ISLAMABAD: Minister for Commerce, Engr. Khurram Dastgir Khan said on Wednesday that Pakistan
wants to enhance its export basket to Iran by exporting home appliances light engineering products and
value-added textile.He stated this while presiding over a meeting here in the Ministry of Commerce to
prepare proposals and comprehensive strategy to enhance trade cooperation with Iran in the wake of the
forthcoming visit of the Iranian President to Pakistan.The meeting was attended by officials from
Ministry of National Food Security and Research, State Bank of Pakistan, Federal Board of Revenue,
representatives of traders exporting to Iran, representatives of rice and kinnow associations.
Two officials of the Iranian Ministry of Trade visiting Pakistan also attended the meeting on the special
request of the Minister for Commerce.The meeting was informed by the Collector Customs Quetta that
there is a three-fold increase in revenue at Pak-Iran border as a result of better border management which
discouraged illicit trade.The representative of the State Bank of Pakistan (SBP) informed the meeting that
there is no restriction on the trading through formal banking channels with Iranian companies in Euro and
SBP is encouraging Pakistani private sector to commence trade with Iran.The Minister informed the
Iranian officials that Pakistan is interested in holding massive exhibitions in Iran to present the range of
exportable Pakistani products and is in consultation with the concerned Iranian authorities regarding the
required approvals.
The exporters of rice, kinnow, fruits, vegetables and local exporters of Baluchistan briefed the Iranian
officials in detail about the difficulties confronted by them in exporting their products to Iran.The Iranian
officials ensured them to bring the issues to the notice of the relevant authorities.The meeting was
informed that there is high demand for food items in Iran and Pakistan has secured an export order of 100
metric ton of meat to Iran. This would open doors for more export contracts in the food sector in near
future.Dastgir said that relevant authorities in the Ministry of Health of Iran will be persuaded to fast track

the process of authorization of licenses to Pakistani rice mills and rice exporters in order to regain the
share of rice market in Iran which was lost during the sanctions

COMMERCIAL BANKS STILL IN THE PROCESS OF

INTERNATIONAL RISK MANAGEMENT FOR TRADE
WITH IRAN
The Union of Small and Medium Enterprises (UNISAME) appreciated the efforts of the State Bank of
Pakistan (SBP) for facilitating trade with Iran and giving the commercial banks the go ahead for import
and export with Iran.However the delay in resumption of trade activities is due to commercial banks who
are still in the process of sharpening their international risk management departments.President
UNISAME Zulfikar Thaver urged the commercial banks to expedite their process to be ready for
facilitating import and export business with Iran as it now appears on the list of countries with which
trade is allowed without sanctions.
He said the SME rice exporters to Iran are anxiously waiting for the commercial banks to accept letter of
credits from Iranian buyers and the facility of discounting of bills drawn on Iranian buyers.Likewise
exporters of several other commodities, textiles need facilities for trading with Iran.Many Pakistani
importers also need to import plastic granules, petroleum products and chemicals from Iran and wish to
open letter of credits in favour of Iranian exporters. They all are waiting for the commercial banks to give
the go ahead. Thaver said the commercial banks of Pakistan are determining the list of Iranian banks with
whom they can deal and also determining the credit limits of each bank. The international risk
management department is working to ascertain the extent of risk according to the rating of the Iranian
banks.He said in the past the trading was done through Dubai banks as intermediary but it proved costly
due to cost of finance and bank charges which the trader had to pay to both the banks.It is very important
that the commercial banks move fast in the matter because our neighboring countries and competitors
have outlined the procedures and are ready for business with Iran whereas our commercial banks are slow
and not taking prompt actions in this direction.
It is understandable that there has been a long lapse of time but nevertheless the commercial banks have
their list of corresponding banks in Iran who have grown over a period of time into huge banking
institutions and deserve higher ratings.Thaver urged the SBP to direct the commercial banks to submit
their list of correspondents in Iran and also the limits of Iranian banks approved by the respective banks
for both import and exports to and from Iran promptly.

Scientists Develop Nutrient-Enriched Rice


BOGOTA Scientists from Colombia and five other countries have developed a genetically
modified variety of rice with high content of iron and zinc, according to Agro-Bio, a Bogotabased association for the promotion of biotechnology.The new variety was a project of the
International Rice Research Institute and drew on work by scientists from Colombia, the
Philippines, Indonesia, the United States, Australia and Japan.
Researchers combined rice and soy-ferritin genes to produce a grain with high content of
micronutrients.They implanted the modified genes in the worlds most-cultivated variety of rice,
which comes from Southeast Asia, where deficiencies in iron and zinc are common.Due to
regulatory requirements, the enriched rice will take a minimum of four years to reach the market,
Agro-Bio said in a statement.
Foods derived from transgenic crops and scientific innovations in agriculture contribute to food
security and they can improve the diet of populations who now suffer nutrient deficiencies,
Agro-Bio director Maria Andrea Uscategui said.The new rice is a step forward in efforts to fight
the lack of micronutrients or hidden hunger, the association said.Agro-Bio says that hidden
hunger affects roughly 38 percent of pregnant women and 43 percent of toddlers worldwide,
with the impact concentrated in developing countries.

Drop in local production will force rice imports

KUALA LUMPUR: The Government is ready to import more rice if local grain production drops as a
result of the persisting El Nino phenomenon.Deputy Agriculture and Agro-based Industry Minister Datuk
Seri Tajuddin Abdul Rahman said Malaysia imported 30% of rice for the nations consumption while the
other 70% came from local growers.If production falls, we will increase the import to offset the drop in
local supply. Of course, that will be a temporary measure, he said.
Tajuddin said while the hot weather would definitely affect padi production.Mardi, in a statement, said a
2C rise in temperature could lead to a 13% reduction in padi yield while drought or a 15% decrease in
seasonal rainfall - could lead to drop in yield up to 80%. Any rice in temperature above 34C was also
certain to affect yield.Extreme heat could also cause damage to the rice yield and grain quality besides
bringing disease, it said.Tajudin said the Government was flexible in its import policy despite aiming to
achieve full self-sufficiency by 2020.We are flexible in our policies because we have to think of food
security. We dont want to see people having problems because rice is our staple food.If we have to
import, then we will import. The basic policy is that we want to protect our local producers, he added.

The Cambodia Rice Federation (CRF) on Thursday met with the Ministry of Commerce to
discuss policies for strengthening the countrys ailing rice industry, and unveiled a plan to
develop a price-support mechanism to guarantee Cambodias rice export price, officials said.
The talks come a week after the CRF announced the formation of a new task force to manage the
impact of cheap foreign rice imports and under-funded millers on Cambodias rice industry, in
response to pressure from its members.In Thursdays meeting with Commerce Minister Sun
Chanthol and other ministry officials, Sok Puthyvuth, CRF president, said those present had
agreed on a policy agenda to be discussed by government officials in the coming weeks.
An inter-ministerial meeting chaired by Deputy Prime Minister Keat Chhon will consider a $20
million to $30 million special budget, he said. The meeting will help support the industry
facing the illegal imports of rice from Vietnam.Following the talks, Moul Sarith, CRF
secretary-general, said the federation was also developing a long-term strategy to support rice
millers and exporters, which included plans to create a consortium of millers and exporters to
manage Cambodias rice export price.The biggest members from the CRF will be chosen to be
consortium partners to manage and set one export price, Mr. Sarith said, adding that the
initiative should be off the ground this year.Currently, our members compete against each other
when foreign buyers come to buy our rice, which forces prices to fall, he said.The proposed
consortium would control the export price of rice by regulating supply, benefiting the countrys
entire rice supply chain, Mr. Sarith added.
If exporters get a good price, rice millers and farmers will benefit too as it will allow them to
sell at higher prices.But Mao Thora, secretary of state at the Commerce Ministry, said it was too
early to discuss the viability of the planned consortium.A report of the meeting this morning is
being prepared to send to the prime minister, he said. First we have to solve the immediate
problems including preventing the inflow of rice from Vietnam and credit support to
millers.Srey Chanthy, an independent economist, was skeptical that the consortium would solve
the industrys problems, adding that price-support could backfire on the entire sector.It is just an
idea, I do not think this is possible to create, he said.Foreign buyers look to buy good quality
rice at a good price in international markets, he added. If the price is set high, they could just
buy rice from Thailand, Vietnam or Burma instead.

Rice exports have surged in the first two months as many of last years contracts are being executed this
year, according to the Vit Nam Food Association.Workers of HCM City Food and Foodstuff company
load rice for export.The country exported more than 856,219 tonnes for US$347.8 million, a year-on-year
increase of 101.89 per cent and 81.73 per cent, and Hunh Minh Hu, VFA general secretary, indicated
there had been too many orders to handle last year, including some large government contracts with
Indonesia and the Philippines.At a regular meeting of the association last week, he said exports of
common white rice accounted for 32.68 per cent of exports, up almost five times from the same period
last year, and exports of glutinous rice also surged due to high demand from China.
Exports of fragrant rice continued to grow steadily thanks to increased exports to China and Africa, he
said.VFA anticipates exports to reach 1.3 million tonnes in the first quarter, 56 per cent up from the same
period last year.Hu said the number of contracts to be executed remained high at around 1.4 million
tonnes.But with inventories at export firms 81,140 tonnes lower than at the same time last year -- at one
million tonnes -- they would have to buy rice, he said.Prices are currently high in the domestic market
despite this being the peak harvest season and the association announcing no plans to stockpile the
grain.High demand from exporters coupled with a forecast of falling output in the Cu Long (Mekong)
Delta due to drought and saltwater intrusion has pushed up the prices.
The Ministry of Agriculture and rural Development reported that by March 5 around 139,000ha of the
winter-spring rice crop in nine provinces had been damaged by drought and saltwater, with the loss
estimated at one million tonnes.In previous years the VFA proposed purchasing one million tonne of rice
for temporary storage at the beginning of March to support domestic prices, but this time farmers can earn
reasonable profits at current prices.According to rice traders in the Mekong Delta, a kilogramme of IR

50404 paddy in the field costs VN4,600-4,650, VN300 higher than a year earlier, and high-grade
paddies are priced much higher.

New rice auction to be announced tomorrow, 18 March

BY EDITORON 2016-03-17THAILAND
BANGKOK: The National Rice Policy Committee has approved the auction of a new round of
640,000 tons of rice stocks.
The auction conditions will be announced tomorrow.Director-general of the Department of International
Trade Mrs Duangporn Rodphaya revealed yesterday that the National Rice Policy Committee has
endorsed a proposal to organize a new public bidding on rice stocks as market trends indicate that the
demands for white rice and broken-milled rice is on the rise.The auction will allow the government to
reduce costs related to maintaining and looking after existing stocks, she said.
She however told farmers that this move will in no way affect local market prices.Yesterday the Public
Warehouse Organization (PWO) invited five successful bidders in the previous government rice auction
to attend a briefing on the criteria for this new round of bidding.The brief focused on the portion of the
auctions for 140,000 tons of rice destined for industrial purpose (broken-milled rice). These are estimated
to be more than 933 million Baht in value.The PWO official said the PWO was willing to approve a
relaxation of certain restrictions such as the possibility of allowing these rice stocks to be transported after

daylight hours.But it maintained that not all parties will be given this benefit as the merits and past
performances of each will have to be considered before approval is granted.

Rice Comment
Rice futures posted gains today but closed well off the day's high. The weekly export total of
only 21,300 metric tons was off sharply from last week's 145,800 metric tons. Technically, July
posted a bullish reversal in Wednesday's trade while also posting a potential double bottom at the
recent low of $10.20. Today's move saw the market challenging downtrending resistance at
$10.62. A close below that level would be another indication that the market has put in a bottom
for the time being.
In Memory: Ralph Cowan

USA Rice was saddened to learn of the passing of Ralph Cowan, a
giant in the Louisiana and U.S. rice industries. Cowan was one of
the original organizers of the Louisiana Rice Council and the
Louisiana Rice Promotion Board, and served as the first president
and first chairman of each organization, respectively.Cowan was
born on September 5, 1919 in Midland, Louisiana. He was married
for 67 years to Katharine Jenkins Cowen who preceded him in
death, and is survived by four daughters, eleven grandchildren, and
sixteen great-grandchildren.Louisiana rice farmer Jimmy Hoppe
remembered "Mr. Ralph" as "a genuine gentleman who was a real
mentor to farmers in our area, stressing the importance to us of
involvement on the state and national levels.
I can't say enough about how much he meant to the rice industry. He was a leader with foresight who
knew what needed to be done from the standpoint of producers to be effective."John Denison, a former
USA Rice Chairman, said, "I grew up about 40 miles from Ralph and knew him all my life. He was a
dear friend and we also had a working relationship dating back to our time on the Louisiana Rice
Promotion Board and on the organizational committee that created what is now USA Rice. He was there
at the beginning and will be remembered as a rice industry icon."Visitation will be held today from 4:00
p.m. to 7:00 p.m. at Geesey-Ferguson Funeral Home, 301 North Avenue F in Crowley, LA, and Friday

from 11:00 a.m. to 2:30 p.m.at First United Methodist Church, 321 East 3rd Street, Crowley. A reception
will start at 12:00 p.m. prior to the funeral service Friday, March 18, at 3:00 p.m. at First United
Methodist Church. Interment will be in Woodlawn Cemetery, 124 W. Pine Street, Crowley.USA Rice
extends heartfelt condolences to the family and friends of Ralph Cowan
Food Safety Could Present Key to U.S. Rice's Return to

Switzerland
By Eszter Somogyi
BERN, SWITZERLAND -- Hartwig Schmidt, regional
director of USA Rice, attended the annual meeting of
the Swiss Rice Promotion Board (RISO) here last week
and gave a presentation on the world rice outlook for
2016. In his report, Schmidt said, "Switzerland used to
be an important market for U.S. long grain rice with a
market share of greater than 50 percent before the
Liberty Link incident in 2006, when imports fell
substantially. In 2015, U.S. rice exports shrank to
2,000 MT or only 5 percent of all rice imports. At this
time, U.S. rice sales appear to be limited due to the
higher price of U.S. rice compared to other
origins."Schmidt said the RISO meeting presents an
excellent opportunity for USA Rice to check in with the industry since all Swiss rice importers and
important retailers and wholesalers are members."We continue to work with the trade here," Schmidt
explained. "And learned this week that Swiss consumers have a rising interest in traceability and food
safety - topics the U.S. can speak quite effectively to. We will look to bolster U.S. rice sales here with
this information and may resume promotional activities if the market begins to show promise."
Methane Emissions Are Spiking, But It Might Be More Cow

Than Car
BY NATASHA GEILING
MAR 17, 2016 8:00 AM
REDIT: SHUTTERSTOCK
Since 2006, atmospheric levels of methane a greenhouse gas 86 times more potent than
carbon dioxide over a 20-year period have steadily been on the rise. For years, scientists
werent sure what was behind the rising levels of methane, but they had a few ideas: namely an
increase in fossil fuel-related emissions.Now, a new study is pointing to a different culprit:
agriculture-related methane emissions, especially from livestock and rice production.
Published last week in the journal Science, researchers from New Zealands National Institute of
Water and Atmospheric Research (NIWA) found that the majority of methane released into the
atmosphere since 2006 was produced by bacteria, pointing to sources like agriculture rather

than sources like fossil fuel production or the burning of organic material as the culprit behind
the increase in methane levels.
A unique signature for methane
The researchers were able to discern agricultural methane from other sources of methane by
looking at the gas isotopic signatures or the ratio of various carbon isotopes using data
from atmospheric monitoring stations around the world. By looking at the distinct isotopic
signatures, the researchers could differentiate between methane produced from fracking, for
instance, and methane produced from agriculture, because they each have different signatures.
The data also suggested that the increase in methane came from regions including India, China
and Southeast Asia, suggesting that the rise was due to agriculture, not the growth of fracking in
North America.
That was a real surprise, because [around 2006] the U.S. started fracking and we also know that
the economy in Asia picked up again, and coal mining increased, NIWA atmospheric scientist
Hinrich Schaefer told Phys.org. However, that is not reflected in the atmosphere.
Livestock production in Asia has been expanding rapidly since the middle of the 20th century,
and is expected only to increase as economies in the region become more developed.
Livestock production accounts for about 35 percent of total anthropogenic methane emissions
Around the world, livestock production has been increasingly under scrutiny in recent years, as
animal agricultures carbon footprint has grown clearer. Ruminants, like cows, produce methane
as they digest their food, through a process known as enteric fermentation. But livestock manure
also produces methane as it decomposes in closed-air containers known as lagoons, which
factory farming operations often use to store the massive amounts of manure produced by their
farms. The United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization estimates that livestock

production accounts for some 2.2 billion tons of carbon dioxide equivalent greenhouse gases
annually, or about 35 percent of total anthropogenic methane emissions.
But its not just livestock production that researchers say is behind the rise in methane. Rice
production is also a methane-intensive activity, because root systems in rice plants secrete
carbohydrates during photosynthesis. When rice paddies are flooded, the oxygen-devoid
environment creates the perfect place for bacteria to feed off of those carbohydrates, creating
methane as a byproduct. Thats a problem, because rice is one of the most important staple crops
on Earth more than 3.5 billion people depend on rice for at least 20 percent of their daily
caloric intake. In an effort to curb rices methane production, scientists have actually been
working to create a lower-methane strain of rice (and have had some success).
But what about fossil fuels?
Still, not everyone is convinced by NIWAs analysis. Speaking with InsideClimate News, Robert
Howarth, a Cornell University professor who studies methane emissions, said that the isotopic
ratios in methane are too broad to confidently attribute to a single source.
When you have eight or nine or 10 different sources of methane, each with a range of ratios,
there is no way to calculate where it is coming from, he said. If you had a little bit of melting
of permafrost and a big increase in natural gas production, you could get a pattern that these
people are interpreting as cows in India.
Many other studies point to an increase in fossil fuel production, especially oil and gas
production in the United States, as another key factor behind the recent increase in methane
production. A recent study conducted by climate scientists of Karlsruhe Institute of Technology
(KIT) found that as much as 40 percent of the recent increase in methane could be due to fossil
fuel production.
In a press release, the KIT scientists said that their findings were actually congruent with the
NIWA study, stressing that increasing emissions from the oil and natural gas sector, combined
with emissions from wetlands and maybe animal husbandry increasingly appear to have caused
the renewed increase in methane concentration in the last decade.
An unregulated industry
The Obama administration has taken some unprecedented steps in the recent months to regulate
methane from oil and gas production. Most recently, the EPA announced that it would begin
regulating methane from existing oil and gas facilities, with the ultimate goal of cutting methane
from the oil and gas sector by 40 to 45 percent below 2012 levels by 2025.
But methane from the agricultural sector is still largely unregulated, despite the fact that
greenhouse gas-related emissions from livestock manure management systems grew 54
percentbetween 1990 and 2013.
Quite the opposite of imposing regulations on livestock producers in the United States, Congress
has actually explicitly forbidden the EPA from collecting greenhouse gas emission data from
livestock producers, making it the only major source of greenhouse gas emissions in the United
States that enjoys such an exemption.
The EPAs methane strategy is completely ignoring agriculture, Tarah Heinzen, an attorney
with Food & Water Watch, told ThinkProgress. Were not dealing with it as a regulatory issue
as we are with other sources of methane.
Decarbonizing what we eat is just as important as decarbonizing what we drive or what we use to heat our
homes

California, which is one of the most livestock-heavy states in the country, has made moves to
begin regulating short-lived climate pollutants, like methane. According to Brent Newell, legal
director for the Center on Race, Poverty & the Environment, methane from livestock accounts
for about 5 percent of Californias total greenhouse gas emissions. The states Global Warming
Solutions Act, passed in 2006, mandates that the state reduce its greenhouse gas emissions by 20
percent and yet agriculture is the only sector not subject to regulation.
In 2014, the California Senate mandated that the states Air Resources Board (ARB) come up
with a plan to regulate methane from livestock operations. But thus far, the ARB has decided to
achieve reductions only through voluntary measures, which Newell argues allows the livestock
industry to effectively continue with a business-as-usual approach to methane production.Its
acting like its doing something, its pretending like its doing something, but voluntary controls
for a massive greenhouse gas emitter is a crazy regulatory response and it exemplifies the
political power that the dairy industry has over the Air Resources Board, Newell said.The plan
is expected to be finalized later this month, when it will be seen whether environmental groups
calls for mandatory regulations for the California livestock industry have been heard by the
ARB, or whether such calls have fallen on deaf ears.
It is really shameful that this industry continues to enjoy an exemption, while others are forced
to comply, Newell said. Decarbonizing what we eat is just as important as decarbonizing what
we drive or what we use to heat our homes.
Purple bread: A new superfood?

By Jenni Marsh, CNN
Updated 0721 GMT (1521 HKT) March 18, 2016
Purple bread.

Story highlights
Purple bread is made by adding anthocyanin extract from black rice
It is digested 20% slower than normal white bread, and is rich in antioxidants that fight cancer
Singapore (CNN)"For the past 10 years, bread has been under attack."
Professor Zhou Weibiao, a food scientist at the National University of Singapore, isn't wrong.
According to current nutritional thinking, white bread is digested too fast, spikes blood sugar levels
and is linked to obesity. In short, it's the enemy of healthy eaters.
Zhou's answer to this problem? He's invented a purple bread.
Rich in cancer-fighting antioxidants, digested 20% slower than regular white bread, and made
entirely of natural compounds, it could be the first superfood of the baked goods world.
The great bake off
A long-time staple food, bread's big problem is its high glycemic index: its sugar content speedily
gets into the blood stream, causing blood sugar levels to peak and crash.
Furthermore, its rapidly digestible starch content means people often eat more of it than they should.
"The challenge was to see if we could change the formula of bread, without changing the smooth
texture of white bread that people really love," says Zhou.
He decided to extract anthocyanins from black
rice -- which give the grain its much trumpeted
antioxidant qualities -- and infuse it in his bread.
Zhou
left
behind
the
rice's
starch
properties."Despite its antioxidant capacity and
associated health benefits, the knowledge of using
anthocyanins as an ingredient in food products is
very limited."Adding anthocyanins to the bread
not only turns it purple: due to a chemical reaction
with the starch enzymes, it slows the digestion rate
by 20%.What is more, 80% of the antioxidant qualities are preserved in the breadcrust and crumbs when
baked at 200 degrees Celsius."If you want to enjoy the texture of white bread and slow down digestion,
this is probably the best formula," says Zhou."And the color isn't bad, either."
The color purple

Anthocyanin is a natural pigment that
occurs in fruits and vegetables such as
grapes, blueberries, and sweet potatoes,
and is responsible for their vibrant
hue."Although, not all purple fruits are
superfoods," cautions Zhou, citing
purple
dragon
fruit
as
an

example.Studies have shown that anthocyanins can help prevent cardiovascular and neurological
diseases and cancer, and play a role in controlling obesity and diabetes, as they can inhibit
digestive enzymes and reduce glucose levels.
Calorie count
Purple bread might be healthier than white bread, but does it have a lower calorie count?
"You are eating the same amount of starch and wheat flour, so the nutritional value is the same.
The key idea here is slowing down the energy release, so you use those calories over a longer
period of time," says Zhou.While the purple bread is not yet commercially available, Zhou has
been approached by major food manufacturers about bringing it to market.He has also inspired
some blue (or should that be purple?) sky thinking."A man in South Africa called me, very
excited. He wanted to know if putting anthocyanins in chocolate would have the same effect."I
told him, 'You can obtain the antioxidant function, but you don't have the same starch in
chocolate, so it won't have the same reaction'."
Here's hoping.

There are plenty of amazing things about living in Central Jersey, but this time of year, we are
reminded of one that is not so great: We are more than 1,000 miles away from next weeks
Mardi Gras celebrations down South. On Feb. 9 and in the days before and after the
population of New Orleans will triple as revelers make their way to The Big Easy for a
celebration that dates back thousands of years. Mardi Gras began as a Roman celebration of
spring, and an indulgent prelude to Lent.
The tradition made its way to Louisiana with French explorers in the late 1600s, according to
historical accounts, and street parties, masked balls and opulent dinners soon followed.While we
may be unlucky to live so far from the festivities, we are lucky to have a handful of restaurants
where Southern, Cajun and Creole food reign supreme. Here is a look at places in the Garden
State where you can join in the fun.
Verve Bistro
THE FESTIVITIES: Owner Rick St. Pierre and his staff go big for Mardi Gras. The five-day
celebration, which begins Feb. 4, features food and drink specials that honor New Orleans,
Venice and Brazil, a true Carnavale-style party, St. Pierre said. Thats how we do it, we focus
on the Carnavale feel of it. The restaurant partners with Matheny School, a Somerset County
center for children with developmental disabilities: Its students and art teachers create Mardi
Gras masks to be auctioned off during the celebration. Its all for a great cause, he said, adding
that the restaurant usually raises between $2,500 and $3,500.
GET COOKING: On Feb. 7, the restaurant will host a gumbo cook-off. Well have different
chefs from the area, and customers, St. Pierre said. Some guys will put anything into a gumbo
pork and crab and shrimp and alligator. People order stuff from all over the country to beat the
others. The restaurant will cook up complementary sides including black-eyed peas and
cornbread and once the judging has concluded and a winner declared, everyone just eats.
WHAT TO ORDER: A special menu will be served from Feb. 4 to 9: okra beignets, gumbo
made with crawfish, shrimp, chicken and crab; crawfish touffe over basmati rice; Brazilian
feijoada, a stew of braised beef, pork and black beans; and blackened Creole catfish with lump
crab meat ($8 to $28). And dont forget to order a drink; Verve is known for them: Try the fiverum Hurricane; the coconut caipirinha, made with coconut rum, Brazilian rum, lime juice and
sugar; and the Boulevardier, made with bourbon, campari and Punt e Mes, an Italian vermouth.

New Brunswick. (Photo: COURTESY OF THE OLD BAY RESTAURANT)
The Old Bay Restaurant
THE FESTIVITIES: The Fat Tuesday party begins at 4 p.m. Feb. 9 and goes until the
restaurant closes at 2 a.m. Live music from The New Brunswick Jazz Project and Old Number 7
will be performed from 4 p.m. to closing, and there will be beads, masks, a giveaway of a trip to
Magic Hat Brewing Company in Vermont, and a New Orleans-style buffet. Dinner will be
served from 5 to 10 p.m. Admission, which includes the buffet, is $20.
WHAT TO ORDER: The buffet menu includes Southern fried chicken, which chef and
manager Joe Donlan says is marinated for three days in a mixture of buttermilk and hot sauce,
so it has a nice spice to it. It is breaded with flour spiked with Cajun seasoning, a secret recipe,
before being fried. There will be chicken and sausage jambalaya, macaroni and cheese made
with tasso, a smoked Southern ham, corn bread, red beans and rice, and a vegetarian Creole dish.
Its almost like an eggplant lasagna, Donlan said of the latter, which also is gluten free.
Instead of noodles, we use sliced eggplant that is quick seared, and layer it with ricotta cheese
and mozzarella. Instead of using tomato sauce, its our Creole sauce, one of our signature sauces
made with peppers, onions and celery.

F-Cove Restaurant

THE RESTAURANT: For Scarlett Dell and Jesse Dedreux, Mardi Gras is a time to unite the
past with the present. Dell, who is from Baton Rouge, Louisiana, and Dedreux, who was born in
New Jersey but spent six years living and working in New Orleans, have been cooking up Cajun
and Creole dishes since opening their Brick restaurant in 2013. And there is a difference between
the two styles of cooking: Creoles a little more rich, more butter-based, Dedreux said. Cajun
stuff is more (about) the ingredients: smoked hot sausage, more oil as opposed to butter. But we
try not to stick too strictly to it; we try to do more of what we were exposed to.

In the South, Dell said, Mardi Gras is celebrated in the weeks leading up to Fat Tuesday. The
festivities and parades begin on Kings Day in early January, and Dell remembers parades where
children clamored for trinkets thrown from extravagant floats and collected doubloons from the
krewes, the groups that created the floats.
As for the food, Dell said Mardi Gras is more about indulging in decadent dishes before Lenten
fasting begins than it is about any dishes in particular. Whatever you want to eat, you eat too
much, she said. And whatever you want to drink, you drink too much.
WHAT TO ORDER: The restaurant offers a three-course prix fixe dinner each Tuesday night,
and Fat Tuesday will be no different. For $18.03 a price that represents the year of the
Louisiana Purchase diners can enjoy a cup of chicken and sausage gumbo, a choice of shrimp
Creole, shrimp touffe, and jambalaya, with Creole bread pudding for dessert. Dedreux also
may cook up a blackened chicken pasta, crawfish and shrimp pasta with spicy cream sauce, and a
hanger steak with bourbon bacon jam.
touffe, for those not familiar with the classic New Orleans dish, gets its name from the French
word for smother or to stew. Dedreux makes his version with shrimp stock, Creole seasonings
and the restaurants own cayenne-based hot sauce. Its pretty simple, he said of the dish, which
is served with a mound of steamed white rice that soaks everything up. Its not too spicy, but
its layered with flavor.
The Creole bread pudding is named because of how it is prepared, not because it is spicy,
Dedreux said. The dessert is made with French bread soaked for hours in a mixture of vanilla,
milk and heavy cream spiced with cinnamon and nutmeg, and the Creole part comes from the
creamy, buttery and rich flavors. Its pretty standard, but it does have a little extra sweetness
he said of the bread pudding, which is topped with bourbon cream sauce.

Simply Southern
THE RESTAURANT: At Rasheed and Rita Simmons Belmar restaurant, the menu is centered
around the dishes of the South specifically Georgia, the Carolinas and Florida. But for Mardi
Gras, they will serve up a little bit of Louisiana.
WHAT TO ORDER: From Feb. 6 to 9, mother and son will cook up chicken gumbo filled with
corn, tomatoes and all types of veggies, Rasheed said, as well as shrimp and grits, and well
also be doing a Creole dirty rice. The rice, which is made with a base of brown gravy, has
celery, different veggies, different sausages, different types of pork. Weve got a little bit of
everything in it, he said. The dishes cost between $8 and $21.
For dessert, there will be beignets, New Orleanss famous powdered sugar-coated fried dough.
