This ugly it is I who say so, but this is a very timely post. Lately we have some forgotten the product, product, product. In fact, I think the last time we discussed the issue of product product, the product was several months ago when it comes to offal. To rectify this omission, today we bring to our sites an interesting theme: peanuts, product, product, product often overlooked by gourmets boastful and arrogant, more supporters of cashews and macadamia nuts, which, however, are delicious. Natives of America were imported to Europe by English conquistadors and since then we have entertained many Sunday afternoons. Beer, football and peanuts. Although Wikipe day says it is a legume, the peanut is a nut the whole life of God. A nut such as almonds, nut or pinion. Such as pistachio and sunflower seeds. A nut as the crown of a pine. is convenient to start explaining these things, but once the mistake and waste before starting to walk the trails of the Peanut unusual, let's dwell on some semantic issues that are of great importance, is that the word is a mess. In Mexico they call peanuts (Guatemalan !, Put me some peanuts! "Holden asked, with that accent that has Chamberí mariachi, when it comes to visit home.) In Spain it is normal peanuts (plural: peanuts), but as the Catalans say peanut, for English speakers Catalonia, by mimicry, cacahua speak as fatal handled with words ending in "t", and therefore have a hard time saying " Generalitat", "peanut " and "Athletic Madrit " . The plural of cacahua cacahua or cacahueses may be, who knows, but I'm more of cacahueses, a term which I find much more euphonious than cacahua. As many people have the habit of writing the words as spoken, not lack in our country shops that sell nuts cacagüetes, a word that is costing me forever to write because Automatic spell the damn Microsoft Word . With less of a problem s the Uncle Eulogio wrote on the board of foosball located on Calle Juan Carlos I of the town of Cebreros Avila: " Here is wary. There cacagüetes and meringue. "
many people in Madrid called alcahueses, probably due to foreign linguistic influences that come to demonstrate that the locals have always been a little johns. Suspicions are not spared the inhabitants of other lands near the capital of Castile, who, when approaching a bar, ask to go with the cane " a plate of pimps. " If we cross Despeñaperros, things began to unravel again, and Cadiz, and not tell them. The Cadiz never had the habit of calling things by their name. In Cadiz, for instance, tell the port dock. If you ask a taxi driver in Cadiz: "- Where we go, boss? ", and what you want is getting closer to some relatives who are cruising on the Queen Elizabeth , do not ever answer: " - Take me to the port "because if it does I can assure you, no any doubt that you will end up in El Puerto de Santa Maria Cadiz watching from the other Across the bay. If someone sends you to the bull ring, you will see no corrida, p ero most probably end up eating some pickles topped with peanuts in the Lumen restaurant, near the Plaza Hasdrubal. Things of Cadiz. In Cadiz, a wagon is a butches, a miarma is a Seville, and a pea is a pea. A note is a silly ass, a cock is a friend, and a yellow is a bus to Sanlúcar de Barrameda. In Cadiz, a stew is a stew, a SIESO is a chuflas and cañailla is any animal, vegetable or mineral that comes from San Fernando. Jarte is a puna, a straight is a malencarao and is carajote note, but more silly still, those who prefer to take a bite of chop rather than a pot of potatoes with shrimp. After all these examples true and sincere you will understand that it is impossible for Cadiz call peanuts peanuts. Peanut in Cadiz tells Hazel. But as in this way are mixed with hazelnuts peanuts really, these are called "bulls hazelnuts," because it usually started to consume both cheeks as he left the bullpen the first of the afternoon, those distant years in which there bullring in Cadiz, right in the lot that is located in the Plaza Asdrubal, near the restaurant Lumen.
In Cuba and other countries of Latin America is called peanut peanut:
" Maniiiiiiiiií.
Tonight I will not be able to sleep
not eat a bag of peanuts "
This bolero has been interpreted by many singers. The Xavier Cugat Orchestra in the forties, his concerts often included in a melodic version of it. Judy Garland was singing in the George Cukor film A star is born . Julio Iglesias also incorporated it into his repertoire to make your own with this song. But I always identify with Antonio Machin. I remember very well because this man always sang the same songs, started with Two gardenias for you , song with a very large debt of gratitude to all the florists in the Hispanic world, was still The manisero and ended with Black Angels , spiritual and kind allegation reminiscent of the painters specializing in religious affairs the important role they could play, they also, in the fight against racial discrimination. The orchestra d Rafael irigía teacher Ibarbia . Canarian people call to peanuts shelled peanuts. In Madrid (and do not know if in other parts of Spain) when they are roasted and salted are called jobfish and sold in stores of nuts and some churros. They are very nice to eat, nothing to do with the undigested kikos, noisy, greasy, fundamentalist and sectarian, unworthy to share the happy jobfish bag. The kikos never liked me. Either alone or in combination with other nuts. In general, I am not fond of these bags (or cans) that sold in supermarkets that contain different ingredients mixed (cocktail, they are called), because if I chew an almond, I apetecerá meet a hazelnut, with a raisin and much less with a kiko. In some pockets (or cans) of mixed drinks, including mixed with other shelled nuts in the shell, which I think a lot, man!, Which is a jobfish chewing absentmindedly while thinking their lights and shadows of Casa Manteca and suddenly finds that the shell of a pistachio has skipped a tooth filling.
My grandmother did it for Christmas a jobfish nougat. I would if I knew the recipe. Also shopping at the commissary chocolate nougat tablets with nuts, which were basically peanuts. Peanuts are cheaper than almonds and mix well with chocolate. Proof of this are the conguitos. My cousin Luisito was completely hooked on conguitos. Every day when he got home he sat watching TV with several bags of conguitos and not get up until they are all finished. She did not put an A world for them, Charlie's Angels or news. I do not know where he got the dough to buy both conguito, but the fact is that once had serious addiction problems. It was his escape, the only thing that rescued their moments of anguish and anxiety. Pobre Luisito! Now in the hundred and twenty kilos.
But enough of family stories. Peanuts also have a place in haute cuisine. I think Ferrán Adrià served on the menu this year some peanuts mimetics. Not sure, I'm not greedy. Those who have tried say they are not peanuts, but they seem to peanuts because they are made of peanuts. Okay, so El Bulli. Pedro Subijana tasting menu served in an ice cream of foie accompanied by a peanut sponge. In Lua (a restaurant highly recommended, BTW) once ate sea bass with vegetables, corn soup and peanut butter. And speaking of soup, peanut soup, inheritance African, is typical of the southern states of America.
And in the United States eat too many peanuts. In old Hollywood movies, when someone was looking for something to eat in the fridge first thing was it was the peanut butter. One of the most important comic strips of the twentieth century called Peanuts, and there is a good example of great songs featuring peanuts. I tell them. Dizzy Gillespie was a great American jazz trumpeter boosted bebop, with Charlie Parker . Bebop is a style jazzíztico which meant an early break points with music swing characteristic of the Big Bands . In the forties, the swing was staying rooted in rhythms that seem to repeat over and over again, unable to evolve. When it seemed that he had been squeezed to the maximum, appeared bebop. His birth was motivated, like many things in life, by a happy coincidence. In Harlem there was a club on 118th Street called Minton's Playhouse . The club was located on the first floor of the Hotel Cecil and ran a man named Teddy Hill, who had the idea to open the doors of its premises at the time that the other clubs in New York closed theirs. The club began to be frequented by jazz musicians who had previously acted in swing rooms scattered throughout the city, and that went to Minton's because there had the opportunity to unleash their creativity in endless jam sessions. In these informal sessions, with the help of Dizzy Gillespie, bebop was born (the origin of the word is not very clear, when Charlie Parker was asked about the issue, said the bebop word sounded like a police baton hitting against a black head, but I guess it would be a joke). Bebop style soon began to succeed, mainly due to a quintet that performed in jazz rooms in the street 52, and was formed by Dizzy Gillespie (trumpet), Charlie Parker (sax), Al Haig (piano), Curley Russell (bass) and Stan Levy (drums). Almost nothing.
Well, one of the most characteristic songs of the new style is called Salt Peanuts and was composed by Dizzy Gillespie in 1942. Salted peanuts. Who wants to listen to click here.
