Playa Zipolite. Welcome To The Beach Of The Dead!

A little about Playa Zipolite, The Beach of the Dead . . .

Playa Zipolite, Oaxaca, Southern Mexico, on the Pacific Ocean. A little bit about my favorite little get-away on this small world of ours.

Zipolite, a sweaty 30-minute walk west from Puerto Angel, brings you to Playa Zipolite and another world. The feeling here is 1970's - Led Zep, Marley, and scruffy gringos.

A long, long time ago, Zipolite beach was usually visited by the Zapotecans...who made it a magical place. They came to visit Zipolite to meditate, or just to rest.

Recently, this beach has begun to receive day-trippers from Puerto Angel and Puerto Escondido, giving it a more TOURISTY feel than before.

Most people come here for the novelty of the nude beach, yoga, turtles, seafood, surf, meditation, vegetarians, discos, party, to get burnt by the sun, or to see how long they can stretch their skinny budget.

I post WWW Oaxaca, Mexico, Zipolite and areas nearby information. Also general budget, backpacker, surfer, off the beaten path, Mexico and beyond, information.

REMEMBER: Everyone is welcome at Zipolite.

Why The U.S. Chills Its Eggs And Most Of The World Doesn't by RAE ELLEN BICHELL September 11, 2014

Why The U.S. Chills Its Eggs And Most Of The World Doesn'tby RAE ELLEN BICHELLSeptember 11, 201412:31 PM ETTo refrigerate or not to refrigerate? It boils down to bacteria,

aesthetics and how much energy you're willing to use.Robert S. Donovan; Flickr / Alex Barth; FlickrGo in search of eggs in most foreign countries and you might

encounter a strange scene: eggs on a shelf or out in the open

air, nowhere near a refrigerator.Shock and confusion may

ensue. What are they doing there? And are they safe to eat?

We Americans, along with the Japanese, Australians and

Scandinavians, tend to be squeamish about our chicken

eggs, so we bathe them and then have to refrigerate them.

But we're oddballs. Most other countries don't mind letting

unwashed eggs sit next to bread or onions.The difference

boils down to two key things: how to go after bacteria that

could contaminate them, and how much energy we're

willing to use in the name of safe eggs.The

Salt Think You Know How To Cook Eggs?

Chances Are You're Doing It WrongTo

understand when the rift happened, let's

rewind. About a hundred years ago, many people

around the world washed their eggs. But there are

a lot of ways to do it wrong, so the method got a

bad reputation in certain parts of the world. A batch

of rotten eggs, which had been washed in Australia,

left a bad impression on its British importers.By

1970, the U.S. Department of Agriculture had

perfected the art of the wash with the help of fancy

machines, and it required all egg producers to do it.

Meanwhile, many European countries were prohibiting

washing, and Asian countries never got on board with

it. The exception was Japan, which joined the

egg-washers after a bad spate of salmonella in

the 1990s.So what's the deal with washing and

refrigeration? Soon after eggs pop out of the

chicken, American producers put them straight

to a machine that shampoos them with

soap and hot water. The steamy shower leaves

the shells squeaky clean. But it also compromises

them, by washing away a barely visible sheen that

naturally envelops each egg."The egg is a marvel

in terms of protecting itself, and one of the protections

is this coating, which prevents them from being

porous," says food writer Michael Ruhlman, author

of Egg: A Culinary Exploration of the World's Most

Versatile Ingredient.

The Case Of The Mystery Salmonella

The coating is like a little safety vest

for the egg, keeping water and oxygen in and bad bacteria

out. Washing can damage that layer and "increase the

chances for bacterial invasion" into pores or hairline

cracks in the shell, according to Yi Chen, a food scientist

at Purdue University. So we spray eggs with oil to

prevent bacteria from getting in, and refrigerate

them to keep microorganisms at bay.

The SaltChickens That Lay Organic Eggs

Eat Imported Food, And It's PriceyWhy go to

the trouble of washing eggs? A lot of it has to

do with fear of salmonella."It just sort of seeped into

our culture that chickens are dirty, or crawling with

bacteria," says Ruhlman. (The Salt stumbled into this

**when our post started a #chickens*$!storm.)**

Salmonella enteritidis can infect a chicken's

ovaries, contaminating a yolk before the shell

firms up around it. Cooking usually kills the bacteria

before they can harm you; still, eggs contaminated

with salmonella are responsible for about 142,000

illnesses a year in the U.S.,according to the Food

and Drug Administration.In some European countries,

egg-laying hens are vaccinated against salmonella. In

the U.S., vaccination is not required, but eggs must be

washed and refrigerated from farm to store, and

producers must follow a host of other safety measures.

"They're different approaches to basically achieve

the same result," says Vincent Guyonnet, a poultry

veterinarian and scientific adviser to the International

Egg Commission. "We don't have massive [food

safety] issues on either side of the Atlantic. Both

methods seem to work."The important thing, he

says, is to be consistent."Once you start refrigeration,

you have to have it through the whole value chain,

from farm to store. Because if you stop — if the

eggs are cold and you put them in a warm

environment — they're going to

start sweating," says Guyonnet.

The SaltHunting For The Tastiest

Egg: Duck, Goose, Chicken Or Quail?

No one wants sweaty eggs. They can

get moldy. Another perk of consistent refrigeration

is shelf life: It jumps from about 21 days to almost

50 days.In a lot of countries, constant refrigeration

just isn't possible because it's simply too costly.

"Some of the countries cannot afford cold storage

during the whole supply chain," says Chen.And

as for why the U.S. and Europe developed such

different attitudes about washing, it's also hard

to tease apart how much is about safety versus

egg aesthetics."In North America, we like to have

everything superclean. So they probably initiated

the washing of the egg very early on," leading

down the refrigeration path, says Guyonnet.But

in a lot of places, "a dirty egg with poop on it is

no big deal. You brush it off when you get home,"

says Guyonnet, who was raised in France and now

lives in Canada.A 38-country survey by the International

Egg Commission found that people feel strongly

about how their eggs should look. The Irish,

French, Czechs, Hungarians, Portuguese,

Nigerians and Brits hanker for brown eggs.

Canadians, Finns, Americans and Indians

prefer white shells. Dutchmen and Argentines

don't seem to care.
