L'Escargot Des Grands Crus farm was robbed of €90,000 worth of snails being farmed in northern France last Monday.The thieves broke into the farm after cutting a fence and entering the building, according to French media. The thieves then made off with the entire stock of both the fresh and frozen snails.

L'Escargot Des Grands Crus, located near Reims, said the theft was a "real blow" ahead of the Christmas season, when snail is often consumed as a luxury treat.

While the theft is understood to have occurred last Monday, a complaint was filed with police only later in the week, Franceinfo reported.

"This is definitely not the kind of post we thought we'd write as the holidays approach," L'Escargot Des Grands Crus wrote in a statement announcing the theft on Thursday. "We are trying our best to replenish our stocks to satisfy you for the holidays."

Describing itself as a “family business,” the snail farm produces around 350,000 snails per year, which it sells to Michelin-star restaurants. 

"A whole section of finished products was stolen from the store, and raw material stock from my laboratory," Jean-Mathieu Dauvergne, the farm's manager, told Franceinfo. “It was my end-of-year stock... We had just the right amount to get through the holidays without any worries."

Escape from Egypt πŸͺπŸ—» moment on the DNTCCC: Adolf Hitler may have had micro-penis, likely had Kallman syndrome, DNA study finds.

 Adolf Hitler may have had micro-penis, likely had Kallman syndrome, DNA study finds.

Fabric cut from the sofa on which Hitler killed himself contained DNA, which was analysed to reveal that Hitler likely had a genetic condition that disrupts normal sexual development.

A new DNA analysis based on a blood-stained cloth taken from the sofa on which Adolf Hitler killed himself in Berlin in May 1945 suggests he suffered from a genetic disorder affecting sexual development, according to researchers featured in a forthcoming Channel 4 documentary.

The film, titled Hitler’s DNA: A Dictator’s Masterplan, will air on the British network and presents claims about Hitler’s sexuality, ancestry, and mental health drawn from the genetic data, the producers said.

The study is based on a fabric sample cut in May 1945 by Col. Roswell P. Rosengren, a US Army press officer, from the sofa in the FΓΌhrerbunker. Nearly 80 years later, scientists say they authenticated Hitler’s DNA by comparing it to the Y chromosome of a living relative, which they argue enabled them to conduct a broader genetic analysis on the material.

According to the documentary, the main finding is that Hitler likely had Kallmann syndrome, a genetic condition that disrupts normal sexual development.

This, the researchers say, is consistent with a 1923 medical examination revealed in 2015, which suggested that Hitler had an undescended testicle. They add that the syndrome could have altered his testosterone levels and carried about a one-in-ten chance that he had a micro-penis.

Historian claims this finding helps explain Hitler's devotions

Alex J. Kay, a historian at the University of Potsdam and an expert on Nazi Germany, argues in the film that such findings might help explain Hitler’s “almost total devotion to politics with an almost complete absence of private life.” In his view, the Nazi movement could only have risen to power under Hitler’s particular leadership and circumstances, he says in the documentary.

The DNA analysis, the researchers claim, also refutes a long-standing rumor that Hitler had a Jewish grandfather, a charge recently repeated by Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov. Instead, they say the genetic evidence points to Austrian-German origins.

The study further suggests that Hitler’s genome shows very high polygenic scores, placing him in the top percentile for genetic susceptibility to neurodevelopmental and psychiatric conditions such as autism, schizophrenia, and bipolar disorder. However, the scientists stress that this is a statistical assessment based on “polygenic scores” and does not constitute a firm diagnosis, noting that it is impossible to diagnose him retroactively.

Lead geneticist Prof. Turi King is quoted in the film as saying that “if Hitler had seen his own genetic results, he would almost certainly have sent himself to the gas chambers.” She and other experts involved in the project, including Prof. Simon Baron-Cohen of the University of Cambridge, caution strongly against drawing simplistic conclusions.

They emphasize that genetics cannot excuse Hitler’s crimes and warn against linking such conditions to cruelty, in order to avoid stigmatizing people living with similar diagnoses. “DNA is always just one part of someone’s puzzle,” King says in the film. “You cannot see evil in a genome.”

DNTCCC Mid-Week RecipeπŸ₯£πŸ—πŸ₯ͺ: MANGO POMEGRANATE HERB SALAD

MANGO POMEGRANATE HERB SALAD

'Making hay while the sun shines' sounds like a total waste of energy. I'd far rather make the most of the last of the summer fruits by throwing together this dazzling, salsa-style salad.

The clock is ticking as sunshine-yellow mango and sparkling pomegranate jewels are both essential ingredients. These showy fruits are nearly out of season, which makes every bite feel even more special.

Tossed with fresh herbs and a punchy, zesty dressing, this stunning salad is rainbow-bright, amazingly refreshing, and guaranteed to steal the spotlight. You can serve it just as it is, or mix in cubes of raw fish for a light, ceviche-style twist.

I only wish I'd discovered it sooner so that I could have shared it at the start of the season. Fortunately, there's still time to enjoy this masterpiece for a few delicious weeks, before the mangoes and pomegranates disappear.

Before they do… here's the recipe.

MANGO POMEGRANATE HERB SALAD

Ingredients 
     
    1 bunch parsley, finely chopped
    1 bunch coriander, finely chopped
    1 bunch spring onions, thinly sliced
    Seeds from 2 pomegranates
    1 cup mango, diced
    400 grams raw fish (salmon, intias or tuna), cut into small cubes*
    1 small red onion, finely chopped
     
    Dressing:
    ⅓ cup freshly squeezed lemon juice
    ⅓ cup olive oil
    2 garlic cloves, crushed
    1 flat tablespoon coarse salt (used in Step 4)
    * Fish is optional but delicious. Mint can work in place of coriander if you're a herb hater.

    Directions

    1: Whisk together all the dressing ingredients except the salt.
    2: Combine the herbs, fruit, and vegetables then add the finely chopped red onion.
    3: Sprinkle the coarse salt over the fish cubes and allow to stand for 5 minutes then add the fish to the bowl.
    4: Pour the dressing over a few minutes before serving, toss gently, and serve immediately.
     
    Cook's Notes
    The salt 'cooks' the fish slightly, giving it that classic ceviche texture. For a milder version, you can briefly rinse the salted fish before adding it to the salad. It can be served without fish to make a dazzling fruit-and-herb salad.



    Bon AppΓ©tit -  Enjoy!

    DNTCCC Crime News: Restaurant owner sold business to purchase guns for attack on UK Jewry, court told

     

    Restaurant owner sold business to purchase guns for attack on UK Jewry, court told


    Inspired by ISIS, Saadoui had reportedly planned to purchase four AK-47 rifles, two handguns and 1,200 rounds of ammunition to carry out a mass shooting on Jewish targets in the city.

    Walid Saadaoui was said to have sold the Albatross Restaurant in eastern England to purchase firearms to use on an attack on Manchester’s Jewry, prosecutors told Preston Crown Court last week.

    Inspired by ISIS, Saadoui had reportedly planned to purchase four AK-47 rifles, two handguns and 1,200 rounds of ammunition to carry out a mass shooting on Jewish targets in the city. 

    Unknowingly organizing to purchase the weapons from an undercover officer, Saadoui was arrested in a Bolton hotel car park during the firearm delivery, according to media reports.

    Prosecutor Kelly Brocklehurst told jurors that Saadaoui used at least 10 accounts to post ISIS propaganda from 2022 onwards.

    His posts reportedly included: “We will fight until death, even if souls have perished and blood has been shed.” 

    Another, shared in June 2023, read: “Should you be martyred or die in the cause of Allah, then his forgiveness and mercy are far better than whatever wealth those who stay behind accumulated.”

    Amar Hussein, 52,  was also charged with preparing terrorist acts, while Saadaoui's brother Bilel Saadaoui, 36, is charged with failing to disclose information about acts of terrorism.

    All three have pleaded not guilty and jurors were told that the planned attack was unrelated to the terror attack against Manchester’s Jewry on Yom Kippur.
