Bad Rookie Initiations





A controversial laid ...



If we had the chance to see a table spread of the Middle Ages would notice the almost constant absence of a fork. Kings, emperors and noble women ate with their hands and if you happen to somehow find a museum, you know that belonged to the cook who used to hold the meat while cutting. The fork appears for the first time between the silver king of France in 1379, but its use became widespread in the wealthier social classes in late 1500. In 1530, the chef of the Duke of Ferrara, Christopher Messisbugo, between the utensils necessary to the preparation of a meal does not mention the fork, use was considered inappropriate or even a luxury evil, in fact, St. Peter Damian in the name of the simplicity of Strongly condemns the costumes Theodora, wife of the Doge of Venice Selvo who daily used a fork.

Orval, beer, history and legend.



The name of this important abbey brewery "derives from an episode that I would
bbe happened centuries ago in Matilde di Canossa. The countess sat on the banks of the river that supplied water to the monastery, carelessly dropped his wedding ring. Desperate addressed a prayer to the Virgin Mary asked that his jewel could be found. After a while a trout emerged at the surface having the ring in the mouth of Matilda. The countess said: "This place is a valley of gold" in French a "Val d'Or" which over the centuries has become Or-val.
The Real Story of Orval has its origin in 1070 d. C. when a group of Benedictine monks from Calabria decided to settle on the lands of the Count of Chiny Arnold, who gave them permission to build a monastic building. For unknown reasons of these pioneers abandoned the construction of the building and Otto's son Arnold replaced them with a small community of canons that lately the construction of the monastery. In 1124 the church was consecrated by vescoco of Verdun. But the canons were now dealing with the economic problems and were forced to join the order of Citeaux that in those years was expanding strongly. Then in 1132 came seven Cistercian monks who joined the canons. The Cistercians created over the years a very strong domain of agriculture and forestry, which assured their full subsistence allowing live by the principles of self-reliance contained in their Rule of Life. At the end of the twelfth century the Abbey of Orval seemed to prosper but difficult to wait centuries, in 1252 a fire almost razed to the ground in 1400 and 1500 wars between France and Burgundy before and between France and Spain then, it undermined the economic prosperity, in 1637 during the Thirty Years' War the troops of Marshal Chatillon burned it. Despite these difficulties, the Cistercian community was able to react strongly but had to surrender in 1793 when French revolutionary troops was totally destroyed the abbey. The survivors retreated in Luxembourg and in 1796 the community of Orval was suppressed completely. In 1926, however, the family offered Harenna the ruins of the monastery the order of Citeaux in the hope that the monastic life could flourish. Jean Baptiste Chautard, Abbot of Sept-Fons, accepted responsibility for the "re-foundation" and sent to a group Orval of monks. Very quickly a new monastery was born in 1948 and reconstruction was completed.
beer in the history of Orval:
probably from the early years of the abbey had its own brewery. Making beer was the norm in these parts of northern Europe is hardly conducive to growing grapes. The beer produced by this monastic community until 1931 was used to meet domestic demand also because it has nutritional properties that they deserve the name of "liquid bread." What happened in the '30s? The monks who needed to liquids (no alcohol ...) to rebuild the monastery decided to build a brewery to finance themselves, entrusting the management of it lay two brewers. The Belgian and German Pappenheimer Van Zande worked side by side for months, this unusual collaboration (try to ask a German what do you think of Belgian beer ... and vice versa :-)) was born beer Orval. The flavor? Here are the tasting sheet on this www.mondobirra.org :
Beer Trappist Abbey of Orval original has a unique style. From the choice of malts (they are used three different varieties), the types of hops used, up to the particular cultures of yeasts, nothing is left to case. The goal is "the gout d'Orval, which can be reached with three fermentations, the latter of which is in the bottle, giving rise to a deposit rich in B vitamins (natural fermentation in the bottle). Pinkish in color with orange highlights the Orval has intense aromas of ripe fruit, especially plums and prunes white. The mouth is dry, fresh and soft, fruity, rich tones of vegetables, with a background of bitter rhubarb and china, and a touch of licorice as the particular processes of hopping. It has a creamy foam, fresh and lingering aftertaste.

Famous World Leaders January 2010



Bartolomepo Scappi cook Pius V

The life of Bartolomeo Scappi, cook secret (ie staff) of Pius V, Fitters sumptuous banquets and author of a famous treatise on gastronomy of the sixteenth century, ' Opera can be reconstructed on the basis of a rough few secure items that can be taken from historical references contained in the text of his treatise.
The term further is the date April 1536, when the escapement mechanism, being at the service of Cardinal Lorenzo Camping, had the task of preparing a great banquet in honor of Charles V, the nearest is on January 17, 1567, under which is marked by a celebratory banquet him full of food in the first anniversary of the pontificate of Pius V. Also, since it is likely that the exhaust was still alive when he appeared the first edition of his treatise (1570), we have enough to believe he was born in the early decades of the sixteenth century - probably Bolognese family - and that after reaching the degree of "secret chef" at the age of Pius V (perhaps since the time of Paul III) died in the Middle back to 1570.
Under the plot a few data, however, hides a personality of great importance, estimated in the same way as other best-known performers and witnesses of Renaissance culture. Any doubts one might perhaps suggest the authenticity of the experience and knowledge of literary Scappi, which seems to constitute not so much in the guise of "author" in the function of the exponent of a "working group" that had to include , together with experts of a specific technique, the connoisseurs of the sciences that were connected, the master of courtly ritual, and not least, some "man of the pen" in charge to give order and as the plethora of literary material collected, the largest and most complete that is offered by the Italian treatises of the past. And not enough about the active role of the director explained it from escaping to restore that part of the authentic witness of a costume - that is true auteur - because guess who might be accused of: the sign is the author's personal the unitary conception of the Treaty, in its articulated structure, the coherence of a discourse that does not give up for the nuances and yet is not steeped in some verbiage that were dear to the taste of it is didactic in the efficacy of the wording and the discretion used in against the carrying capacity of the reader, for whom nothing is concealed that will help him quickly in the interpretation or ambiguity in the practical difficulty of the exercise. The title of
Opera prides itself in the Treaty of Scappi therefore appears fully justified: it is a summary of the doctrine established by the daily work of an office of a teaching and educational translated in terms of example.

Opera

Matter of the Work is divided into six books: the first, in the form of reasoning that the author imagines to do with his disciple John, this is the cook, the gifts to it are required and the tasks that are proper, the way to build environments for kitchen use, the various household goods, the method to know the best way to preserve food and healthy in the second of the various dishes of meat quadrupeds or birds, domestic and wild, and a pack of sauces and flavors, in the third fish, their appearance and nature of the way to cook them and preserve them, the different ways of cooking vegetables and eggs to make soups and d 'every kind, in the fourth list of food, distributed according to the season, fifth in the manner of packing pies, tarts, offelle, cakes, pancakes and cakes of all kinds, in the sixth of the food more suitable for food for the sick and convalescent.
The structure of the work reported here is consistent with the first edition of the Treaty (Sandwich Michele, Venice 1570), and the following other reprints until the first half of the seventeenth century, enriched by the addition of the Treaty "Trinciante" Vincent Cervio.

FOOD AND GOOD SOPHISTICATED FOOD

The trade in foodstuffs procured the significant royalty income, which is why the government authorities should be careful of counterfeits. In fact, the opportunities to defraud consumers were numerous. The wine was one of the goods that could be tweaked easily. In Lille the servants of the Duke of Burgundy Philip the Good preferred to buy wine by the monks because their social status was no guarantee of good wine and not altered. Managers instead of taverns were often accused of selling poor quality wines at higher prices or to lie about the origin of them. The magistrates of the city forced then to the tavern to taste their wines from a sommelier authorized to determine whether the products had been tampered with or not. In Bruges whenever a landlord wanted to sell the wine of a new barrel, he saw two men come into his shop, a wine taster that occurred if it was suitable for sale and an officer who had the task of measuring the size of containers in which he was paid. In addition to the winemakers another category to which the authorities had to pay attention was that of the butchers, it was not uncommon that sold beef, claiming to be castrato. All these control measures also translate into concern for public hygiene, as noted in the municipalities of Piedmont, where, in particular, butchers had to submit to very strict rules: was forbidden to leave out of their shop even the entrails of animals had to be closed in a bucket and dumped in a river outside the city.

BREAD IN MEDIEVAL

Men of the Middle Ages had the capacity, especially in times of difficulty food, bread is not only to transform into different types of grains, but as we shall see, to get some beans and flour baking frutti.Il proceedings began with the 'sifting', which is separated from the bran flour was used for which a special instrument called "Tumble", he then proceeded to mix the flour with warm water until it obtained a ball of dough was leavened in a closed container overnight : This was called the "growing" and needed to rise the next mass. A small amount of this mixture was kept aside and was used to successiva.Inizialmente leavening bread was sold to size and looked like a large dome. There was a form of value of money, a larger shape or double and another smaller one called offering. Then the price began to be dictated by the type of flour used: undoubtedly the most expensive bread was bread wheat as the Provencal "pain de bouche," light and soft, then there was the bread medianus "obtained by mixing wheat and grains lower and finally the poor quality of bread made entirely from corn waste. The most original loaves, however, were those that were produced in times of famine, those who Camporesi called the "bread wild" , You do not hesitate to make bread with raw materials that were not cereals between those that had the most success was the chestnut. This plant of European origin, most common in Italy, France and Spain, began to be cultivated since the time of the Roman Empire and after a period of stasis, began to spread for the second time after the year one thousand. The phenomenon of the chestnut bread was such a scale that some scholars have coined for this fruit, the espresssione "chestnut civilization." This "civilization" can be identified with the peoples of the high hills and mountains, especially those including between 300 and 1000 meters, since this is the end of natural spread of the chestnut harvest castagno.La was through "beating", or after you eat fresh, or they proceeded to dry in order to get the flour. This operation was done in the "squeegee", a building built in the woods, which had a lower level used as a furnace. The flour obtained had the distinction of having more than just starch and sugar consumed fresh chestnuts, and could, therefore, to ensure that the organization a viable alternative in case of lack of other food substances. Since its flour, in addition to bread, you could make a polenta sweet taste and also make the "Chestnut", a typical Tuscan dessert that is still oggi.Un other types of bread, for its peculiarities, certainly deserves consideration is that obtained from barley. For the low gluten content, the lack of elasticity and thus its difficulty to rise, barley did not lend itself easily to the bakery and its consumption was quite rare. It is used only in times of crop failure, but the same can not be said of many hermits and philosophers, who consumed it is precisely because of that 'drought', for which he was so disliked. As a capable, according to the mentality of time to dry the damp mood, this type of bread became the food of choice for all those who, through the mortification of physical pleasure, seeking detachment from the world.

THE FOOD OF THE CLOWN IN THE MIDDLE AGES


Explain the feeding practices of the rural world is extremely difficult, because the kitchen of the poor has not been written and to rebuild it, we must necessarily resort to evidence or archaeological or distributed information in censuses, in wills, inventories in the post-mortem or those detectable in the documents that tell us about the funeral banquet. The census indicates the share of agricultural production due to the lord by his employees but not their habits alimentari.Fino the late thirteenth century rents in kind were made of easily transportable quality products: wheat, wine, poultry, ham, salted fish formaggi.Per and the farmers and small landowners these food items were almost luxurious, the payment of rent for some, and the need to obtain the money, forcing them to consume as little as possible and reserved to the families banchetti.Molte farmers were trying to take from the lands that they cultivated the products they need and buy on the market only those who could not produrre.Il diet of poor rural classes was more modest in France in 1268, the ration for a married couple subject to chores consisted of a loaf of bread from 2.25 kg, 4 liters of wine and 200 grams of meat or bread eaten by peasants uova.Il was made with less expensive grains such as barley and rye, and had a dark color. As for the wine it has advantages that made him attractive to the rural lower classes, a considerable nutritional value, antiseptic properties and effects euforizzanti.Riguardo consumption of meat, it must be said that the country underwent a significant change in diet between low and high Middle Ages Middle Ages until the ninth century the cottages were able to meet their requirements for meat without problems, but with the gradual closure of the spaces of hunting was much more difficult for them procurarsela.Tuttavia the pig continued to be important in the diet farmer, sheep and geldings were eaten when they were rather old after they had exhausted their ability to produce wool and latte.Anche food legumes were important, so are beans, lentils and chickpeas often appeared on the tables contadine.Negli kitchen gardens were cultivated a wide variety of vegetables: cabbage, onions, garlic, leeks, turnips, spinach and pumpkins. The picture is completed by the collection, in fields and woods, asparagus, watercress, mushrooms and some plants herbs, like marjoram, thyme, basil, bay leaf, fennel or salvia.Con legumes, vegetables, small amounts of meat, fat or oil rarely, and pieces of hard bread or flour, farmers prepared soups or stews, hot dishes, which were accompanied by the bread and wine. In the days of penance, the meat was replaced by the cheese, the dried fruit, eggs or fish oil and fat of oliva.In rare occasions, almost always in conjunction with the great liturgical feasts, to make up for the day penance and to break the monotony of everyday farming families improve their meals, they organized the banquet in which the meat (usually sheep) was accompanied by local seasonings (garlic and onion) and even in some rare cases, it was seasoned with spices (pepper), fresh fruit but was not particularly appreciated.
