Hot Cross Buns

NYC Building Code | Kitchens

These are spiced sweet buns, typically studded with raisins or currants and marked with a cross on top. Their origins trace to pre-Christian pagan traditions, where ancient peoples (including Saxons honoring the goddess Eostre) baked crossed buns for spring festivals symbolizing rebirth and the moon’s quarters. In Christian tradition, an English monk at St. Albans Abbey is credited with baking spiced buns marked with a cross on Good Friday in 1361, distributing them to the poor.

The cross represents Jesus’ crucifixion, while spices evoke the embalming spices used on his body. Buns became linked to breaking the Lenten fast. In Tudor England, their sale was restricted except on Good Friday, Christmas, and funerals. Today, they are enjoyed worldwide during Easter as a symbol of faith, renewal, and the end of Lent.

Fish and Chips and the British Working Class

“Fish and Chips” | Fred Laidler (1918–1988)

Fish and Chips and the British Working Class, 1870-1930

“Fish and chips was in many ways the pioneer fast-food industry.  It became an essential component of working-class diet and popular culture in parts of London, and over wide areas of industrial midland and northern England and southern Scotland, in the early decades of the twentieth century…I propose to argue that the fish and chip trade was not only important enough in itself to justify sustained historical analysis, but also that it provides a useful vantage point for examining important changes in British society more generally.”

— John Walken, 1998, Journal of Social History

Mothering Sunday

Observed the fourth Sunday of Lent, known as Laetare Sunday, a day when the strict fasting rules of Lent are traditionally relaxed.  The name referred to the practice of returning to one’s “mother church”—the main church or cathedral of the region—for a special service. Over time, this evolved into a day when people, especially young servants and apprentices working away from home, were given time off to visit their families and attend their home parish church and sharing Simnel Cake.

Maple Nut Latte

Standards Vermont | Campus Plan 2022-2032

Annual 2023 Net Position Statement: $774,788,000 (Page 15)

Ingredients:

2 shots espresso (or ½ cup strong brewed coffee)
1 cup milk (dairy or non-dairy like almond, oat, or cashew)
2 tbsp maple syrup (adjust to taste)
¼ tsp vanilla extract (optional)
¼ tsp nut extract (hazelnut, walnut, or almond)
Whipped cream (optional, for topping)
Chopped nuts or nutmeg (optional garnish)

Instructions:

Brew the espresso and pour it into a large mug.
Heat the milk in a saucepan or microwave, then froth it using a whisk, frother, or blender until foamy.
Mix the maple syrup, vanilla extract, and nut extract into the espresso.
Pour the frothed milk over the espresso mixture.
Top with whipped cream and sprinkle with chopped nuts or nutmeg if desired.

The Maple Nut Latte is likely inspired by Vermont’s famous maple syrup industry. Vermont is the largest producer of pure maple syrup in the United States, and maple-flavored food and drinks are a big part of the state’s culinary identity.

Historically, Vermont was one of the most Republican states in the country. It consistently voted Republican in presidential elections from the party’s founding in the mid-1800s until 1988.  Starting in the 1960s and 1970s, Vermont saw an influx of urban progressives from places like New York and Massachusetts seeking escape from the liberal Democrat hellholes they voted for.

Many were part of the back-to-the-land movement, bringing left-leaning political views.  Despite Vermont’s deep-blue status at the federal level, the state still elects moderate Republicans at the state level, such as Governor Phil Scott, who is popular for his bipartisan and pragmatic leadership.

 

The “Sugaring” Season

Chicory, surrogate and roasted coffee provide new insights into mechanisms of taste perception

Dr. Gisela Olias, Presse- und Öffentlichkeitsarbeit, TUM

In some Christian traditions, especially among Catholics who observe dietary restrictions during Lent, chicory root has been used as a caffeine-free substitute for coffee. It’s commonly consumed in Louisiana and parts of Europe.

The term “Muckefuck” (pronounced “Mook-eh-fook”) is a traditional German word for coffee substitutes, particularly those made from roasted chicory root, barley, or other grains.  No joke! “Muckefuck” is a real historical term in Germany, and while it may sound funny to English speakers, it has nothing to do with profanity.

  • The word likely comes from a mix of French and German dialects. One theory is that it originates from the French phrase “mocca faux”, meaning “fake coffee” (literally, “false mocha”).
  • Over time, German pronunciation altered it into “Muckefuck”, referring to coffee substitutes made from chicory, barley, or other roasted grains.
  • It was commonly used in Prussia, Bavaria, and other German-speaking areas, especially during times of war or economic hardship when real coffee was unavailable.

While the word may raise eyebrows for English speakers, it’s completely innocent in German! If you prefer, you can simply ask for “Chicorée Kaffee” or “Malzkaffee” in Munich to avoid any awkward moments.

“The Fish Fry is the unofficial homecoming of Indiana agriculture,” said Danica Kirkpatrick, Executive Director of the Ag Alumni Association. “Not only do we have a fun, educational program, but our guests tell us each year how much they enjoy the networking and exhibit area. While you can’t help but notice the obvious Purdue Pride at the Fish Fry, you don’t have to be an alumnus to attend.”

“All Glory, Laud and honour”

“All Glory, Laud and Honour” is a hymn written by Theodulf of Orléans around 820 AD, originally in Latin as “Gloria, laus et honor.” Composed during his imprisonment in Angers, France, it was meant for Palm Sunday, celebrating Jesus’ triumphal entry into Jerusalem.

The hymn became part of liturgical traditions, sung during processions. Translated into English by John Mason Neale in 1854, it gained widespread use in Anglican and other churches. Its enduring melody, often paired with the text, is attributed to Melchior Teschner (1615). The hymn remains a staple in Christian worship, especially during Holy Week.
