Salmon is popularly called “red fish” because of the color of the meat. But salmon, pink salmon, and trout are also red. Are they related to salmonids? Let's find out who is who.
There are two types of salmon: Pacific and true. Pacific salmon are wild fish that are caught in Sakhalin, Kamchatka, etc. These include pink salmon, chum salmon, coho salmon, sockeye salmon and several other types of fish that have the same red meat. Pacific salmon live in salt water and spawn in fresh rivers only once in their lives. This fish is considered the most useful.
True or noble salmon are almost never found in the wild. They are raised on farms, in lakes and seas, and fed with special feed. Noble salmon include salmon (Atlantic salmon) and trout. Trout also includes several species of freshwater salmon. They are often confused with salmon, since their meat is actually similar in appearance. But trout is less fatty and more delicate in taste.
Thus, salmon is the collective name for salmon fish, which includes many different species. They can be either ocean or freshwater inhabitants and have different taste qualities. Not all of them have red meat - for example, whitefish and whitefish are white, but they also belong to salmon.

How the “bacon and scrambled eggs” breakfast was imposed on the USA at the beginning of the 20th century.
There was such a famous PR man - Edward Bernays (1891-1995), he became famous for many actions, and one of them was the formation of food preferences of the American people by order of a bacon manufacturer.
The order came in the 1920s. Americans used to have a “light” breakfast: coffee, a muffin and orange juice, but bacon sales needed to be boosted.
Bernays used the power of propaganda. First, a cunning PR man tricked one doctor into writing for free to 5,000 colleagues with the question: what is healthier in the morning, a “light” breakfast or a “hearty” one? 4,500 doctors answered “full”, since the body needs energy in the morning.
This was the first trick. Firstly, the word “hearty” was used as an antonym to the word “light”, which is not entirely true. Secondly, nothing is known about the ease of a “light” breakfast, and in context it is perceived as “insufficient.” Obviously, doctors cannot support a lack of calories in the morning.
After that, he ordered articles in newspapers, something like: “4,500 doctors consider a light breakfast harmful, but a hearty one healthy.” Along with the “opinion” of doctors, such articles casually mentioned that such a breakfast could be bacon and eggs.
Bernays described many propaganda techniques in his book back in 1928. The first chapter of the hundred-year-old book begins with words about the manipulation of habits and tastes that are still relevant today:
When the bacon “PR campaign” began, there wasn’t even a sound movie yet. We will not consider all the propaganda tricks used at that time; we will turn only to cinema and animation. Apparently, over time, propaganda began to be added there too.
Symbol of "Sweet Life" 🍭 Italians behind their backs call Prosecco nothing more than dolce vita. And not in terms of the sweetness of the wine, since in most cases Prosecco is a dry sparkling wine, it is about a luxurious lifestyle. The term became popular thanks to the painting of the same name by Federico Fellini.
