World most eaten foods

Here you can see most eaten food in the world...

Chips Masala

This is one type of food that has its origins in India and most of the populations that prefer this type of food are Muslims. It is simply made from potatoes but to make it different from the French fries, there are some additional steps. The potato is usually chopped in a circular shape then dipped into a mixture of dough with other spices. This food can make a good breakfast as well as lunch though it takes a longer time to prepare when compared to the French fries.

Chicken

This is a meal that is common for all countries but the difference is usually on the mode of cooking and the ingredients added. It can be wet fried or deep fried as well as boiled. This makes it a meal that is easy to prepare and does not take much time. Chicken can be served with plain rice, green bananas, chapatti and even French fries. It is one of the most common meals in traditional cultures.

Pancakes

If professionally done, pancakes can be the best breakfast that one can have without digging deeper into his or her pockets. The steps are simple and one can easily learn. Prepare the dough into a smooth paste adding in all the necessary ingredients not forgetting eggs. It is then whisked till it is fine and poured to a hot pan. The trick is usually not to make them thick as they may not be well cooked in the inside.

Pies

Pies are among the most eaten foods in the world and there are many different types of pies depending on the ingredients used to prepare them. Chicken pie is one among the many options for non vegetarians, though vegetarian pies are also sold in many food stalls.

Chocolate

Some may consider chocolates to be for ladies and children only, but this is not true. Though most consumers of chocolate are ladies, there are men who love and adore chocolate in equal measure. Chocolate is what brings out the true meaning of valentine, as it is seen to depict affection. Since it has a high sugar content, one should always make it a habit of brushing teeth after taking a bar of chocolate.

Macaroni

This is a meal that one does not need to attend any cookery classes in order to learn how to prepare it. Following the simple steps outlined on any macaroni package, one can successful come up with a delicious macaroni meal. All you need to do is boil some water, add in salt and a little oil if desired, once the water has reached boiling point pour in the macaroni and leave it to simmer until it is dry. Macaroni just like any pasta has a high energy value and is suitable for breakfast to get your day started.

French fries

It is made from potatoes that have been chopped to small stick shapes, which are then deep fried .Some love it when it is crispy while others enjoy it soft, it all depends with the taste preferences of a person. To complete the taste, it has to have either chili sauce or tomato sauce and is best served with chicken.

Oldest movie in history

Roundhay Garden Scene is an 1888 short silent film recorded by French inventor Louis Le Prince. It is believed to be the oldest surviving film in existence, as noted by the Guinness Book of Records.

Overview

According to Le Prince's son, Adolphe, the film was made at Oakwood Grange, the home of Joseph and Sarah Whitley, in Roundhay, Leeds, West Riding of Yorkshire, on October 14, 1888.

It features Adolphe Le Prince, Sarah Whitley, Joseph Whitley and Annie Hartley in the garden, walking around. Note that Sarah is walking backwards as she turns around, and that Joseph's coat tails are flying as he also is turning. Joseph and Sarah Whitley were Adolph Le Prince's parents-in-law, being the parents of his wife, Elizabeth, and Annie Hartley, also known as Harriet Hartley, was a friend of Le Prince and his wife. Sarah Whitley died ten days after the scene was taken.

Remastered Footage

In 1930 the National Science Museum (NSM), London, produced photographic copies of surviving parts from the 1888 filmstrip. This sequence was recorded on an 1885 Eastman Kodak paper base photographic film through Le Prince's single-lens combi camera-projector. Le Prince's son, Adolphe, stated that the Roundhay Garden movie was shot at 12 frames/s (and a second movie, Traffic Crossing Leeds Bridge, at 20 frames/s), however the later digital remastered version of Roundhay Garden produced by the National Media Museum, Bradford, which contains 52 frames, runs at 24.64 frames/s, a modern cinematographic frame rate, so it plays in only 2.11 seconds. The National Science Museum copy has 20 frames; at 12 frames/s, this produces a run time of 1.66 seconds.

World luckiest man

Frane Selak (born 1929) is a Croatian music teacher who has escaped death seven times, and afterward won the lottery in 2003, prompting journalists to dub him "the world's luckiest man", and "world's luckiest unluckiest man".

Brushes with death

Selak's supposed brushes with death started in January 1962 when he was riding a train through a cold, rainy canyon and the train flipped off the tracks and crashed in a river. Someone pulled Selak to safety, while 17 other passengers drowned. Selak suffered a broken arm and hypothermia. The next year, during his first and only plane ride, he was blown out of a malfunctioning plane door and landed in a haystack; the plane crashed, killing 19 people. However, there is no report of any plane crash in Croatia in 1963. Three years after that, in 1966, a bus that he was riding skidded off the road and into a river, drowning four passengers. Selak swam to shore with a few cuts and bruises.^[1]

In 1968 Selak was teaching his youngest son how to hold a gun when the safety trigger was accidentally off and Selak managed to shoot himself in one of his testicles. He was taken to hospital where the casing from the bullet was found, and his testicle had to be removed.

In 1970 his car caught fire as he was driving and he managed to escape before the fuel tank blew up. Three years later, in another driving incident, the engine of his car was doused with hot oil from a malfunctioning fuel pump, causing flames to shoot through the air vents. Selak's hair was completely singed in this incident, but he was otherwise unharmed. In 1995, he was struck by a bus in Zagreb, but sustained only minor injuries. In 1996 he eluded a head-on collision with a United Nations truck on a mountain curve by swerving into a guardrail, which gave way under the force of his car; he was ejected from the car when the door flew open (he wasn't wearing a seatbelt) and watched his car plummet down 90 metres (300 ft) into a gorge.

As of 2015, none of Selak's claims have been independently verified.

Lottery winner

In 2003, two days after his 73rd birthday, Selak won €800,000 (US$1,110,000) in the lottery. At the time of his win, he also married for the fifth time. While he purchased two houses and a boat with his winnings, in 2010 he decided to give most of the remaining money away to relatives and friends after deciding to live a frugal lifestyle.
