Источник

Since starting with a sharp-flavored stab in the dark at the etymology of the phrase «in a pickle,» the Eat Your Words column has hummed along pretty nicely and covered a lot of ground, from the basics like bread and corn up to the wonkier heights of basil and arugula. But there are two biggies with interesting backstories that I’d feel remiss in missing before bouncing from Bon Appétit: food and meal.

First, food: As you might be able to guess from its long vowels and fuddy-duddy consonants (imagine Conan the Barbarian yelling it), it’s a word we picked up from the Germanic side of the language tree, as a North Sea modification of an old Germanic verb, fodjan, that meant «to feed.» Where «food» gets interesting, though, is in its wayback Proto-Indo-European roots, where it’s believed to come from the same root as the ancient Greek pateisthai («to feed»), Latin panis («bread») and pastor («shepherd,» though more literally, «feeder»), and with that words like «pasture,» «fodder,»and «foster.» There’s no epic mythology to a word so basic, and no considerable change throughout the English-speaking centuries (though until the 1300s, «meat» and «food» meant pretty much the same thing), but knowing that «food,» «bread,» and nurturing (à la nourriture) words like «foster» all come from the same root is the kind of historical rhyming that makes etymology worth noodling around with. And if you feel like getting real nerdy, you should read up on Grimm’s Law (as in one of the Brothers Grimm), the linguistic rule that explains how Latin and Greek words that start with a P ended up in German with an F (plus other interesting sound change stuff).

Now, it’s time for meal. Which itself originally just meant «time.» Even though the words have ended up sounding the same today, and seem to have to do with similar topics, the «meal» of a word like «cornmeal» and the «meal» that we sit down to at dinnertime each day ultimately come from a totally different word in Frisian, the language of the coastal Vikings who ended up invading England and inventing English. The ground-up-grain root is mele, and meant pretty much the same thing (ground-up grains). But the lunch/brunch/dinner root is mēl (with a long E, for you phonics heads out there), and even in its early days in English just meant «an occasion» or «a particular time.» Over the centuries, «meal» came to first mean that special occasion at which you sit down and eat, and then came to mean any eating session at all.

But going even further back, to languages like Old Swedish and Old Icelandic, it meant «time» more generally, or even just «measures» or «markings.» And in some even older Germanic languages like Gothic, the same word meant «writing.» And the OED thinks that it might ultimately be linked to the same root as the ancient Greek melas, meaning «black.»

Which, as a food writer on my last day, makes «meal» a pretty perfect last word. I could wax poetic about fading to black, food as language, and language as food, but by now, you probably get the picture. Bon appétit!

Food is any substance consumed by an organism for nutritional support. Food is usually of plant, animal, or fungal origin, and contains essential nutrients, such as carbohydrates, fats, proteins, vitamins, or minerals. The substance is ingested by an organism and assimilated by the organism’s cells to provide energy, maintain life, or stimulate growth. Different species of animals have different feeding behaviours that satisfy the needs of their metabolisms that have evolved to fill a specific ecological niche within specific geographical contexts.

Omnivorous humans are highly adaptable and have adapted to obtain food in many different ecosystems. The majority of the food energy required is supplied by the industrial food industry, which produces food with intensive agriculture and distributes it through complex food processing and food distribution systems. This system of conventional agriculture relies heavily on fossil fuels, which means that the food and agricultural system is one of the major contributors to climate change, accountable for as much as 37% of total greenhouse gas emissions.[1]

The food system has significant impacts on a wide range of other social and political issues including: sustainability, biological diversity, economics, population growth, water supply, and food security. Food safety and security are monitored by international agencies like the International Association for Food Protection, World Resources Institute, World Food Programme, Food and Agriculture Organization, and International Food Information Council.

Definition and classification

Food is any substance consumed to provide nutritional support and energy to an organism.[2][3] It can be raw, processed or formulated and is consumed orally by animals for growth, health or pleasure. Food is mainly composed of water, lipids, proteins and carbohydrates. Minerals (e.g. salts) and organic substances (e.g. vitamins) can also be found in food.[4] Plants, algae and some microorganisms use photosynthesis to make their own food molecules.[5] Water is found in many foods and has been defined as a food by itself.[6] Water and fiber have low energy densities, or calories, while fat is the most energy dense component.[3] Some inorganic (non-food) elements are also essential for plant and animal functioning.[7]

Human food can be classified in various ways, either by related content or by how the food is processed.[8] The number and composition of food groups can vary. Most systems include four basic groups that describe their origin and relative nutritional function: Vegetables and Fruit, Cereals and Bread, Dairy, and Meat.[9] Studies that look into diet quality group food into whole grains/cereals, refined grains/cereals, vegetables, fruits, nuts, legumes, eggs, dairy products, fish, red meat, processed meat, and sugar-sweetened beverages.[10][11][12] The Food and Agriculture Organization and World Health Organization use a system with nineteen food classifications: cereals, roots, pulses and nuts, milk, eggs, fish and shellfish, meat, insects, vegetables, fruits, fats and oils, sweets and sugars, spices and condiments, beverages, foods for nutritional uses, food additives, composite dishes and savoury snacks.[13]

Food sources

A typical aquatic food web

In a given ecosystem, food forms a web of interlocking chains with primary producers at the bottom and apex predators at the top.[14] Other aspects of the web include detrovores (that eat detritis) and decomposers (that break down dead organisms).[14] Primary producers include algae, plants, bacteria and protists that acquire their energy from sunlight.[15] Primary consumers are the herbivores that consume the plants, and secondary consumers are the carnivores that consume those herbivores. Some organisms, including most mammals and birds, diet consists of both animals and plants, and they are considered omnivores.[16] The chain ends with the apex predators, the animals that have no known predators in its ecosystem.[17] Humans are considered apex predators.[18]

Humans are omnivores, finding sustenance in vegetables, fruits, cooked meat, milk, eggs, mushrooms and seaweed.[16] Cereal grain is a staple food that provides more food energy worldwide than any other type of crop.[19] Corn (maize), wheat, and rice account for 87% of all grain production worldwide.[20][21][22] Just over half of the world’s crops are used to feed humans (55 percent), with 36 percent grown as animal feed and 9 percent for biofuels.[23] Fungi and bacteria are also used in the preparation of fermented foods like bread, wine, cheese and yogurt.[24]

Sunlight and soil

Photosynthesis is the ultimate source of energy and food for nearly all life on earth.[25] It is the main food source for plants, algae and certain bacteria.[26] Without this, all organisms which depend on these organisms further up the food chain would be unable to exist, from coral to lions.[27] Energy from the sun is absorbed and used to transform water and carbon dioxide in the air or soil into oxygen and glucose. The oxygen is then released, and the glucose stored as an energy reserve.[28]

Plants also absorb important nutrients and minerals from the air, water and soil.[29] Carbon, oxygen and hydrogen are absorbed from the air or water and are the basic nutrients needed for plant survival.[30] The three main nutrients absorbed from the soil for plant growth are nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium, with other important nutrients including calcium, sulfur, magnesium, iron boron, chlorine, manganese, zinc, copper molybdenum and nickel.[30]

Plants

Plants as a food source are divided into seeds, fruits, vegetables, legumes, grains and nuts.[31] Where plants fall within these categories can vary, with botanically described fruits such as the tomato, squash, pepper and eggplant or seeds like peas commonly considered vegetables.[32] Food is a fruit if the part eaten is derived from the reproductive tissue, so seeds, nuts and grains are technically fruit.[33][34] From a culinary perspective, fruits are generally considered the remains of botanically described fruits after grains, nuts, seeds and fruits used as vegetables are removed.[35] Grains can be defined as seeds that humans eat or harvest, with cereal grains (oats, wheat, rice, corn, barley, rye, sorghum and millet) belonging to the Poaceae (grass) family[36] and pulses coming from the Fabaceae (legume) family.[37] Whole grains are foods that contain all the elements of the original seed (bran, germ, and endosperm).[38] Nuts are dry fruits, distinguishable by their woody shell.[35]

Fleshy fruits (distinguishable from dry fruits like grain, seeds and nuts) can be further classified as stone fruits (cherries and peaches), pome fruits (apples, pears), berries (blackberry, strawberry), citrus (oranges, lemon), melons (watermelon, cantaloupe), Mediterranean fruits (grapes, fig), tropical fruits (banana, pineapple).[35] Vegetables refer to any other part of the plant that can be eaten, including roots, stems, leaves, flowers, bark or the entire plant itself.[39] These include root vegetables (potatoes and carrots), bulbs (onion family), flowers (cauliflower and broccoli), leaf vegetables (spinach and lettuce) and stem vegetables (celery and asparagus).[40][39]

Plants have high carbohydrate, protein and lipid content, with carbohydrates mainly in the form of starch, fructose, glucose and other sugars.[31] Most vitamins are found from plant sources, with exceptions of vitamin D and vitamin B12. Minerals are also plentiful, although the presence of phytates can prevent their release.[31] Fruit can consist of up to 90% water, contain high levels of simple sugars that contribute to their sweet taste, and have a high vitamin C content.[31][35] Compared to fleshy fruit (excepting Bananas) vegetables are high in starch,[41] potassium, dietary fiber, folate and vitamins and low in fat and calories.[42] Grains are more starch based[31] and nuts have a high protein, fibre, vitamin E and B content.[35] Seeds are a good source of food for animals because they are abundant and contain fibre and healthful fats, such as omega-3 fats.[43][44]

Animals that only eat plants are called herbivores, with those that mostly just eat fruits known as frugivores,[45] leaves, while shoot eaters are folivores (pandas) and wood eaters termed xylophages (termites).[46] Frugivores include a diverse range of species from annelids to elephants, chimpanzees and many birds.[47][48][49] About 182 fish consume seeds or fruit.[50] Animals (domesticated and wild) use as many types of grasses that have adapted to different locations as their main source of nutrients.[51]

Humans only eat about 200 out of the worlds 400 000 plant species, despite at least half of them being edible.[52] Most human plant-based food comes from maize, rice, and wheat.[52] Plants can be processed into breads, pasta, cereals, juices and jams or raw ingredients such as sugar, herbs, spices and oils can be extracted.[31] Oilseeds are pressed to produce rich oils—⁣sunflower, flaxseed, rapeseed (including canola oil) and sesame.[53]

Many plants and animals have coevolved in such a way that the fruit is a good source of nutrition to the animal who then excretes the seeds some distance away, allowing greater dispersal.[54] Even seed predation can be mutually beneficial, as some seeds can survive the digestion process.[55][56] Insects are major eaters of seeds,[43] with ants being the only real seed dispersers.[57] Birds, although being major dispersers,[58] only rarely eat seeds as a source of food and can be identified by their thick beak that is used to crack open the seed coat.[59] Mammals eat a more diverse range of seeds, as they are able to crush harder and larger seeds with their teeth.[60]

Animals

Animals are used as food either directly or indirectly. This includes meat, eggs, shellfish and dairy products like milk and cheese.[61] They are an important source of protein and are considered complete proteins for human consumption as they contain all the essential amino acids that the human body needs.[62] One 4-ounce (110 g) steak, chicken breast or pork chop contains about 30 grams of protein. One large egg has 7 grams of protein. A 4-ounce (110 g) serving of cheese has about 15 grams of protein. And 1 cup of milk has about 8 grams of protein.[62] Other nutrients found in animal products include calories, fat, essential vitamins (including B12) and minerals (including zinc, iron, calcium, magnesium).[62]

Food products produced by animals include milk produced by mammary glands, which in many cultures is drunk or processed into dairy products (cheese, butter, etc.). Eggs laid by birds and other animals are eaten and bees produce honey, a reduced nectar from flowers that is used as a popular sweetener in many cultures. Some cultures consume blood, such as in blood sausage, as a thickener for sauces, or in a cured, salted form for times of food scarcity, and others use blood in stews such as jugged hare.[63]

Taste

Animals, specifically humans, typically have five different types of tastes: sweet, sour, salty, bitter, and umami. The differing tastes are important for distinguishing between foods that are nutritionally beneficial and those which may contain harmful toxins.[64] As animals have evolved, the tastes that provide the most energy are the most pleasant to eat while others are not enjoyable,[65] although humans in particular can acquire a preference for some substances which are initially unenjoyable.[64] Water, while important for survival, has no taste.[66]

Catfish have millions of taste buds covering their entire body

Sweetness is almost always caused by a type of simple sugar such as glucose or fructose, or disaccharides such as sucrose, a molecule combining glucose and fructose.[67] Sourness is caused by acids, such as vinegar in alcoholic beverages. Sour foods include citrus, specifically lemons and limes. Sour is evolutionarily significant as it can signal a food that may have gone rancid due to bacteria.[68] Saltiness is the taste of alkali metal ions such as sodium and potassium. It is found in almost every food in low to moderate proportions to enhance flavor. Bitter taste is a sensation considered unpleasant characterised by having a sharp, pungent taste. Unsweetened dark chocolate, caffeine, lemon rind, and some types of fruit are known to be bitter. Umami, commonly described as savory, is a marker of proteins and characteristic of broths and cooked meats.[69] Foods that have a strong umami flavor include cheese, meat and mushrooms.[70]

While most animals taste buds are located in their mouth, some insects taste receptors are located on their legs and some fish have taste buds along their entire body.[71][72] Dogs, cats and birds have relatively few taste buds (chickens have about 30),[73] adult humans have between 2000 and 4000,[74] while catfish can have more than a million.[72] Herbivores generally have more than carnivores as they need to tell which plants may be poisonous.[73] Not all mammals share the same tastes: some rodents can taste starch, cats cannot taste sweetness, and several carnivores (including hyenas, dolphins, and sea lions) have lost the ability to sense up to four of the five taste modalities found in humans.[75]

Digestion

Food is broken into nutrient components through digestive process.[76] Proper digestion consists of mechanical processes (chewing, peristalsis) and chemical processes (digestive enzymes and microorganisms).[77][78] The digestive systems of herbivores and carnivores are very different as plant matter is harder to digest. Carnivores mouths are designed for tearing and biting compared to the grinding action found in herbivores.[79] Herbivores however have comparatively longer digestive tracts and larger stomachs to aid in digesting the cellulose in plants.[80][81]

One of my college history professors once claimed that the reason there is no English word that rhymes with orange is that it is one of the few words derived from Persian. He was only partly right; according to the Dictionary of Word Origins, by John Ayto, the word entered our language in the 14th century from the French, who got it from the Spanish naranj (now naranja). The Spanish word was a variation of an Arabic word, which was itself an adaptation of a Persian word. But the word’s origin is in northern India, from Sanskrit.

The etymology of words, especially food words, is fascinating for what it can tell you about how a food was introduced to English (and American) palates. Of course, many food names, like foie gras and pad thai (which, according to my dictionary, first appeared in English in 1818 and 1978, respectively), enter our language unaltered from their original sources. But many more have interesting histories. I spent hours leafing through Ayto’s book. (He also compiled the Glutton’s Glossary, all about the origins of food words, which is on my to-read list). There’s too much to cover in one post, so I’ll focus on fruit words for now and turn to other foods in a future post.

Orange, the fruit, actually had an even longer journey than its name. The earliest oranges grew wild in China, and were probably cultivated as early as 2500 B.C. By the time the word entered English, orange groves had been a common feature of Spain and Portugal for centuries, having been introduced by the Moors. Christopher Columbus brought citrus seeds to North America (specifically, to Hispaniola, the island that is now Haiti and the Dominican Republic) on his second voyage, in 1493.

The peach took a similar path. According to Ayto, its original Latin name, malum persicum, meant «‘Persian apple,’ reflecting the fact that the peach, a native of China, first became widely known in Europe when it reached Persia on its westward journey.» Like «orange,» «peach» entered English in the 14th century, following a stop in Old French.

Not all fruits originated in Asia: «Plum» and «prune» both come from the Greek proumnon, via Latin. Although plums also grew in China, European varieties were discovered as early as 2,000 years ago around the Caspian Sea. «Berry» has Germanic origins, and «fruit» comes from Latin.

«Banana» has a more exotic past. It entered the language in the 16th century from a West African language, possibly Wolof, which is spoken in Senegal and Gambia. After Spanish and Portuguese explorers encountered bananas, they passed both the fruit and the name along to England.

Interestingly, «apple» originally referred to any fruit when it emerged from Old English in the 12th century (its origins are a little hazy, though it is similar to the fruit’s name in other languages, including the German Apfel and the Dutch appel). According to the Online Etymology Dictionary, this may be the reason we now associate apples with the story of Adam and Eve, since the book of Genesis left the name of the «fruit of the forbidden tree» unnamed.

One of my favorite bits of trivia is about the origins of pineapple, which doesn’t sound very tasty if you think about it. Before the fruit was discovered, «pineapple» referred to pine-cones, Ayto writes, «but in the mid-17th century the name was transferred to the tropical plant whose juicy yellow-fleshed fruit was held to resemble a pine-cone.» Suddenly it all makes sense.

The Fruit of Australia

The fruit of Australia has been eaten by people of all races for thousands of years, but they have only recently been recognized for their taste. Many are considered to have similar qualities to spices for use in cooking and preserves. Australian fruits have high levels of vitamins C and other vitamins.

Food and Environment

Food is a substance that is consumed to provide sustenance to animal. Food is usually of plant, animal or fungi origin and contains essential vitamins, minerals, and sugars. The substance is absorbed by the cells of the organisms to provide energy, maintain life, or grow.

Different species of animals have different feeding habits that are adapted to fill a specific ecological niche. Humans are very Adaptivist and have adapted to many different environments. Humans have used two main methods to get food in the past.

Humans settled into agriculture lifestyles with diet shaped by agriculture opportunities in their geography. A wide array of ingredients, herbs, spices, techniques and dishes have been created due to geographic and cultural differences. As cultures have mixed through forces like international trade and globalization, ingredients have become more widely available beyond their geographic and cultural origins, creating a cosmopolitan exchange of different food traditions and practices.

Mushroom are some of the foods that are not from animal or plant sources. The preparation of leavened bread, alcoholic drinks, cheese, and pickles are made using the use of Fungi and ambientbacteria. Another example is blue-green algae.

Salt, baking soda and cream of tartar are inorganic substances that can be used to alter an ingredient. Some cultures and people do not eat meat or animal food products for cultural, ethical, or ideological reasons. Some people forgo food from animal sources.

The International Treaty on Plant Genetic Resources for Food and Agriculture

The authors had shown that national diet have adopted new crops and become more and more alike around the world. The new study shows that the crops are mostly foreign. The Fertile Crescent is the center of diversity for wheat and barley.

The origins of the Thai chilies and Italian tomatoes are unknown. The United States depends on crops from the Mediterranean and West Asia for its diet. The U.S. farm economy is centered on crops from East Asia, Mexico, and Central America, as well as wheat and other crops from the Mediterranean.

The U.S. is the origin of sunflowers, which are grown in Argentina, China, and other countries. The International Treaty on Plant Genetic Resources for Food and Agriculture is supposed to ensure that countries have the plant diversity they need to develop new varieties. Fowler says that most countries are not providing the «facilitated access» promised by the treaty.

Food Labels

Food Additives can be used to improve the appearance of a food or improve the flavour. They must be used in the lowest amount possible. Food labels are important for people with food allergies.

Mexic Cuisine

Mexico has a rich heritage and culture and the food is part of it. Mexican food is a variety and the recipe for each one varies. Many people enjoy Mexican food such as chilaquiles, taco, and guacamole, and it’s very popular around the world.

The fried masa base is usually topped with red or green salsa, potato, onions, cilantro, and different types of meat. In Mexico City, huaraches are the most popular of all the Mexican foods. huaraches are usually stuffed with mashed beans and are flat, but sopes are more circular and have a mirror of watery mashed beans.

Sopes are smaller than huaraches. 2. Add the oil to the pan, which should be six ounces.

The muscle cut of a commodity

The allowance to commingle muscle cut covered commodities of different origins was eliminated by the final rule. The place of birth, raising, and slaughter of the animal from which the meat is derived are required to be included in all origin designations. Consumers will be given more specific information which to base their purchasing decisions if the commingling allowance is removed. The practice of cutting muscle cuts of meat is no longer allowed because it can result in potentially misleading labels.

The Southern biscuit

The Southern biscuit is a soft leavened bread, highly perishable, and completely misnamed, at least by etiological standards, being definitely not twice-baked, which is why no discussion of the word biscuit can fail to mention it.

A Recipe for Kanafeh

It can be layers with many other ingredients such as nuts or clotted cream, but the choice of layer varies with the region where the Kanafeh is being prepared. Kanafeh is very popular in the Arab world, especially in Egypt and the Levant. There are different variations in Greece, Turkey, the Balkans and South Caucasus.

The dessert is made from a mixture of two different types of cheese. The people in Jordan like to spread a mixture of nuts and almonds. Kanafeh is eaten in many households and is a weekly tradition.

Time to eat

Time to eat! Foods that were once prepared in countries on the other side of the world are now prepared all over the world. Take something like sushi.

Bar Codes

Most of us don’t think about bar codes. If you look in your pantry or fridge right now, you will see that a lot of the packages have a bar code printed on them. Almost every item you buy in a grocery shop, supermarket or superstore has a bar code on it.
