As an Asian recipe developer for whom sesame oil is a cherished pantry staple, I feel attacked by the anti-seed oil rhetoric. 😵‍💫

Every now and then I have a bucket list story that sits in my head for years. This was one of them. When it comes to developing new pizzas, Pizza Hut Taiwan's main criteria are clear: “How do we appeal to the Taiwanese tastes and how do we make Italians angry?” www.atlasobscura.com/articles/piz...

The governments of China and Taiwan don't love each other. But people from across the strait do - and to my surprise, the biggest source of immigration to Taiwan is still from the PRC. I look into the mixed families that result. www.npr.org/2024/12/01/n...
