Friggitello
''Friggitello'' (: ''friggitelli'') is a sweet Italian chili pepper of the species ''Capsicum annuum''. It is also known as the "Golden Greek pepper", "Sweet Italian pepper", or "Tuscan pepper". In the United States they may be called "pepperoncini"; they are quite distinct from Italian ''peperoncini'', which are hot Italian chili peppers. ''Friggitello'' is mild with a slight heat and a hint of bitterness, and is sometimes pickled and sold in jars. In Italy ''friggitello'' is most associated with the region of Tuscany. The Greek variety, which is sweeter, is commonly used elsewhere in Europe and the United States. Cultivation Like many other cultivars of ''Capsicum annuum'', ''friggitello'' requires a warm climate with a lot of sunlight and is not tolerant of frost. The seeds take 10 to 14 days to germinate, after which the plant will reach maturity in 70 to 80 days. It appreciates slightly rich and well-drained soils, but overfertilized soil will result in fewer fruits. The ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Peperoncino
''Peperoncino'' (; : ''peperoncini'') is the generic Italian name for hot chili peppers, specifically some regional cultivars of the species ''Capsicum annuum'' and '' C. frutescens'' (chili pepper and Tabasco pepper, respectively). The sweet pepper is called ''peperone'' (: ''peperoni'') in Italian. Like most peppers, the fruit is green or yellowish-green when young, and ripens to a red colour. History The ''peperoncino'' probably came to Italy around the 15th century, when southern Italy was under Spanish dominion. It was likely an export from the new world among other plants new to Europe, such as the tomato. Like the tomato, the ''peperoncino'' was first considered a decorative and possibly poisonous plant before it was adopted into Italian cuisine. It might have become popular as a food long before the cookbooks attest to its use; these cookbooks were written for the upper classes, while the ''peperoncino'' was a cheap and convenient food for the lower classes.

Pickling
Pickling is the process of food preservation, preserving or extending the shelf life of food by either Anaerobic organism, anaerobic fermentation (food), fermentation in brine or immersion in vinegar. The pickling procedure typically affects the food's texture and flavor. The resulting food is called a ''pickle'', or, if named, the name is prefaced with the word "pickled". Foods that are pickled include vegetables, fruits, mushrooms, meats, fish, dairy and eggs. Pickling solutions are typically highly acidic, with a pH of 4.6 or lower, and high in salt, preventing Enzyme, enzymes from working and micro-organisms from multiplying. Pickling can preserve Decomposition, perishable foods for months, or in some cases years. Antimicrobial herbs and spices, such as mustard seed, garlic, cinnamon or cloves, are often added. If the food contains sufficient moisture, a pickling brine may be produced simply by adding dry salt. For example, sauerkraut and Korean kimchi are produced by salti ...

Compote
Compote or compôte (French for ''stewed fruit'') is a dessert originating in medieval Europe, made of whole or pieces of fruit in sugar syrup. Whole fruits are cooked in water with sugar and spices. The syrup may be seasoned with vanilla, lemon or orange peel, cinnamon sticks or powder, cloves, other spices, ground almonds, grated coconut, candied fruit or raisins. The compote is served either warm or cold. History Compote conformed to the medieval belief that fruit cooked in sugar syrup balanced the effects of humidity on the body. The name is derived from the Latin word ''compositus'', meaning mixture. In late medieval England it was served at the beginning of the last course of a feast (or sometimes the second out of three courses), often accompanied by a creamy potage.Thomas Austin, ed. ''Two Fifteenth-Century Cookery-Books''. The Early English Text Society, New York, 1888 (reprinted 1964). During the Renaissance, it was served chilled at the end of dinner. Because i ...

The sandwich began as a portable, convenient food in the Western world, though over time it has become prevalent worldwide.
