  • The Foodie Files: Frankfurt
    THE FOODIE FILES FRANKFURT HEALTHY VERSUS HEARTY Fresh, homegrown flavours and rich food traditions factor in to spring cuisine in Frankfurt WORDS AND PHOTOS BY TARA NOLAN FRESH HERBS TO MAKE “GREEN SAUCE” AT THE KLEINMARKTHALLE he sun is shining, the birds are singing and despite my jetlagged haze, I decide to walk back to my hotel from the Palmengarten, a botanical garden in Frankfurt. I take a look at my paper map and T choose a route that soon leads me past a strawberry stand. I inhale the sweet scent of freshly picked berries. It won’t be strawberry season at home for another month and a half, but here, May yields seasonal produce, like strawberries, fresh herbs and asparagus, much sooner. Frankfurt is known as a financial hub (the European Central Bank is here) and is often merely a stopover en route somewhere else via its busy international airport. Much of the city’s architecture is fairly new—historic buildings can’t be found at every turn as they are in other European cities because much of Frankfurt had THE KONSTABLERWACHE FARMERS’ MARKET to be rebuilt after the Second World War. But what you will discover, and what surprised me, is a very green city—both in its green spaces and its dedication to sustainability. And if you’re looking for some history, you’ll be able to uncover bits of it by eating and drinking. The next morning, I meet my local tour guide, Mikael Horstmann (grandtourfrankfurt.de), at my hotel—the Steigenberger Frankfurter Hof (en.steigenberger.com)—and we head out on foot.

American as Apple Pie: Cultural Significance of American Baked Goods Madeline Jupina La Salle University Spring 2021 1 Introduction What does the phrase “American as apple pie” mean, really? How did apple pie become synonymous with Americana, the same way bagels became a symbol of the New York Jewish deli and funnel cakes associated with hot summer nights at the state fair? The culture behind food, especially baked goods, is often overlooked—but really, food is culture. Food tastes evolve over time, a product of the same slow and constant changes that evolve a culture: changes in values, new arrivals, status markers, and abundance or scarcity. These same cultural components shape what comes and goes, what stays, and what becomes so iconic that it becomes an American symbol (Visser, 1999). I have chosen four baked goods in particular: apple pie; Yum- Yum Cake, also known as Depression Cake; beignets; and bagels for their various intersections in American culture.

  • Calvados Is a Particular Distilled Apple And/Or Pear Cidre Made Only in Certain Recognized Areas, Primarily in the Calvados Department of Normandy, France
    Calvados is a particular distilled apple and/or pear cidre made only in certain recognized areas, primarily in the Calvados department of Normandy, France. Only the distilled CALVADOS cidre from these areas can be called Calvados. Calvados is divided into three further designations or Appellations d’Origine Contrôllée (AOC), which are special certifications distinguishing Calvados based on distinctive terroirs, the type of fruit used and the method of distillation. The three Calvados AOCs are AOC Calvados, AOC Calvados Pays D’Auge, and AOC Calvados Domfrontais.

  • Mapping Topographies in the Anglo and German Narratives of Joseph Conrad, Anna Seghers, James Joyce, and Uwe Johnson
    MAPPING TOPOGRAPHIES IN THE ANGLO AND GERMAN NARRATIVES OF JOSEPH CONRAD, ANNA SEGHERS, JAMES JOYCE, AND UWE JOHNSON DISSERTATION Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Kristy Rickards Boney, M.A. ***** The Ohio State University 2006 Dissertation Committee: Approved by: Professor Helen Fehervary, Advisor Professor John Davidson Professor Jessica Prinz Advisor Graduate Program in Professor Alexander Stephan Germanic Languages and Literatures Copyright by Kristy Rickards Boney 2006 ABSTRACT While the “space” of modernism is traditionally associated with the metropolis, this approach leaves unaddressed a significant body of work that stresses non-urban settings. Rather than simply assuming these spaces to be the opposite of the modern city, my project rejects the empty term space and instead examines topographies, literally meaning the writing of place. Less an examination of passive settings, the study of topography in modernism explores the action of creating spaces—either real or fictional which intersect with a variety of cultural, social, historical, and often political reverberations. The combination of charged elements coalesce and form a strong visual, corporeal, and sensory-filled topography that becomes integral to understanding not only the text and its importance beyond literary studies. My study pairs four modernists—two writing in German and two in English: Joseph Conrad and Anna Seghers and James Joyce and Uwe Johnson. All writers, having experienced displacement through exile, used topographies in their narratives to illustrate not only their understanding of history and humanity, but they also wrote narratives which concerned a larger global ii community.
