Shallot Holmes and the food detectives
Welcome to the "Shallot Holmes and the Food Detectives" blog
Shallot Holmes developed a name for himself already in his pre-teen years thanks to his sharp mind and investigative nature. He was the shallot that could most frequently discover who had just cut up another member of the onion community by carefully performing tears trace analysis on sleeping chefs. Shallot Holmes was inspired to officially pursue a career as a food detective when overhearing his parents discussing a notorious case of food fraud, mainly the addition of horse meat to lasagna that was supposed to contain ground beef only. Shallot Holmes is well educated in all methods used in food analytics.
