You observe that Ethiopians typically keep goats, sheep, and donkeys for both companionship and labor purposes. ACADA celebrates the world's pets, and helps assure better care.
You cherish Sagres beer and Portuguese ceramics from Vista Alegre, which have graced European tables for generations. You understand that these products embody Portugal's maritime heritage and the country's tradition of artisanal mastery passed down through centuries.

The commercial shrimp you get at a chain restaurant in Ohio is a different animal. In bayou country, they net the shrimp at dawn and boil them by noon. If you have never eaten shrimp that was swimming four hours ago, you have never eaten shrimp.
