Insomma, questo Danubio vi piace proprio... è da ieri che salto dal blog a Facebook alla casella di posta, rispondendo a commenti, domande, spunti e discussioni ed è da ieri che devo confessare la mia ignoranza in materia. Fino a qualche anno fa, per me "donna del Nord" il Danubio era solo un fiume (e che fiume!): è stato solo con la frequentazione dei primi forum di cucina che ne ho scoperto l'esistenza e, col passare del tempo, mi sono anche cimentata in qualche ricetta. Con grande titubanza, a dir la verità, perchè l'allora mia "socia" in catering&Co era sposata ad un napoletano verace e questi lievitati erano "cosa sua": e hai voglia a pensare il contrario, viste le meraviglie che uscivano dalle sue mani: tortani, babà dolci e salati, pizze e tutto quanto viene sfornato in questa regione e che, da noi, non faceva tempo ad arrivare sui buffet already had to provide to refill the trays. The Danube, needless to say, suffered the same fate: past the initial hesitation (from "What?" To "how to eat?"), You slingshots all grasshoppers in style and we could only tell us to relatives and friends what good were these balls of brioche bread stuffed with every gift of God's husband took some revenge by describing Buchteln Trieste and it was during a question and answer like this, yesterday on FB, that Mariella had the courtesy to tell us the true story of the Neapolitan Danube, from its origins to the present day. Here it is:
"I can tell you how born on the Danube? This "flower" is created by pastry stuffed briochine Scaturchio, an institution in Naples and famous even outside the city limits. Its founder, John, had arrived at 13 years, from his native Calabria (Calabria, in the end, somehow got to do) to reach the two older brothers, who were already working in the field of pastry. He began his apprenticeship, but it comes the first World War and touches leave for the front, along with other "boys of '99." There, despite the war, he met Mary Ann, an Austrian girl, which, after the war, marry and bring with him to Naples. Ivanka was born soon, the first of six children and John decided it was time to go it alone, leaving his brother where he works and he opened a pastry shop, in the historical Piazza S. Domenico Maggiore. The pastry starts to make a name, thanks to the high quality of its products and thanks to a kind of great chocolates, called "ministerial" (which also has a fascinating story, but maybe, I will tell you another time ). In this creative fervor, John, inspired by a fresh preparation, common throughout central Europe, it also creates the Danube, and decided to call it that, in honor of his wife's country of origin. "From that moment begins the" triumphal march "the Danube, which leaves the shadow of Vesuvius, and bring it to establish itself as a preparation to secure approval for buffets and receptions all over Italy "

And while sull'emmetichallenge we returned, I take this opportunity for clarification and a response to a question that sometimes comes back.
The clarification concerns the mechanisms of vote: you, as always, are delicious and you never asked for anything, even when we informed you of our decision to add the recipe as a juror in the promoter of the challenge, but we like to be clear, the more reason in this case. So open your ears that I explain it ...
For many new members, in the beginning was the Jury only two of us, and sole judges undeniable and point: it could make sense only when we were up to us to bring the recipes, tricks and because he knew secrets. But when are evidence began to change hands, it seemed only right, right before it, involving also the winner of the challenge, for the reasons mentioned above: it is who offers the recipe that has the keys to success and no one else better than he / she can judge its merits. From the third challenge onwards, therefore, the jury is composed of two members fissi (la Dani ed io) e un terzo "variabile", che cambia tutti i mesi, vale a dire il vincitore della sfida:. E questa, la teoria. Dal punto di vista pratico, invece, funziona così: una volta arrivate tutte le ricette in concorso, sia noi che il terzo giudice stiliamo un elenco delle proposte che ci sono piaciute di più. Dopodichè, confrontiamo e teniamo solo quelle che abbiamo in comune. Se, per esempio, a noi due fossero piaciute le ricette numenro 1,2,3, e al Giudice quelle 2,3,4, verrebbero scartate la 1 e la 4 e il giudizio riguarderebbe solo la 2 e la 3. A questo punto, la palla passa interamente nella metà campo del terzo giudice. Possiamo dargli conforto morale, ascoltare i suoi smoccolamenti, non battere ciglio quando desperately asks "why-why-because I won the emmetichallenge ?????" but we do not feedback on the bill. Nada de nada.
The last thing about a question we do a po'-that is, who are the girls who pull the sword in the banner dell'emmetichallenge. So far I've always said privately, but since the last assumption we argued that the Dani and I, agreed to disclose the identity of the swordsmen, before they put around strange voices. Behind the mask there are the creature and Constance, another friend "historic" the daughter, known at the time of the right screen is now the companion clase school. Even here, however, there is a backstory worth telling, because here's the whole spirit of 'emmetichallenge: that is, a game created for the sheer desire to have fun with friends, not even the' ambition to be a contest. Sure, there were the rules and the number zero, but only because they were essential to the understanding of a new mechanism for most of us, but the rest was just wanted to play, and before we do it better. If not that, and rightly so after a while 'you began to ask the banner: and at that point, we have trawled the archives of family photos, to find something that would make the idea of \u200b\u200ba challenge. Up to now, no we are used to document the family feuds with reportage photography, the only images that could evoke vaguely the duel were the thousands of shots in which the husband had captured the creature and her friends at the time of fencing, and so we chose one and we put that , "which in the meantime, it's just temporary ... Good Sunday to all
