Peculiar Materials anil Modes of Cook- j) Inst?Au Interest lug Chapter of Strand* jjFacts. |.j We copy the following curious article, n by Mrs. Henry Ward Beecher, from the ^ Christian Union: n Bread is frequently mentioned in the ti Old Testament, and was evidently r, highly esteemed as that which g, "strengtheneth man's heart." The w shewbread, twelve loaves of which w:is w one of the sacred offerings, placed in the tr outer court ot the Jewish sanctuary, to b; remain there untouched one day and the next to be eaten by the priests only. If the people were disobedient and stiffnecked the Lord threatened to break the staff of their bread. This shows p: how important this part ?f their pro- V vision was in the estimation of the pi Jews fc Of all food to which civilized or even n: the semi-barbarous nations have turned si for support none has been so universally n in imp ;inrl thnnrrlit, on indisnonsablc as ffi this, from whatever made or however tl rudely manufactured. Many things ai were used that we should decidedly ob- b ject to if offered to any of us in place of s< the wheat, rye and corn bead that we aj are so well acquainted with. To this st day, in countries, where our grains can- tl not be raised or easily procured, the 0< people find some substitute which they c make into bread. w Earth-bread is made from a white (j, earth in Upper Lusatia, formerly a part Oi of Germany, but now under the rule oi R Prussia, and the poor of that region to Bi this day use this bread in times of scar- B city. The earth is dug from a hill O where saltpeter was once manufactured. T' When laid in the sun and heated it J/ tracks, and globules, like meal, exude 11 from it. These are mixed witli a little flour and soon ferment, and it is then baked. Probably there is some salt- C peter or soda in this earth which gives \\ it lightness. Something similar to it is Ci found in Catalonia and also used for Oi bread. It is affirmed that in cases of ex- K treme need man}' have lived on this ? bread for weeks without experiencing ? any injury. ~ Fish-bread is still used in Iceland, jj Lapland, Crim-Tartary and other places p far north. The fish is dried, then beaten to fine powder, and sometimes the inner bark of some of the trees of that region is mixed with it, and then wet and ^ made into bread and cakes. Moss-bread is much used in Iceland, 7and is considered "very, nutritive. The J? lichen or reindeer moss contains a good ? deal of starch. The moss is gathered in " the summer, thoroughly dried and 1, ground into meal, and bread gruels and pottage are made from it. It is some- ? times boiled in milk or whey till it be- 9 comes a jelly. Banana-bread. All classes of people in the West Indies are fond of bananas, and particularly when made into bread, jj The ripe fruit is rubbed through a sieve cj and then formed into a loaf and baked C( in hot ashes or dried in the sun. Before C( baking it is wrapped in some of the C) banana leaves. It is always provided ]c bv the people for long voyages. ai "Plantain-bread is made Irom the fruit w of the plantain tree. The 'ruit is about ti a loot long, two inches wide, lias a yt thick, tough skin, con'^ning a soft, ^ pulpy flesh, quite sweet, and soon be- b conies agrecaole to all. The fruit is gath- a] ered green, the skin taken oil* and the *C( pulp roasted on a char coal fire a short n time, then grated and made into loaves D, and served up as bread, or used dry like jr grated cheese. The plantain is very r,, largely cultivated in Jamaica, and is a native of Asia. No kind of provision, tl it h said, could supply the place of plantain-bread. The natives think it far 0, preferable to wheaten-bread or the pre- a, pared bread-fruit from the bread tree. uj Cassava-bread is made from a root U] called Jatropaniat, found in the Carribbee Islands. The juice is a deadly poison, and used by the Indians to poison p( their ar#ows; but the bread from the rc * /* -I j. .A.? *1 : l I puiji oi me root :mt*r me puisuu uas 0] been extracted is much used by the na- cc lives, and also by many others, where w the root is raised. We have eaten it at ]0 the South, and found it quite palatable. 0i The root is well cleaned and scraped, jtl finely grated, and then put in a sack made ]a loosely of rushes. This is hung from a m sross-bar over a tree, or two forked pi sticks, and a heavy weight put upon Jt the grated pulp, with a vessel beneath f0 the sack to receive the poisonous juice. et VVhen the pulp is pressed dry it is like 9t ?tarch, and placed over smoke to dry it H( becomes harmless. Then it is passed bj through a sieve, and kept dry till m needed. It is now called cassava. s0 When made into bread or cake it is vr baked by laying it on hot iron plates, or ap Dn hot earth. Tapioca is made from w the finest part of this root, collected into the irregular globules or tears, as the latives call them, by straining the. t tviiole mass while yet moist. Sago-bread is made from the roots of T< ;he sago tree, which grows in the islands is Df Banda and Amboyna in the Malay a irchipelago. The sago tree is cut into II small pieces, which are bruised and si beaten in a mortar; then water is poured PC over it, and left undisturbed for some T< hours, while the pithy matter, which ar is the meal or sago, settles. VVhen this v< is accomplished the water is poured off, m and the meal dried, then formed into hi cakes, or fermented and made into fr bread. Those who iiave visited these se islands, and eaten ot the bread as made j ol by the natives, pronounce it almost as j fo good as our wlieaten bread. The trunk j lo of a single sajo tree will yield 600 cl( pounds of sago, and 430 trees can be ai planted on one acre of ground, produc- pl ine 120,500 pounds. hi The Hottentots make their bread from lc another variety of the sago tree. They hi collect the pith from the wood, and tie w it un in a call or sheepskin that has been or well dressed, and bury it for several fl< weeks in the ground. This makes the oi pith tender and mellow, when it is made into cake*? or thin loaves of bread, in and baked under hot embers. Some- j af times this pith is roasted, and then made | n< into a porridge. The pith of this vari- Ti cty of sago tree is that used in com- ai merce?granulated by being passed ! ui through a sieve while still moist. h: The bread-fruit tree grows in the (e South Sea islands The tree is about in the size of a well grown oak; the leaves ju are of oblong shape, sometimes a foot and a half long, about as thick as a fig j (' leaf and of the same color, though not thn sn.rnp shiroe. and veinpd or marked ! iike it. The fruit is wrinkled some- I thins like the trufllo and about as large ! jn as a good-sized egjr-pla it. The skin is j jthin. There is a core inside about the ; t() <ize of a linger. The part used iis bread cc lies between the skin and core, is very tc white and very like new bread in ap- a, earance. 'tp To prepare the fruit for use as bread q it is roasted whole or cut into small j,j pieces. When baked in an oven it be- i,,( jomes soft and is something iikc a boiled j t( potato, though not as good as a tirst-rate ! \\ mealy one. ! The Otahoitans have three modes of j jjj usine the bread-fruit. When ripe they j, put milk or cocoanut milk to it. and tv beat it to a paste with a stone pestle. It is then mixed with ripe plantains, or bananas, or mahie. ' Mahie is a pre?ar- ? uti n of the ripe fruit kept on hand to make or use as bread before another ?rop is gathered. The natives seldom p [?at a meal without it. Europeans, j] however, find it as disagreeable as C}; pickled olives usually are when first jj, ?aten. Chestnut-bread is much used in tv Southern Europe, particularly in Italy and the island ot Corsica ic is mane j jj. from horse-chestnuts, seldom, if ever, j :s used as food in this country. | Jl{ Tiie skins '.ire removed from a peek of | horse-chestnuts, and the meat bruised j U] to a paste, which is then covered for a i u! short time with water to destroy the w hitter quality of the nut. Then it is ]u strained through a sieve. A milky j ^ liquor is thus separated from the mass, | fn which, after standing a short time, de- j 0j posits a line, white powder. When tj. tlried an-4 ground into flour it is without smrll or flavor. This flour is then made into bread without any other article added. Millet-bread is also much used by the j)( Italian peasantry, and if eaten warm is *ood. but becomes dry and crumbly when eoid. When boiled and used j n without baking it is nutritious, but in i r* iread, unless oaten immediately, it is Sc t'erv astringent and unhealthy. j Jit ftean Hour is often made into a thick I TV latter with water, and baked in a hoi I-i kettle. It is somewhat used in parts of P Scotland. Ragwort in t:mes of great scarcity has *; seen prepared for bread. The root | when lirst dug up is soft, but soon hard- j Dj .>ns, and can be kept in that(state lor i A( fears without injury if left in a dry* I (ju liry place. The root is easily ground jj< Hid reduced to Hour, is then made into bread, and when baked h:is an agreeable nutty flavor. It is easily digested, and when made into bread is said to he ol more nutritive and exhilarating than ev vvheaten bread. ce Salep is used for bread in the East idies, Syria and Turkey, and it iff said lat one ounce of bread a day made from i3 sufficient to sustain a man. The tea in the South Sea Islands, the breadut in Africa, the lotus in Africa and j arbary are used for bread. Bread is ; lade from the bark of the pine, from P le seeds of the stone-pine, from fern- * iots, and a learned professor in Tubin- e en gives a singular account of wood n hich, prepared^ in a certain manner, r rhich we have not space to give in delil, makes a palatable and nutritious 1 read, closely resembling corn bread. * Crop Returns for 1S7S nnd 1879.
