Mondeghili
Mondeghili (singular: ''mondeghilo''; also known as mondeghini) are meatballs typical of Milanese cuisine in the Italian region of Lombardy. The main ingredient of the dish is leftover meat, usually beef because of its popularity in Milan: the dish was developed to use up leftover cuts of beef. The meatballs are also enriched with sausage, raw salami, liver, mortadella and other pork. History The dish was created during the Spanish domination of the Duchy of Milan, between 1535 and 1706: the word "mondeghilo" (singular of ''mondeghili'', rarely used) is likely derived from the Spanish ''albóndiga'' (diminutive form: ''albondeguito'' or ''albondeghito'', meaning "little meatball"), which in turn originates from the Arab fried meatballs called ''al-bunduq''. The first attested recipe for ''mondeghili'' dates back to 1839. The mixture included potatoes (for sure not part of the older recipes, since its usage was uncommon in Milanese Cuisine before the 19th century), bread crum ...

Angelo Dubini
Angelo Dubini (8 December 1813 – 28 March 1902) was an Italian physician born in Milan. He earned his doctorate from the University of Pavia in 1837 and spent most of his professional career at the ''Ospedale Maggiore'' in Milan. In 1865 he became head physician and director of the hospital's dermatology department. Dubini is remembered for his discovery of an intestinal parasite he named '' Anchylostoma duodenale''. He first noticed the parasite in 1838 during an autopsy of a peasant woman who died of croupous pneumonia. He would rediscover the parasite in the course of other autopsies in ensuing years. In 1843 he published his findings in ''Annali universali di medicina''. The pathogenicity of the parasite was eventually confirmed by way of research of Egyptian chlorosis conducted by Wilhelm Griesinger, Theodor Maximilian Bilharz and Franz Ignaz Pruner, as well as in Otto Eduard Heinrich Wucherer's study of tropical chlorosis (which would probably be called iron deficie ...

Cuisine Of Lombardy
A cuisine is a style of cooking characterized by distinctive ingredients, techniques and dishes, and usually associated with a specific culture or geographic region. Regional food preparation techniques, customs, and ingredients combine to enable dishes unique to a region. A cuisine is partly determined by ingredients that are available locally or through trade.

Religious food laws can also exercise an influence on cuisine, such as Hinduism in Indian cuisine, Sikhism in Punjabi cuisine, Buddhism in East Asian cuisine, Christianity in European cuisine, Islam in Middle Eastern cuisine, and Judaism in Jewish and Israeli cuisine.

Butter
Butter is a dairy product made from the fat and protein components of churned cream. It is a semi-solid emulsion at room temperature, consisting of approximately 80% butterfat. It is used at room temperature as a spread, melted as a condiment, and used as a fat in baking, sauce-making, pan frying, and other cooking procedures. Most frequently made from cow's milk, butter can also be manufactured from the milk of other mammals, including sheep, goats, buffalo, and yaks. It is made by churning milk or cream to separate the fat globules from the buttermilk. Salt has been added to butter since antiquity to help to preserve it, particularly when being transported; salt may still play a preservation role but is less important today as the entire supply chain is usually refrigerated. In modern times salt may be added for its taste. Food colorings are sometimes added to butter. Rendering butter, removing the water and milk solids, produces clarified butter or ''ghee'', which is a ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Burger Patty
A patty or burger (in British English) is a flattened, usually round, serving of ground meat and/or legumes, grains, vegetables, or meat alternatives. Patties are found in multiple cuisines throughout the world. In British and American English, minced meat that is formed into a disc is called a burger, whether it is in a bread roll or not. The word “patty” is also used in American English but almost unknown in British English. The ingredients are compacted and shaped, usually cooked, and served in various ways. Some foods termed "patties" use ingredients inside a pastry crust that is then baked or fried. Some patties are breaded, then baked or fried. In London, since the late 1980s, the Jamaican patty, similar to the Cornish pastie, is a common food item. Etymology The term originated in the 17th century as an English alteration of the French word pâté. According to the OED, it is related to the word pasty, which is various ingredients encased in pastry. Termino ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Stale Bread
Staling, or "going stale", is a chemical and physical process in bread and similar foods that reduces their palatability - stale bread is dry and hard. Mechanism and effects Staling is not simply a drying-out process due to evaporation. One important mechanism is the migration of moisture from the starch granules into the interstitial spaces, degelatinizing the starch. The starch amylose and amylopectin molecules realign themselves causing recrystallisation. This results in stale bread's leathery, hard texture. Bread will stale even in a moist environment, and stales most rapidly at temperatures just above freezing. While bread that has been frozen when fresh may be thawed acceptably, bread stored in a refrigerator will have increased staling rates. Countermeasures Anti-staling agents used in modern bread include wheat gluten, enzymes, and glycerolipids, mainly monoglycerides and diglycerides. Culinary uses Many classic dishes rely upon otherwise unpalatable stale bread ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Rosetta (bread)
Michetta (''little crumb''; only used in Northern Italy) or Rosetta (''little rose'', used in the rest of the country) is an Italian white bread, recognizable by its bulged shape. History Michetta is a variation of the Austrian ''Kaisersemmel'' brought to Milan in the 19th century during the Austrian rule. Functionaries of the Austrian empire introduced a number of food products, including the '' Kaisersemmel'', a type of bread with segments resembling a small rose. However, due to the higher humidity, the michetta produced in Milan Milan ( , , Lombard: ; it, Milano ) is a city in northern Italy, capital of Lombardy, and the second-most populous city proper in Italy after Rome. The city proper has a population of about 1.4 million, while its metropolitan city h ... is made with a modified recipe, and only lasts one day.

Denominazione Comunale D'origine
The ''Denominazione comunale d'origine (De.CO)'', or ''Denominazione comunale (De.Co.)'', is an Italian recognition established and granted by the municipal administration in order to protect and enhance a typical product, a traditional recipe, an agri-food business or a craft product (food and non-food) in close correlation with the territory and its community, without any overlap with the designations of origin in force. The municipal designation of origin, unlike designations such as PDO, PGI and TSG, is not a quality indication, but a certificate of typicality. Description The De.Co. were established following state law no. 142 of 8 June 1990, which allows municipalities the right to regulate, within the scope of the principles on administrative decentralization, regarding the enhancement of traditional agri-food activities. Since 2002, they have normally been established using a model regulation prepared by National Association of Italian Municipalities. In some cases, for ...
