The unusual mammal called the aardvark was named by South Africans in the early 19th century. In the local language, Afrikaans, aardvark means earth pig.. This name aptly describes a large, heavily built animal with thin hair and short, stumpy legs. The scientific name of the aardvark is Orycteropus afer.

The labels of most brands of sugars on supermarket shelves neglect to say whether what's inside is cane or beet. In some brands, the contents can vary from day to day. The Chronicle tested and blind-tasted creme brulee, cookies and cakes made with beet and cane sugar and found that indeed there is a difference.rown sugar from C & H Sugar Co. and other cane refiners uses the process, but beet sugar is different. It's made by refining the sugar all the way to the final white granular stage, stripping off all the molasses because beet molasses is unfit for human consumption (it's recycled as cattle feed).
