to move on. I talked to my mom about this, and again got the speech about how teenage girls can be really cruel/strange sometimes.
So until we were about 22, we were like that. Nice to each other, talking sometimes, not that close, and I learned to not try and act like we were all close or that we had been close. I talked to my friends about it too and they said it was normal for friendships to change like that. But something felt off about this. I started to honestly feel crazy for hanging on to this "before" memory of Angela so much.
Then when we were 22, we grew apart. This time, it was mutual and natural. I moved cities, and she got engaged and became a real estate agent and we just had nothing to talk about. It was gradual and I didn't notice it much. Which brings us to eight years later, just last week.
I was travelling in Iceland. I had to be there (very randomly) for a conference/workshop I was leading for work, and turned it into a vacation. Rented a car, decided I was going to drive across the island after the conference was over and stay on the east part and explore a bit.
Day four of my seven-day long road trip. It's mid-afternoon, I'm hungry. I've been driving for three hours and have come across no sign of civilization at all, and it was fifty miles to the next town. But then, voila! A little gas station/general store/cafe! Perfect!
Ah, fuck. I literally can't believe I'm writing this. It makes me sound fucking crazy. But here I go.
I park in the little three-car parking lot. I get out of my car, step onto the gravel, the sky is white, expansive, there are mountains everywhere around me, fields, sheep. The air is fresh. Seriously middle of nowhere. I walk up the wooden rickety steps and push open the door and hear the door chimes go. A man walks out from the back room and greets me, and the place is cute. There's a little handwritten menu above the cash register and I asked him in my pathetic Icelandic/English mix if I could have the gravlax toast. He's very friendly and kind and says yes, asks if I want a coffee, I say yes please, blah blah, he rings me up at the cash register, and I go and sit at the one table they have and wait for my food.
I look around - it's mostly a fishing supplies store with some general groceries. The man opens the door to the room from which he came, the kitchen I suppose, and says the order to the lady in the back who looks like she's doing some prep cooking. Immediately I stop. It's freaking Angela!!!! Or I thought it was.
Now, remember, I hadn't seen Angela in about eight years. Since her dad passed away when we were twenty-three, and because I'd moved cities, we just had no reason to really see each other especially after growing so far apart.
So, like, OH MY GOD, it's Angela! She's working at a random little general store in middle-of-nowhere Iceland! But wait, I thought. No. This is obviously not-fucking-Angela. Angela is a real estate agent in my hometown. I'd obviously know if she lived in Iceland lol. Right? I don't really use social media but the odd time I do, she'll pop up here and there. But I guess not enough for me to *confirm* she still lived in my hometown.
But anyway, she looked enough like Angela that I went right up to the cash register and rang the little bell and the guy came back out and when he opened the door I was able to get another look at her, and my heart skidded. A chill spread across my crown. It was one hundred percent Angela. Like, my full-on cousin. So, looking over the guys' shoulder, RIGHT AT ANGELA, I smile and say, "Angela!! Oh my god!!" and before she could respond, the door shut again.
And the guy at the cash smiled really big, a nice, friendly, smile and he looked surprised as well, and pointed back over his shoulder and then at me, as if to say, "you two know each other?!" which confirmed for me that her name was Angela, because he seemed really delighted at the coincidence. Expecting her to emerge from the kitchen, I walked around to behind the cash register (the invitation was implied by the guy) and he put his arm back to open the door for me, or for Angela, whom we both expected to be making her way over to me, too.
When he opened the door, she was head-down again, chopping vegetables. I walked through the door and said, "Angela? Angela!" smiling, thinking she hadn't seen me yet or realized who I was, all context considered. She looked up at me, and then quickly, as though avoiding my eyes, looked down. "Hey", she said, quietly, at the cutting board.
WHAT THE FUCK WAS GOING ON? Before I could ask anything, she said, "I'm really sorry, okay?"
What?
She repeated herself and then continued: "I'm really sorry okay? But we can't talk".
I actually, like, had no clue what was happening. I was looking into the eyes of my cousin whom I hadn't seen in forever in some random fucking shack in Iceland and she was acting skittish and afraid. I opened my mouth to protest and she said, "I need you to leave," then she called the guy's name and said something to him in Icelandic. She can speak Icelandic??!
The guy came in, his demeanour totally different. Almost like he was a bouncer. He gestured to my coffee and toast that were ready to go, took them in his hands and ushered me out of the kitchen and I could tell I no longer was welcome. Either I wasn't welcome or I was in danger, or both. It felt more like the former. And I don't think the guy had any idea what was going on, either. I think she must have said something to him like "I don't know this person, this person is crazy" or something. That's how he was acting toward me.
I got in my car, I drove five minutes down the road, and pulled over. I miraculously had service and I called my mom and told her everything. She kind of just laughed at me and was like "Many-Patient2894, that obviously wasn't Angela". And joked about me making some poor Icelandic woman feel extremely weird.

But then I kept coming back to, but wait, this person was Angela. Her name, her body, her face, like I just didn't know what to do.

Exhausted. Not thinking about Angela at all. Thinking about my laundry, my bills, what I'm going to make for dinner. The traffic is bad and it's a miserable day outside.

- Chef Tally's - I've binge eaten at least 50+ jamaican restaurants, and while this isn't your typical traditional jamaican spot, this is hands down one of my favorite places in south Florida. I dream about the chicken here. It's always a candidate for my "what should I eat this weekend" thoughts.
- Mila Sunday Brunch - $95 for all you can eat cinco jota jamon iberico, black caviar, and a ton of other creatively prepared dishes. I've had a few of the other brunchs in south florida, like edge, novikov, etc. but this one gets the thumbs up because they actually have more unique spreads and appetizers. Pro tip, they have a cheese wheel pasta and mojito station outside. Did I mention the price includes unlimited champagne and rose?
- Palacio de los Jugos - this is a staple of south florida cuisine. I might get some flack for having this on my list, but amongst all the cuban and latin spots I've been to across Hialeah and Miami, I always find myself back here grabbing a meal for like $7 and juice for $3!
- Stubborn Seed - I haven't gone since they've gotten their Michelin Star, but I used to frequent this place. What sets the tasting menu at stubborn seed apart in my opinion is the almagamation of dish pacing, food sourcing/creativity, and lineup of ingredients. I don't think there's a singular dish that really sets this restaurant apart from the rest of the modern fine dining options, but more so a extremely well presented and curated dining experience.
- Anita Gelato. This spot recently opened in Aventura coming from NYC. It's not a super traditional italian/argentiniam gelato, but the flavor combinations are the best I've ever had. And it's not too sweet. My favorite ice cream/froyo/gelato spot amongst the hundreds I've been to in SoFlo.

- Chef Tally's - I've binge eaten at least 50+ jamaican restaurants, and while this isn't your typical traditional jamaican spot, this is hands down one of my favorite places in south Florida. I dream about the chicken here. It's always a candidate for my "what should I eat this weekend" thoughts.
- Mila Sunday Brunch - $95 for all you can eat cinco jota jamon iberico, black caviar, and a ton of other creatively prepared dishes. I've had a few of the other brunchs in south florida, like edge, novikov, etc. but this one gets the thumbs up because they actually have more unique spreads and appetizers. Pro tip, they have a cheese wheel pasta and mojito station outside. Did I mention the price includes unlimited champagne and rose?
- Palacio de los Jugos - this is a staple of south florida cuisine. I might get some flack for having this on my list, but amongst all the cuban and latin spots I've been to across Hialeah and Miami, I always find myself back here grabbing a meal for like $7 and juice for $3!
- Stubborn Seed - I haven't gone since they've gotten their Michelin Star, but I used to frequent this place. What sets the tasting menu at stubborn seed apart in my opinion is the almagamation of dish pacing, food sourcing/creativity, and lineup of ingredients. I don't think there's a singular dish that really sets this restaurant apart from the rest of the modern fine dining options, but more so a extremely well presented and curated dining experience.
- Anita Gelato. This spot recently opened in Aventura coming from NYC. It's not a super traditional italian/argentiniam gelato, but the flavor combinations are the best I've ever had. And it's not too sweet. My favorite ice cream/froyo/gelato spot amongst the hundreds I've been to in SoFlo.

2024.05.12 19:39 sinomaltanews "英國脫歐後英國食品在亞洲的滯銷
"英國脫歐後英國食品在亞洲的滯銷
在亞洲，討論食物就像討論天氣一樣——人們可以聊上好幾個小時。
但當英國廣播公司 (BBC) 最近參觀該地區領先的美食和飲料活動之一時，我們發現，有些美食甚至讓美食家也啞口無言。
“英國菜？”一位泰國婦女疑惑地停頓了一下問。 「嗯……我不太確定那是什麼。那是香腸之類的東西嗎？
附近的一名馬來西亞男子毫不猶豫地發表了自己的看法：「這很無聊！絕對沒有什麼特別的，」他笑著說。
對於英國出口商來說，這些話是發人深省的，他們被承諾在脫歐後可以輕鬆進入利潤豐厚的新市場。
舉個例子，前國際貿易大臣利茲·特拉斯（Liz Truss）在 2021 年告訴英國食品生產商，他們有一個“黃金機會”，可以讓英國食品“躋身全球食品菜單之首”。
現實情況是，英國在銷售額和聲譽方面仍然遠遠落後於歐洲主要同業。
「教育人們是一項艱鉅的工作，」起司出口商薩默代爾國際公司的董事總經理史蒂芬瓊斯說。
他在新加坡 FHA 食品和飲料貿易展上的攤位上，向當地人介紹了一些聽起來很奇怪的奶酪，例如臭主教奶酪、雙格洛斯特奶酪和溫斯利代爾奶酪。
「法國人、瑞士人、義大利人——他們這樣做的時間比我們長得多。我們來得相當晚才傳達這一訊息，」他補充道。
看到成群結隊的東南亞遊客第一次嘗試並喜歡溫斯利代爾，肯定會讓人微笑。但與即將到來的意大利令人驚嘆的展覽相比，英國的小展館顯得相形見絀。
在那裡，您會看到米其林星級廚師進行現場烹飪演示，而義大利廚藝大師大賽的獲勝者則與該國大使閒聊。對義大利來說，向亞洲出售食品不僅有利於其經濟，而且長期以來一直是一種外交行為。
自去年起擔任義大利駐新加坡和文萊大使的但丁·布蘭迪 (Dante Brandi) 表示：“做這類事情是工作的重要組成部分。”
史蒂芬瓊斯 (Stephen Jones)，起司出口商薩默代爾國際 (Somerdale International) 董事總經理
史蒂芬瓊斯在食品博覽會上與參觀者聊天，他說這是一項“教育人們的艱鉅工作”
布蘭迪先生在義大利三色旗和義大利外交部的標誌下接受英國廣播公司採訪時解釋了貿易展覽如何成為政府機構的一部分。
“這是我們所謂的‘Sistema Italia’的整體努力”，他說。 “這些機構都旨在推廣我們的食品、美食和生活方式，我們透過我們在世界各地的外交和領事網絡進行傳播。”
然而，顯然這種成功並非一蹴可幾。例如，節日糕點現在已成為新加坡超市的聖誕必備品。但最初將這種節日美食引入東南亞的女士表示，花了「數年的活動、品嚐和促銷」才最終將其推上這裡的貨架。
新加坡義大利熟食店 Jupiter 57 的朱塞皮娜·普拉瓦托 (Giuseppina Pravato) 表示：“食品顯然是義大利的主要出口產品，也是義大利人引以為傲的東西。”
「我們與義大利機構關係非常融洽，但 20 年前，基本上只有我一個人帶來數百件義大利節日糕點，然後將它們作為禮物送給願意嘗試的人，」她補充道。
英國和義大利之間的鴻溝並不令人意外。在很大程度上，這是一個長期問題，早於英國脫歐或現任英國政府，並涉及一個國家的基本經濟優先事項。
去年，義大利向全球出口了價值超過 644 億歐元（554 億英鎊；691 億美元）的食品和飲料，而英國則出口了 244 億英鎊（305 億美元）。當你將這些數字視為國內生產毛額 (GDP) 的比例時，你會發現出口食品和飲料對義大利經濟的價值大約是英國經濟的三倍。
大多數英國食品出口商似乎對自己在全球食品市場中的地位持務實的看法。許多人認為，問題在於政府在改變局勢方面沒有採取足夠的行動來兌現其言論。

事實上，駐新加坡的英國代表團告訴英國廣播公司，他們之所以能夠參加，是因為他們自掏腰包。
「自 2019 年以來，我們沒有收到任何政府資金來幫助我們參加此類展會，」食品和飲料出口商協會的 Karen Beston 說。
她補充說：“這使得我們很難在幾乎完全由各自政府資助的其他歐洲集團或其他世界集團中脫穎而出。”
當 BBC 向英國政府提出這個問題時，環境、食品和農村事務部 (Defra) 表示：「促進我們農民和食品生產商的利益是我們貿易政策的首要任務」。
Defra 也指出，儘管供應商沒有收到任何直接的公共資金來幫助他們參加貿易展覽，但去年它花費了 160 萬英鎊用於促進英國食品銷售的活動，例如品嚐和交流機會。
目前，英國向亞洲出口了價值35 億英鎊（44 億美元）的食品和飲料，自2019 年以來增長了18%。 。
但同期，義大利對亞洲的出口成長了 36%，達到 61 億歐元（52 億英鎊；66 億美元）。
「擁有一個支持性的政府絕對重要，」義大利大使布蘭迪說。
「但我們與其他歐盟國家一樣享有的一個主要優勢是我們與許多重要的亞洲國家簽訂的自由貿易協定，」他補充道。
儘管如此，英國脫歐後，英國生產商確實存在一個機會（無論是否是黃金機會）。
超過 60,000 人參觀了今年在新加坡舉行的活動。分析師估計，到下一個十年之初，亞洲人每年在食品上的支出將達到 8 兆美元。
新加坡 Spire Research and Consulting 首席營運長 Japnit Singh 表示：“潛力巨大。”
「幾年前，這裡非常以當地美食為中心。我曾經說過這永遠不會改變，但我錯了。我們看到了習慣的轉變——人們想吃西餐，並且願意為此付費，」他補充道。
辛格表示，收入的增加、旅行的增加以及最重要的是社群媒體使亞洲人的口味變得越來越冒險。
薩默代爾國際 薩默代爾起司。
英國乳酪製造商熱衷於將產品出口到亞洲
追逐這一市場是英國政府脫歐後貿易策略的核心。去年，英國簽署了加入全面且先進的跨太平洋夥伴關係協定（CPTPP）的協議，這是11個國家之間的自由貿易協定。
當時，英國首相里希·蘇納克 (Rishi Sunak) 稱讚它展示了「英國脫歐後自由所帶來的真正經濟利益」。
然而，政府自己的估計稱，該協議在十年內只會使英國經濟規模增加0.08%。此外，除馬來西亞和汶萊外，中國已與CPTPP所有國家簽訂了自由貿易協定。
儘管英國食品出口商被引導到亞洲等地區發展，但目前的現實是歐盟市場仍然大四倍。
問題在於，與歐洲國家的貿易現在越來越充滿英國脫歐後的問題。最近的一項估計顯示，去年出口商的額外繁文縟節成本為 5800 萬英鎊。
「由於所有新規定，我們向中國銷售產品實際上比向法國銷售更容易——這太瘋狂了，」薩默代爾國際公司的瓊斯先生說。
英國政府堅稱正在著眼於更長期的前景。去年，國際貿易部長凱米·巴德諾克告訴英國廣播公司，這些新市場不會“取代歐盟貿易”，而是“補充”歐盟貿易。
「你不會購買一家小公司並期望它能夠在同一天交付 - 我們正在考慮潛力，」她補充道。
談到潛力，來自薩默代爾國際公司的瓊斯先生表示同意：“英國國旗實際上在國外享有很高的聲譽和食品安全，這在中國尤其重要。”
在品嚐了他的起司後，之前持懷疑態度的泰國賭客豎起了大拇指。對瓊斯先生來說，這都是教育過程的一部分——一次溫斯利代爾的一部分。

"英国脱欧后英国食品在亚洲的滞销
在亚洲，讨论食物就像讨论天气一样——人们可以聊上几个小时。
但当英国广播公司 (BBC) 最近参观该地区领先的美食和饮料活动之一时，我们发现，有些美食甚至让美食家也哑口无言。
“英国菜？”一位泰国妇女疑惑地停顿了一下问道。 “嗯……我不太确定那是什么。那是香肠之类的东西吗？”
附近的一名马来西亚男子毫不犹豫地发表了自己的看法：“这很无聊！绝对没有什么特别的，”他笑着说。
对于英国出口商来说，这些话是发人深省的，他们被承诺在脱欧后可以轻松进入利润丰厚的新市场。
举个例子，前国际贸易大臣利兹·特拉斯（Liz Truss）在 2021 年告诉英国食品生产商，他们有一个“黄金机会”，可以让英国食品“跻身全球食品菜单之首”。
现实情况是，英国在销售额和声誉方面仍然远远落后于欧洲主要同行。
“教育人们是一项艰巨的工作，”奶酪出口商萨默代尔国际公司的董事总经理斯蒂芬·琼斯说。
他在新加坡 FHA 食品和饮料贸易展上的摊位上，向当地人介绍了一些听起来很奇怪的奶酪，例如臭主教奶酪、双格洛斯特奶酪和温斯利代尔奶酪。
“法国人、瑞士人、意大利人——他们这样做的时间比我们长得多。我们来得相当晚才传达这一信息，”他补充道。
看到成群结队的东南亚游客第一次尝试并喜欢温斯利代尔，肯定会让人微笑。但与即将到来的意大利令人惊叹的展览相比，英国的小展馆显得相形见绌。
在那里，您会看到米其林星级厨师进行现场烹饪演示，而意大利厨艺大师大赛的获胜者则与该国大使闲聊。对于意大利来说，向亚洲出售食品不仅有利于其经济，而且长期以来一直是一种外交行为。
自去年起担任意大利驻新加坡和文莱大使的但丁·布兰迪 (Dante Brandi) 表示：“做这类事情是工作的重要组成部分。”
斯蒂芬·琼斯 (Stephen Jones)，奶酪出口商萨默代尔国际 (Somerdale International) 董事总经理
斯蒂芬·琼斯在食品博览会上与参观者聊天，他说这是一项“教育人们的艰巨工作”
布兰迪先生在意大利三色旗和意大利外交部的标志下接受英国广播公司采访时解释了贸易展览如何成为政府机构的一部分。
“这是我们所谓的‘Sistema Italia’的整体努力”，他说。 “这些机构都旨在推广我们的食品、美食和生活方式，我们通过我们在世界各地的外交和领事网络进行传播。”
然而，显然这种成功并非一蹴而就。例如，节日糕点现在已成为新加坡超市的圣诞必备品。但最初将这种节日美食引入东南亚的女士表示，花了“数年的活动、品尝和促销”才最终将其推上这里的货架。
新加坡意大利熟食店 Jupiter 57 的朱塞皮娜·普拉瓦托 (Giuseppina Pravato) 表示：“食品显然是意大利的主要出口产品，也是意大利人引以为傲的东西。”
“我们与意大利机构关系非常融洽，但 20 年前，基本上只有我一个人带来数百件意大利节日糕点，然后将它们作为礼物送给愿意尝试的人，”她补充道。
英国和意大利之间的鸿沟并不令人意外。在很大程度上，这是一个长期问题，早于英国脱欧或现任英国政府，并且涉及一个国家的基本经济优先事项。
去年，意大利向全球出口了价值超过 644 亿欧元（554 亿英镑；691 亿美元）的食品和饮料，而英国则出口了 244 亿英镑（305 亿美元）。当你将这些数字视为国内生产总值 (GDP) 的比例时，就会发现出口食品和饮料对意大利经济的价值大约是英国经济的三倍。
大多数英国食品出口商似乎对自己在全球食品市场中的地位持务实的看法。许多人认为，问题在于政府在改变局势方面没有采取足够的行动来兑现其言论。

事实上，驻新加坡的英国代表团告诉英国广播公司，他们之所以能够参加，是因为他们自掏腰包。
“自 2019 年以来，我们没有收到任何政府资金来帮助我们参加此类展会，”食品和饮料出口商协会的凯伦·贝斯顿 (Karen Beston) 说。
她补充道：“这使得我们很难在几乎完全由各自政府资助的其他欧洲集团或其他世界集团中脱颖而出。”
当 BBC 向英国政府提出这一问题时，环境、食品和农村事务部 (Defra) 表示：“促进我们农民和食品生产商的利益是我们贸易政策的首要任务”。
Defra 还指出，尽管供应商没有收到任何直接的公共资金来帮助他们参加贸易展览，但去年它花费了 160 万英镑用于促进英国食品销售的活动，例如品尝和交流机会。
目前，英国向亚洲出口了价值 35 亿英镑（44 亿美元）的食品和饮料，自 2019 年以来增长了 18%。英国部长们会说，这证明英国作为“独立贸易国家”的地位已经得到提升。自离开欧盟以来，该国的企业受益。
但同期，意大利对亚洲的出口增长了 36%，达到 61 亿欧元（52 亿英镑；66 亿美元）。
“拥有一个支持性的政府绝对重要，”意大利大使布兰迪说。
“但我们与其他欧盟国家一样享有的一个主要优势是我们与许多重要的亚洲国家签订的自由贸易协定，”他补充道。
尽管如此，英国脱欧后，英国生产商确实存在一个机会（无论是否是黄金机会）。
超过 60,000 人参观了今年在新加坡举行的活动。分析师估计，到下一个十年之初，亚洲人每年在食品上的支出将达到 8 万亿美元。
新加坡 Spire Research and Consulting 首席运营官贾普尼特·辛格 (Japnit Singh) 表示：“潜力巨大。”
“几年前，这里非常以当地美食为中心。我曾经说过这永远不会改变，但我错了。我们看到了习惯的转变——人们想吃西餐，并且愿意为此付费，”他补充道。
辛格表示，收入的增加、旅行的增加以及最重要的是社交媒体使亚洲人的口味变得越来越冒险。

追逐这一市场是英国政府脱欧后贸易战略的核心。去年，英国签署了加入全面且先进的跨太平洋伙伴关系协定（CPTPP）的协议，这是11个国家之间的自由贸易协定。
当时，英国首相里希·苏纳克 (Rishi Sunak) 称赞它展示了“英国脱欧后自由所带来的真正经济利益”。
然而，政府自己的估计称，该协议在十年内只会使英国经济规模增加0.08%。此外，除马来西亚和文莱外，中国已与CPTPP所有国家签订了自由贸易协定。
尽管英国食品出口商被引导向亚洲等地区发展，但目前的现实是欧盟市场仍然大四倍。
问题在于，与欧洲国家的贸易现在越来越充满英国脱欧后的问题。最近的一项估计显示，去年出口商的额外繁文缛节成本为 5800 万英镑。
“由于所有新规定，我们向中国销售产品实际上比向法国销售更容易——这太疯狂了，”萨默代尔国际公司的琼斯先生说。
英国政府坚称正在着眼于更长期的前景。去年，国际贸易部长凯米·巴德诺克告诉英国广播公司，这些新市场不会“取代欧盟贸易”，而是“补充”欧盟贸易。
“你不会购买一家小公司并期望它能够在同一天交付 - 我们正在考虑潜力，”她补充道。
谈到潜力，来自萨默代尔国际公司的琼斯先生表示同意：“英国国旗实际上在国外享有很高的声誉和食品安全，这在中国尤其重要。”
在品尝了他的奶酪后，之前持怀疑态度的泰国赌客竖起了大拇指。对于琼斯先生来说，这都是教育过程的一部分——一次温斯利代尔的一部分。

"Il-bejgħ iebes ta’ wara l-Brexit għall-ikel Brittaniku fl-Asja
Fl-Asja, tiddiskuti l-ikel hija bħal tiddiskuti t-temp - jista 'jwassal lin-nies jitkellmu għal sigħat.
Iżda meta l-BBC reċentement żar wieħed mill-avvenimenti ewlenin tal-ikel u x-xorb tar-reġjun, deher ċar li hemm xi kċejjen li jħallu anke lil dawk li jsejħu l-ikel bla kliem.
""Ikel Ingliż?"" tistaqsi waħda Tajlandiża b’pawsa mħawda. ""Um... M'inix ċert x'inhu dak. Dan hu bħal zalzett?”
Raġel Malasjan fil-viċin kien inqas lura milli joffri l-opinjoni tiegħu: “Huwa boring! Żgur xejn speċjali,” jidħaq.
Dawn huma kliem li jqawwi l-moħħ għall-esportaturi Brittaniċi, li ġew imwiegħda aċċess faċli għal swieq ġodda li jrendu wara l-Brexit.
Fl-2021, biex nagħti eżempju wieħed, l-eks Segretarju tal-Kummerċ Internazzjonali Liz Truss qalet lill-produtturi tal-ikel tar-Renju Unit li kellhom ""opportunità tad-deheb"" biex l-ikel Brittaniku ""fil-quċċata tal-menu tal-ikel globali"".
Ir-realtà hi li r-Renju Unit għadu lura ferm wara l-kontropartijiet Ewropej ewlenin tiegħu, kemm f’termini ta’ bejgħ kif ukoll ta’ reputazzjoni.
""Huwa xogħol enormi li jeduka lin-nies,"" jgħid Stephen Jones, direttur maniġerjali tal-esportaturi tal-ġobon Somerdale International.
Mill-post tiegħu fil-FHA Food and Beverage Trade Show f'Singapore, huwa jintroduċi lin-nies tal-lokal għal ġobnijiet ta 'ħoss stramb bħal Stinking Bishop, Double Gloucester u Wensleydale.
“Il-Franċiżi, l-Iżvizzeri, it-Taljani - ilhom jagħmluha ħafna itwal milli għandna. Qed nidħlu pjuttost tard biex inwasslu dak il-messaġġ,” żied jgħid.
Li tara gruppi ta' viżitaturi tal-Asja tax-Xlokk jippruvaw - u jogħġbu - Wensleydale għall-ewwel darba ċertament tqajjem tbissima. Iżda l-pavaljun żgħir tar-Renju Unit huwa mxejjen mill-wiri tal-Italja li jwaqqaf l-ispettaklu, li jinsab l-kantuniera.
Hemmhekk issib koki bi stilla Michelin jagħtu dimostrazzjonijiet ta’ tisjir ħajjin, filwaqt li r-rebbieħa tal-MasterChef Taljana titkellem mal-ambaxxatur ta’ pajjiżha. Għall-Italja, minbarra li huwa tajjeb għall-ekonomija tagħha, il-bejgħ tal-ikel lill-Asja ilu żmien twil att ta’ diplomazija.
""Li tagħmel dan it-tip ta 'affarijiet hija parti kbira tax-xogħol,"" jgħid Dante Brandi, li ilu l-ambaxxatur Taljan għal Singapor u l-Brunej mis-sena li għaddiet.
Stephen Jones, direttur maniġerjali tal-esportaturi tal-ġobon Somerdale International
Stephen Jones, hawn iċċettja mal-viżitaturi fil-fiera tal-ikel, jgħid li huwa ""xogħol massiv li jeduka lin-nies""
Meta tkellem mal-BBC taħt tricolor Taljan u l-logo tal-Ministeru tal-Affarijiet Barranin ta’ pajjiżu, is-Sur Brandi jispjega kif il-wirjiet kummerċjali jiffurmaw parti mill-makkinarju tal-gvern.
""Huwa sforz ġenerali minn dak li nsejħu 'Sistema Italia'"", jgħid. ""Il-grupp ta' istituzzjonijiet kollha kellhom l-għan li jippromwovu l-ikel, il-gastronomija u l-istil ta' ħajja tagħna, li nxerrdu permezz tan-netwerk diplomatiku u konsulari tagħna madwar id-dinja kollha.""
Madankollu, huwa ċar li dan it-tip ta 'suċċess ma jintlaħaqx mil-lum għal għada. Pereżempju, il-panettone issa huwa apparat tal-Milied fis-supermarkits ta’ Singapor. Iżda l-mara li oriġinarjament introduċiet it-trattament tal-festi fix-Xlokk tal-Asja tgħid li ħadu ""snin ta 'attivitajiet, tidwiq u promozzjonijiet"" biex eventwalment daħħalha fuq l-ixkafef hawn.
""L-ikel huwa ovvjament esportazzjoni ewlenija għall-Italja u xi ħaġa li t-Taljani huma kburin ħafna biha,"" tgħid Giuseppina Pravato minn Jupiter 57, delicatessen Taljana f'Singapore.
""Għandna rapport kbir mal-istituzzjonijiet Taljani, iżda 20 sena ilu kont bażikament jien biss, li ndaħħal mijiet ta 'biċċiet ta' panettone u litteralment tajthom b'rigal lil min jipprovah,"" żżid.
Il-golf bejn il-Gran Brittanja u, f’dan il-każ, l-Italja m’għandux ikun sorpriża. Fil-biċċa l-kbira, din hija kwistjoni fit-tul, li hija qabel il-Brexit jew il-gvern attwali tar-Renju Unit, u titkellem dwar il-prijoritajiet ekonomiċi fundamentali ta’ pajjiż.
Is-sena l-oħra l-Italja esportat aktar minn €64.4bn (£55.4bn; $69.1bn) f'ikel u xorb globalment, filwaqt li r-Renju Unit biegħ £24.4bn ($30.5bn). Meta tħares lejn dawn in-numri bħala proporzjon tal-prodott gross domestiku (PGD), l-esportazzjoni tal-ikel u x-xorb hija madwar tliet darbiet aktar siewja għall-ekonomija Taljana milli hija għall-Gran Brittanja.
Il-biċċa l-kbira tal-esportaturi tal-ikel Brittaniċi jidhru li jieħdu ħsieb prammatiku ta 'fejn jinsabu fis-suq tal-ikel globali. Il-kwistjoni, ħafna jargumentaw, hija li l-gvern mhux qed jagħmel biżżejjed biex jaqbel mar-retorika tiegħu meta jiġi biex ibiddel is-sitwazzjoni.

Wirja Ingliża f’wirja tal-ikel f’Singapore
Fil-fatt, id-delegazzjoni tar-Renju Unit f’Singapore qalet lill-BBC li setgħu jattendu biss għax ħallsu minn buthom.
""Sa mill-2019, ma rċevejna l-ebda flus tal-gvern biex jgħinuna naslu għal dawn it-tipi ta 'wirjiet,"" tgħid Karen Beston mill-Assoċjazzjoni tal-Esportaturi tal-Ikel u x-Xorb.
""Jagħmel diffiċli ħafna li tispikka kontra l-gruppi Ewropej l-oħra jew gruppi dinjija oħra li huma kważi ffinanzjati bis-sħiħ mill-gvernijiet rispettivi tagħhom,"" żżid hi.
Meta dan tressaq lill-gvern tar-Renju Unit mill-BBC, id-Dipartiment għall-Ambjent, l-Ikel u l-Affarijiet Rurali (Defra) qal: ""Il-promozzjoni tal-interessi tal-bdiewa u l-produtturi tal-ikel tagħna hija prijorità tal-politika kummerċjali tagħna"".
Defra irrimarkat ukoll li – għalkemm il-fornituri ma jirċievu l-ebda flus pubbliċi diretti biex jgħinuhom jattendu wirjiet kummerċjali – is-sena li għaddiet nefqet £1.6m f’avvenimenti biex jippromwovi l-bejgħ ta’ ikel Brittaniku, bħal tastings u opportunitajiet ta’ networking.
Bħalissa, ir-Renju Unit jesporta ikel u xorb b'valur ta' £3.5bn ($4.4bn) lejn l-Asja, li hija żieda ta' 18% mill-2019. Din hija prova, jgħidu l-ministri Brittaniċi, li l-istatus tal-Gran Brittanja bħala ""nazzjon kummerċjali indipendenti"" għandu ibbenefika lin-negozji tal-pajji] minn meta [alla mill-Unjoni Ewropea.
Iżda f’dak l-istess perjodu, l-esportazzjonijiet tal-Italja lejn l-Asja kibru b’36% għal €6.1bn (£5.2bn; $6.6bn).
""Li jkollok gvern ta' appoġġ huwa żgur importanti,"" jgħid l-Ambaxxatur tal-Italja Brandi.
""Iżda vantaġġ kbir li ngawdu, flimkien ma 'stati oħra tal-UE, huwa l-ftehimiet ta' kummerċ ħieles li għandna ma 'ħafna pajjiżi Asjatiċi importanti,"" huwa jżid.
Madankollu opportunità - kemm jekk tad-deheb jew le - teżisti għall-produtturi Brittaniċi fid-dawl tal-Brexit.
Aktar minn 60,000 ruħ żaru l-avveniment ta’ din is-sena f’Singapore. Sal-bidu tad-deċennju li ġej, l-analisti jistmaw li n-nies fl-Asja se jonfqu $8tn kull sena fuq l-ikel.
""Il-potenzjal huwa enormi,"" tgħid Japnit Singh, uffiċjal kap operattiv fi Spire Research and Consulting f'Singapor.
“Ftit snin ilu, hawn kien iċċentrat ħafna fuq l-ikel lokali. Kont ngħid li qatt ma kien se jinbidel, imma kont żbaljat. Qed naraw trasformazzjoni fid-drawwiet – in-nies iridu jieklu ikel tal-Punent u lesti jħallsu għalih,” iżid.
Skont is-Sur Singh, iż-żieda fid-dħul, iż-żieda fl-ivvjaġġar u - b'mod kruċjali - il-midja soċjali għenu biex il-palat Asjatiku jsir dejjem aktar avventuruż.
Somerdale International Ġobon Somerdale.Somerdale International
Il-produtturi tal-ġobon Brittaniċi huma ħerqana li jesportaw il-prodotti tagħhom lejn l-Asja
It-tfittxija għal dan is-suq hija fiċ-ċentru tal-istrateġija kummerċjali tal-gvern tar-Renju Unit wara l-Brexit. Is-sena li għaddiet, il-Gran Brittanja ffirmat ftehim biex tingħaqad mal-Ftehim Komprensiv u Progressiv għal Sħubija Trans-Paċifiku (CPTPP), li huwa ftehim ta 'kummerċ ħieles bejn 11-il pajjiż.
Dak iż-żmien, il-Prim Ministru tar-Renju Unit Rishi Sunak faħħarha bħala turija tal-“benefiċċji ekonomiċi reali tal-libertajiet tagħna ta’ wara l-Brexit.”
Madankollu, l-istimi tal-gvern stess jgħidu li l-ftehim se jżid biss 0.08% mad-daqs tal-ekonomija tar-Renju Unit fuq għaxar snin. Barra minn hekk, diġà kellha ftehimiet ta' kummerċ ħieles mal-pajjiżi kollha fis-CPTPP, ħlief il-Malasja u l-Brunej.
Għalkemm l-esportaturi tal-ikel tar-Renju Unit qed jiġu ggwidati lejn reġjuni bħall-Asja, ir-realtà attwali hija li s-suq tal-UE għadu erba' darbiet akbar.
Il-problema hija li l-kummerċ mal-pajjiżi Ewropej issa qiegħed dejjem aktar mimli kwistjonijiet ta’ wara l-Brexit. Stima waħda reċenti poġġiet l-ispejjeż addizzjonali tal-burokrazija għal £58 miljun għall-esportaturi s-sena li għaddiet.
""Minħabba r-regolamenti l-ġodda kollha, fil-fatt huwa aktar faċli għalina li nbiegħu liċ-Ċina milli lil Franza - li huwa miġnun,"" jgħid is-Sur Jones minn Somerdale International.
Il-gvern tar-Renju Unit jinsisti li qed iħares lejn l-istampa fit-tul. Is-sena li għaddiet, is-Segretarju tal-Kummerċ Internazzjonali Kemi Badenoch qal lill-BBC li dawn is-swieq il-ġodda mhux se ""jissostitwixxu l-kummerċ tal-UE"", iżda pjuttost li kienu ""b'żieda"" miegħu.
""Ma tkunx tixtri kumpanija żgħira u tistenna li tkun qed twassal fl-istess jum - qed naħsbu dwar il-potenzjal,"" żiedet tgħid.
F'dak li għandu x'jaqsam mal-potenzjal, is-Sur Jones minn Somerdale International jaqbel: ""L-Union Jack fil-fatt għandu reputazzjoni deċenti barra l-pajjiż fejn jidħlu prestiġju u sikurezza tal-ikel, li hija speċjalment importanti fiċ-Ċina.""
Wara li daq il-ġobon tiegħu, il-punter Tajlandiż xettiku ta' qabel irritorna thumbs up ta' approvazzjoni. Għas-Sur Jones, dan kollu huwa parti mill-proċess edukattiv - biċċa waħda minn Wensleydale kull darba.

在亞洲，討論食物就像討論天氣一樣——人們可以聊上好幾個小時。
但當英國廣播公司 (BBC) 最近參觀該地區領先的美食和飲料活動之一時，我們發現，有些美食甚至讓美食家也啞口無言。
“英國菜？”一位泰國婦女疑惑地停頓了一下問。 「嗯……我不太確定那是什麼。那是香腸之類的東西嗎？
附近的一名馬來西亞男子毫不猶豫地發表了自己的看法：「這很無聊！絕對沒有什麼特別的，」他笑著說。
對於英國出口商來說，這些話是發人深省的，他們被承諾在脫歐後可以輕鬆進入利潤豐厚的新市場。
舉個例子，前國際貿易大臣利茲·特拉斯（Liz Truss）在 2021 年告訴英國食品生產商，他們有一個“黃金機會”，可以讓英國食品“躋身全球食品菜單之首”。
現實情況是，英國在銷售額和聲譽方面仍然遠遠落後於歐洲主要同業。
「教育人們是一項艱鉅的工作，」起司出口商薩默代爾國際公司的董事總經理史蒂芬瓊斯說。
他在新加坡 FHA 食品和飲料貿易展上的攤位上，向當地人介紹了一些聽起來很奇怪的奶酪，例如臭主教奶酪、雙格洛斯特奶酪和溫斯利代爾奶酪。
「法國人、瑞士人、義大利人——他們這樣做的時間比我們長得多。我們來得相當晚才傳達這一訊息，」他補充道。
看到成群結隊的東南亞遊客第一次嘗試並喜歡溫斯利代爾，肯定會讓人微笑。但與即將到來的意大利令人驚嘆的展覽相比，英國的小展館顯得相形見絀。
在那裡，您會看到米其林星級廚師進行現場烹飪演示，而義大利廚藝大師大賽的獲勝者則與該國大使閒聊。對義大利來說，向亞洲出售食品不僅有利於其經濟，而且長期以來一直是一種外交行為。
自去年起擔任義大利駐新加坡和文萊大使的但丁·布蘭迪 (Dante Brandi) 表示：“做這類事情是工作的重要組成部分。”
史蒂芬瓊斯 (Stephen Jones)，起司出口商薩默代爾國際 (Somerdale International) 董事總經理
史蒂芬瓊斯在食品博覽會上與參觀者聊天，他說這是一項“教育人們的艱鉅工作”
布蘭迪先生在義大利三色旗和義大利外交部的標誌下接受英國廣播公司採訪時解釋了貿易展覽如何成為政府機構的一部分。
“這是我們所謂的‘Sistema Italia’的整體努力”，他說。 “這些機構都旨在推廣我們的食品、美食和生活方式，我們透過我們在世界各地的外交和領事網絡進行傳播。”
然而，顯然這種成功並非一蹴可幾。例如，節日糕點現在已成為新加坡超市的聖誕必備品。但最初將這種節日美食引入東南亞的女士表示，花了「數年的活動、品嚐和促銷」才最終將其推上這裡的貨架。
新加坡義大利熟食店 Jupiter 57 的朱塞皮娜·普拉瓦托 (Giuseppina Pravato) 表示：“食品顯然是義大利的主要出口產品，也是義大利人引以為傲的東西。”
「我們與義大利機構關係非常融洽，但 20 年前，基本上只有我一個人帶來數百件義大利節日糕點，然後將它們作為禮物送給願意嘗試的人，」她補充道。
英國和義大利之間的鴻溝並不令人意外。在很大程度上，這是一個長期問題，早於英國脫歐或現任英國政府，並涉及一個國家的基本經濟優先事項。
去年，義大利向全球出口了價值超過 644 億歐元（554 億英鎊；691 億美元）的食品和飲料，而英國則出口了 244 億英鎊（305 億美元）。當你將這些數字視為國內生產毛額 (GDP) 的比例時，你會發現出口食品和飲料對義大利經濟的價值大約是英國經濟的三倍。
大多數英國食品出口商似乎對自己在全球食品市場中的地位持務實的看法。許多人認為，問題在於政府在改變局勢方面沒有採取足夠的行動來兌現其言論。

事實上，駐新加坡的英國代表團告訴英國廣播公司，他們之所以能夠參加，是因為他們自掏腰包。
「自 2019 年以來，我們沒有收到任何政府資金來幫助我們參加此類展會，」食品和飲料出口商協會的 Karen Beston 說。
她補充說：“這使得我們很難在幾乎完全由各自政府資助的其他歐洲集團或其他世界集團中脫穎而出。”
當 BBC 向英國政府提出這個問題時，環境、食品和農村事務部 (Defra) 表示：「促進我們農民和食品生產商的利益是我們貿易政策的首要任務」。
Defra 也指出，儘管供應商沒有收到任何直接的公共資金來幫助他們參加貿易展覽，但去年它花費了 160 萬英鎊用於促進英國食品銷售的活動，例如品嚐和交流機會。
目前，英國向亞洲出口了價值35 億英鎊（44 億美元）的食品和飲料，自2019 年以來增長了18%。 。
但同期，義大利對亞洲的出口成長了 36%，達到 61 億歐元（52 億英鎊；66 億美元）。
「擁有一個支持性的政府絕對重要，」義大利大使布蘭迪說。
「但我們與其他歐盟國家一樣享有的一個主要優勢是我們與許多重要的亞洲國家簽訂的自由貿易協定，」他補充道。
儘管如此，英國脫歐後，英國生產商確實存在一個機會（無論是否是黃金機會）。
超過 60,000 人參觀了今年在新加坡舉行的活動。分析師估計，到下一個十年之初，亞洲人每年在食品上的支出將達到 8 兆美元。
新加坡 Spire Research and Consulting 首席營運長 Japnit Singh 表示：“潛力巨大。”
「幾年前，這裡非常以當地美食為中心。我曾經說過這永遠不會改變，但我錯了。我們看到了習慣的轉變——人們想吃西餐，並且願意為此付費，」他補充道。
辛格表示，收入的增加、旅行的增加以及最重要的是社群媒體使亞洲人的口味變得越來越冒險。

英國乳酪製造商熱衷於將產品出口到亞洲
追逐這一市場是英國政府脫歐後貿易策略的核心。去年，英國簽署了加入全面且先進的跨太平洋夥伴關係協定（CPTPP）的協議，這是11個國家之間的自由貿易協定。
當時，英國首相里希·蘇納克 (Rishi Sunak) 稱讚它展示了「英國脫歐後自由所帶來的真正經濟利益」。
然而，政府自己的估計稱，該協議在十年內只會使英國經濟規模增加0.08%。此外，除馬來西亞和汶萊外，中國已與CPTPP所有國家簽訂了自由貿易協定。
儘管英國食品出口商被引導到亞洲等地區發展，但目前的現實是歐盟市場仍然大四倍。
問題在於，與歐洲國家的貿易現在越來越充滿英國脫歐後的問題。最近的一項估計顯示，去年出口商的額外繁文縟節成本為 5800 萬英鎊。
「由於所有新規定，我們向中國銷售產品實際上比向法國銷售更容易——這太瘋狂了，」薩默代爾國際公司的瓊斯先生說。
英國政府堅稱正在著眼於更長期的前景。去年，國際貿易部長凱米·巴德諾克告訴英國廣播公司，這些新市場不會“取代歐盟貿易”，而是“補充”歐盟貿易。
「你不會購買一家小公司並期望它能夠在同一天交付 - 我們正在考慮潛力，」她補充道。
談到潛力，來自薩默代爾國際公司的瓊斯先生表示同意：“英國國旗實際上在國外享有很高的聲譽和食品安全，這在中國尤其重要。”
在品嚐了他的起司後，之前持懷疑態度的泰國賭客豎起了大拇指。對瓊斯先生來說，這都是教育過程的一部分——一次溫斯利代爾的一部分。

"英国脱欧后英国食品在亚洲的滞销
在亚洲，讨论食物就像讨论天气一样——人们可以聊上几个小时。
但当英国广播公司 (BBC) 最近参观该地区领先的美食和饮料活动之一时，我们发现，有些美食甚至让美食家也哑口无言。
“英国菜？”一位泰国妇女疑惑地停顿了一下问道。 “嗯……我不太确定那是什么。那是香肠之类的东西吗？”
附近的一名马来西亚男子毫不犹豫地发表了自己的看法：“这很无聊！绝对没有什么特别的，”他笑着说。
对于英国出口商来说，这些话是发人深省的，他们被承诺在脱欧后可以轻松进入利润丰厚的新市场。
举个例子，前国际贸易大臣利兹·特拉斯（Liz Truss）在 2021 年告诉英国食品生产商，他们有一个“黄金机会”，可以让英国食品“跻身全球食品菜单之首”。
现实情况是，英国在销售额和声誉方面仍然远远落后于欧洲主要同行。
“教育人们是一项艰巨的工作，”奶酪出口商萨默代尔国际公司的董事总经理斯蒂芬·琼斯说。
他在新加坡 FHA 食品和饮料贸易展上的摊位上，向当地人介绍了一些听起来很奇怪的奶酪，例如臭主教奶酪、双格洛斯特奶酪和温斯利代尔奶酪。
“法国人、瑞士人、意大利人——他们这样做的时间比我们长得多。我们来得相当晚才传达这一信息，”他补充道。
看到成群结队的东南亚游客第一次尝试并喜欢温斯利代尔，肯定会让人微笑。但与即将到来的意大利令人惊叹的展览相比，英国的小展馆显得相形见绌。
在那里，您会看到米其林星级厨师进行现场烹饪演示，而意大利厨艺大师大赛的获胜者则与该国大使闲聊。对于意大利来说，向亚洲出售食品不仅有利于其经济，而且长期以来一直是一种外交行为。
自去年起担任意大利驻新加坡和文莱大使的但丁·布兰迪 (Dante Brandi) 表示：“做这类事情是工作的重要组成部分。”

“这是我们所谓的‘Sistema Italia’的整体努力”，他说。 “这些机构都旨在推广我们的食品、美食和生活方式，我们通过我们在世界各地的外交和领事网络进行传播。”
然而，显然这种成功并非一蹴而就。例如，节日糕点现在已成为新加坡超市的圣诞必备品。但最初将这种节日美食引入东南亚的女士表示，花了“数年的活动、品尝和促销”才最终将其推上这里的货架。
新加坡意大利熟食店 Jupiter 57 的朱塞皮娜·普拉瓦托 (Giuseppina Pravato) 表示：“食品显然是意大利的主要出口产品，也是意大利人引以为傲的东西。”
“我们与意大利机构关系非常融洽，但 20 年前，基本上只有我一个人带来数百件意大利节日糕点，然后将它们作为礼物送给愿意尝试的人，”她补充道。
英国和意大利之间的鸿沟并不令人意外。在很大程度上，这是一个长期问题，早于英国脱欧或现任英国政府，并且涉及一个国家的基本经济优先事项。

Defra 还指出，尽管供应商没有收到任何直接的公共资金来帮助他们参加贸易展览，但去年它花费了 160 万英镑用于促进英国食品销售的活动，例如品尝和交流机会。
目前，英国向亚洲出口了价值 35 亿英镑（44 亿美元）的食品和饮料，自 2019 年以来增长了 18%。英国部长们会说，这证明英国作为“独立贸易国家”的地位已经得到提升。自离开欧盟以来，该国的企业受益。
但同期，意大利对亚洲的出口增长了 36%，达到 61 亿欧元（52 亿英镑；66 亿美元）。
“拥有一个支持性的政府绝对重要，”意大利大使布兰迪说。
“但我们与其他欧盟国家一样享有的一个主要优势是我们与许多重要的亚洲国家签订的自由贸易协定，”他补充道。

"Il-bejgħ iebes ta’ wara l-Brexit għall-ikel Brittaniku fl-Asja
Fl-Asja, tiddiskuti l-ikel hija bħal tiddiskuti t-temp - jista 'jwassal lin-nies jitkellmu għal sigħat.
Iżda meta l-BBC reċentement żar wieħed mill-avvenimenti ewlenin tal-ikel u x-xorb tar-reġjun, deher ċar li hemm xi kċejjen li jħallu anke lil dawk li jsejħu l-ikel bla kliem.
""Ikel Ingliż?"" tistaqsi waħda Tajlandiża b’pawsa mħawda. ""Um... M'inix ċert x'inhu dak. Dan hu bħal zalzett?”
Raġel Malasjan fil-viċin kien inqas lura milli joffri l-opinjoni tiegħu: “Huwa boring! Żgur xejn speċjali,” jidħaq.
Dawn huma kliem li jqawwi l-moħħ għall-esportaturi Brittaniċi, li ġew imwiegħda aċċess faċli għal swieq ġodda li jrendu wara l-Brexit.
Fl-2021, biex nagħti eżempju wieħed, l-eks Segretarju tal-Kummerċ Internazzjonali Liz Truss qalet lill-produtturi tal-ikel tar-Renju Unit li kellhom ""opportunità tad-deheb"" biex l-ikel Brittaniku ""fil-quċċata tal-menu tal-ikel globali"".
Ir-realtà hi li r-Renju Unit għadu lura ferm wara l-kontropartijiet Ewropej ewlenin tiegħu, kemm f’termini ta’ bejgħ kif ukoll ta’ reputazzjoni.
""Huwa xogħol enormi li jeduka lin-nies,"" jgħid Stephen Jones, direttur maniġerjali tal-esportaturi tal-ġobon Somerdale International.
Mill-post tiegħu fil-FHA Food and Beverage Trade Show f'Singapore, huwa jintroduċi lin-nies tal-lokal għal ġobnijiet ta 'ħoss stramb bħal Stinking Bishop, Double Gloucester u Wensleydale.
“Il-Franċiżi, l-Iżvizzeri, it-Taljani - ilhom jagħmluha ħafna itwal milli għandna. Qed nidħlu pjuttost tard biex inwasslu dak il-messaġġ,” żied jgħid.
Li tara gruppi ta' viżitaturi tal-Asja tax-Xlokk jippruvaw - u jogħġbu - Wensleydale għall-ewwel darba ċertament tqajjem tbissima. Iżda l-pavaljun żgħir tar-Renju Unit huwa mxejjen mill-wiri tal-Italja li jwaqqaf l-ispettaklu, li jinsab l-kantuniera.
Hemmhekk issib koki bi stilla Michelin jagħtu dimostrazzjonijiet ta’ tisjir ħajjin, filwaqt li r-rebbieħa tal-MasterChef Taljana titkellem mal-ambaxxatur ta’ pajjiżha. Għall-Italja, minbarra li huwa tajjeb għall-ekonomija tagħha, il-bejgħ tal-ikel lill-Asja ilu żmien twil att ta’ diplomazija.
""Li tagħmel dan it-tip ta 'affarijiet hija parti kbira tax-xogħol,"" jgħid Dante Brandi, li ilu l-ambaxxatur Taljan għal Singapor u l-Brunej mis-sena li għaddiet.
Stephen Jones, direttur maniġerjali tal-esportaturi tal-ġobon Somerdale International
Stephen Jones, hawn iċċettja mal-viżitaturi fil-fiera tal-ikel, jgħid li huwa ""xogħol massiv li jeduka lin-nies""
Meta tkellem mal-BBC taħt tricolor Taljan u l-logo tal-Ministeru tal-Affarijiet Barranin ta’ pajjiżu, is-Sur Brandi jispjega kif il-wirjiet kummerċjali jiffurmaw parti mill-makkinarju tal-gvern.
""Huwa sforz ġenerali minn dak li nsejħu 'Sistema Italia'"", jgħid. ""Il-grupp ta' istituzzjonijiet kollha kellhom l-għan li jippromwovu l-ikel, il-gastronomija u l-istil ta' ħajja tagħna, li nxerrdu permezz tan-netwerk diplomatiku u konsulari tagħna madwar id-dinja kollha.""
Madankollu, huwa ċar li dan it-tip ta 'suċċess ma jintlaħaqx mil-lum għal għada. Pereżempju, il-panettone issa huwa apparat tal-Milied fis-supermarkits ta’ Singapor. Iżda l-mara li oriġinarjament introduċiet it-trattament tal-festi fix-Xlokk tal-Asja tgħid li ħadu ""snin ta 'attivitajiet, tidwiq u promozzjonijiet"" biex eventwalment daħħalha fuq l-ixkafef hawn.
""L-ikel huwa ovvjament esportazzjoni ewlenija għall-Italja u xi ħaġa li t-Taljani huma kburin ħafna biha,"" tgħid Giuseppina Pravato minn Jupiter 57, delicatessen Taljana f'Singapore.
""Għandna rapport kbir mal-istituzzjonijiet Taljani, iżda 20 sena ilu kont bażikament jien biss, li ndaħħal mijiet ta 'biċċiet ta' panettone u litteralment tajthom b'rigal lil min jipprovah,"" żżid.
Il-golf bejn il-Gran Brittanja u, f’dan il-każ, l-Italja m’għandux ikun sorpriża. Fil-biċċa l-kbira, din hija kwistjoni fit-tul, li hija qabel il-Brexit jew il-gvern attwali tar-Renju Unit, u titkellem dwar il-prijoritajiet ekonomiċi fundamentali ta’ pajjiż.
Is-sena l-oħra l-Italja esportat aktar minn €64.4bn (£55.4bn; $69.1bn) f'ikel u xorb globalment, filwaqt li r-Renju Unit biegħ £24.4bn ($30.5bn). Meta tħares lejn dawn in-numri bħala proporzjon tal-prodott gross domestiku (PGD), l-esportazzjoni tal-ikel u x-xorb hija madwar tliet darbiet aktar siewja għall-ekonomija Taljana milli hija għall-Gran Brittanja.
Il-biċċa l-kbira tal-esportaturi tal-ikel Brittaniċi jidhru li jieħdu ħsieb prammatiku ta 'fejn jinsabu fis-suq tal-ikel globali. Il-kwistjoni, ħafna jargumentaw, hija li l-gvern mhux qed jagħmel biżżejjed biex jaqbel mar-retorika tiegħu meta jiġi biex ibiddel is-sitwazzjoni.

Wirja Ingliża f’wirja tal-ikel f’Singapore
Fil-fatt, id-delegazzjoni tar-Renju Unit f’Singapore qalet lill-BBC li setgħu jattendu biss għax ħallsu minn buthom.
""Sa mill-2019, ma rċevejna l-ebda flus tal-gvern biex jgħinuna naslu għal dawn it-tipi ta 'wirjiet,"" tgħid Karen Beston mill-Assoċjazzjoni tal-Esportaturi tal-Ikel u x-Xorb.
""Jagħmel diffiċli ħafna li tispikka kontra l-gruppi Ewropej l-oħra jew gruppi dinjija oħra li huma kważi ffinanzjati bis-sħiħ mill-gvernijiet rispettivi tagħhom,"" żżid hi.
Meta dan tressaq lill-gvern tar-Renju Unit mill-BBC, id-Dipartiment għall-Ambjent, l-Ikel u l-Affarijiet Rurali (Defra) qal: ""Il-promozzjoni tal-interessi tal-bdiewa u l-produtturi tal-ikel tagħna hija prijorità tal-politika kummerċjali tagħna"".
Defra irrimarkat ukoll li – għalkemm il-fornituri ma jirċievu l-ebda flus pubbliċi diretti biex jgħinuhom jattendu wirjiet kummerċjali – is-sena li għaddiet nefqet £1.6m f’avvenimenti biex jippromwovi l-bejgħ ta’ ikel Brittaniku, bħal tastings u opportunitajiet ta’ networking.
Bħalissa, ir-Renju Unit jesporta ikel u xorb b'valur ta' £3.5bn ($4.4bn) lejn l-Asja, li hija żieda ta' 18% mill-2019. Din hija prova, jgħidu l-ministri Brittaniċi, li l-istatus tal-Gran Brittanja bħala ""nazzjon kummerċjali indipendenti"" għandu ibbenefika lin-negozji tal-pajji] minn meta [alla mill-Unjoni Ewropea.
Iżda f’dak l-istess perjodu, l-esportazzjonijiet tal-Italja lejn l-Asja kibru b’36% għal €6.1bn (£5.2bn; $6.6bn).
""Li jkollok gvern ta' appoġġ huwa żgur importanti,"" jgħid l-Ambaxxatur tal-Italja Brandi.
""Iżda vantaġġ kbir li ngawdu, flimkien ma 'stati oħra tal-UE, huwa l-ftehimiet ta' kummerċ ħieles li għandna ma 'ħafna pajjiżi Asjatiċi importanti,"" huwa jżid.
Madankollu opportunità - kemm jekk tad-deheb jew le - teżisti għall-produtturi Brittaniċi fid-dawl tal-Brexit.
Aktar minn 60,000 ruħ żaru l-avveniment ta’ din is-sena f’Singapore. Sal-bidu tad-deċennju li ġej, l-analisti jistmaw li n-nies fl-Asja se jonfqu $8tn kull sena fuq l-ikel.
""Il-potenzjal huwa enormi,"" tgħid Japnit Singh, uffiċjal kap operattiv fi Spire Research and Consulting f'Singapor.
“Ftit snin ilu, hawn kien iċċentrat ħafna fuq l-ikel lokali. Kont ngħid li qatt ma kien se jinbidel, imma kont żbaljat. Qed naraw trasformazzjoni fid-drawwiet – in-nies iridu jieklu ikel tal-Punent u lesti jħallsu għalih,” iżid.
Skont is-Sur Singh, iż-żieda fid-dħul, iż-żieda fl-ivvjaġġar u - b'mod kruċjali - il-midja soċjali għenu biex il-palat Asjatiku jsir dejjem aktar avventuruż.

Il-produtturi tal-ġobon Brittaniċi huma ħerqana li jesportaw il-prodotti tagħhom lejn l-Asja
It-tfittxija għal dan is-suq hija fiċ-ċentru tal-istrateġija kummerċjali tal-gvern tar-Renju Unit wara l-Brexit. Is-sena li għaddiet, il-Gran Brittanja ffirmat ftehim biex tingħaqad mal-Ftehim Komprensiv u Progressiv għal Sħubija Trans-Paċifiku (CPTPP), li huwa ftehim ta 'kummerċ ħieles bejn 11-il pajjiż.
Dak iż-żmien, il-Prim Ministru tar-Renju Unit Rishi Sunak faħħarha bħala turija tal-“benefiċċji ekonomiċi reali tal-libertajiet tagħna ta’ wara l-Brexit.”
Madankollu, l-istimi tal-gvern stess jgħidu li l-ftehim se jżid biss 0.08% mad-daqs tal-ekonomija tar-Renju Unit fuq għaxar snin. Barra minn hekk, diġà kellha ftehimiet ta' kummerċ ħieles mal-pajjiżi kollha fis-CPTPP, ħlief il-Malasja u l-Brunej.
Għalkemm l-esportaturi tal-ikel tar-Renju Unit qed jiġu ggwidati lejn reġjuni bħall-Asja, ir-realtà attwali hija li s-suq tal-UE għadu erba' darbiet akbar.
Il-problema hija li l-kummerċ mal-pajjiżi Ewropej issa qiegħed dejjem aktar mimli kwistjonijiet ta’ wara l-Brexit. Stima waħda reċenti poġġiet l-ispejjeż addizzjonali tal-burokrazija għal £58 miljun għall-esportaturi s-sena li għaddiet.
""Minħabba r-regolamenti l-ġodda kollha, fil-fatt huwa aktar faċli għalina li nbiegħu liċ-Ċina milli lil Franza - li huwa miġnun,"" jgħid is-Sur Jones minn Somerdale International.
Il-gvern tar-Renju Unit jinsisti li qed iħares lejn l-istampa fit-tul. Is-sena li għaddiet, is-Segretarju tal-Kummerċ Internazzjonali Kemi Badenoch qal lill-BBC li dawn is-swieq il-ġodda mhux se ""jissostitwixxu l-kummerċ tal-UE"", iżda pjuttost li kienu ""b'żieda"" miegħu.
""Ma tkunx tixtri kumpanija żgħira u tistenna li tkun qed twassal fl-istess jum - qed naħsbu dwar il-potenzjal,"" żiedet tgħid.
F'dak li għandu x'jaqsam mal-potenzjal, is-Sur Jones minn Somerdale International jaqbel: ""L-Union Jack fil-fatt għandu reputazzjoni deċenti barra l-pajjiż fejn jidħlu prestiġju u sikurezza tal-ikel, li hija speċjalment importanti fiċ-Ċina.""
Wara li daq il-ġobon tiegħu, il-punter Tajlandiż xettiku ta' qabel irritorna thumbs up ta' approvazzjoni. Għas-Sur Jones, dan kollu huwa parti mill-proċess edukattiv - biċċa waħda minn Wensleydale kull darba.

2024.05.12 15:01 aznpersuazion My Top 5 Restaurants in South Florida/Miami Area..
Wanted to share my top 5 recommendation list. Having lived here for about 30 years, here are the best spots to visit, whether you're traveling or a local. I've included a range of options from cheap eats to fine dining.

- Chef Tally's - I've binge eaten at least 50+ jamaican restaurants, and while this isn't your typical traditional jamaican spot, this is hands down one of my favorite places in south Florida. I dream about the chicken here. It's always a candidate for my "what should I eat this weekend" thoughts.
- Mila Sunday Brunch - $95 for all you can eat cinco jota jamon iberico, black caviar, and a ton of other creatively prepared dishes. I've had a few of the other brunchs in south florida, like edge, novikov, etc. but this one gets the thumbs up because they actually have more unique spreads and appetizers. Pro tip, they have a cheese wheel pasta and mojito station outside. Did I mention the price includes unlimited champagne and rose?
- Palacio de los Jugos - this is a staple of south florida cuisine. I might get some flack for having this on my list, but amongst all the cuban and latin spots I've been to across Hialeah and Miami, I always find myself back here grabbing a meal for like $7 and juice for $3!
- Stubborn Seed - I haven't gone since they've gotten their Michelin Star, but I used to frequent this place. What sets the tasting menu at stubborn seed apart in my opinion is the almagamation of dish pacing, food sourcing/creativity, and lineup of ingredients. I don't think there's a singular dish that really sets this restaurant apart from the rest of the modern fine dining options, but more so a extremely well presented and curated dining experience.
- Anita Gelato. This spot recently opened in Aventura coming from NYC. It's not a super traditional italian/argentiniam gelato, but the flavor combinations are the best I've ever had. And it's not too sweet. My favorite ice cream/froyo/gelato spot amongst the hundreds I've been to in SoFlo.

2024.05.12 07:24 Successful-Bread-347 December, 1984 bands to check
Here is the next list of bands for checking. These bands played on NDR radio in December, 1984.
I've removed bands that were already in the October or November 1984 lists as these have already been checked and so have been removed. Also quickly went through and removed some obvious wrong bands. Thanks to everyone but especially to u/Nitokris666 and u/violetvvviolet for checking the November, 1984 list so carefully (I think both went through almost the entire list).
Search terms I use with youtube, google, discogs for rarer bands are "[band name] +band +1984 (or +demo)".
If you think a band is ruled out - please leave a comment with the band name and the workds "RULED OUT" - and please give a sentence as to why they are ruled out ('female lead', 'jazz band', etc.) but please ONLY say RULED OUT if it is clear they are not the TMS band. Just because you hear they are using a synth and no guitars in a song doesn't mean that they didn't use heavy guitar in another song! If you think a band sounds similar - please leave a comment with the band name and "SIMILAR" so we can really dig deeply into them more.

2024.05.11 11:55 sinomaltanews "英國脫歐後英國食品在亞洲的滯銷
"英國脫歐後英國食品在亞洲的滯銷
在亞洲，討論食物就像討論天氣一樣——人們可以聊上好幾個小時。
但當英國廣播公司 (BBC) 最近參觀該地區領先的美食和飲料活動之一時，我們發現，有些美食甚至讓美食家也啞口無言。
“英國菜？”一位泰國婦女疑惑地停頓了一下問。 「嗯……我不太確定那是什麼。那是香腸之類的東西嗎？
附近的一名馬來西亞男子毫不猶豫地發表了自己的看法：「這很無聊！絕對沒有什麼特別的，」他笑著說。
對於英國出口商來說，這些話是發人深省的，他們被承諾在脫歐後可以輕鬆進入利潤豐厚的新市場。
舉個例子，前國際貿易大臣利茲·特拉斯（Liz Truss）在 2021 年告訴英國食品生產商，他們有一個“黃金機會”，可以讓英國食品“躋身全球食品菜單之首”。
現實情況是，英國在銷售額和聲譽方面仍然遠遠落後於歐洲主要同業。
「教育人們是一項艱鉅的工作，」起司出口商薩默代爾國際公司的董事總經理史蒂芬瓊斯說。
他在新加坡 FHA 食品和飲料貿易展上的攤位上，向當地人介紹了一些聽起來很奇怪的奶酪，例如臭主教奶酪、雙格洛斯特奶酪和溫斯利代爾奶酪。
「法國人、瑞士人、義大利人——他們這樣做的時間比我們長得多。我們來得相當晚才傳達這一訊息，」他補充道。
看到成群結隊的東南亞遊客第一次嘗試並喜歡溫斯利代爾，肯定會讓人微笑。但與即將到來的意大利令人驚嘆的展覽相比，英國的小展館顯得相形見絀。
在那裡，您會看到米其林星級廚師進行現場烹飪演示，而義大利廚藝大師大賽的獲勝者則與該國大使閒聊。對義大利來說，向亞洲出售食品不僅有利於其經濟，而且長期以來一直是一種外交行為。
自去年起擔任義大利駐新加坡和文萊大使的但丁·布蘭迪 (Dante Brandi) 表示：“做這類事情是工作的重要組成部分。”
史蒂芬瓊斯 (Stephen Jones)，起司出口商薩默代爾國際 (Somerdale International) 董事總經理
史蒂芬瓊斯在食品博覽會上與參觀者聊天，他說這是一項“教育人們的艱鉅工作”
布蘭迪先生在義大利三色旗和義大利外交部的標誌下接受英國廣播公司採訪時解釋了貿易展覽如何成為政府機構的一部分。
“這是我們所謂的‘Sistema Italia’的整體努力”，他說。 “這些機構都旨在推廣我們的食品、美食和生活方式，我們透過我們在世界各地的外交和領事網絡進行傳播。”
然而，顯然這種成功並非一蹴可幾。例如，節日糕點現在已成為新加坡超市的聖誕必備品。但最初將這種節日美食引入東南亞的女士表示，花了「數年的活動、品嚐和促銷」才最終將其推上這裡的貨架。
新加坡義大利熟食店 Jupiter 57 的朱塞皮娜·普拉瓦托 (Giuseppina Pravato) 表示：“食品顯然是義大利的主要出口產品，也是義大利人引以為傲的東西。”
「我們與義大利機構關係非常融洽，但 20 年前，基本上只有我一個人帶來數百件義大利節日糕點，然後將它們作為禮物送給願意嘗試的人，」她補充道。
英國和義大利之間的鴻溝並不令人意外。在很大程度上，這是一個長期問題，早於英國脫歐或現任英國政府，並涉及一個國家的基本經濟優先事項。
去年，義大利向全球出口了價值超過 644 億歐元（554 億英鎊；691 億美元）的食品和飲料，而英國則出口了 244 億英鎊（305 億美元）。當你將這些數字視為國內生產毛額 (GDP) 的比例時，你會發現出口食品和飲料對義大利經濟的價值大約是英國經濟的三倍。
大多數英國食品出口商似乎對自己在全球食品市場中的地位持務實的看法。許多人認為，問題在於政府在改變局勢方面沒有採取足夠的措施來兌現其言論。
PS8/UK FDEA 新加坡食品展上的英國展品PS8/UK FDEA

事實上，駐新加坡的英國代表團告訴英國廣播公司，他們之所以能夠參加，是因為他們自掏腰包。
「自 2019 年以來，我們沒有收到任何政府資金來幫助我們參加此類展會，」食品和飲料出口商協會的 Karen Beston 說。
她補充說：“這使得我們很難在幾乎完全由各自政府資助的其他歐洲集團或其他世界集團中脫穎而出。”
當 BBC 向英國政府提出這個問題時，環境、食品和農村事務部 (Defra) 表示：「促進我們農民和食品生產商的利益是我們貿易政策的首要任務」。
Defra 也指出，儘管供應商沒有收到任何直接的公共資金來幫助他們參加貿易展覽，但去年它花費了 160 萬英鎊用於促進英國食品銷售的活動，例如品嚐和交流機會。
目前，英國向亞洲出口了價值35 億英鎊（44 億美元）的食品和飲料，自2019 年以來增長了18%。 。
但同期，義大利對亞洲的出口成長了 36%，達到 61 億歐元（52 億英鎊；66 億美元）。
「擁有一個支持性的政府絕對重要，」義大利大使布蘭迪說。
「但我們與其他歐盟國家一樣享有的一個主要優勢是我們與許多重要的亞洲國家簽訂的自由貿易協定，」他補充道。
儘管如此，英國脫歐後，英國生產商確實存在一個機會（無論是否是黃金機會）。
超過 60,000 人參觀了今年在新加坡舉行的活動。分析師估計，到下一個十年之初，亞洲人每年在食品上的支出將達到 8 兆美元。
新加坡 Spire Research and Consulting 首席營運長 Japnit Singh 表示：“潛力巨大。”
「幾年前，這裡非常以當地美食為中心。我曾經說過這永遠不會改變，但我錯了。我們看到了習慣的轉變——人們想吃西餐，並且願意為此付費，」他補充道。
辛格表示，收入的增加、旅行的增加以及最重要的是社群媒體使亞洲人的口味變得越來越冒險。
薩默代爾國際 薩默代爾起司。
英國乳酪製造商熱衷於將產品出口到亞洲
追逐這一市場是英國政府脫歐後貿易策略的核心。去年，英國簽署了加入全面且先進的跨太平洋夥伴關係協定（CPTPP）的協議，這是11個國家之間的自由貿易協定。
當時，英國首相里希·蘇納克 (Rishi Sunak) 稱讚它展示了「英國脫歐後自由所帶來的真正經濟利益」。
然而，政府自己的估計稱，該協議在十年內只會使英國經濟規模增加0.08%。此外，除馬來西亞和汶萊外，中國已與CPTPP所有國家簽訂了自由貿易協定。
儘管英國食品出口商被引導到亞洲等地區發展，但目前的現實是歐盟市場仍然大四倍。
問題在於，與歐洲國家的貿易現在越來越充滿英國脫歐後的問題。最近的一項估計顯示，去年出口商的額外繁文縟節成本為 5800 萬英鎊。
「由於所有新規定，我們向中國銷售產品實際上比向法國銷售更容易——這太瘋狂了，」薩默代爾國際公司的瓊斯先生說。
英國政府堅稱正在著眼於更長期的前景。去年，國際貿易部長凱米·巴德諾克告訴英國廣播公司，這些新市場不會“取代歐盟貿易”，而是“補充”歐盟貿易。
「你不會購買一家小公司並期望它能夠在同一天交付 - 我們正在考慮潛力，」她補充道。
談到潛力，薩默代爾國際公司的瓊斯先生表示同意：“英國國旗實際上在國外享有很高的聲譽和食品安全，這在中國尤其重要。”
在品嚐了他的起司後，先前持懷疑態度的泰國賭客豎起了大拇指。對瓊斯先生來說，這都是教育過程的一部分——一次溫斯利代爾的一部分。

"英国脱欧后英国食品在亚洲的滞销
在亚洲，讨论食物就像讨论天气一样——人们可以聊上几个小时。
但当英国广播公司 (BBC) 最近参观该地区领先的美食和饮料活动之一时，我们发现，有些美食甚至让美食家也哑口无言。
“英国菜？”一位泰国妇女疑惑地停顿了一下问道。 “嗯……我不太确定那是什么。那是香肠之类的东西吗？”
附近的一名马来西亚男子毫不犹豫地发表了自己的看法：“这很无聊！绝对没有什么特别的，”他笑着说。
对于英国出口商来说，这些话是发人深省的，他们被承诺在脱欧后可以轻松进入利润丰厚的新市场。
举个例子，前国际贸易大臣利兹·特拉斯（Liz Truss）在 2021 年告诉英国食品生产商，他们有一个“黄金机会”，可以让英国食品“跻身全球食品菜单之首”。
现实情况是，英国在销售额和声誉方面仍然远远落后于欧洲主要同行。
“教育人们是一项艰巨的工作，”奶酪出口商萨默代尔国际公司的董事总经理斯蒂芬·琼斯说。
他在新加坡 FHA 食品和饮料贸易展上的摊位上，向当地人介绍了一些听起来很奇怪的奶酪，例如臭主教奶酪、双格洛斯特奶酪和温斯利代尔奶酪。
“法国人、瑞士人、意大利人——他们这样做的时间比我们长得多。我们来得相当晚才传达这一信息，”他补充道。
看到成群结队的东南亚游客第一次尝试并喜欢温斯利代尔，肯定会让人微笑。但与即将到来的意大利令人惊叹的展览相比，英国的小展馆显得相形见绌。
在那里，您会看到米其林星级厨师进行现场烹饪演示，而意大利厨艺大师大赛的获胜者则与该国大使闲聊。对于意大利来说，向亚洲出售食品不仅有利于其经济，而且长期以来一直是一种外交行为。
自去年起担任意大利驻新加坡和文莱大使的但丁·布兰迪 (Dante Brandi) 表示：“做这类事情是工作的重要组成部分。”
斯蒂芬·琼斯 (Stephen Jones)，奶酪出口商萨默代尔国际 (Somerdale International) 董事总经理
斯蒂芬·琼斯在食品博览会上与参观者聊天，他说这是一项“教育人们的艰巨工作”
布兰迪先生在意大利三色旗和意大利外交部的标志下接受英国广播公司采访时解释了贸易展览如何成为政府机构的一部分。
“这是我们所谓的‘Sistema Italia’的整体努力”，他说。 “这些机构都旨在推广我们的食品、美食和生活方式，我们通过我们在世界各地的外交和领事网络进行传播。”
然而，显然这种成功并非一蹴而就。例如，节日糕点现在已成为新加坡超市的圣诞必备品。但最初将这种节日美食引入东南亚的女士表示，花了“数年的活动、品尝和促销”才最终将其推上这里的货架。
新加坡意大利熟食店 Jupiter 57 的朱塞皮娜·普拉瓦托 (Giuseppina Pravato) 表示：“食品显然是意大利的主要出口产品，也是意大利人引以为傲的东西。”
“我们与意大利机构关系非常融洽，但 20 年前，基本上只有我一个人带来数百件意大利节日糕点，然后将它们作为礼物送给愿意尝试的人，”她补充道。
英国和意大利之间的鸿沟并不令人意外。在很大程度上，这是一个长期问题，早于英国脱欧或现任英国政府，并且涉及一个国家的基本经济优先事项。
去年，意大利向全球出口了价值超过 644 亿欧元（554 亿英镑；691 亿美元）的食品和饮料，而英国则出口了 244 亿英镑（305 亿美元）。当你将这些数字视为国内生产总值 (GDP) 的比例时，就会发现出口食品和饮料对意大利经济的价值大约是英国经济的三倍。
大多数英国食品出口商似乎对自己在全球食品市场中的地位持务实的看法。许多人认为，问题在于政府在改变局势方面没有采取足够的措施来兑现其言论。

事实上，驻新加坡的英国代表团告诉英国广播公司，他们之所以能够参加，是因为他们自掏腰包。
“自 2019 年以来，我们没有收到任何政府资金来帮助我们参加此类展会，”食品和饮料出口商协会的凯伦·贝斯顿 (Karen Beston) 说。
她补充道：“这使得我们很难在几乎完全由各自政府资助的其他欧洲集团或其他世界集团中脱颖而出。”
当 BBC 向英国政府提出这一问题时，环境、食品和农村事务部 (Defra) 表示：“促进我们农民和食品生产商的利益是我们贸易政策的首要任务”。
Defra 还指出，尽管供应商没有收到任何直接的公共资金来帮助他们参加贸易展览，但去年它花费了 160 万英镑用于促进英国食品销售的活动，例如品尝和交流机会。
目前，英国向亚洲出口了价值 35 亿英镑（44 亿美元）的食品和饮料，自 2019 年以来增长了 18%。英国部长们会说，这证明英国作为“独立贸易国家”的地位已经得到提升。自离开欧盟以来，该国的企业受益匪浅。
但同期，意大利对亚洲的出口增长了 36%，达到 61 亿欧元（52 亿英镑；66 亿美元）。
“拥有一个支持性的政府绝对重要，”意大利大使布兰迪说。
“但我们与其他欧盟国家一样享有的一个主要优势是我们与许多重要的亚洲国家签订的自由贸易协定，”他补充道。
尽管如此，英国脱欧后，英国生产商确实存在一个机会（无论是否是黄金机会）。
超过 60,000 人参观了今年在新加坡举行的活动。分析师估计，到下一个十年之初，亚洲人每年在食品上的支出将达到 8 万亿美元。
新加坡 Spire Research and Consulting 首席运营官贾普尼特·辛格 (Japnit Singh) 表示：“潜力巨大。”
“几年前，这里非常以当地美食为中心。我曾经说过这永远不会改变，但我错了。我们看到了习惯的转变——人们想吃西餐，并且愿意为此付费，”他补充道。
辛格表示，收入的增加、旅行的增加以及最重要的是社交媒体使亚洲人的口味变得越来越冒险。

追逐这一市场是英国政府脱欧后贸易战略的核心。去年，英国签署了加入全面且先进的跨太平洋伙伴关系协定（CPTPP）的协议，这是11个国家之间的自由贸易协定。
当时，英国首相里希·苏纳克 (Rishi Sunak) 称赞它展示了“英国脱欧后自由所带来的真正经济利益”。
然而，政府自己的估计称，该协议在十年内只会使英国经济规模增加0.08%。此外，除马来西亚和文莱外，中国已与CPTPP所有国家签订了自由贸易协定。
尽管英国食品出口商被引导向亚洲等地区发展，但目前的现实是欧盟市场仍然大四倍。
问题在于，与欧洲国家的贸易现在越来越充满英国脱欧后的问题。最近的一项估计显示，去年出口商的额外繁文缛节成本为 5800 万英镑。
“由于所有新规定，我们向中国销售产品实际上比向法国销售更容易——这太疯狂了，”萨默代尔国际公司的琼斯先生说。
英国政府坚称正在着眼于更长期的前景。去年，国际贸易部长凯米·巴德诺克告诉英国广播公司，这些新市场不会“取代欧盟贸易”，而是“补充”欧盟贸易。
“你不会购买一家小公司并期望它能够在同一天交付 - 我们正在考虑潜力，”她补充道。
谈到潜力，萨默代尔国际公司的琼斯先生表示同意：“英国国旗实际上在国外享有很高的声誉和食品安全，这在中国尤其重要。”
在品尝了他的奶酪后，先前持怀疑态度的泰国赌客竖起了大拇指。对于琼斯先生来说，这都是教育过程的一部分——一次温斯利代尔的一部分。

"Il-bejgħ iebes ta’ wara l-Brexit għall-ikel Brittaniku fl-Asja
Fl-Asja, tiddiskuti l-ikel hija bħal tiddiskuti t-temp - jista 'jwassal lin-nies jitkellmu għal sigħat.
Iżda meta l-BBC reċentement żar wieħed mill-avvenimenti ewlenin tal-ikel u x-xorb tar-reġjun, deher ċar li hemm xi kċejjen li jħallu anke lil dawk li jsejħu l-ikel bla kliem.
""Ikel Ingliż?"" tistaqsi waħda Tajlandiża b’pawsa mħawda. ""Um... M'inix ċert x'inhu dak. Dan hu bħal zalzett?”
Raġel Malasjan fil-viċin kien inqas lura milli joffri l-opinjoni tiegħu: “Huwa boring! Żgur xejn speċjali,” jidħaq.
Dawn huma kliem li jqawwi l-moħħ għall-esportaturi Brittaniċi, li ġew imwiegħda aċċess faċli għal swieq ġodda li jrendu wara l-Brexit.
Fl-2021, biex nagħti eżempju wieħed, l-eks Segretarju tal-Kummerċ Internazzjonali Liz Truss qalet lill-produtturi tal-ikel tar-Renju Unit li kellhom ""opportunità tad-deheb"" biex l-ikel Brittaniku ""fil-quċċata tal-menu tal-ikel globali"".
Ir-realtà hi li r-Renju Unit għadu lura ferm wara l-kontropartijiet Ewropej ewlenin tiegħu, kemm f’termini ta’ bejgħ kif ukoll ta’ reputazzjoni.
""Huwa xogħol enormi li jeduka lin-nies,"" jgħid Stephen Jones, direttur maniġerjali tal-esportaturi tal-ġobon Somerdale International.
Mill-post tiegħu fil-FHA Food and Beverage Trade Show f'Singapore, huwa jintroduċi lin-nies tal-lokal għal ġobnijiet ta 'ħoss stramb bħal Stinking Bishop, Double Gloucester u Wensleydale.
“Il-Franċiżi, l-Iżvizzeri, it-Taljani - ilhom jagħmluha ħafna itwal milli għandna. Qed nidħlu pjuttost tard biex inwasslu dak il-messaġġ,” żied jgħid.
Li tara gruppi ta' viżitaturi tal-Asja tax-Xlokk jippruvaw - u jogħġbu - Wensleydale għall-ewwel darba ċertament tqajjem tbissima. Iżda l-pavaljun żgħir tar-Renju Unit huwa mxejjen mill-wiri tal-Italja li jwaqqaf l-ispettaklu, li jinsab l-kantuniera.
Hemmhekk issib koki bi stilla Michelin jagħtu dimostrazzjonijiet ta’ tisjir ħajjin, filwaqt li r-rebbieħa tal-MasterChef Taljana titkellem mal-ambaxxatur ta’ pajjiżha. Għall-Italja, minbarra li huwa tajjeb għall-ekonomija tagħha, il-bejgħ tal-ikel lill-Asja ilu żmien twil att ta’ diplomazija.
""Li tagħmel dan it-tip ta 'affarijiet hija parti kbira tax-xogħol,"" jgħid Dante Brandi, li ilu l-ambaxxatur Taljan għal Singapor u l-Brunej mis-sena li għaddiet.
Stephen Jones, direttur maniġerjali tal-esportaturi tal-ġobon Somerdale International
Stephen Jones, hawn iċċettja mal-viżitaturi fil-fiera tal-ikel, jgħid li huwa ""xogħol massiv li jeduka lin-nies""
Meta tkellem mal-BBC taħt tricolor Taljan u l-logo tal-Ministeru tal-Affarijiet Barranin ta’ pajjiżu, is-Sur Brandi jispjega kif il-wirjiet kummerċjali jiffurmaw parti mill-makkinarju tal-gvern.
""Huwa sforz ġenerali minn dak li nsejħu 'Sistema Italia'"", jgħid. ""Il-grupp ta' istituzzjonijiet kollha kellhom l-għan li jippromwovu l-ikel, il-gastronomija u l-istil ta' ħajja tagħna, li nxerrdu permezz tan-netwerk diplomatiku u konsulari tagħna madwar id-dinja kollha.""
Madankollu, huwa ċar li dan it-tip ta 'suċċess ma jintlaħaqx mil-lum għal għada. Pereżempju, il-panettone issa huwa apparat tal-Milied fis-supermarkits ta’ Singapor. Iżda l-mara li oriġinarjament introduċiet it-trattament tal-festi fix-Xlokk tal-Asja tgħid li ħadu ""snin ta 'attivitajiet, tidwiq u promozzjonijiet"" biex eventwalment daħħalha fuq l-ixkafef hawn.
""L-ikel huwa ovvjament esportazzjoni ewlenija għall-Italja u xi ħaġa li t-Taljani huma kburin ħafna biha,"" tgħid Giuseppina Pravato minn Jupiter 57, delicatessen Taljana f'Singapore.
""Għandna rapport kbir mal-istituzzjonijiet Taljani, iżda 20 sena ilu kont bażikament jien biss, li ndaħħal mijiet ta 'biċċiet ta' panettone u litteralment tajthom b'rigal lil min jipprovah,"" żżid.
Il-golf bejn il-Gran Brittanja u, f’dan il-każ, l-Italja m’għandux ikun sorpriża. Fil-biċċa l-kbira, din hija kwistjoni fit-tul, li hija qabel il-Brexit jew il-gvern attwali tar-Renju Unit, u titkellem dwar il-prijoritajiet ekonomiċi fundamentali ta’ pajjiż.
Is-sena l-oħra l-Italja esportat aktar minn €64.4bn (£55.4bn; $69.1bn) f'ikel u xorb globalment, filwaqt li r-Renju Unit biegħ £24.4bn ($30.5bn). Meta tħares lejn dawn in-numri bħala proporzjon tal-prodott gross domestiku (PGD), l-esportazzjoni tal-ikel u x-xorb hija madwar tliet darbiet aktar siewja għall-ekonomija Taljana milli hija għall-Gran Brittanja.
Il-biċċa l-kbira tal-esportaturi tal-ikel Brittaniċi jidhru li jieħdu ħsieb prammatiku ta 'fejn jinsabu fis-suq tal-ikel globali. Il-kwistjoni, ħafna jargumentaw, hija li l-gvern mhux qed jagħmel biżżejjed biex jaqbel mar-retorika tiegħu meta jiġi biex ibiddel is-sitwazzjoni.

Wirja Ingliża f’wirja tal-ikel f’Singapore
Fil-fatt, id-delegazzjoni tar-Renju Unit f’Singapore qalet lill-BBC li setgħu jattendu biss għax ħallsu minn buthom.
""Sa mill-2019, ma rċevejna l-ebda flus tal-gvern biex jgħinuna naslu għal dawn it-tipi ta 'wirjiet,"" tgħid Karen Beston mill-Assoċjazzjoni tal-Esportaturi tal-Ikel u x-Xorb.
""Jagħmel diffiċli ħafna li tispikka kontra l-gruppi Ewropej l-oħra jew gruppi dinjija oħra li huma kważi ffinanzjati bis-sħiħ mill-gvernijiet rispettivi tagħhom,"" żżid hi.
Meta dan tressaq lill-gvern tar-Renju Unit mill-BBC, id-Dipartiment għall-Ambjent, l-Ikel u l-Affarijiet Rurali (Defra) qal: ""Il-promozzjoni tal-interessi tal-bdiewa u l-produtturi tal-ikel tagħna hija prijorità tal-politika kummerċjali tagħna"".
Defra irrimarkat ukoll li – għalkemm il-fornituri ma jirċievu l-ebda flus pubbliċi diretti biex jgħinuhom jattendu wirjiet kummerċjali – is-sena li għaddiet nefqet £1.6m f’avvenimenti biex jippromwovi l-bejgħ ta’ ikel Brittaniku, bħal tastings u opportunitajiet ta’ networking.
Bħalissa, ir-Renju Unit jesporta ikel u xorb b'valur ta' £3.5bn ($4.4bn) lejn l-Asja, li hija żieda ta' 18% mill-2019. Din hija prova, jgħidu l-ministri Brittaniċi, li l-istatus tal-Gran Brittanja bħala ""nazzjon kummerċjali indipendenti"" għandu ibbenefika lin-negozji tal-pajji] minn meta [alla mill-Unjoni Ewropea.
Iżda f’dak l-istess perjodu, l-esportazzjonijiet tal-Italja lejn l-Asja kibru b’36% għal €6.1bn (£5.2bn; $6.6bn).
""Li jkollok gvern ta' appoġġ huwa żgur importanti,"" jgħid l-Ambaxxatur tal-Italja Brandi.
""Iżda vantaġġ kbir li ngawdu, flimkien ma 'stati oħra tal-UE, huwa l-ftehimiet ta' kummerċ ħieles li għandna ma 'ħafna pajjiżi Asjatiċi importanti,"" huwa jżid.
Madankollu opportunità - kemm jekk tad-deheb jew le - teżisti għall-produtturi Brittaniċi fid-dawl tal-Brexit.
Aktar minn 60,000 ruħ żaru l-avveniment ta’ din is-sena f’Singapore. Sal-bidu tad-deċennju li ġej, l-analisti jistmaw li n-nies fl-Asja se jonfqu $8tn kull sena fuq l-ikel.
""Il-potenzjal huwa enormi,"" tgħid Japnit Singh, uffiċjal kap operattiv fi Spire Research and Consulting f'Singapor.
“Ftit snin ilu, hawn kien iċċentrat ħafna fuq l-ikel lokali. Kont ngħid li qatt ma kien se jinbidel, imma kont żbaljat. Qed naraw trasformazzjoni fid-drawwiet – in-nies iridu jieklu ikel tal-Punent u lesti jħallsu għalih,” iżid.
Skont is-Sur Singh, iż-żieda fid-dħul, iż-żieda fl-ivvjaġġar u - b'mod kruċjali - il-midja soċjali għenu biex il-palat Asjatiku jsir dejjem aktar avventuruż.

Il-produtturi tal-ġobon Brittaniċi huma ħerqana li jesportaw il-prodotti tagħhom lejn l-Asja
It-tfittxija għal dan is-suq hija fiċ-ċentru tal-istrateġija kummerċjali tal-gvern tar-Renju Unit wara l-Brexit. Is-sena li għaddiet, il-Gran Brittanja ffirmat ftehim biex tingħaqad mal-Ftehim Komprensiv u Progressiv għal Sħubija Trans-Paċifiku (CPTPP), li huwa ftehim ta 'kummerċ ħieles bejn 11-il pajjiż.
Dak iż-żmien, il-Prim Ministru tar-Renju Unit Rishi Sunak faħħarha bħala turija tal-“benefiċċji ekonomiċi reali tal-libertajiet tagħna ta’ wara l-Brexit.”
Madankollu, l-istimi tal-gvern stess jgħidu li l-ftehim se jżid biss 0.08% mad-daqs tal-ekonomija tar-Renju Unit fuq għaxar snin. Barra minn hekk, diġà kellha ftehimiet ta' kummerċ ħieles mal-pajjiżi kollha fis-CPTPP, ħlief il-Malasja u l-Brunej.
Għalkemm l-esportaturi tal-ikel tar-Renju Unit qed jiġu ggwidati lejn reġjuni bħall-Asja, ir-realtà attwali hija li s-suq tal-UE għadu erba' darbiet akbar.
Il-problema hija li l-kummerċ mal-pajjiżi Ewropej issa qiegħed dejjem aktar mimli kwistjonijiet ta’ wara l-Brexit. Stima waħda reċenti poġġiet l-ispejjeż addizzjonali tal-burokrazija għal £58 miljun għall-esportaturi s-sena li għaddiet.
""Minħabba r-regolamenti l-ġodda kollha, fil-fatt huwa aktar faċli għalina li nbiegħu liċ-Ċina milli lil Franza - li huwa miġnun,"" jgħid is-Sur Jones minn Somerdale International.
Il-gvern tar-Renju Unit jinsisti li qed iħares lejn l-istampa fit-tul. Is-sena li għaddiet, is-Segretarju tal-Kummerċ Internazzjonali Kemi Badenoch qal lill-BBC li dawn is-swieq il-ġodda mhux se ""jissostitwixxu l-kummerċ tal-UE"", iżda pjuttost li kienu ""b'żieda"" miegħu.
""Ma tkunx tixtri kumpanija żgħira u tistenna li tkun qed twassal fl-istess jum - qed naħsbu dwar il-potenzjal,"" żiedet tgħid.
F'dak li għandu x'jaqsam mal-potenzjal, is-Sur Jones minn Somerdale International jaqbel: ""L-Union Jack fil-fatt għandu reputazzjoni deċenti barra l-pajjiż fejn jidħlu prestiġju u sikurezza tal-ikel, li hija speċjalment importanti fiċ-Ċina.""
Wara li daq il-ġobon tiegħu, il-punter Tajlandiż xettiku ta' qabel irritorna thumbs up ta' approvazzjoni. Għas-Sur Jones, dan kollu huwa parti mill-proċess edukattiv - biċċa waħda minn Wensleydale kull darba.

在亞洲，討論食物就像討論天氣一樣——人們可以聊上好幾個小時。
但當英國廣播公司 (BBC) 最近參觀該地區領先的美食和飲料活動之一時，我們發現，有些美食甚至讓美食家也啞口無言。
“英國菜？”一位泰國婦女疑惑地停頓了一下問。 「嗯……我不太確定那是什麼。那是香腸之類的東西嗎？
附近的一名馬來西亞男子毫不猶豫地發表了自己的看法：「這很無聊！絕對沒有什麼特別的，」他笑著說。
對於英國出口商來說，這些話是發人深省的，他們被承諾在脫歐後可以輕鬆進入利潤豐厚的新市場。
舉個例子，前國際貿易大臣利茲·特拉斯（Liz Truss）在 2021 年告訴英國食品生產商，他們有一個“黃金機會”，可以讓英國食品“躋身全球食品菜單之首”。
現實情況是，英國在銷售額和聲譽方面仍然遠遠落後於歐洲主要同業。
「教育人們是一項艱鉅的工作，」起司出口商薩默代爾國際公司的董事總經理史蒂芬瓊斯說。
他在新加坡 FHA 食品和飲料貿易展上的攤位上，向當地人介紹了一些聽起來很奇怪的奶酪，例如臭主教奶酪、雙格洛斯特奶酪和溫斯利代爾奶酪。
「法國人、瑞士人、義大利人——他們這樣做的時間比我們長得多。我們來得相當晚才傳達這一訊息，」他補充道。
看到成群結隊的東南亞遊客第一次嘗試並喜歡溫斯利代爾，肯定會讓人微笑。但與即將到來的意大利令人驚嘆的展覽相比，英國的小展館顯得相形見絀。
在那裡，您會看到米其林星級廚師進行現場烹飪演示，而義大利廚藝大師大賽的獲勝者則與該國大使閒聊。對義大利來說，向亞洲出售食品不僅有利於其經濟，而且長期以來一直是一種外交行為。
自去年起擔任義大利駐新加坡和文萊大使的但丁·布蘭迪 (Dante Brandi) 表示：“做這類事情是工作的重要組成部分。”

史蒂芬瓊斯在食品博覽會上與參觀者聊天，他說這是一項“教育人們的艱鉅工作”
布蘭迪先生在義大利三色旗和義大利外交部的標誌下接受英國廣播公司採訪時解釋了貿易展覽如何成為政府機構的一部分。
“這是我們所謂的‘Sistema Italia’的整體努力”，他說。 “這些機構都旨在推廣我們的食品、美食和生活方式，我們透過我們在世界各地的外交和領事網絡進行傳播。”
然而，顯然這種成功並非一蹴可幾。例如，節日糕點現在已成為新加坡超市的聖誕必備品。但最初將這種節日美食引入東南亞的女士表示，花了「數年的活動、品嚐和促銷」才最終將其推上這裡的貨架。
新加坡義大利熟食店 Jupiter 57 的朱塞皮娜·普拉瓦托 (Giuseppina Pravato) 表示：“食品顯然是義大利的主要出口產品，也是義大利人引以為傲的東西。”
「我們與義大利機構關係非常融洽，但 20 年前，基本上只有我一個人帶來數百件義大利節日糕點，然後將它們作為禮物送給願意嘗試的人，」她補充道。
英國和義大利之間的鴻溝並不令人意外。在很大程度上，這是一個長期問題，早於英國脫歐或現任英國政府，並涉及一個國家的基本經濟優先事項。
去年，義大利向全球出口了價值超過 644 億歐元（554 億英鎊；691 億美元）的食品和飲料，而英國則出口了 244 億英鎊（305 億美元）。當你將這些數字視為國內生產毛額 (GDP) 的比例時，你會發現出口食品和飲料對義大利經濟的價值大約是英國經濟的三倍。
大多數英國食品出口商似乎對自己在全球食品市場中的地位持務實的看法。許多人認為，問題在於政府在改變局勢方面沒有採取足夠的措施來兌現其言論。

事實上，駐新加坡的英國代表團告訴英國廣播公司，他們之所以能夠參加，是因為他們自掏腰包。
「自 2019 年以來，我們沒有收到任何政府資金來幫助我們參加此類展會，」食品和飲料出口商協會的 Karen Beston 說。
她補充說：“這使得我們很難在幾乎完全由各自政府資助的其他歐洲集團或其他世界集團中脫穎而出。”
當 BBC 向英國政府提出這個問題時，環境、食品和農村事務部 (Defra) 表示：「促進我們農民和食品生產商的利益是我們貿易政策的首要任務」。
Defra 也指出，儘管供應商沒有收到任何直接的公共資金來幫助他們參加貿易展覽，但去年它花費了 160 萬英鎊用於促進英國食品銷售的活動，例如品嚐和交流機會。
目前，英國向亞洲出口了價值35 億英鎊（44 億美元）的食品和飲料，自2019 年以來增長了18%。 。
但同期，義大利對亞洲的出口成長了 36%，達到 61 億歐元（52 億英鎊；66 億美元）。
「擁有一個支持性的政府絕對重要，」義大利大使布蘭迪說。
「但我們與其他歐盟國家一樣享有的一個主要優勢是我們與許多重要的亞洲國家簽訂的自由貿易協定，」他補充道。
儘管如此，英國脫歐後，英國生產商確實存在一個機會（無論是否是黃金機會）。
超過 60,000 人參觀了今年在新加坡舉行的活動。分析師估計，到下一個十年之初，亞洲人每年在食品上的支出將達到 8 兆美元。
新加坡 Spire Research and Consulting 首席營運長 Japnit Singh 表示：“潛力巨大。”
「幾年前，這裡非常以當地美食為中心。我曾經說過這永遠不會改變，但我錯了。我們看到了習慣的轉變——人們想吃西餐，並且願意為此付費，」他補充道。
辛格表示，收入的增加、旅行的增加以及最重要的是社群媒體使亞洲人的口味變得越來越冒險。

英國乳酪製造商熱衷於將產品出口到亞洲
追逐這一市場是英國政府脫歐後貿易策略的核心。去年，英國簽署了加入全面且先進的跨太平洋夥伴關係協定（CPTPP）的協議，這是11個國家之間的自由貿易協定。
當時，英國首相里希·蘇納克 (Rishi Sunak) 稱讚它展示了「英國脫歐後自由所帶來的真正經濟利益」。
然而，政府自己的估計稱，該協議在十年內只會使英國經濟規模增加0.08%。此外，除馬來西亞和汶萊外，中國已與CPTPP所有國家簽訂了自由貿易協定。
儘管英國食品出口商被引導到亞洲等地區發展，但目前的現實是歐盟市場仍然大四倍。
問題在於，與歐洲國家的貿易現在越來越充滿英國脫歐後的問題。最近的一項估計顯示，去年出口商的額外繁文縟節成本為 5800 萬英鎊。
「由於所有新規定，我們向中國銷售產品實際上比向法國銷售更容易——這太瘋狂了，」薩默代爾國際公司的瓊斯先生說。
英國政府堅稱正在著眼於更長期的前景。去年，國際貿易部長凱米·巴德諾克告訴英國廣播公司，這些新市場不會“取代歐盟貿易”，而是“補充”歐盟貿易。
「你不會購買一家小公司並期望它能夠在同一天交付 - 我們正在考慮潛力，」她補充道。
談到潛力，薩默代爾國際公司的瓊斯先生表示同意：“英國國旗實際上在國外享有很高的聲譽和食品安全，這在中國尤其重要。”
在品嚐了他的起司後，先前持懷疑態度的泰國賭客豎起了大拇指。對瓊斯先生來說，這都是教育過程的一部分——一次溫斯利代爾的一部分。

"英国脱欧后英国食品在亚洲的滞销
在亚洲，讨论食物就像讨论天气一样——人们可以聊上几个小时。
但当英国广播公司 (BBC) 最近参观该地区领先的美食和饮料活动之一时，我们发现，有些美食甚至让美食家也哑口无言。
“英国菜？”一位泰国妇女疑惑地停顿了一下问道。 “嗯……我不太确定那是什么。那是香肠之类的东西吗？”
附近的一名马来西亚男子毫不犹豫地发表了自己的看法：“这很无聊！绝对没有什么特别的，”他笑着说。
对于英国出口商来说，这些话是发人深省的，他们被承诺在脱欧后可以轻松进入利润丰厚的新市场。
举个例子，前国际贸易大臣利兹·特拉斯（Liz Truss）在 2021 年告诉英国食品生产商，他们有一个“黄金机会”，可以让英国食品“跻身全球食品菜单之首”。
现实情况是，英国在销售额和声誉方面仍然远远落后于欧洲主要同行。
“教育人们是一项艰巨的工作，”奶酪出口商萨默代尔国际公司的董事总经理斯蒂芬·琼斯说。
他在新加坡 FHA 食品和饮料贸易展上的摊位上，向当地人介绍了一些听起来很奇怪的奶酪，例如臭主教奶酪、双格洛斯特奶酪和温斯利代尔奶酪。
“法国人、瑞士人、意大利人——他们这样做的时间比我们长得多。我们来得相当晚才传达这一信息，”他补充道。
看到成群结队的东南亚游客第一次尝试并喜欢温斯利代尔，肯定会让人微笑。但与即将到来的意大利令人惊叹的展览相比，英国的小展馆显得相形见绌。
在那里，您会看到米其林星级厨师进行现场烹饪演示，而意大利厨艺大师大赛的获胜者则与该国大使闲聊。对于意大利来说，向亚洲出售食品不仅有利于其经济，而且长期以来一直是一种外交行为。
自去年起担任意大利驻新加坡和文莱大使的但丁·布兰迪 (Dante Brandi) 表示：“做这类事情是工作的重要组成部分。”
斯蒂芬·琼斯 (Stephen Jones)，奶酪出口商萨默代尔国际 (Somerdale International) 董事总经理
斯蒂芬·琼斯在食品博览会上与参观者聊天，他说这是一项“教育人们的艰巨工作”
布兰迪先生在意大利三色旗和意大利外交部的标志下接受英国广播公司采访时解释了贸易展览如何成为政府机构的一部分。
“这是我们所谓的‘Sistema Italia’的整体努力”，他说。 “这些机构都旨在推广我们的食品、美食和生活方式，我们通过我们在世界各地的外交和领事网络进行传播。”
然而，显然这种成功并非一蹴而就。例如，节日糕点现在已成为新加坡超市的圣诞必备品。但最初将这种节日美食引入东南亚的女士表示，花了“数年的活动、品尝和促销”才最终将其推上这里的货架。
新加坡意大利熟食店 Jupiter 57 的朱塞皮娜·普拉瓦托 (Giuseppina Pravato) 表示：“食品显然是意大利的主要出口产品，也是意大利人引以为傲的东西。”
“我们与意大利机构关系非常融洽，但 20 年前，基本上只有我一个人带来数百件意大利节日糕点，然后将它们作为礼物送给愿意尝试的人，”她补充道。
英国和意大利之间的鸿沟并不令人意外。在很大程度上，这是一个长期问题，早于英国脱欧或现任英国政府，并且涉及一个国家的基本经济优先事项。
去年，意大利向全球出口了价值超过 644 亿欧元（554 亿英镑；691 亿美元）的食品和饮料，而英国则出口了 244 亿英镑（305 亿美元）。当你将这些数字视为国内生产总值 (GDP) 的比例时，就会发现出口食品和饮料对意大利经济的价值大约是英国经济的三倍。
大多数英国食品出口商似乎对自己在全球食品市场中的地位持务实的看法。许多人认为，问题在于政府在改变局势方面没有采取足够的措施来兑现其言论。

当 BBC 向英国政府提出这一问题时，环境、食品和农村事务部 (Defra) 表示：“促进我们农民和食品生产商的利益是我们贸易政策的首要任务”。
Defra 还指出，尽管供应商没有收到任何直接的公共资金来帮助他们参加贸易展览，但去年它花费了 160 万英镑用于促进英国食品销售的活动，例如品尝和交流机会。
目前，英国向亚洲出口了价值 35 亿英镑（44 亿美元）的食品和饮料，自 2019 年以来增长了 18%。英国部长们会说，这证明英国作为“独立贸易国家”的地位已经得到提升。自离开欧盟以来，该国的企业受益匪浅。
但同期，意大利对亚洲的出口增长了 36%，达到 61 亿欧元（52 亿英镑；66 亿美元）。
“拥有一个支持性的政府绝对重要，”意大利大使布兰迪说。
“但我们与其他欧盟国家一样享有的一个主要优势是我们与许多重要的亚洲国家签订的自由贸易协定，”他补充道。
尽管如此，英国脱欧后，英国生产商确实存在一个机会（无论是否是黄金机会）。

辛格表示，收入的增加、旅行的增加以及最重要的是社交媒体使亚洲人的口味变得越来越冒险。

"Il-bejgħ iebes ta’ wara l-Brexit għall-ikel Brittaniku fl-Asja
Fl-Asja, tiddiskuti l-ikel hija bħal tiddiskuti t-temp - jista 'jwassal lin-nies jitkellmu għal sigħat.
Iżda meta l-BBC reċentement żar wieħed mill-avvenimenti ewlenin tal-ikel u x-xorb tar-reġjun, deher ċar li hemm xi kċejjen li jħallu anke lil dawk li jsejħu l-ikel bla kliem.
""Ikel Ingliż?"" tistaqsi waħda Tajlandiża b’pawsa mħawda. ""Um... M'inix ċert x'inhu dak. Dan hu bħal zalzett?”
Raġel Malasjan fil-viċin kien inqas lura milli joffri l-opinjoni tiegħu: “Huwa boring! Żgur xejn speċjali,” jidħaq.
Dawn huma kliem li jqawwi l-moħħ għall-esportaturi Brittaniċi, li ġew imwiegħda aċċess faċli għal swieq ġodda li jrendu wara l-Brexit.
Fl-2021, biex nagħti eżempju wieħed, l-eks Segretarju tal-Kummerċ Internazzjonali Liz Truss qalet lill-produtturi tal-ikel tar-Renju Unit li kellhom ""opportunità tad-deheb"" biex l-ikel Brittaniku ""fil-quċċata tal-menu tal-ikel globali"".
Ir-realtà hi li r-Renju Unit għadu lura ferm wara l-kontropartijiet Ewropej ewlenin tiegħu, kemm f’termini ta’ bejgħ kif ukoll ta’ reputazzjoni.
""Huwa xogħol enormi li jeduka lin-nies,"" jgħid Stephen Jones, direttur maniġerjali tal-esportaturi tal-ġobon Somerdale International.
Mill-post tiegħu fil-FHA Food and Beverage Trade Show f'Singapore, huwa jintroduċi lin-nies tal-lokal għal ġobnijiet ta 'ħoss stramb bħal Stinking Bishop, Double Gloucester u Wensleydale.
“Il-Franċiżi, l-Iżvizzeri, it-Taljani - ilhom jagħmluha ħafna itwal milli għandna. Qed nidħlu pjuttost tard biex inwasslu dak il-messaġġ,” żied jgħid.
Li tara gruppi ta' viżitaturi tal-Asja tax-Xlokk jippruvaw - u jogħġbu - Wensleydale għall-ewwel darba ċertament tqajjem tbissima. Iżda l-pavaljun żgħir tar-Renju Unit huwa mxejjen mill-wiri tal-Italja li jwaqqaf l-ispettaklu, li jinsab l-kantuniera.
Hemmhekk issib koki bi stilla Michelin jagħtu dimostrazzjonijiet ta’ tisjir ħajjin, filwaqt li r-rebbieħa tal-MasterChef Taljana titkellem mal-ambaxxatur ta’ pajjiżha. Għall-Italja, minbarra li huwa tajjeb għall-ekonomija tagħha, il-bejgħ tal-ikel lill-Asja ilu żmien twil att ta’ diplomazija.
""Li tagħmel dan it-tip ta 'affarijiet hija parti kbira tax-xogħol,"" jgħid Dante Brandi, li ilu l-ambaxxatur Taljan għal Singapor u l-Brunej mis-sena li għaddiet.
Stephen Jones, direttur maniġerjali tal-esportaturi tal-ġobon Somerdale International
Stephen Jones, hawn iċċettja mal-viżitaturi fil-fiera tal-ikel, jgħid li huwa ""xogħol massiv li jeduka lin-nies""
Meta tkellem mal-BBC taħt tricolor Taljan u l-logo tal-Ministeru tal-Affarijiet Barranin ta’ pajjiżu, is-Sur Brandi jispjega kif il-wirjiet kummerċjali jiffurmaw parti mill-makkinarju tal-gvern.
""Huwa sforz ġenerali minn dak li nsejħu 'Sistema Italia'"", jgħid. ""Il-grupp ta' istituzzjonijiet kollha kellhom l-għan li jippromwovu l-ikel, il-gastronomija u l-istil ta' ħajja tagħna, li nxerrdu permezz tan-netwerk diplomatiku u konsulari tagħna madwar id-dinja kollha.""
Madankollu, huwa ċar li dan it-tip ta 'suċċess ma jintlaħaqx mil-lum għal għada. Pereżempju, il-panettone issa huwa apparat tal-Milied fis-supermarkits ta’ Singapor. Iżda l-mara li oriġinarjament introduċiet it-trattament tal-festi fix-Xlokk tal-Asja tgħid li ħadu ""snin ta 'attivitajiet, tidwiq u promozzjonijiet"" biex eventwalment daħħalha fuq l-ixkafef hawn.
""L-ikel huwa ovvjament esportazzjoni ewlenija għall-Italja u xi ħaġa li t-Taljani huma kburin ħafna biha,"" tgħid Giuseppina Pravato minn Jupiter 57, delicatessen Taljana f'Singapore.
""Għandna rapport kbir mal-istituzzjonijiet Taljani, iżda 20 sena ilu kont bażikament jien biss, li ndaħħal mijiet ta 'biċċiet ta' panettone u litteralment tajthom b'rigal lil min jipprovah,"" żżid.
Il-golf bejn il-Gran Brittanja u, f’dan il-każ, l-Italja m’għandux ikun sorpriża. Fil-biċċa l-kbira, din hija kwistjoni fit-tul, li hija qabel il-Brexit jew il-gvern attwali tar-Renju Unit, u titkellem dwar il-prijoritajiet ekonomiċi fundamentali ta’ pajjiż.
Is-sena l-oħra l-Italja esportat aktar minn €64.4bn (£55.4bn; $69.1bn) f'ikel u xorb globalment, filwaqt li r-Renju Unit biegħ £24.4bn ($30.5bn). Meta tħares lejn dawn in-numri bħala proporzjon tal-prodott gross domestiku (PGD), l-esportazzjoni tal-ikel u x-xorb hija madwar tliet darbiet aktar siewja għall-ekonomija Taljana milli hija għall-Gran Brittanja.
Il-biċċa l-kbira tal-esportaturi tal-ikel Brittaniċi jidhru li jieħdu ħsieb prammatiku ta 'fejn jinsabu fis-suq tal-ikel globali. Il-kwistjoni, ħafna jargumentaw, hija li l-gvern mhux qed jagħmel biżżejjed biex jaqbel mar-retorika tiegħu meta jiġi biex ibiddel is-sitwazzjoni.

Wirja Ingliża f’wirja tal-ikel f’Singapore
Fil-fatt, id-delegazzjoni tar-Renju Unit f’Singapore qalet lill-BBC li setgħu jattendu biss għax ħallsu minn buthom.
""Sa mill-2019, ma rċevejna l-ebda flus tal-gvern biex jgħinuna naslu għal dawn it-tipi ta 'wirjiet,"" tgħid Karen Beston mill-Assoċjazzjoni tal-Esportaturi tal-Ikel u x-Xorb.
""Jagħmel diffiċli ħafna li tispikka kontra l-gruppi Ewropej l-oħra jew gruppi dinjija oħra li huma kważi ffinanzjati bis-sħiħ mill-gvernijiet rispettivi tagħhom,"" żżid hi.
Meta dan tressaq lill-gvern tar-Renju Unit mill-BBC, id-Dipartiment għall-Ambjent, l-Ikel u l-Affarijiet Rurali (Defra) qal: ""Il-promozzjoni tal-interessi tal-bdiewa u l-produtturi tal-ikel tagħna hija prijorità tal-politika kummerċjali tagħna"".
Defra irrimarkat ukoll li – għalkemm il-fornituri ma jirċievu l-ebda flus pubbliċi diretti biex jgħinuhom jattendu wirjiet kummerċjali – is-sena li għaddiet nefqet £1.6m f’avvenimenti biex jippromwovi l-bejgħ ta’ ikel Brittaniku, bħal tastings u opportunitajiet ta’ networking.
Bħalissa, ir-Renju Unit jesporta ikel u xorb b'valur ta' £3.5bn ($4.4bn) lejn l-Asja, li hija żieda ta' 18% mill-2019. Din hija prova, jgħidu l-ministri Brittaniċi, li l-istatus tal-Gran Brittanja bħala ""nazzjon kummerċjali indipendenti"" għandu ibbenefika lin-negozji tal-pajji] minn meta [alla mill-Unjoni Ewropea.
Iżda f’dak l-istess perjodu, l-esportazzjonijiet tal-Italja lejn l-Asja kibru b’36% għal €6.1bn (£5.2bn; $6.6bn).
""Li jkollok gvern ta' appoġġ huwa żgur importanti,"" jgħid l-Ambaxxatur tal-Italja Brandi.
""Iżda vantaġġ kbir li ngawdu, flimkien ma 'stati oħra tal-UE, huwa l-ftehimiet ta' kummerċ ħieles li għandna ma 'ħafna pajjiżi Asjatiċi importanti,"" huwa jżid.
Madankollu opportunità - kemm jekk tad-deheb jew le - teżisti għall-produtturi Brittaniċi fid-dawl tal-Brexit.
Aktar minn 60,000 ruħ żaru l-avveniment ta’ din is-sena f’Singapore. Sal-bidu tad-deċennju li ġej, l-analisti jistmaw li n-nies fl-Asja se jonfqu $8tn kull sena fuq l-ikel.
""Il-potenzjal huwa enormi,"" tgħid Japnit Singh, uffiċjal kap operattiv fi Spire Research and Consulting f'Singapor.
“Ftit snin ilu, hawn kien iċċentrat ħafna fuq l-ikel lokali. Kont ngħid li qatt ma kien se jinbidel, imma kont żbaljat. Qed naraw trasformazzjoni fid-drawwiet – in-nies iridu jieklu ikel tal-Punent u lesti jħallsu għalih,” iżid.
Skont is-Sur Singh, iż-żieda fid-dħul, iż-żieda fl-ivvjaġġar u - b'mod kruċjali - il-midja soċjali għenu biex il-palat Asjatiku jsir dejjem aktar avventuruż.
Somerdale International Ġobon Somerdale.Somerdale International
Il-produtturi tal-ġobon Brittaniċi huma ħerqana li jesportaw il-prodotti tagħhom lejn l-Asja
It-tfittxija għal dan is-suq hija fiċ-ċentru tal-istrateġija kummerċjali tal-gvern tar-Renju Unit wara l-Brexit. Is-sena li għaddiet, il-Gran Brittanja ffirmat ftehim biex tingħaqad mal-Ftehim Komprensiv u Progressiv għal Sħubija Trans-Paċifiku (CPTPP), li huwa ftehim ta 'kummerċ ħieles bejn 11-il pajjiż.
Dak iż-żmien, il-Prim Ministru tar-Renju Unit Rishi Sunak faħħarha bħala turija tal-“benefiċċji ekonomiċi reali tal-libertajiet tagħna ta’ wara l-Brexit.”
Madankollu, l-istimi tal-gvern stess jgħidu li l-ftehim se jżid biss 0.08% mad-daqs tal-ekonomija tar-Renju Unit fuq għaxar snin. Barra minn hekk, diġà kellha ftehimiet ta' kummerċ ħieles mal-pajjiżi kollha fis-CPTPP, ħlief il-Malasja u l-Brunej.
Għalkemm l-esportaturi tal-ikel tar-Renju Unit qed jiġu ggwidati lejn reġjuni bħall-Asja, ir-realtà attwali hija li s-suq tal-UE għadu erba' darbiet akbar.
Il-problema hija li l-kummerċ mal-pajjiżi Ewropej issa qiegħed dejjem aktar mimli kwistjonijiet ta’ wara l-Brexit. Stima waħda reċenti poġġiet l-ispejjeż addizzjonali tal-burokrazija għal £58 miljun għall-esportaturi s-sena li għaddiet.
""Minħabba r-regolamenti l-ġodda kollha, fil-fatt huwa aktar faċli għalina li nbiegħu liċ-Ċina milli lil Franza - li huwa miġnun,"" jgħid is-Sur Jones minn Somerdale International.
Il-gvern tar-Renju Unit jinsisti li qed iħares lejn l-istampa fit-tul. Is-sena li għaddiet, is-Segretarju tal-Kummerċ Internazzjonali Kemi Badenoch qal lill-BBC li dawn is-swieq il-ġodda mhux se ""jissostitwixxu l-kummerċ tal-UE"", iżda pjuttost li kienu ""b'żieda"" miegħu.
""Ma tkunx tixtri kumpanija żgħira u tistenna li tkun qed twassal fl-istess jum - qed naħsbu dwar il-potenzjal,"" żiedet tgħid.
F'dak li għandu x'jaqsam mal-potenzjal, is-Sur Jones minn Somerdale International jaqbel: ""L-Union Jack fil-fatt għandu reputazzjoni deċenti barra l-pajjiż fejn jidħlu prestiġju u sikurezza tal-ikel, li hija speċjalment importanti fiċ-Ċina.""
Wara li daq il-ġobon tiegħu, il-punter Tajlandiż xettiku ta' qabel irritorna thumbs up ta' approvazzjoni. Għas-Sur Jones, dan kollu huwa parti mill-proċess edukattiv - biċċa waħda minn Wensleydale kull darba.

![[Hot Off The Press] — Chapter Six](https://b.thumbs.redditmedia.com/inEC5vdxIlxXnduyO-DedKlMn43YrFK8uZ8nyBj_Yeo.jpg "[Hot Off The Press] — Chapter Six") | https://preview.redd.it/34y98l11mpzc1.jpg?width=1410&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=5d12592f7af99dbfc4b46fa31b0260b7485649bc submitted by critical_courtney to redditserials [link] [comments] My Discord Buy me a cup of coffee (if you want) Previous Chapter Chapter Six: (Dawn) My house was quiet save for the occasional bleating of Billie outside. And he was only vocal for a little bit in the morning. The warm smell of coffee filled the kitchen as I fried up an egg sandwich courtesy of the Fates. A soft clicking noise kicked on as the spout of my coffee maker whirred to life and granted me the caffeine I’d need to start my day. “Thanks be to Kaldi,” I mumbled, pulling out a white mug with a black witch hat and boots painted on the side. Underneath the logo were the words, “Nice shoes. Wanna have hex?” I grinned as I filled the mug with coffee and watched the steam float up to gently kiss my nose. I didn’t add any cream or sugar. They were mainly in my cabinet for guests. Guests like Frankie Dee, who definitely shouldn’t be on my mind right now. Because we were professional business partners. Not romantic partners who fell in love after a decidedly amusing one-night stand. No need to remember how soft her lips were or how she squirmed under my touch. Because there was no way that was happening again. Yup, I thought, sipping my coffee, picturing things I definitely shouldn’t be. No way. I made quick work of my breakfast while scrolling through my social media feeds and replying to a few comments I’d gotten about yesterday’s podcast episode. A few minutes later, I left my phone on my nightstand, donned a simple pair of ripped jeans and a purple tank top, and went into the backyard. The air was still a bit nippy for a tank top, but I’d be fine once I got used to it. Billie ran up to me as soon as I stepped onto the lawn. Picking the goat up, I kissed his head gently three times and giggled. “Okay, my adorable little Billie. I need you to watch the Fates while I say hi to Mother. Can you do that?” “Baa!” my furry little friend bleated. “Thatta boy.” I set him down and stepped over the ranch fence and chicken wire into the patch of woods behind my home. Maple and elm trees greeted me with open branches as my bare feet traced over the soil. Taking a deep breath of the cool morning wind, I made my way about 100 feet from my property line to a faerie ring of mushrooms. Reaching into my pocket, I pulled out a few pieces of candy, unwrapped them, and placed them in the circle. “Gotta keep the fae happy,” I said, grinning. “I certainly don’t want them coming for a visit.” A little further into the woods, I found my usual morning meditation spot between two tree stumps. I’d dug out a little hollow in the earth next to a bayberry bush. Sitting cross-legged, I lowered myself into the little hollow and took a deep breath, closing my eyes. Clearing my mind usually took a few minutes as I typically pictured all the things I had waiting for me ahead in the day to come. But this morning most of my thoughts focussed on a certain newspaper editor. Squinting, I tried to chase them away. The most I managed was to push those thoughts out to the fringe of my subconscious. They were like a herd of ornery goats, and I didn’t have a border collie to properly lead them where they needed to go. “That’ll have to do,” I mumbled, taking another deep breath, holding it for 10 seconds, and letting it go slowly, feeling my mind sink into the welcome embrace of Mother Gaia as I did every morning. The feel of soil between my toes, the sound of a blue jay calling out above me, the taste of morning fog that rolled from Casco Bay and had yet to yield its grip on this cool morning to an eventual sunny day. In all of these things, there was magic, and I tapped into it, surrendered myself to this beautiful gift of life. With my body held in place by the roots of this small patch of forest, I opened my spirit to Mother Gaia for a new day of life. “Mother Gaia, I thank you for the many gifts you provide each day. I greet you by name this day as I do every morning with notes of gratitude on my lips. I sing the song of your beauty with each breath of air released from my lungs. You feed me. You clothe me. You put the very earth under my feet. I receive these blessings and bow my head to the grand start of another new day. May I honor you with it,” I prayed aloud to the goddess. The wind picked up, and I sat there breathing, not in silence, but in the morning sounds of this tiny patch of forest on the west side of Portland. Someone in the next neighborhood over was walking an excited dog barking at something. In the distance, I heard Billie sound off again. Behind me, a fox darted over one of the stumps and between some tall grass. My mind drifted to rest as I felt waves of energy from the Earth moving through the ground beneath me and up through the trees. With a slower breath, I folded into the parcel of nature that held me and remained at peace for a while. An hour later, I was showered and sitting in my recording studio down in the basement. Black absorbers hung on each wall around me. The brown and white carpet muffled my footsteps as I walked over to my laptop and turned everything on. While my Adobe Audition booted up and started syncing my files, I walked over to a table behind me and lit some sandalwood incense, softly blowing on the embers to coax wafting smoke to life. It didn’t take long before the smell of incense filled my basement studio. From one of my basement hopper windows, I saw all of the Fates rush by, chasing something. A snake maybe? Giggling, I took a seat at the computer desk and swung the microphone and its protector around toward me. I cleared my throat and blew my nose. “Testing 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, testing. Testing,” I said, adjusting the levels of my recording. I pulled a worn notebook with Wednesday Addams on the cover toward me and flipped to the notes I’d made for this episode. I need to get a new one with Jenna Ortega on the cover, I thought, seeing I only had three or four pags left in this notebook. Yawning and shaking my head from side to side, I hit the record button and spoke the opening lines of my podcast. “You’re listening to Dawn’s Divinations, your #1 witchy podcast for everything from astrology to tarot. On today’s episode, I’ll be discussing tips for grounding yourself against chaotic energy, what’s up with Jupiter lately, and I have a recorded interview with Maria Gonzalez about her newest book on shadow work and what we all get wrong when trying to tackle it.” Pausing for a moment, I took a breath away from my microphone and a quick sip of water. “But before we get into all that, I want to take a minute to thank the sponsor for today’s episode, Bombo Socks. When I’m hiking in Acadia National Park and trying to connect with nature, it’s so much easier to get my head right when I’m wearing socks that keep my feet dry and cool no matter the weather. Bombo Socks have a variety of materials all ethically sourced and made by hand for any of your comfort needs, whether you’re hiking down a trail or recording a witchy podcast episode.” I spent the rest of the morning recording, editing, and proofing the latest episode before submitting it to my distributor that would push it across to various platforms where my listeners were subscribed to me. When I’d finished adding a few bonus recordings for my Patreon subscribers, I got up and stretched. “Oh goddess, I’m tired,” I said. Right about that time, my stomach let me know that the egg sandwich I’d eaten a few hours ago was depleted. And it hungered for more. “Easy, tum tum. You’re growling louder than I did reading the things Gretchen said to Imogen in the restaurant.” As I tried to figure out what I could make for lunch with rice, flour, and breadcrumbs, I reminded myself to go grocery shopping tonight. Just like I’d reminded myself last night before playing two hours of “Little Kitty, Big City.” My phone buzzed, and I found a text from Keyla waiting for me as I unlocked the screen. “Client canceled meeting. Lunch?” she wrote. As I grinned and confirmed our lunch date, I practically ran into my room to throw on a purple v-neck shirt, a black broom skirt, and a long flowing jacket I left unbuttoned. Keyla worked at a little accounting office in Knightville, so I made the 15-minute drive along the Fore River and over the Casco Bay Bridge. I always liked Knightville. It was quiet and had such pretty views of Portland’s harbor from Thomas Knight Park. You could walk up a little ramp to a platform halfway between the Casco Bay Bridge and the water, and the harbor would hide no secrets from you on a sunny day. Cruise ships that docked in town, sailboats, and cargo vessels having their shipping containers unloaded via crane, you could see it all. And a little further in the distance, you could spot some of the taller buildings in downtown Portland like the M&T Bank Building and the Time and Temperature Building flashing words like “Call Joe.” Half of Knightville seemed like a little residential cluster just across the water from Maine’s biggest city, and half of it seemed like a little downtown section for SoPo. Sitting right smack dab in the middle of the little neighborhood was a Mexican restaurant called Taco Duo. I walked inside to the smell of salsa and cooked beef, instantly reminding me how hungry I was. Working while hungry. Who did that remind me of? A certain newspaper editor I definitely wasn’t still thinking about now that my podcast was finished and uploaded. Sitting at an orange table surrounded by blue and yellow chairs, I spotted perhaps the only real friend I’d made since moving to Maine. She was munching on chips and salsa frowning at her phone when I walked over. “Hey girl!” she said, standing up and throwing her arms around me. I smiled and returned Keyla’s crushing hug. “Well, that’s a much happier look than the one you had five seconds ago. Did another coworker ask why you spelled your name ‘weird’ again?” I asked as we both sat down. Neither of us needed a menu. We’d both eaten here enough to have the damn thing memorized in English and Spanish. Keyla rolled her eyes. “Not quite. Thankfully, I have nothing new to report from the accounting firm of Snow and Cream. But I did make my boss squirm last week by asking what the office’s plans for celebrating Juneteenth this year were. That man set a land speed record for sweat. His shirt was soaked in about 20 seconds,” she said, giggling. I snickered. Sitting across from me was a tall, gorgeous Black woman wearing a nice blouse and slacks. She looked every part the role of an accountant. But seeing as Maine was literally the whitest state in the U.S., Keyla didn’t exactly look like a carbon copy of her coworkers, most of whom were middle-aged white men who drove nice trucks or SUVs to the office and all looked like they would repeatedly hire a new guy by the name of Ben Wyatt, only to have him quit minutes later. If Keyla didn’t draw the occasional glance for her skin color, she might be stared at for her shaved head. It was the typical bullshit people of color dealt with existing in a society we’d constructed primarily for people who looked like me. We both met on the Merrill Theatre fundraising committee, a group of five people who help plan how best to take money from people to keep a beautiful and underfunded fine arts location from being shuttered and bulldozed for luxury condos or some bullshit. “No, I was scowling because I haven’t been able to find any resources for dating, uh, trans men,” Keyla said, putting her phone in her purse. I flashed her a wicked grin. “Oh? Got yourself a new boyfriend, Keyla? And why haven’t I seen any pictures or even heard this man’s name? You’ve been holding out on me!” My best friend in the entire world rolled her eyes for a second time, and we got up to order our food. Before long, she had a chorizo burrito, and I had a plate of mole enchiladas with beans and rice. Between mouthfuls of delicious food, I poked at Keyla’s dating life again. “So. . . his name?” She looked up and finished a bite before answering. “His name is Lalo. We go to the same gym. He’s been helping me with weightlifting and eventually asked for my number.” My smile only grew. “Yeah. . . and?” She sneered. “Bitch, shut up. I ain’t like that. . . not yet, anyway.” “There it is!” I almost whooped. She jabbed a finger in my face. “You shut that mouth, or I’ll turn you over to the Church and tell them you’re secretly a witch. They’ll give you the rack or something.” “Keyla, I already have a perfectly functional rack.” She raised an eyebrow but couldn’t keep from snickering. “And tell me. . . has anybody made good use of it lately? I mean — it’s been two months since Jessica dumped you, right? How do you know your tits are still perfectly functional?” I stared down at the table and found myself at a loss for words. I was thinking about Frankie Dee again and the feeling of her breasts pressed against mine. The way they — fuck! The goal was to keep things professional. And I couldn’t do that if I kept wishing she’d get under me again (and stay awake this time). “Oh my god, you’re picturing someone right now, aren’t you? Who is she? Tell me her name.” “Oh no no, my friend. You first. Tell me about Lalo,” I said, taking another bite of my enchilada. Keyla scratched her cheek and then looked at her plate, not eating. “He’s really cute, got a body that looks like it was chiseled by a Renaissance sculptor.” I cocked my head to the side as a husband and wife got up from the table beside us to leave and head home. “Then what’s the issue? It sounds like you’re attracted to him.” “I am! He’s great. And he makes me laugh. The other day we were passing a truck that had a license plate with the letters F-O-O-F-O-O on it. He said, ‘Huh. Must belong to a bunny.”” I just stared at my bestie and started to reevaluate my friend options. It only took me three years to make a real friend up here in Maine. I bet I could shorten the next friend search to two years. “That’s not funny, Keyla. That’s just sad.” She smiled. “Okay, so his jokes aren’t funny. But Lalo THINKS he’s funny. And I find that shit hilarious. I just. . . I’ve never dated a trans man before, and I want to make sure I don’t accidentally say something insensitive, ya know? I fully accept he’s a man. He’s a man’s man. And bonus, Lalo was raised without any macho bullshit or toxic masculinity.” I just ate quietly while I listened. “I like him plenty. And him trusting me with that secret before we even went on an official date took guts. I just want to make sure I’m being respectful and returning that courtesy,” she said. Reaching across the table, I took her hand. She looked up, and I smiled. “I think you’re going to be perfectly fine, Keyla. Just treat him like any other guy you’ve dated. Minus Robert, because that poor dude is probably still in therapy after what you did to him.” She scowled. “That fucker knows what he did and absolutely had it coming.” I threw up my hands in surrender. One of the cashiers stared at us and shook his head before walking back into the kitchen. My eyes wandered around to the painted yellow walls of the restaurant, walls lined with double lights, painted flowers, and framed art. Keyla’s burrito had officially broken into pieces, so she’d transitioned to finishing the insides with a spoon. I watched as she scooped up pork and potatoes. “So, tell me about this girl,” Keyla said, narrowing her eyes. I sighed. “What’s to tell? She’s managing editor of the Portland Lighthouse-Journal, the same paper I just signed a contract with to become their astrology editor,” I said. “Frankie told me she wants to keep things professional.” Keyla drooped a little, almost like she was feeling sorry for me. Hell, with how badly I wanted to do things to Frankie Dee and have her do them to me, I felt sorry for me. “Of course, this was after I took Frankie home semi-drunk from a book club meeting, and we fooled around,” I mumbled, taking a drink of my tea. My bestie’s eyes widened, and she pointed a finger in my face. “I think you should have started your story there, Dawn. Jesus. I believe your new coworker would call that ‘burying the lede.’ You took your future coworker home from a bar, and she asked to keep things professional afterward?” A little boy with a skateboard came in and picked up his to-go order, only to be scolded by an employee for trying to skate between tables on the way out. “There’s nuance! Context! Geez. Neither of us knew who we were. It was her first time at the book club meeting, and we’d only previously communicated over email,” I said, finishing my enchiladas. “So. . . you didn’t know. Damn, Dawn. You sure do like your complicated romances,” Keyla said, rubbing the back of her neck. “So what are you doing to do?” I shrugged. “What can I do?” I said, with my elbows on the table. “There are times when she looks at me where I can practically hear her begging me to hold her. It’s like. . . she’s being crushed by this boulder, and I’m the first person to walk by in days. And the way she takes me seriously and asks serious questions about my craft, it just. . .,” I trailed off. My heart quivered hearing her ask me questions about Artemis and The Morrigan again. I wanted her to see more of me. Gods! I wanted her to know every inch of me, body and soul. Midnight and magic. Looking up at Keyla, I sighed. “She sees me, Keyla. And I know she doesn’t want to keep things professional. I think she’s secretly hoping I’ll push at the door until she’s left with no choice but to open it and press our lips together. But until she says that. . . I can’t know for sure.” The accountant across from me raised an eyebrow and shook her head. “Damn, bitch. You are down bad.” My phone vibrated. Looking at the screen, my heart started racing for an entirely different reason. And for a moment, all I could hear was a man shouting from the pulpit and smell the odor of old carpet. I could taste the wafers and grape juice. Somewhere in the back of my head, Mom’s voice said, “I was wrong. Run.” “So what are you going to do?” Keyla asked. I just shook my head staring at the name “Ex-Father (Shitbag)” on my phone’s screen. My heart thumped even harder in my chest as I declined the call and fought to keep from screaming, “Leave me alone!” Amid all the panic, I felt Keyla’s hand on my arm. “Dawn? Are you okay?” I put my phone back in my purse and wiped my forehead. “Yeah! Yeah. . . sorry. Just kind of zoned out there for a moment. What were we talking about again?” The restaurant’s phone rang behind me as a customer called in an order. “I asked what you were going to do about this Frankie girl, and you got really pale really fast. And it takes a lot to make you look pale,” she said. Shrugging, all I could do was say, “I don’t know what I’m going to do.” What was I going to do? |
