It is native to North Africa[dubious – discuss] southwest and south Asia, and extensively cultivated elsewhere.[citation needed] A variety Vicia faba var. equina Pers. – horse bean has been previously recognized.

Salmon is the common name for several species of ray-finned fish in the family Salmonidae. Other fish in the same family include trout, char, grayling and whitefish. Salmon are native to tributaries of the North Atlantic (genus Salmo) and Pacific Ocean (genus Oncorhynchus). Many species of salmon have been introduced into non-native environments such as the Great Lakes of North America and Patagonia in South America. Salmon are intensively farmed in many parts of the world. Typically, salmon are anadromous: they hatch in fresh water, migrate to the ocean, then return to fresh water to reproduce. However, populations of several species are restricted to fresh water through their lives. Folklore has it that the fish return to the exact spot where they hatched to spawn. Tracking studies have shown this to be mostly true. A portion of a returning salmon run may stray and spawn in different freshwater systems; the percent of straying depends on the species of salmon. Homing behavior has been shown to depend on olfactory memory. Salmon date back to the Neogene.

Molasses (American English) or black treacle (British English) is a viscous product resulting from refining sugarcane or sugar beets into sugar. Molasses varies by amount of sugar, method of extraction, and age of plant. Sugarcane molasses is primarily used for sweetening and flavoring foods in the United States, Canada, and elsewhere. Molasses is a defining component of fine commercial brown sugar. Sweet sorghum syrup may be colloquially called "sorghum molasses" in the southern United States.[2][3] Similar products include honey, maple syrup, corn syrup, and invert syrup. Most of these alternative syrups have milder flavors.

Duck sauce (or orange sauce) is a condiment with a sweet and sour flavor and a translucent orange appearance similar to a thin jelly. Offered at Chinese-American restaurants, it is used as a dip for deep-fried dishes such as wonton strips, spring rolls, egg rolls, duck, chicken, fish, or with rice or noodles. It is often provided in single-serving packets along with soy sauce, mustard, hot sauce or red chili powder. It may be used as a glaze on foods, such as poultry.

Jamon Ibérico is a type of cured ham from the Iberian Peninsula, made from the hind legs of black Iberian pigs. It is known for its rich, complex flavor, marbled fat that melts in your mouth, and a long, meticulous curing process. The quality of the ham is determined by the pig's diet and genetics, with the most prized varieties made from 100% Iberian pigs that are free-range and fed a diet of acorns. Characteristics Origin: The Iberian Peninsula, specifically Spain and Portugal. Meat: Comes from the black Iberian pig breed, which has a unique ability to infiltrate fat into muscle tissue. Flavor: Intense, nutty, and complex, with a savory, sweet, and salty taste. Texture: Softer than other hams, with a melt-in-your-mouth quality due to its marbled, infiltrated fat. Curing: A lengthy process of salting, drying, and aging that can last for years, contributing to the depth of flavor. Key factors influencing quality Genetics: The pig must be at least 50% Iberian, with the highest quality coming from 100% pure-bred Iberian pigs. Diet: The diet is a primary factor in the final taste. The highest grade, known as "de bellota," comes from pigs that have eaten acorns and natural grasses during the "montanera" season. Rearing: Pigs are raised in free-range environments where they can roam and graze, which contributes to their development and health. Grades of Jamón Ibérico Black Label: 100% Iberian pig fed a diet of acorns and natural grasses, considered the highest quality (Jamon Iberico de Bellota). Red Label: Between 50-75% Iberian pig, raised free-range and fed acorns during the montanera season. Green Label: At least 50% Iberian pig, raised free-range but fed a diet that includes fodder as well as grass. White Label: The lowest tier, with pigs only needing to be at least 50% Iberian and raised in pens on a fodder-based diet.
