Kolis: Mumbai’s Aboriginal Fishing Community
Author. Stone Soup — 14/ 07/ 2021
Each morning as we scroll through our news feed, we see plastered across it hundreds of articles about our oceans and how endangered they are. Marine activities like fishing, that are said to empower our economies and societies, are ruining the oceans and the life within them. Although it is said that huge steps are being taken to rid our oceans of the chaos we have caused, every small step in that direction is equally important.

Kumamoto
Author. Mika Reilly — 02/ 03/ 2018
Saturday
7:10am, Haneda Airport. Outside is a thick vichyssoise grey fog that bleeds seamlessly into the sea.
We take off into the soupy air, shadows of freighters and fishing boats hanging in the murk below. The plane banks sharp to the left and we pass over the square edges of the Boso Peninsula, an industrial mirage of smokestacks fading in and out of cloud. We’re climbing fast: already a plane coming into land is tiny and swift beneath us.
We’re going to Kumamoto.

Revisiting first loves. A Los Angeles food story
Author. Stone Soup — 02/ 03/ 2018
I was born and raised in Los Angeles as a first generation Mexican-American, which meant that tortillas came with nearly every meal, beans (the perfect food according to my dad) were a staple and tamales were inevitable at every Thanksgiving and Christmas.

Samoa Umu
Author. Aaron McLean — 06/ 10/ 2017
I love visiting the islands and I especially love visiting Samoa – beaming smiles, ‘island time’, beautiful palm-fringed tropical beaches, impromptu laughter-filled rugby games to watch from a sandy perch, rum in hand, book cast aside. Being skinny(ish) and white, I’ve never been game to pretend to be capable of joining in.

Soju Seoul
Author. Kate Richards — 06/ 10/ 2017
It’s hot. I sweat weaving in and out of Myeong-dong’s ubiquitous street food vendors, searching for anything ‘authentic’ amidst curly deep-fried potatoes on sticks, scallops with cheese, hotdogs, and lukewarm pomegranate juice. I don’t know what authentic really means in this context, but do know that – for me at least – Nirvana lies in a sweet spot somewhere between fermenty and spicy.

Here’s Barney Hits LA
Author. Here's Barney — 05/ 09/ 2017
In our last issue we met Wellington-based food/culture lover and connector Barney Hodges — aka @heresbarney — as he showed us around Wellington’s food markets. Of late, Barney has been handling social media duties at Cuba Street’s popular Emporium Vintage secondhand clothing store. Emporium specialise in vintage US streetwear from the 90s and early 2000s. Earlier this year, he headed to Los Angeles for the first time on a buying trip for the shop. Here he shares his reflections on some of the experiences he had and food he sampled during that stint in and around the City of Angels.
