1 Roots, rock, bluegrass Unknown to many people, Africa and banjos are as natural a combination as notes and a staff. Dom Flemons, Rhiannon Giddens and Justin Robinson are three bluegrass musicians who tour nationally and give short history lessons. Their band is called the Carolina Chocolate Drops. African instruments such as the akonting and the xalam are preludes to banjos originally made by American slaves. From the Unity Archives BROUGHT TO YOU BY THOMPSON HOSPITALITY AND COMPASS GROUP

2 Ancient, shriveled and fresh Sultanas made their way to the English-speaking world by way of the Ottoman Empire. These golden raisins made it stateside in 1872, when California vineyardist William Thompson imported a Sultanina seedless grape cutting. He marketed the grape as the “Thompson Seedless,” giving birth to the California raisin industry. BROUGHT TO YOU BY THOMPSON HOSPITALITY AND COMPASS GROUP From the Unity Archives

3 BROUGHT TO YOU BY THOMPSON HOSPITALITY AND COMPASS GROUP From the Unity Archives Did you know… Spain is the largest producer of olive oil? It is the only oil that can be made from a fruit or vegetable solely by pressing. The highest quality of oils are made by mechanical pressing, meaning no heat or chemicals are used during the production process, and prepared within 24 hours of harvesting the olives.

4 BROUGHT TO YOU BY THOMPSON HOSPITALITY AND COMPASS GROUP From the Unity Archives Indian Harvest A recent survey of more than 1,800 professional chefs reveals that sustainable food is the most meaningful, furthest-reaching trend on restaurant menus.
