Proprio oggi, giorno in cui esce il nostro giornale, e la giornata della FAIE. Comin­ ciamo, come ho gia spiegato nel numero passato, il nuovo Anno Sociale della Coinunita "' Italiana proprio con la Messa e con la preghiera. Anzi e un giorno dedicato anche alIa Madonna perche nelle Chiese si recita la Supplica alIa Vergine di Pompei. Con questa preghiera noi affidiamo a Dio tutti noi stessi; il nostro lavoro e it nostro riposo, la nostra gioia e il no.st:r? dqlore.ktntti JnostrLcarL•..E' .tutta._una-,preghiera -- -~ che sale verso -a-nia,che c.i trasforma e che, purificata dal dolore, ci aiuta· a incon­ trare gliuomini nell'amore di Dio. Non cred6checisianopensieri che valgono di piu nella vita. La ricerca affettuosa di una via comune che ci guida verso Dio attraverso il lavoro sociale, matura nella preghiera e nel dolore. I nostri occhi, la nostra mente, la nostra bocca ci devono servire per scoprire il bene che e nel nostro prossimo, per scoprire che quello che Dio fa, e fatto bene. 11 desiderio profondo di vedere il bene ovunque nasce dal nostro 1 umile desi~erio di avere la fede. Fede in Dio, fede negli uomini, fede in me stesso • perche sono fig1io di Dio. Per questo dobbiamo cercare di superare 10 scoglio del nostro egoismo; questa barriera che si pone tra noi e Dio e che ci spinge non a vedere ma addirittura a creare il male nel nostro prossimo. Tante volte io ci penso ed alcune volte e una cosa veramente desolante. Viviamo pochi anni, che passano pure in fretta e male; ma perche non ci aiutiamo, non allarghiamo il modo di vedere, di capire, di vivere. Quando saremO morti,.dopo un poco di tempo, a nessuno piu interessera se S1amo vissuti; quanto e molto piu importante quindi, in • certo senso, combattere per il bene, perche il bene da una spinta ~l mondo in avanti, mentre il male frena il cammino del mondo verso Dio. Quindi uno degli atteggiamenti, e forse il principale, che dobbiamo eliminare, e quello rappresentato dalla frase che spesso diciamo - "Con quello 11: non si PUQ lavorare", il che PUQ essere vero inizial­ mente, ma ci porta ad una maturita reciproca di accettazione e poi ·addiritura almeno di sostegno reciproco morale; perche e molto meglio trovare prima un comune desiderio di pace e poi passare all'azione. • • Sono questi i pensieri che mi sono venuti in testa per l~ Messa della FAIE e che 10 V1 done con tanto affetto, sperando che possono fare del bene .a~tu~t~.

So, it is propitious that former Swiss Ambas- sador to United States Dr. Martin Dahinden, who is a seasoned Swiss diplomat with exquisite tastes and a vast reservoir of knowledge and experience wrote a book Beyond Muesli and Fondue, which describes Swiss contributions to culinary history.

Ice turns into water then it is WARM – above 0 degrees. 150 years ago, Victoria was Queen of England. There were no fridges or freezers and ice melted. This man came to London from Switzerland to sell food. Can you find his name in the museum? Write it here: ……………………………………………………… He started off by selling hot chocolate but people wanted something cold in the summer – ice cream. He had a clever idea. Look at the display.

  • Lick It, Michael Petry, Catalogue Essay
    Lick it Most of us have seen a glass microscope slide, even if only on one of the many CSI television episodes, usually covered in blood, mucus, sperm or hair. Imagine licking it. Our recent ancestors did, or at least they licked similar licks of glass that carried on them the smallest taste of the precious substance that was ice cream. Imagine a hot day, and the cool sweet flavour on your tongue. You might be hanging from a strap in the over crowded, smelly and terribly hot London Underground, with your eyes closed thinking of refreshment, of exit, of cool. We still can’t afford a civilized mass transport system, so image only being able to afford a lick of ice cream, off a glass slide. Well that was your lot until the mass shipment of ice from places like Norway in the mid 1800’s allowed the general populace to have what only the upper classes and previously only the aristocracy was able to afford. It is said that the Chinese invented the idea of ice cream over a thousand years ago, and it took the Italians to make the leap to the addition of milk, but it took Agnes Marshall’s (the Heston Blumenthal of her day) edible ice cream cones in 1894 to make it an integral part of summer. Many flavours and styles have seen the population as a whole become addicted to it, and even Blumenthal’s bacon and eggs ice cream hasn’t stopped our desire to lick it. Before the invention of freezers, huge quantities of ice had to be stored underground or in ice houses.

Although new technology eventually allowed the production of artificial ice, natural ice retained a strong market position until World War I. This dissertation investigates the rise and fall of the Anglo-Norwegian ice trade, including the reasons behind the Norwegian success (comparative advantage, proximity to Britain and long-standing trade relations with Britain) and the rapid and persistent growth of British consumption of ice (high urbanisation, and growth of food-processing industries). Furthermore, it seeks to explain the continued use of natural ice long after the introduction of artificial ice and mechanical refrigeration. Seasonal aspects and supply shocks were instrumental in promoting technological change, but the diffusion of the new technologies varied across industries, and was affected by economic and social factors.
