African cuisine
Tihlo, prepared from roasted barley flour, is very popular in Amhara, Agame, and Awlaelo (Tigray). Traditional Ethiopian cuisine employs no pork or shellfish of any kind, as they are forbidden in the Jewish and Ethiopian Orthodox Christian faiths. It is also very common to eat from the same dish in the center of the table with a group of people.
Vibrio vulnificus
Increasing seasonal temperatures and decreasing coastal salinity levels seem to favor a greater concentration of " Vibrio" within filter-feeding shellfish of the US Atlantic seaboard and the Gulf of Mexico, especially oysters ("Crassostrea virginica"). Scientists have frequently demonstrated the presence of "V. vulnificus" in the gut of oysters and other shellfish and in the intestines of fish that inhabit oyster reefs. The vast majority of people who develop sepsis from "V. vulnificus" became ill after they ate raw oysters; most of these cases have been men.
