“This root [the potato], no matter how much you prepare it, is tasteless and floury. It cannot pass for an agreeable food, but it supplies a food sufficiently abundant and sufficiently healthy for men who ask only to sustain themselves. The potato is criticised with reason for being windy, but what matters windiness for the vigorous organisims of peasants and labourers?” |
| Denis Diderot (1713-1784) L'Encyclopedie (1751-1772) |
Always eat grapes downward - that is eat the best grapes first; in this way there will be none better left on the bunch, and each grape will seem good down to the last. If you eat the other way, you will not have a good grape in the lot. |

The greatest delight the fields and woods minister is the suggestion of an occult relation between man and the vegetable. I am not alone and unacknowledged. They nod to me and I to them. |

Food Tip |
Mix all A ingredients thoroughly in a bowl to form filling for buns.
Mix dry yeast with water and add to flour. Add other B ingredients
and knead into a soft dough. After dough is well kneaded, place in
floured bowl and cover. Allow dough to rise for 1 hour in a warm
place. When dough has risen, knead it again on a flour-sprinkled
board and roll it into a long sausage. Cut sausage into 1-inch
lengths, flatten these pieces, and roll each out to the size of a
saucer to form wrapping. Put 1 tablespoon of filling in center of
each wrapping, flute edges of wrapping, bring egdes together to form
a sack, and seal by giving a slight twist and pinching with thumb and
forefinger. Place buns in steamer rack on a wet cloth and steam for
15 to 20 minutes. Note: Leftover buns may be served after reheating,
either by steaming or frying. The filling (A) may also be fried to
produce an altogether different and delightful flavor. Source; Mrs.
