Vegetable Marrow
A marrow is a fruit used as a vegetable, the mature fruit of certain '' Cucurbita pepo'' cultivars. The immature fruit of the same or similar cultivars is called '' courgette'' (in Britain, Iran, Ireland, France, the Netherlands, Singapore, Malaysia and New Zealand) or '' zucchini'' (in North America, Japan, Australia, the Czech Republic, Italy, Germany and Austria). Like courgettes, marrows are oblong, green squash, but marrows have a firm rind and a neutral flavour ("overgrown when picked and insipid when cooked"), making them useful as edible casings for mincemeat and other stuffings. They can be stored for several weeks after harvest (like pumpkins and other winter squash), to be processed for food when required. They are a vegetable used in Great Britain and areas with significant British influence, though their popularity is waning in favor of immature summer squash like courgette. Giant marrows are grown competitively in the United Kingdom, where the term "marrow" i ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Encyclopædia Metropolitana
''The Encyclopædia Metropolitana'' was an encyclopedic work published in London, from 1817 to 1845, by part publication. In all it came to quarto, 30 vols., having been issued in 59 parts (22,426 pages, 565 plates). Origins Initially the project was part of transitional arrangements in 1817 under which Samuel Taylor Coleridge moved publisher, from John Mathew Gutch to Rest Fenner, working with the Rev. Thomas Curtis. Coleridge was offered the role of editor; he wrote the Introduction, which appeared in January 1818, brought out to compete with the fifth edition of the ''Encyclopædia Britannica'' which had appeared in 1817 in 20 volumes. Fenner, however, dropped the publication after five part-volumes. The ''Encyclopædia Metropolitana'' was revived in 1820 by the intervention of Bishop William Howley, concerned also to compete with the ''Britannica'', in this case to counter its secular tendency. Howley brought in William Rowe Lyall to take charge. Lyall in turn appointed Edw ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
