If we are what we eat, then what does our food say about us, our lives, and our world? In a new docuseries called Omnivore, René Redzepi of Copenhagen's Noma unpacks that question as he travels to learn more about the foods that nourish and define us. “Ingredients do more than feed: they fuel economies, power politics, and unlock hidden truths about who we are and where we are going,” narrates Redzepi at the start of the first episode. That episode is dedicated to chili, and it transports us, in the cinematic richness that executive producer Matt Goulding, of Parts Unknown, is known for—from a tiny village in Serbia where every home is sheathed in curtains of bright red string pepper to the Tabasco factory in Louisiana and the night markets of Bangkok—all the while marveling at the heft of an everyday ingredient that has the power to suspend us between pleasure and pain.

It's been 30 years since two workers, one French, one English, dug through an undersea wall and met for the first time in what would become the Channel Tunnel, linking continental Europe with the U.K. via a land route.
Summer is on the way, meaning that the orcas are out to play near the Strait of Gibraltar — which is bad news for sailors.
Imagine being able to board a train from Spain to Morocco, and travel efficiently—and sustainably—between Europe and Africa in under six hours. Thanks to a historic rail tunnel project currently being considered by the two countries’ transportation ministries, the first-ever rail link between the two continents could become a reality in just a few years.
Forty-five years after it was first floated as an idea, a tunnel linking Spain and Morocco could finally be on the horizon.

“People will tell the same old story until they hear a better tale,” says Ahmed, an elder I meet by chance in Tangier's casbah—a Cubist jumble of white buildings beneath circling gulls that cry out over the morning call to prayer. We're chatting, perched on the high ramparts of the old Portuguese citadel, our heels in Africa, Europe on the horizon like a giant seabird gliding toward us. “Birds go back and forth without borders,” muses Ahmed, his words flying just as freely among Darija (Moroccan Arabic), French, and Spanish. Tanjawi—or Tangerines—are sociable polyglots who speak in a meze of languages. Ahmed's hair is as silvered as Moroccan sardines, his green eyes drizzled with amber like the olive oil in bissara pea soup.
The excitement started before I had even arrived in Gibraltar. As the plane steered towards the landing strip, the aircraft’s wing appeared to almost dip into the sea water. Shrieks of joy echoed around the cabin. “Dolphins, dolphins, look, there’s babies!”.
