  • ACE's Scandinavian Sojourn
    ACE’s Scandinavian Sojourn : A Southerner’s Perspective Story by: Richard Bostic, assisted by Ronny Cook When I went on the ACEspana trip back in 2009, it was by far one of the most amazing vacations I have ever experienced. In addition to getting to visit parks in a different culture than we see here, it is also a great opportunity to spend time with fellow enthusiasts and grow friendships while enjoying our common interests. When Scandinavia Sojourn was announced for the summer of 2011, I knew it was a trip I could not miss. Since the 2009 trip was my first trip to Europe I thought that there was no way the over- all experience could be better in Scandinavia. I was wrong. We landed in Helsinki, Finland around 1300 the day before we were required to be at the hotel to meet with the group. Helsinki is an interesting city and fairly new compared to many cities in Europe. Walking around the city you can see the Russian influence in the city’s architecture. In fact, many movies during the cold war would use Helsinki to shoot scenes that are supposed to be set in the Soviet Union. After making our way to the Crowne Plaza Hotel and getting a quick lunch at the hotel restaurant we decided to spend the remaining time that afternoon checking out some of the sites around our hotel. Some of these sites included the Temppeliaukio Church inside of a rock formation, the train station, Routatientori Square and National Theater, and a couple of the city’s art museums.

  • By Gunther Hirschfelder, Manuel Trummer There Is Scarcely An
    by Gunther Hirschfelder, Manuel Trummer There is scarcely an aspect of daily cultural practice which illustrates the processes of transformation in European culture as clearly as daily nutrition. Indeed, securing the latter was essential for the daily fight for survival right up to the mid-19th century, with large sections of the population frequently being confronted with harvest failures and food shortages resulting from wars, extreme weather, pests, fire, changes in the agrarian order, and population growth. Consequently, food and drink were central both in daily life and in the celebration of feasts, and provided an opportunity for social differentiation. The hope for better nutrition was the pri- mary impetus for many migration processes and a canvas onto which desires were projected. The "Land of Cockaigne" motif, which can be traced from the Frenchman Fabliau de Coquaignes in the 13th century to Erich Kästner's (1899–1974) children's book "Der 35. Mai oder Konrad reitet in die Südsee" (1931), is a classic example of this. TABLE OF CONTENTS 1. Introduction 2. The End of Medieval Cuisine? 3.

  • An Investigation Into the Availability of Horsemeat in Belgium, France and the Netherlands
    An investigation into the availability of horsemeat in Belgium, France and the Netherlands October 2012 An investigation into the availability of horsemeat in Belgium, France and the Netherlands Introduction Each year, several hundred thousand tonnes of horsemeat are imported to the European Union, primarily from Canada, Mexico, Brazil, Argentina and Uruguay. This is in addition to the tens of thousands of horses that are slaughtered for human consumption within the EU itself. To gain greater insight into the European horsemeat market, Humane Society International (HSI) conducted a retail investigation in three EU Member States where horsemeat is commonly eaten, namely Belgium, France and the Netherlands. The fieldwork was conducted in June 2012. The aim of this study was to determine the availability and range of horsemeat and products containing horsemeat sold in these countries. It also sought to ascertain whether and what proportion of horsemeat products are labelled with information concerning the meat’s country of origin. Data concerning the price, weight and composition of the horsemeat products were also collected. Horsemeat production and trade in Belgium, France and the Netherlands The retail and consumption of horsemeat in Belgium, France and the Netherlands must be situated in the broader context of these three EU Member States’ involvement in the global horsemeat trade, both in terms of their role as major importers of horsemeat as well as the producers thereof. Each year, several thousand horses are slaughtered domestically in Belgium, France and the Netherlands. Not all of these animals have been necessarily raised in the country where they meet their end.
