National Dishes Report #16

So, it has been a little over 3 months since our last report. And so far, 2023 has been a year of adversity, celebration, challenges, goodbyes and wonder.
In January we marked my birthday and another wonderful family reunion in St. Augustine. We traveled through the Florida panhandle, Mississippi and Alabama. In February we lost our good friend Lauren Verdich. March brought health challenges to some we love including our fur baby Gena. We reconnected with our friend Melissa Blackburn . In April, we celebrated our first Passover Seder with our new friends Neil and Gail W. (This was a wonderful and DELICIOUS experience!) Our friend Gail Morse hosted us for the Aztec March Madness games, baseball opening day, movie night, Oscar night and a traditional Easter. Lauren's son, Jordan (who is a professional chef) and Gail hosted us for a wonderful BBQ dinner...and sent us home for enough food to eat for a week. Of course, food is often at the center of these journeys.

During this period, we tried 61 new items and visited (virtually and otherwise) the cuisines of 24 countries and regions. Locations gastronomically visited for the first time are- Florida; Kentucky; Alabama; Mississippi, the Andalucia region of Spain, Japan's Kanto Prefecture, the Indian States of Punjab and Jammu and Kashmir, and Portugal's Province of Entre-Douro-e-Minho.

I'll post a full list again of all our dishes since we began in August 2021 when we return from our next adventure...which starts tomorrow. Until then, Erin Go Bragh, Alba Gu Brath and Keep a Stiff Upper Lip!

1/11/23- Florida- Minorcan Clam Chowder- a spicy version of a tomato-based chowder devised by indentured workers from Minorca, Spain to Florida.
a Florida Mule cocktail- akin to the Moscow mule...but made with the local Florida Cane Vodka from the St. Augustine Distillery Co.
Spain- Sangria
1/12/23- Florida- Fried Pickles (this is a Southern dish but we are counting it for Florida since we tried in St. Augustine)...but,guess what?-it was first noted in Oakland, California in 1962.
Pulled Pork sandwich...we've had this dish before...but it is popular all over the South so also counting this one for Florida this time.
Kentucky- Moon Pie (a chocolate graham cracker and marshmallow cookie sandwich popular all over the South...but originated in KY)
1/13/23- Florida- Cuban Sandwich- yes...it originated in Cuba... but is now a staple in Florida.

Carolina- but we're counting it here for Mississippi since we tried it in Biloxi).
2/6/23- Szechuan Province of China- Mapu Tofu- a very spicy dish.
2/8/23- Emilia-Romagna Province of Italy- Majani Chocolate (Majani was the first chocolatier to make hard chocolate- in 1796- and the original store is still in operation!) (A gift from Jean Wilkinson!)

March 1- Kanto Region of Japan - Shoyu Ramen
England, UK- Red Leiceister Cheese

Israel- (10)- Matzo; chopped liver (made by Gail Morse...following Lauren's recipe- delicious)!; Hummus; Matzo-Ball Soup; Haroset- a sweet combination of apples, nuts, etc- our new favorite!; latke (a crispy potato pancake- which actually originated as an European Ashkenazi dish); Brisket and Potato Kugel both also originated with the Ashkenazis); Macaroons (probably originated in Italy) and another Ashkenazi dish- Tzimmes- stew typically made from carrots and dried fruits such as prunes or raisins, often combined with other root vegetables.

December 2019 Monthly Scavenger Challenge | Chestnuts
December 1 - 31, 2019
150p. min.

*****1. Exactly where is up for debate, but somewhere in Asia Minor, the “Sardis acorn” began to spread across Asia and Europe. The Old French term “chastain” is derived from the Latin “Castanea” which is also the scientific name for the chestnut tree. The English called chastains “chesen nuts,” which eventually became the term we are familiar with - “chestnuts.” No matter what you call them, chestnuts can be a yummy and healthy treat if roasted properly.
🍂 Read a book that has a different title from when it was originally published; tell us the original title OR read a book that takes place anywhere in Asia or Europe; tell us where.-UK- Agatha Raisin and the Walkers of Dembley by M.C. Beaton 12/11/19

*****2. Chestnut trees flower in the late spring or early summer. The “female” flowers tend to grow closer together by the tree’s trunk and two to three flowers (each of which produces a fruit) will eventually grow together and form a brown husk or hull. Within the husk, the fruit is contained in a spiny pod called a bur or burr. Eventually, the burrs will turn yellow-brown and open in two to four sections. Each burr contains one to seven nuts.
🍂 Read a book with a cardinal number in its title (one, two, three – not first, second, third) - The Thirteen Problems by Agatha Christie 12/3/19
OR read a book with a single tree on its cover; remember to post the cover.

*****3. Unlike most nuts, chestnuts are rich in carbohydrates. Many populations, especially those where wheat flour was scarce, survived on chestnuts as their sole starch. Eventually the potato came into existence in Europe and Asia and supplemented chestnuts. There are still regions in Italy where chestnut “cakes” are used in place of potatoes.
🍂 Read a book in which the first letter of all title words (a,an,the DO count) may be found in CARBOHYDRATE; 3 word minimum OR read a book that is set in Italy or has an Italian character; tell us who if using the character option.- set in Italy- A Farewell to Arms by Ernest Hemingway 5/28/20

*****4. Chestnuts are always on the menu for New Year’s in Japan; they represent both success and hard-times – mastery and strength. Early Christians thought the chestnut represented chastity. Thanks to The Christmas Song, many people associate chestnuts with the holidays.
🍂 Read a book in which Christmas is celebrated OR read a book in which the author’s first and last initial may be found in any of the following words: “SUCCESS,” “HARD-TIMES,” “MASTERY,” “STRENGTH,” or “CHASTITY;” tell us which word you chose.- Mastery- All Quiet on the Western Front by Erich Maria Remarque-12/1/19

*****5. As mentioned above, chestnuts are mostly carbohydrate with very little fat or protein. Also unlike other nuts, chestnuts are a viable source of Vitamin C. A 3.5 oz. portion of chestnuts supplies 65% of the US recommended daily allowance of Vitamin C, giving this nut a valid reputation for helping to boost immunity.
🍂 Read a book by an author whose first and/or last name starts with “C;” be sure to use the author link in addition to the book title link OR read a book with two of the following page numbers in its total page count – 3, 5, 6; tell us how many pages.- The Zookeeper's Wife by Diane Ackerman 12/21/19- 368p.

*****6. You can chop, crumble, sauté or crush roasted chestnuts into almost any dish, including salads, muffins, pies and puddings, or simply enjoy fresh chestnuts raw for a nutritious snack similar in texture to a carrot.
🍂 Read a book marked “FOOD” or “FOODIE FICTION” on its main GoodReads page OR read a book with any type of food on its cover; remember to post the cover.- James and the Giant Peach by Roald Dahl

*****7. The Christmas Song, the one that made chestnuts so famous, was written in 1945 by Robert Wells and Mel Tormé. It was written during a blistering hot summer as an effort to cool off by thinking cool. The Nat King Cole Trio originally sang and recorded the song in 1946. NKC went on to re-record the song later in 1946 and in 1961, both versions accompanied by full orchestra. Broadcast Music, Inc. (BMI) reports The Christmas Song as being the most recorded holiday song and the original 1946 version was inducted into the Grammy Hall of Fame in 1974.
🍂 Read a book with a fireplace on its cover; post the cover OR read a book that takes place between 1946 and 1974 (inclusive); tell us when- 1960s California-The Crying of Lot 49 by Thomas Pynchon 12/3/19
