A pancake is a flat cake, often thin, and round, prepared from a starch-based batter that may also contain eggs, milk and butter and fried on both sides in a pan, often with oil or butter. The Ancient Greeks made pancakes called tagenias (τηγανίτης) meaning "frying pan". The earliest attested references on tagenias (pancakes) are in the poems of the fifth century B.C. poets Cratinus and Magnes. Tagenites were made with wheat flour, olive oil, honey, and curdled milk, and were served for breakfast. Romans eat sweet and savoury dishes of a meal called Alita Dolcia made from milk, flour, eggs and spices. The defining characteristic of the entire vast family of pancakes, however—from crepe to griddlecake, blini, bannock, and beyond—is flatness.
It’s brioche dough given a croissant treatment—egg dough with butter folded in layers.” Not only does Gopnik illustrate that she can bake well, he’s showing that his mother is creative enough to invent a brand new dessert. Gopnik’s wife also interjects with some dialogue in this personal story.

The soul food for African Americans is not only a matter of economics or habit, but also a symbol of cultural identity. The blending of techniques, ingredients, and consumption patterns that developed through the Columbian exchange made African American cuisine distinctive from others. However, because of the small number of source materials that specifically addressed culinary interaction and non-literate Africans, we cannot trace what exactly happened at that time. This is a regret for us that lost a chance insight into the old African food culture. Most of the sources come from the archaeological record or from European or Euro-American sources.

For example, meals like grits and hot-water cornbread have been linked to West African porridges that were made with millet and other indigenous grains after the 1600s. The use of herbs, heavy seasoning and cooking oil in African-American cooking are linked with the West African cuisine, specifically the Igbo and Mande tribes that cooked with palm oil. West African eating customs also influenced African American eating habits such the use of corn bread to soak up remaining sauce. The close ties between what became soul food and West African eating practices would both “other” and unify slaves. Slave masters would often control the food that was offered to slaves in order to gain a sense of security.

But their gods were very different. They thought religion was really important. As they started to farm their main food source was corn (maize), beans, squash and chocolate. They used these to make their “dishes” for example a mixiotes which is rabbit meat with corn and more ingredients. They used chocolate to make unsweetened hot chocolate.
It is also relatively easy to make, because it usually requires only three simple ingredients: flour, water, and salt. To make it, one must mix flour, water, and salt in a bowl and mix it until it turns into dough. Then, he or she rolls it out and cuts it into individual pieces. Finally, he or she bakes the pieces of hardtack for thirty minutes, flips them over, and bakes them for another thirty minutes. This simple recipe allowed the Union and Confederate armies to make trays upon trays of these biscuits, enough to supply each soldier with nine to ten of them per day (Colleary).

Italians typically do not eat an elaborate breakfast. Their morning nourishment consists of a straight shot of caffeine, sometimes accompanied by a cornetto; a croissant. Our first meal on board was our version of an Italian breakfast, consisting of some of the outstanding, salty, nutty pecorino cheese and a few slices of the melt-in-your-mouth Mortadella with pistachio, prosciutto and spicy salami that we bought the day before. We shared a beautiful, fragrant peach that reminded me of the peaches Vince’s father grew in his garden. They were the best I ever had.
Instead, this would be later, and known as cena, where the poor class would be eating vesperna. Early in the course of the empire, vesperna was the evening meal that all citizens of Rome would share with their families. It was once again a one course meal and nothing special or extraordinary. Vesperna at no point was the most lavish meal for citizens, moreso a meal to be shared by family before retiring for the evening. For the most part it was similar to prandium, if only less important.
