In Italy, we’re living in a new COVID wave. And I had a killer temperature I couldn’t work on this issue as I intended. That’s why it’s late, but at least it is still Tuesday, isn’t it?

A devotee prepares for the Hindu festival of Annakut at the Naba Brindaban temple. Devotees mark the festival, which is also known as Govardhan Puja, by offering vegetarian food to Lord Krishna as a sign of gratitude for saving them from floods. --- ### **␥** ### THE BEST QUOTE ![](https://secretbreakfast.com/content/images/cdn-cgi/image/fit=scale-down-format=auto-onerror=redirect-quality=80/uploads/asset/file/b4d88192-ba0a-433d-927a-8385de293b30/113.png) ✦ [**Virginia Woolf**](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Virginia%5FWoolf?ref=secretbreakfast.com), and one of her sexiest lines (actually in *Jacob's Room* she wrote “Language is wine upon his lips”). --- #### **⎚** #### THE MISSING INGREDIENT ## **CAMEL MILK AND PICKLE KETCHUP** ![](https://secretbreakfast.com/content/images/cdn-cgi/image/fit=scale-down-format=auto-onerror=redirect-quality=80/uploads/asset/file/44178dba-edf7-4d43-95d6-f829eb7ad1a9/sorina-bindea-vs2twjp1mqa-unsplash__1.jpg) Secret Breakfast loves food predictions so much that I wrote an [ebook](https://secretbreakfast.gumroad.com/l/2023-book?ref=secretbreakfast.com) about that, last year (it’s free, you can download it). Now it’s time for other people’s predictions about food in 2024\. [Axios](https://www.axios.com/2023/12/01/food-trends-2024-dining-buckwheat-coffee-halloumi-pickles-tiktok?ref=secretbreakfast.com) has made enough for us to fantasize about for months: camel milk, protein coffee, [Dalgona coffee](https://vinepair.com/articles/coffee-shops-whipped-coffee-trend/?ref=secretbreakfast.com), [pickle ketchup](https://www.heinz.co.uk/masterbrand/tomato-ketchup/product/8715700125763/tomato-ketchup-pickle?ref=secretbreakfast.com), Bulgogi, bibimbap, Korean egg drop breakfast sandwiches (★[recipe](https://drivemehungry.com/korean-egg-drop-sandwich/?ref=secretbreakfast.com)), and “creste di gallo” pasta (which I don’t really trust because it has the same name as the genital wart).

He wrote books about cod and salt, and now - bam - onions! As Julia Child once said, “It is hard to imagine a civilization without onions”. And it’s harder imagining something some good meal without onions.
