  • Greek Food As a Part of Cosmopolitan Cuisine in Food Campaign at Lidl Supermarkets
    ‘FROM TZATZIKI TO MAYIREFTA’ - GREEK FOOD AS A PART OF COSMOPOLITAN CUISINE IN FOOD CAMPAIGN AT LIDL SUPERMARKETS Magdalena Serafin, Akademia Ignatianum, Cracow, Poland INTRODUCTION Certain foods, especially traditional ones, are emblematic of the national identity. You identify yourself with others by consuming the same food, prepared and served in the same way. It is believed that culinary culture is also crucial to diasporic identifications. Food preparation, cooking and eating in diaspora plays important role not only connecting people of the same roots, but also in creating new cultural formations in a transnational world. Owing to immigrants national cuisine becomes available to global customers and dictates tastes to a new generation. Greek cuisine popular with Europeans, also take important role in that global food melting pot. But Greek cuisine recognition in Europe is not only due to diasporic effort put into promoting national food abroad but also owing to food tourism campaigns, Greek restaurants mushrooming in developing countries, and also new kind of policy incorporated in chain supermarkets. ‘Supermarket revolution’ has occurred in ‘new’ developing European countries since the early 1990s. At first it penetrated local food market but it was not enough so day after day globalized food tradition was emerging. ‘Lidl’ - one of famous chain markets in Poland has also taken part in it.

Within days after the family immigrated to Israel, the grandfather transferred his knowledge and techniques to his grandson, who founded Halva Kingdom. Over the years, Halva Kingdom became one of the most prominent and recognizable symbols of Jerusalem’s famous Mahane Yehuda Market. It became a main attraction for visitors from all over the world, who come to the market to enjoy the wide variety of flavors of our rich and unique Halva and Tahini. Our Products – All of our products are traditionally handmade, containing high quality sesame imported from Ethiopia, under conditions that maintain the quality of the sesame seeds, their freshness and their nutritional values.

A variety of very rich Halva & Tahini in different flavors are created by combining additional carefully selected ingredients. Nutritional Values Sesame Seeds are one of the oldest agricultural crops, and comprise many health benefits.

  • The European Market Potential for Sesame Seeds 1. Product Description
    The European market potential for sesame seeds Last updated: 17 November 2020 Sesame seeds are a typical import product that is indispensable for the bakery sector and ethnic foods in Europe. The mainstreaming of these ethnic foods and the increasing interest in vegan food contribute to a growing demand for sesame. Germany and Greece are currently the largest markets, but there is also potential for growth in countries such as Poland, France and Italy. Contents of this page 1. Product description 2. What makes Europe an interesting market for sesame seeds? 3. Which European countries offer most opportunities for sesame seeds? 4. Which trends offer opportunities on the European sesame seed market? 1. Product description Sesame seeds (scientific name: Sesamum indicum) are grown primarily for their use as a food ingredient. In Europe, sesame seeds are very common as a topping on bakery products such as bread, bagels and hamburger buns, and can be used in food preparations such as snacks, crackers, confectionery (sweets) and salads (seed, dressings and sauces). Restaurants, food manufacturers and consumers also purchase sesame seeds for use in food from various ethnic cuisines products like tahini, for example in hummus or baba ghanoush, sushi, Greek or Arabian pastry such as halva and Asian desserts. Sesame seeds are supplied by countries in Africa, Latin America and Asia. There are different types and qualities of sesame seeds.

  • Đeni Macan2 Traditional Foods in Rural Villages of the Central Dalmatian
    Neven Duvnjak1 – Đeni Macan2 Traditional foods in rural villages of the Central Dalmatian islands of Brač, Vis and Hvar (potential for the development of gastro-tourism?) DoI: 10.18030/socio.hu.2015en.61 ABSTRACT In this paper we research the presence of traditional forms of approach to food in rural villages of Dalmatian islands in the times when some of these forms are forgotten, but others have become gastronomic specialities crucial in offers to tourists. The topic of the research is perceptions which inhabitants of villages have of traditional diet as a cultural phenomenon, and how they experience the influence of processes of modernization and postmodernization on nourishment tradition. The theoretical framework assumes a developmental approach, which implies that the current eating needs are the products of a long lasting historical development that includes the presence of changes and periods of stability. Main eating practices (traditional, modern, and postmodern) we defined using content analysis of Dalmatian cook books. Analysis shows that traditional recipes are dedicated to domestic food, which has been prepared for a number of years in the same manner. Therefore, purchasing fresh food and every day cooking is recommended, including spending much time in preparing food. A key characteristic of modern nourishment is using industrially processed food, and postmodern nourishment is denoted by the openness to new foodstuffs and dishes with a tendency for experimenting. On the basis of notions defined in this way, we will determine the main characteristics of nourishment of rural villages: the look of daily meals, basic daily groceries, and dominant ways of food preparing.
