Пудинг со снегом
Feb. 19th, 2022 05:29 pmСегодня Гугл Букс подкинул мне совершенно мазохистскую поваренную книгу - Hydropathic Cook Book. По накалу маразма она совершенно напоминает худшие образцы позднесоветского неосектантства, и примерно 80% от общего объема, если не больше, занимают псевдонаучные описания здорового питания. Но там попался один занятный рецепт, который грех не попробовать:
118. Snow pudding.
It is a singular fact that puddings may be made light with snow instead of eggs - a circumstance of some importance in the winter season, when eggs are dear and snow is cheap. Two large tablespoons are equivalent to one egg. The explanation is found in the fact that snow involves within its flakes a large amount of atmospheric air, which is set free as snow melts. This knowledge may be applied to any kind of pudding, as the two succeeding recipes will show.
119. Christmas Pudding
Mix together a pound and a quarter of wheaten flour or meal, half a pint of sweat cream, a pound of stoned raisins [по-видимому, чернослива, а не изюма], four ounces of currants [изюма], four ounces of potatoes, mashed, five ounces of brown sugar, and a gill [1/4 pint] of milk. When thoroughly worked together, add eight spoons of clean snow; diffuse it through mass as quick as possible; tie the pudding tightly in a bag previously wet in cold water, and boil for four hours.
120. Macaroni Snow Pudding
Take three ounces of macaroni, one pint of new milk, one gill [1/4 pint] cream, four [gills?] of brown sugar or molasses, and eight tablespoonfuls of snow. Simmer the macaroni in milk till well mixed; add the sugar and cream; then stir in the snow quickly and bake till lightly brown
Подозреваю, что с воздухом в снегу нас несколько обманывают, но чего же они хотели добиться?
