Pretzel rabbit. A medieval emblem

Pretzel. A medieval emblem

Pretzel, or pretzel, like me I do not care. Either way you can call.

How? What do you say? What you do not know what it is? , Ah, I'm sure I do, plus we have already named here at the blog occasionally (read HERE )

With a heart-shaped loop and older than corduroy, dating back, as so often, apparently - to a medieval Italian monastery around the year 610, and in which the monk cook to prepare unleavened bread had the brilliant idea to make a watermark with Masita to reward the little guy who had managed to learn the prayers their hard to retain.

mass - the chef is going to resemble sculptor tried ...- two arms across the chest in supplication.

What a great incentive to encourage kids to learn the lesson. No?

.

Apparently these little pretiolas (rewards) were so yummy (and only with flour water and salt) that disclosure and use eventually spread fast, like wildfire, but doing - yes-a curious wine tour.

Eye, not to confuse or malpensa .. we're talking about monks ... and masses ... and communion ... y. .. Wine!

Joking aside, the truth is that it's true what they say.

Crossing the Italian wine regions, Alsace, from where the first image data of the pretzel-and France, and giving then the leap to Austria to get to Germany, was leaving pretiola taste yummy on its way .

Although is that "the monk, the only legend that exists about the origin of the pretzel ...

Considered the "snack" or snack world's oldest, who is originally associated with Celtic rituals.

(In the picture one of the oldest representations, dating from 1190.

The scene shows a feast involving Queen Esther and her husband, the Persian king Ahasuerus / Xerxes.)

And although not exactly the place where Italy had the biggest boom, the funny thing is that he was with his arrival Austria and Germany where the pretzel came to be considered something of an institution, almost, almost a national symbol of which are decorative ceramic figurines, decorations or even with corn silk braid.

If even Brueghel the Elder in 1559 hired him as a symbol of Lent in his painting allegorical struggle between Carnival and Lent. (The pretzel in the front row in the red wagon, bottom right)

And, although this type of snack is joined today unfailingly salchichero a good German meal was not always that their only role.

pretzel in Germany was part of the rituals of Easter and are looking for - along with hidden "Easter eggs. In New Year, was carried as a talisman, fastened to the wrist. And also in the wedding ceremony had its importance since it launched the air by the newlyweds to be broken, while calling for a wish. Y - ...- could not miss the funeral rites also placed a bow on the coffin for the deceased arrived safely to heaven.

he acquired so much importance in everyday life, that by the year 1111, German bakers had to Brezel, brezno brezl or, as an emblem of gemio baker. (pictured)

.
But ... Did you know that well, this little "reward" was such a crucial role in preserving the sovereignty of Vienna in 1510, when he was attacked by the Turks, who have won even own a shield?

.

Legend has it that the Turkish army was digging a tunnel under the walls of the city of Vienna to conduct a surprise attack, when bakers heard the noise. Fast can they told the army to avoid the attack. And in gratitude, the king rewarded the bakers with their own coat of arms which is formed by the image of a pretzel.

But this charming little bow was not content with making only European routes, not! In his career, or rather his "navegadura" the pretzel came to America aboard the Mayflower .

The year was 1620 and what the pretzel did not know there was going to take hold so strongly, that even going to branch into two versions: soft and hard, sweet and salty.

.
apparently was here where they originated by chance and thanks to over-baked pretzels famous "tough."

Gee, if softies were good ... Crisp was even better.

Nothing, nothing ... we do not come saying they are German or maybe ... The pretzels are Americans! In Pennsylvania "" city ", and ná more!

And, of course, once set to "innovate", followed by pulling the thread ... And ... the pretzels went from his famous heart-shaped loop, having its variants round to donut, sprinkled with salt, and flavored with cheese, cinnamon , Sugar, almonds, flaky type, or whatever you know how. But the thousand and one.

I tell you. Another institution there as well, both on 24 April, the United States celebrates a national day of pretzel.

Takes chestnut!

... What may give him a bow ... Right?

Holiday

capricious one day ago, half sunny, half cloudy. When the sun sets extends a shadow, has come back again to look hard. Men and women notice it heating up the back, chest, arms, and feel that the body expands, comes alive ... and therefore give big hugs, raise their arms for anything, they run after a girl, or laugh out loud.

Lemonade! Cuba is a huge installed lemonade on a table covered with a cloth, and yellow water lemons floating fish seem swollen. In the thick glass vessels seems thick, almost like jelly. Why will not know to drink without spilling it? All the world spilled before the vessel passes to the next the last drops are thrown in a circle.

Aunt Mary. Intensity of slavery

Tia Maria . Intensity of slavery

From unique flavor, a mixture of coffee and caramel rum, Tia Maria liqueur usually the ideal finish to a meal. At least this has been considered in my house forever. And in fact was just as I discovered, thanks to my father, a diehard fan, and the truth is that I was not hard to share your taste and get hooked to it.

More or less I seemed to hear Marley every time I tried: reggae Pá here softly, softly reggae over there and I was there, turned into Rastafari. The Tia Maria possibly one of the richest coffee liqueur I know

and is also rich and flavorful history. Mix

legend and reality, no one knows for sure where they abut one another, but in any case I will tell it "if the flies."

was hanging around the year 1655 when it happened that the noble English people of Jamaica are the octopus falling and legs had to abandon the island at full speed. The british arrived to take over the entire staff of senior and had run all of a sudden the good life and the gently swaying in the hammock and the sea breeze love coconut.

bottle jack, a fully-fledged ERE me with this hair!

Hala, hala ... hastily, hardly gave them time to put the flip flops ...


Jopelines, run run, which is Morgaaaaaaaaaaaaan!

And lo, in full bustle of whether this slipper is mine and this slave is yours, do not expect that I will still go for 'l puchero'los chickpeas ... one of these ladies well, he found himself separated from his family and the only company, yes, thank goodness for that was a good girl, "his personal slave who apparently nicknamed: Tia Maria . (I imagine it possibly raised a child)

Whatever the case, and according to legend, the slave-probably because their survival instinct WISE "" own "" "and its atavistic slave BE NO" Miss " well managed to protect Miss (not Scarlet, "" Señoríta'Calata ""... Do you remember the character Mami in " What the Wind" ..?, in the image ) packet containing valuable black pearl earrings invaluable and not only because black pearls, "but also because they belonged neither more nor less than the Queen Elizabeth ; the Catholic, of course. But there were also seen along with the earrings also a scroll with the recipe of an ancient family liquor.

... Well, this is what the legend says that the less is curious. I sincerely doubt that both were together in the same package. Rather I am inclined to think that the recipe for future liquor was an invention or wisdom of Tia Maria own perhaps have heard or taken together with their "fellow-slavery groups." But of course, is more chic-especially then-think the recipe is not own a slave or slave Jamaican anyone, but, once again, is proviniente a child or children the moment well.

Always classes.

Me: I doubt it. Not that there are classes, but it was something out of the famous family well. For what it's like Aunt Mary -those who think you have tried-is closer to the race, blood and Afro-Jamaican flavors to the possible prescription of a sixteenth century English. Although perhaps if written on a scroll at the hands of a English, but very possibly have been heard through the lips of others or perhaps tasted there in Jamaica by others, the native and proper taste of the locals. But it is my opinion, of course. I have no evidence to argue.

Legend has it that the recipe was from the English family. My opinion instinctive, and also is called Tia Maria makes me suspect otherwise, but it is only a suspicion. Mine. Spain has fantastic wines and spirits, I will not discover anything new by saying that now, but what surprises me is that much if it was a English man who had so much power there then, the liquor had not been released before. Or yes and there she was parchment and considered a valuable asset, and just what has happened is that with all the bundled merequeté that history does not remember the widespread consumption level and / or bottling.

Who knows. The data is lost and only appears when the happy Tia Maria becomes relevant this time no longer as the slave but of saving his lady and above all, of the valuable heritage. Voila, tachán recipe with masterful including . But unknown? until then.

Curious.

Anyway, apparently those only 2 possessions rescued from hasty "exit feet, was the only gift that was traditionally passed down from generation to generation in the family Miss Scarlet is not, of course. Not in the Aunt. That to put the formula and the name had had enough.

The thing is, the years passed, and that young lady married to an officer of British forces, and when you further than his daughter married his eldest daughter, was established a tradition that was later continued by successive generations. Black pearl earrings and the famous parchment would as a wedding gift from generation to generation.

And again they spend more years, and the tradition continued And lo, suddenly, in the seventeenth century, Jamaica became a doctor, named Kenneth Leigh Evans, who studies Spirits certain Caribbean and especially Jamaican encountered this delicacy with coffee and rum to taste it, it seems, at the home of the descendants of the famous family.

"But what is this?!, he said. And he began to GAID. And pull the thread base reached Tia Maria . Eye Aunt Mary told and not the girl's family well.

had in his hands something valuable that I could not miss. But how? The liquor happy posed a problem not yet solved. Was ephemeral. After mixing the formula lasted just two days. His spirit escaped, leaving non-condensing. So it was something only prepared for special occasions.

But he, like me, it is clear that a single taste became a fan and, without thinking twice went to work, leading finally to the point, and stop getting caught in the bottle the intense spirit of Aunt Mary . This time in a beautiful variant of slavery as Genia trapped in the bottle of aromas of vanilla, sugar cane and rum.

Not a bad way to finish. Or start, depending how you look. The bottle may or may always half empty or half full. I prefer to stay with the latter. And to think that the formula is purebred. The characteristic of the people who work hard and have not always been recognized in time. Or maybe you do, and then curiously the liquor has a curious peculiarity that seems to point in justice to the root of its origins: It can be packaged in clear bottle. It should always be packaged in dark bottle. order not to lose his spirit.
