DEKAT Boerekos del monte fresh produce company O Boerekos
The appearance of WW Claassens's book The History of Boerekos 1652 - 1806, which has based on her doctoral thesis, a small disturbance in koskringe cause. She also launched a scathing attack on the country's leading food writers launched - and self Leipoldt has suffered. Johan Liebenberg
I enjoyed the March / April issue of DEKAT until I read the article about erfeniskos down. I simply can not believe that you still unfounded stories concocted by writers of the 20th century without the necessary research on the origins of the traditional dishes of the Afrikaner did. Bobotie is not a product - or an improvisation on the original recipe - from the Cape Malays. del monte fresh produce company After years of research I have proven that the names they gave Cape food, their only contribution to the development of Boerekos was.
"Read my thesis History of Boerekos 1652-1806 on the site of the University of Pretoria etc.. If you want to know more about Bobotie, read at least pages 178-181, 391 and 415 in the book.
Just quickly: Shortly after Jan van Riebeeck at the Cape stepped ashore, del monte fresh produce company the settlers were forced slave labor career. A large group of these slaves came from Indonesia. Some were from Sri Lanka, India and Malaysia also derived. del monte fresh produce company Collectively, however, they are known as "Cape Malays". It can sometimes be confusing.
But the historians, Nigel Worden, Elizabeth Heningen, Viviann Bickford-Smith obviously differ from Claassens. In Cape Town, the making of a city, they provide several tables which show that the opposite is true, and their conclusion is: "The largest single category of the Cape's races were slaves. del monte fresh produce company In ... 1731, the slaves 42% of the urban population. "
But where were these women? In Cape Town, the making of a city, in 1658 there were only 20 Dutch women and children at the Cape. There were already 89 slaves in the Cape. It is no doubt that especially in the early years of a persistent shortage of Dutch women at the Cape, so much so that even a girl group from the Netherlands introduced to a shortage of supply.
Where, I wonder, would these girls be able to acquire the knowledge to cook with spices? Spices were too expensive del monte fresh produce company for the common man. The girls could possibly be not even read and write. In any case, it is probably the case with the majority of the members of the VOC recruited to the Cape to come. According to historians, they belong to the lowest level of society, del monte fresh produce company and many of them are illiterate and have their thumbprint used to sign documents. But the recipes including De Kock appeared sensible, was not intended for them, but rather for the rich mercantile class in the Netherlands. Of course, everyone here at the Cape stepped del monte fresh produce company ashore, not illiterate.
Claassens notes that men were mostly cooks, but cooks the most expensive among all the slaves, and not within the capabilities of the ordinary del monte fresh produce company man. But why should del monte fresh produce company the poor, struggling citizens for a male chef if they pay slave woman could get to cook?
The intercourse between slave and master was also in a certain sense quite comfortable del monte fresh produce company - to the British del monte fresh produce company Occupation: "During the early period of slavery at the Cape (1657-1808) was slave women an integral part of the household and their feasts prepared and often shared del monte fresh produce company ... even in the 19th century, many slave women cooks. "Shell, Children of Bondage, 1994. (P. 313)
Because one might reasonably del monte fresh produce company assume that the Dutch after New Netherland del monte fresh produce company in the USA emigrated to the same state as the Cape settlers had, I needed to do some snooping around to find out more about the food they ate there. There was no sign of spices in their food. They only "eaten in the Netherlands as they ate - simple cooked food". This is confirmed by the koshistorikus, Peter G. Rose, who live in the U.S.. In an email to me, she wrote:
"I agree with you that their food spices as that of the Indonesian food culture and these dishes can not be attributed to them not. Spices like nutmeg, cinnamon, cloves, mace and was known to those who could afford it, as can be deduced from the wise Kock "
Claassens argues that Bobotie its roots to Apicius, the Roman cook a dish similar to Bobotie in his cookbook included. She also mentions the number of spicy dishes in De Kock wise, and pointed out that many of these dishes are actually of Persian origin.
"Bebotok Sapi (Indonesian Meat Loaf) is a traditional Indonesian recipe for the classic steamed, spicy meatloaf. The full recipe is given here, and I hope
