    Food & Wine June 2013 The Journal of The International Wine & Food Society Europe & Africa Committee Free to European & African Region Members - one per address - Issue 115 A Message from Mark Price - Waitrose MD Celebrating International Picnic Day The History of Cocktails © Brittany Ferries 1 CHAIRMAN’S MESSAGE Dear Members, Writing to you at three monthly intervals certainly brings home how quickly they pass. For Eve and me this period has seen relocation from our home of 39 years to something smaller, albeit within sight of the previous property. We were pleased to be able to find time to attend events of both the Manchester and the Merseyside & Mid-Cheshire branches, including their respective Annual General Meetings. I write this near the end of April and we are looking forward to attending a Liverpool branch event for the first time. Terry Lim and friends are to be congratulated on building that branch into a viable entity in a short space of time. Congratulations are also due to the Zurich branch for organising a very successful break in the Lake Maggiore area this April. That leads me to mention news of some other areas where prospects are being nurtured. Experience has taught us that a promising start is no guarantee of getting sufficient members for a provisional charter to be granted but Latvia and Athens are two possibilities. So also is Munster and in that connection, if you have friends who live in or around Cork who might be interested in joining a branch in that area then please pass details to Katie Wilkins (contact notes appear next to the Editorial) so that they can be notified of developments.

  • Scones Information Sheet
    SCONES INFORMATION SHEET DEFINITION HISTORY Small, round, bread-like baked product usually split in half and served Scones are believed to have originated in Scotland. Originally they were with butter, jam and cream as part of traditional morning or afternoon made from oats, shaped into a large round called a ‘bannock’, scored tea. A wide variety of sweet and savoury scones are made, including the into four to six triangles known as scones, and cooked on a griddle either popular flavours of cheese and sultana. Scones are known as biscuits in over an open fire or on top of the stove. the USA. The origin of the name ‘scone’ is unclear, with sources suggesting it may link to the Stone (Scone) of Destiny where Kings of Scotland were crowned. Others believe the name is derived from the Dutch word “schoonbrood” (“schoon” meaning clean and “brood” meaning bread), or from the German word “schonbrot” meaning ‘fine or beautiful bread’. With the invention of baking powder scones became the well leavened oven-baked product that they are today, quite different to the older griddle-cooked scones. Today, griddle scones are still listed as a variety of scone, only they are fried rather than baked. INGREDIENTS A quick bread, scones are made of wheat flour (white or wholemeal), sugar, baking powder, butter and milk. All the ingredients need to be measured carefully to avoid producing scones with a coarse or crumbly texture that don’t rise. Ingredient Function & specifications (*Based on flour content.) Flour A quality flour should be used. A combination of bread and cake flours are used by professional bakers while home bakers can choose biscuit or cake flour.
