    CENTRE FOR NEWFOUNDLAND STUDIES TOTAL OF 10 PAGES ONLY MAY BE XEROXED (Without Author' s Permission) p CLASS ACTS: CULINARY TOURISM IN NEWFOUNDLAND AND LABRADOR by Holly Jeannine Everett A thesis submitted to the School of Graduate Studies in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Department of Folklore Memorial University of Newfoundland May 2005 St. John's Newfoundland ii Class Acts: Culinary Tourism in Newfoundland and Labrador Abstract This thesis, building on the conceptual framework outlined by folklorist Lucy Long, examines culinary tourism in the province of Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada. The data upon which the analysis rests was collected through participant observation as well as qualitative interviews and surveys. The first chapter consists of a brief overview of traditional foodways in Newfoundland and Labrador, as well as a summary of the current state of the tourism industry. As well, the methodology which underpins the study is presented. Chapter two examines the historical origins of culinary tourism and the development of the idea in the Canadian context. The chapter ends with a description of Newfoundland and Labrador's current culinary marketing campaign, "A Taste of Newfoundland and Labrador." With particular attention to folklore scholarship, the course of academic attention to foodways and tourism, both separately and in tandem, is documented in chapter three. The second part of the thesis consists of three case studies. Chapter four examines the uses of seal flipper pie in hegemonic discourse about the province and its culture. Fried foods, specifically fried fish, potatoes and cod tongues, provide the starting point for a discussion of changing attitudes toward food, health and the obligations of citizenry in chapter five.

  • Gordon Ramsay, a Konyha Fenegyereke
    Gordon Ramsay, a konyha fenegyereke Ha egy olyan vibráló, dinamikus, rutinos konyhaművész főz, mint Gordon Ramsay, gyorsan peregnek az események, ember legyen a talpán, aki a látottak alapján elkészíti az ételeket. Még szerencse, hogy ott a videó! Nemrég karácsonykor Gordon kétféle zseniális karácsonyi menüt készített, egy hagyományosat, és egy „alternatívat”. Utóbbi annyira megtetszett nekem, hogy elhatároztam, kipróbálom, és ezt ajánlom Önöknek is, ha majd itt az ideje! A receptek listája a cikk alján található. Névjegy: Gordon (James) Ramsay 1966 november 8-án született a skóciai Johnstone Renfrewshire- ben. Főszakács, médiaszemélyiség, étteremtulajdonos és szakíró, a A Brit Birodalom Érdemrendje kitüntetettje, több Michelin-csillag tulajdonosa. A Nem piskóta című könyvéből kiderül, hogyan lett egy nyomorban tengődő skót kissrácból akkora híresség, mint amilyenek a focisták vagy a filmsztárok: a szakács, akinek csúcsgasztronómiát képviselő étteremholdingja van, saját szakácsiskolával.Több mint 20 éttermével szerte a világban, New Yorktól a trianoni palotán át egészen Tokióig összesen 12 Michelin-csillagot szerzett. Ezzel, az étterembirodalommal rendelkező séfek között Ramsay a világon a harmadik, Joel Robuchon és Alain Ducasse után. Nagy-Britanniában jelenleg egyike annak a három szakácsnak, akik az éttermük színvonalát a legmagasabb, háromcsillagos szintre fejlesztették. Életútja Ötéves korában került Angliába. Egy lecsúszott brit család gyerekeként arról ábrándozott, hogy híres focista lesz, de egy térdsérülés következtében sportpályafutása megszakadt, és érdeklődése a főzés, a szállodaipar felé fordult. Az 1980-as évek késői szakaszában szakácssegédként dolgozott a Wroxton House Hotelben, majd a Wickham Arms konyháját üzemeltette, ahonnan távoznia kellett, mert összeszűrte a levet a tulajdonos feleségével. Ekkor Londonba költözött, ahol megfordult egy sor különböző konyhán, míg össze nem hozta a sors a temperamentumos Marco Pierre White-tal, aki a saját éttermébe, a Harveys-be hozta.

    Talent. Success. Leadership inspired TALENT . SUCCESS . LEADERSHIP FOREWORD Chair of the Judging Panel Mr Iqbal Wahhab OBE Thirty years ago my first job was as a trainee reporter for The Asian Times. Arif Ali, the publisher, was fond of saying that minorities in the UK had to have the right to be “as good, as bad and as indifferent as everyone else”. It’s fair to say that some in the British Bangladeshi community have in the past condemned themselves in the last two categories. But whilst our youngsters face big challenges with toxic combination of criminalisation and radicalisation, we do ourselves a disservice by not celebrating the increasing number of good news stories and successes we have amongst us. From the East End of London, Sabirul Islam chose to put his entrepreneurial skills to great use and over the last year has become a global brand. Also from the east end and also now on the international stage is former extremist Ed Husain The word “inspiration” in the title of who travels the world speaking to Ayesha and Abdal’s great project governments about how we need to needs a catalyst to trigger it and go about making the world a safer that involves mentoring.

  • CHAPTER-2 Charcutierie Introduction: Charcuterie (From Either the French Chair Cuite = Cooked Meat, Or the French Cuiseur De
    CHAPTER-2 Charcutierie Introduction: Charcuterie (from either the French chair cuite = cooked meat, or the French cuiseur de chair = cook of meat) is the branch of cooking devoted to prepared meat products such as sausage primarily from pork. The practice goes back to ancient times and can involve the chemical preservation of meats; it is also a means of using up various meat scraps. Hams, for instance, whether smoked, air-cured, salted, or treated by chemical means, are examples of charcuterie. The French word for a person who prepares charcuterie is charcutier , and that is generally translated into English as "pork butcher." This has led to the mistaken belief that charcuterie can only involve pork. The word refers to the products, particularly (but not limited to) pork specialties such as pâtés, roulades, galantines, crépinettes, etc., which are made and sold in a delicatessen-style shop, also called a charcuterie." SAUSAGE A simple definition of sausage would be ‘the coarse or finely comminuted (Comminuted means diced, ground, chopped, emulsified or otherwise reduced to minute particles by mechanical means) meat product prepared from one or more kind of meat or meat by-products, containing various amounts of water, usually seasoned and frequently cured .’ A sausage is a food usually made from ground meat , often pork , beef or veal , along with salt, spices and other flavouring and preserving agents filed into a casing traditionally made from intestine , but sometimes synthetic. Sausage making is a traditional food preservation technique. Sausages may be preserved by curing , drying (often in association with fermentation or culturing, which can contribute to preservation), smoking or freezing.
