In this article, we'll turn your attention to pesto. How should it be eaten? With pasta, of course. What else could you eat it with?
“Every man kills what he loves,” wrote Oscar Wilde in 1897. Chances are, Oscar was not thinking about pesto or pasta sauces at all. According to Wilde in The Ballad of Reading Gaol, during the Victorian era, pasta was not an affordable product for inmates in prisons. Previously, the sauce was not as widely used as it is today.

Let us assume that burns of all kinds, minor or severe, are unpleasant and painful. But they are one of the most common types of domestic injuries. Unpleasant burns are common, especially during cooking or baking. There are also severe burns that can be caused by direct contact with fire or a heated object. In medical terminology, burns are classified according to their severity. A first-degree burn that affects only the outer layer of the skin is considered the least severe compared to a second or third degree when it affects the deeper layers of the skin, causes blisters or damages all layers of the skin deep inside. Third-degree burns are considered urgent and should only be treated in a hospital.
