#humbolt fog.

[A LITTLE BIT OF "FUNKALICIOUSNESS" COMING FROM THAT HUMBOLT FOG. NOBODY TAKES THE LEAD ROLE EXCEPT THE DUCK BACON.]

Humbolt Fog does NOT pair well with original flavor zero sugar monster :/

ARICA, CHILE

We've now arrived in Chile after 2 days at sea, mainly in fog or cloud but at least we've seen a lot of wildlife already. We have been following the coastline along the Humbolt current, a cold current coming up from Antarctica which creates a cool stream of water through what is mainly tropical waters. That makes both for foggy conditions but also whales who follow the current and continental shelf along the coastline. We seen various pods of whales including Sei whales, with their curved dorsal fin and probably a Brideys whale with triangular fin though it could have been Peruvian whale. The highlight though was seeing a humpback which swam virtually under our window, so close I had to zoom out to fit it into a photo and it then went "lob back" which is when 3/4 of the whale flips up to then slap the tail down sending sonar signals through the water. Not the sharpest of photos as it was through glass but the timing was spot on! ( will post from main camera when home).

We've also had the usual reading, bridge, ukulele sessions but some things have been curtailed given covid seems to be taking hold a bit again with several people we know having it. However, no mask wearing as yet and though we've both had the dreaded cabin cough, we don't seem to have been worse. We had a 60-70s party as we left Peru, with my donning my Bay City Roller tartan trimmed trousers and t shirt - all a bit of fun and it was a bit different having a deck party at night.

We are now in Chile at our first port of Arica, where we've arrived a day earlier than planned as we had to curtail our time in Callao, Peru due to the troubles in Lima. This means we've got 2 days here now and an extra tour around the city booked for today.

A Lewis traditional Boxing Day meal. In addition to the forepictured ham and turkey, cold slices with chips (aka French fries.) With a side plate of cheeses and my own bread. Humbolt Fog (California,) Cabot cheddar (Vermont,) Amish butter (Pennsylvania,) and ploughman chutney (UK.) Is this appealing? Happy Feast of St Stephen.

Arcana Characters Charcuterie Boards:

Lucio – Who knows what meal this is, but it was definitely expensive (also tasty, but perhaps a bit overrated.) A variety of interesting offerings that may be a little much, but do go well together.

- Drunken Goat: A wine bathed goat cheese, while the rind provides some complexity to the flavor, overall this is a pleasant approachable cheese with a slight tang and a soft paste.

- Pomegranate Seeds: Tart and tangy, perfect with any goat cheese.

- Humbolt Fog: A bloomy goat cheese, the vegetable ash wrapping gives this round its distinct coloration. Crumbly on the inside and creamy on the outside with a familiar goat tang which increases toward the rind.

- Rogue Smoky Blue: A mild blue given a powerful punch of smoke.

- Mama Lil’s Spicy Goat Peppers: Tangy peppers brined in oil, they have a sweet heat that goes nicely with goat cheeses.

- Brioche Loaf: Rich and buttery, it’s flavor can overwhelm lighter cheese but is good for those that have some tartness and tang of their own.

- Chocolate Hazelnuts: Crunchy and sweet, these are a decadent followup to the richness of this board.

Drink Paring: Homo Erectus IPA – Because he has a 13-year-old’s sense of humor and conviction that adults select beer based on alcoholic content. The beer is significantly brighter and better balanced than he is though.

You seem like the kind of person who would have strong opinions and/or interesting facts about air plants to share. also please explain them to me because no dirt?? how tho??

ohh man...love those little lads. to be completely honest i’m neutral on them as houseplants, but their biology is kind of hardcore. 

the ‘air plant’ genus (as in the air plants sold in stores and stuff) is called Tillandsia. they’re native to central and south america. i love the first hand account of them in Carlos Magdalena’s The Plant Messiah --which is a really good book and one i recommend to anybody wanting to read something both plant science specific and accessible to non-academics-- and i always end up thinking about it when i see them anywhere day to day, because it’s a really vivid and kind of haunting description of how these plants live in the wild. it’s kind of a longer quote (pages 169-170), but it’s crazy to think about knowing how they’re most well known in north america as houseplants of all things: 

“The National Reserve of San Fernando, about half an hour’s drive from Nazca, is devoted to the rich wildlife areas of the sea and the fog-dependent vegetation by the coastal hills. It is one of the best national parks in Peru for biodiversity, boasting 90 species of desert plants, 90 species of fish and crustaceans, 252 species of birds and a host of animals and reptiles. The Humbolt Current flowing along the coast is relatively cold, like the sea in an early summer at Brighton beach, and cools the air above it. This spreads over the hot land at night, and when the hot and cold air collide, fog or mist forms, which waters the plants. 

I and the rest of the team, including Oliver Whaley and William Milliken from Kew, left the main road at night, and and arrived in the vast desert that runs between Nazca and the coast as the sun rose. There was hardly anything alive. Our shadows were many metres long and projected themselves endlessly over the dunes as we drove. 

There is nothing along this strip of the coast for about 300 or 400 kilometres, and in some areas it is not thought to have rained for thousands of years. Our plan was to cross the desert through the centre, reach the coast, then drive from north to south before returning to Nazca. We started at 4 a.m. to avoid the midday heat of the desert, and only got to bed at around 1 a.m. the next day. With no stop for sleep, we drove for over twenty hours straight. 

The red desert, with its weathered stones and sand, was how I imagine Mars. It felt like we were driving over ground that had never been disturbed before, but after a while, we found some tyre tracks and decided to follow them to avoid further damage to the desert. All around us there was nothing. 

We drove up a mound twenty metres tall to survey the landscape; in the distance we could see ripples in the sand. As we came closer the ripples became lines of Tillandsias, known as clavel del aire (air carnation) or clavelinos (little carnations) in South America. They can survive in the harshest conditions imaginable, where even cacti do not grow. All the lines faced the same way. The wind blows through the Tillandsias and the angle of the leaves makes ripples in the same; as the ripples increase in size, the Tillandsias grow to compensate. The bodies of some Tillandsias have been found to extend three or four metres down into the sand. Thanks to the results of carbon dating, they are believed to be growing from a seed that germinated 14,000 years ago, making them older than ‘Methuselah’ -- a Californian bristlecone pine that is nearly 4,900 years old. 

When we looked closely we could see the condensation on the Tillandsia leaves; behind each plant, in the shadow, the ground was wet where the water had dripped from the leaves [...] Even though it was almost impossibly dry, it was still able to bloom, all because of the fog.”

so, to contextualize this a bit, yes, air plants are usually epiphytes that grow on the branches of cacti and in trees and on telephone wires and pretty much on/around whatever they can latch onto, but the native population Magdalena is describing here literally lives on the dunes and holds the formations together. this is a photo from the San Fernando website: 

wild. like. could you imagine being an air plant sitting in one of those instagram hanging globe things in an earl may in the american midwest and meanwhile other members of your species are thousands of years old and are physically holding a remote expanse of desert together

anyway. magdalena describes how these plants get their water by absorbing it from fog that rolls inland, but he doesn’t describe the mechanisms they use to do that. the leaves of these plants are covered in tons of delicate microscopic scales; they can develop on the roots, too, and their structure helps water condense more efficiently from the fog, which in turn facilitates Slurping Activities. this is a picture of a leaf tip from one i took on a microscope in plant anatomy last semester: 

honestly one of the coolest pics i got from that class. look at this. they’re such intricate structures when you look at them this closely, and yet you have these same plants living on a landscape so remote that it takes 20 hours on a dune buggy to get out there, so desolate that a Kew gardens botanical horticulturist compares their habitat to mars. they live in tons of different environments, of course --when your range is like, from texas to argentina, you gotta have some wiggle room to make shit work-- but it’s just cool. like. i know people love them firsthand for their lives in captivity and their aesthetic value, but you gotta admire that kind of resilience in the wild.

I’ve been going to a lot of holiday potlucks, so my strategy this year was just to show up with bomb-ass charcuterie plates. It was a hit. But now I have all this leftover salchichon and jambon serrano and humbolt fog and chèvre and seeded crackers and brioche and pistachios. I had some for dinner last night and just now for breakfast.

It sounds nice and fancy but it’s like, at this point I just want some fuckin corn flakes!! But I spent a fortune on this fancy shit so if it goes bad I will rue my poor decisions. So I suffer through the charcuterie.

Motion: Humboldt Fog as the NEW "American Cheese"

Motion: Humboldt Fog as the NEW “American Cheese”

I’d like to make a motion, that Humboldt Fog Grande be named the new “American Cheese.” Forget that orange plasticky tasting, plastic wrapped single, by whom the makers… shall not be named.

It’s true, America had a culinary phase where we got carried away with the convenience of processed, pre-packaged, pre-cooked foods. Yet I feel change-a-coming, we’re falling in love with taste, real food…
