Michelin stars may symbolize excellence, but they can also bring extreme pressure, burnout, and high costs.
The Michelin–Sysco partnership raises questions about corporate influence, authenticity, and sustainability in fine dining. Meanwhile, former Noma employees have alleged physical and psychological abuse, intimidation, and exploitative internships—concerns that challenge the industry’s image of culinary perfection.

**St. Werenfrid’s Day** is associated with **St. Werenfrid of Elst**, a 7th-century Irish missionary and priest who worked in the Netherlands. His feast day is traditionally observed on **August 14**.

# # # 🌱 Who was St. Werenfrid?

St. Werenfrid (also spelled **Werenfridus**) was one of the Irish missionaries who traveled to the Low Countries during the early Christianization of the region. He is particularly associated with **Elst and the Betuwe area of the Netherlands**, where he preached and established Christian communities.

According to tradition, he was connected with the cultivation and care of the land, which eventually led to his being regarded as a **patron of gardeners and vegetable gardens**.

# # # 🥕 Why is he the patron of vegetable gardens?

The gardening association is rooted largely in **local tradition and legend**, rather than a well-documented historical account of him personally being a professional gardener.

St. Werenfrid became associated with:

* 🌱 **Vegetable gardens**
* 🌾 Agriculture and cultivation
* 🌻 Gardeners
* 🌳 Fruit trees and the land
* 🌧️ Protection of crops

In parts of the Netherlands, his feast became connected with **harvest and agricultural traditions**, particularly because of his association with Elst, an area historically known for orchards and farming.

# # # 📅 When is St. Werenfrid’s Day?

His traditional feast is **August 14**, placing it right in the heart of the late-summer growing season. That timing makes the connection to gardens and harvest especially fitting.

# # # 🇳🇱 His connection to Elst

St. Werenfrid is the **patron saint of Elst**, in Gelderland, Netherlands. The town has a long association with him, including **St. Werenfridus Church**.

🥬 **Collard Greens: More Than a Side Dish—A Legacy of Flavor.**

Long before they became a staple of Southern kitchens, collard greens were cultivated in the Mediterranean over 2,000 years ago. As they made their way to America, they became deeply rooted in African American culinary traditions, symbolizing resilience, resourcefulness, and the power of gathering around the table.

Today, collard greens are celebrated not only for their rich, earthy flavor but also for their incredible health benefits.

✨ Packed with:
🥬 Vitamin K for strong bones
🥬 Vitamins A & C to support your immune system
🥬 Fiber for digestive health
🥬 Calcium and antioxidants for overall wellness

Whether slow-simmered with smoked turkey, seasoned with garlic and olive oil, or paired with modern global flavors, collard greens continue to prove that some of the most humble ingredients create the most memorable meals.

At **Shear Taste**, we believe every ingredient has a story—and every meal is an opportunity to celebrate culture, history, and great food.

💬 **Tell us:** How does your family make collard greens? Smoked turkey, ham hocks, bacon, vegetarian, or a recipe that's been passed down for generations?
