For the complete write-up, logon to http://in.geocities.com/nikhil2000_g/newsletter/news_08.htm =================================================================== (2) Interesting Facts - How Five Foods Got Their Names 1. The cracker was named by Josiah Bent of Milton, Massachusetts. It was in the early 1890s when he baked an extra crispy batch of biscuits. They crackled when eaten so he called them crackers. 2. The 18th century was the great age of gambling in Britain. The 4th Earl of Sandwich was so determined not to leave the gaming tables, even for a meal, he ordered 'slices of beef placed between pieces of bread'. Thus was the sandwich invented. 3. French fries are not named after the country of France. 'Frenched' means to cut into narrow strips, before frying. These long, thin potatoes are named for the cooking term. 4. The hot dog got its name from Chicago newspaper cartoonist Tad Dorgan. One day in 1906, Dorgan was attending a baseball game in New York's Polo Grounds. He drew a sketch of frankfurters making them look like dachshunds on buns. Beneath the cartoon he wrote, 'Hot Dogs'. 5. Ketchup originated in China. The Chinese made a spicy sauce of fish broth and mushrooms which they called ke-tsiap. Sailors brought the recipe for this sauce to England where tomatoes were added. The name for them became kechup. =================================================================== (3) Free Download - Go!
