Pig at Edinburgh Zoo 'oldest in the world' as it hits 23rd birthday
Our community members are treated to special offers, promotions and adverts from us and our partners. You can check out at any time. More info Get the latest Edinburgh Live breaking news on WhatsApp An animal at the Edinburgh Zoo is the oldest of her species in the world, and she just turned a year older. Mina the Visayan warty pig celebrated her 23rd birthday today on Saturday, August 16. The mammal is the oldest recorded of her species. Visayan warty pigs usually only live until 15-years-old, according to Edinburgh Zoo. She ushered in the big day with a birthday cake make of sweet potato, blueberries, and a peanut 'candle'. Adorable photos were shared on Edinburgh Zoo's social media, showing Mina snacking on her treats beside a box reading, "Happy 23rd Birthday, Mina". Visayan warty pigs are native to the Visayan islands - an archipelago in the Philippines - but can only now be found on two of the islands, having become extinct on the other four due to hunting and habitat loss. Warts on the boar's face are part of a defence mechanism, designed to protect them from sharp tusks when fighting occurs. Boars also grow thick, hairy manes which they can raise to increase their size and presence, according to Edinburgh Zoo. The Zoo cares for a group of nine warty pigs, including Mina. A post on the Edinburgh Zoo's Instagram reads: "Happy birthday, Mina! At 23 years old she is currently the oldest recorded Visayan warty pig! "In the wild they typically live to be 15. Mina's age is testament to the great care she receives from our keepers and vets. "Her special birthday cake is made up of sweet potato, blueberries and a peanut 'candle'". Delighted followers commented on the post to with Mina well on her birthday. One commented: "Happiest of birthdays Mina enjoy your special day". Another shared: "Happy birthday, beautiful".

We tried 3D-printed fish at Edinburgh vegan restaurant and were gobsmacked
Our community members are treated to special offers, promotions and adverts from us and our partners. You can check out at any time. More info Lots of people think going vegan means giving up comfort foods and traditional home-style dishes, but that's not the case. Especially now, with plant-based food science getting better and better, vegan alternatives to your favourite dishes are becoming easier to find and increasingly convincing. That's what brought me to Sora Diana one Saturday August 16 to try 3D printed "fish". Sora Diana, located on Causewayside in city centre serves mouth-watering vegan Italian food. Their menu includes vegan versions of Italian classics like carbonara, ravioli, pizza, and even plant-based steaks. I've been vegetarian for nearly a decade, with three years of veganism in the middle. Vegan food remains one of my favourite types of cuisine but one thing I've always missed is fish. I grew up in the United States fishing off the coast of the Jersey Shore and nothing hits more than a good fillet. When I ordered the 3D-printed fish, I was curious how similar it would be to real fish. Sora Diana is offering the dish for a limited time only while they trial the product on their menu. It comes from Revo foods, which specialises in plant-based, 3D printed "meat" products. They use cutting-edge technology to print plant-based "fish" using an edible "ink". Revo also sells "salmon" and "octopus" products, which includes tentacles and suction cups. I should begin with the slight disclaimer that I haven't eaten fish since I was 16, which was nearly 10 years ago. However, I was shocked to find that the white "fish" bore a striking resemblance to the real thing. The fillet had an uncannily fishy flavour. Even the oils had a similar mouth feel. Internally, it even had the ridges and lines of real fish and had a soft melt-in-the-mouth flavour. (Image: Edinburgh Live) I'll admit, the first bite initially feels a bit foreign but then the fishy flavour really hits and you wonder how they got it to taste that way using only plant-based ingredients The dish was paired with red and yellow tomatoes, sautéed samphire, and fluffy pita, rounding out a really delicious and hearty meal. Overall, I'd say the fillet was not exactly, 100 per cent identical in texture to fish but it was undeniably tasty and definitely the most convincing plant-based meat substitute I've ever tried. It gives a genuine fillet a run for its money and is something I would recommend to non-vegans as a delicious, well-rounded meal. Lots of us who go vegan and vegetarian didn't do so because we didn't dislike the taste of meat, so having plant based alternatives to familiar, homy recipes is comforting. (Image: Edinburgh Live) Sora Diana introduced the white fish today, Saturday, August 16 and it is available while stocks last. The Revo product may make a permanent appearance on the menu if the trial goes well, so try it while you can.
