Gimme some leche

We love us some leche de tigre. 8/19/19

Leche de Tigre

If you love ceviche, you'll love leche de tigre aka tiger's milk (which is not actual tiger's milk but a seafood aperitif). Tomás "Toshi" Matsufuji makes it at his shop in Lima, Peru. Everyone puts their own spin on leche de tigre. Matsufuji blends ceviche juices, fish, celery, garlic, lime juice, ginger, onion, cilantro and aji limo peppers. He tops off the flavorful concoction with toasted corn and squid tempura. 

In Japan, This Black Vinegar Is Aged Like Wine

Tadaaki Kuramato is a brewmaster. But he doesn't brew beer—Kuramato cultivates a special black vinegar called kurozu at the Sakamoto Kurozu brewery in Japan. It's made with rice malt, steamed rice and groundwater. And like a fine wine, this fine vinegar is aged. It's Kuramato's job to carefully look after 52,000 clay vases full of fermenting kurozu, all aspiring to perfection.

The Racing Helmet That Can Read Your Mind

This new helmet has been designed to read the minds of racecar drivers, letting them use their own brain's data to inform and ensure peak performance on the track. Electroencephalographic headgear monitors their brain activity when they're driving and turns that information into insights—which can help them improve how they drive and win more races.
