They are often referred to as man’s best friend and considered to be extremely loyal to their owners, and now it appears there is no excuse for dogs to be left behind when their owners head for the pub in one part of northeast England. That is because the Brandling Villa in South Gosforth, Newcastle, has come up with a pet-friendly menu.
The pub is now selling a special beer designed for dogs so that drinkers’ four-legged friends can also enjoy a tipple at the same time.
The pub aims to remain traditional but with a modern twist, which includes welcoming dog owners with their pets to enjoy the atmosphere. But rather than just offering water, the pub decided dogs should join the craft beer revolution too and has started to sell the non-alcoholic beverage for pets.

It is made with beer ingredients of malt and hops, but also includes meat extract. Dogs seem to have a thirst for the drink as the Brandling Villa has had to reorder fresh stock after the first 48 bottles ran out in a fortnight.

牠們常被稱為人類最好的朋友,對飼主非常忠實。
現在牠們的主人前往英國東北部的一處酒吧時,沒理由再丟下狗狗了,因為英國新堡南戈斯福斯的酒吧Brandling Villa推出了適合狗狗的菜單。
這間酒吧現在販售一種為狗特製的啤酒,因此酒客的四隻腳朋友也可以在同一時間啜飲一番。
這間酒吧希望能維持傳統但又有點時髦的轉變,歡迎酒客帶狗上酒吧享受氣氛就是轉變之一,不過這間酒吧不只提供水,也認為狗狗應該參與這種精釀啤酒革命,因此開始販售供寵物飲用的非酒精飲料。
這種飲料以啤酒原料麥芽和啤酒花製成,但也內含肉類萃取物。狗狗似乎還滿喜歡這種飲料的,因為第一批四十八瓶在兩週內賣光,Brandling Villa還得重新訂貨。

A: Artificial intelligence technology has been causing controversy lately: a student was caught cheating with AI to win the grand prize in an art contest. B: That’s so absurd. Does this mean that AI paints better than humans? A: Maybe. Luckily, the student was later disqualified. B: And more absurdly, it’s becoming more and more popular to use AI technology to “resurrect” people. A: Yeah, some netizens even posted videos featuring the late singer CoCo Lee, who was “resurrected” by them with AI software. A: 人工智慧的爭議不斷,有學生違規使用AI參加美術展,甚至贏得首獎。 B: 真誇張,這是不是代表AI比人類還強大? A: 或許吧,幸好得獎資格被取消。 B: 還有更誇張的︰讓死者重現的「AI復活」技術越來越熱門。 A: 對啊,還有網友製作已故歌后李玟「復活」的影片呢! (By Eddy Chang, Taipei Times/台北時報張聖恩)
It’s no secret that Japanese people have a deep affection for noodles. Like in the rest of East Asia, noodles are an important staple food, second only to rice. Japanese people have enjoyed noodles for over 1,000 years. The first noodles came from China and were introduced around 800 CE. As time passed, noodles in Japan not only became widespread but also developed some unique Japanese characteristics. The three most popular types of noodles in Japan are ramen, soba, and udon.

Rice is an essential ingredient in Taiwanese cuisine. Many foods are made of rice, adding more variety to our cooking, such as rice cake, or “gui.” Wagui is made by steaming rice flour batter in a bowl. The term “gui” refers to a type of food made from rice, while “wa” refers to a bowl. The pronunciation of “gui” in Taiwanese Hokkien is similar to the word for “nobility” in Chinese, so it is common for people to prepare various types of gui, including wagui, as offerings to the gods or ancestors,. 米是台灣重要的主食,用米製成的食品十分多元,豐富我們的飲食,如米做成的「粿」。粿的意思是米做成的糕點,碗粿是將在來米漿倒入碗中蒸熟,因而得名。粿因為音同「貴」,因此碗粿等粿食常用作供品祭拜神明和祖先。 nobility (n.) 高貴,高尚;貴族 offering (n.) 供品 While Taiwan may not be
