Açma

A bagel (yiddish: בײגל, romanized: beygl; polish: bajgiel; also historically spelled beigel) is a bread product originating in the jewish communities of poland. it is traditionally shaped by hand into the form of a ring from yeasted wheat dough, roughly hand-sized, that is first boiled for a short time in water and then baked. the result is a dense, chewy, doughy interior with a browned and sometimes crisp exterior. bagels are often topped with seeds baked on the outer crust, with the traditional ones being poppy and sesame seeds. some may have salt sprinkled on their surface, and there are different dough types, such as whole-grain and rye.the earliest known mention of a boiled-then-baked ring-shaped bread can be found in a 13th-century arabic cookbook, where they are referred to as ka'ak. bagels have been widely associated with ashkenazi jews since the 17th century; they were first mentioned in 1610 in jewish community ordinances in kraków, poland. bagel-like bread known as obwarzanek was common earlier in poland as seen in royal family accounts from 1394.bagels are now a popular bread product in north america and poland, especially in cities with a large jewish population, many with alternative ways of making them. bagels are also sold (fresh or frozen, often in many flavors) in supermarkets. the basic roll-with-a-hole design is hundreds of years old and has other practical advantages besides providing more even cooking and baking of the dough: the hole could be used to thread string or dowels through groups of bagels, allowing easier handling and transportation and more appealing seller displays.

Agiorgitiko (greek: αγιωργίτικο; also known as aghiorghitiko) is a red greek wine grape variety that, as of 2012, was the most widely planted red grape variety in greece, ahead of xynomavro. the grape has traditionally been grown in the nemea region of the peloponnese but can be found throughout the country including attikí (attica) and makedonía (macedonia).one of the more commercially important indigenous greek varieties, it can exhibit a wide range of characteristics, from soft to very tannic, depending on factors in the growing and winemaking processes. the grape is typically made as a varietal, though it is notably blended with cabernet sauvignon in the area around metsovo to make the table wine traditionally called katoi. in the region of nemea it is often made into rosés of oak-aged red wines. the wines are known for their high level of fruitiness but tend to lack some acidity and body.the red wine produced from the grape is characteristically spicy with notes of plum. it has low acidity but good fruitiness and coloring.agiorgitiko is generally planted in dry, infertile soil to encourage the production of fewer but more concentrated grapes, ripening after mid-september.

Aglio e olio

Spaghetti aglio e olio (italian: [spaˈɡetti ˈaʎʎo e ˈɔːljo]; italian for '"spaghetti [with] garlic and oil"') is a traditional italian pasta dish from naples. it is a typical dish of neapolitan cuisine and is widely popular. its popularity can be attributed to it being simple to prepare and the fact that it makes use of inexpensive, readily available ingredients that have long shelf lives in a pantry. the dish was once also known as "vermicelli alla borbonica" or also as "vermicelli con le vongole fujute", when in the white version.the dish is made by first lightly sautéing thinly sliced garlic in olive oil, always with the addition of red pepper flakes (dried chilli – in which case its name is spaghetti aglio, olio e peperoncino). the oil and garlic are then tossed with spaghetti cooked in salted water. finely chopped italian parsley is then commonly added as a garnish. grated parmesan or pecorino cheese can be added, although cheese is not included in most traditional recipes. some recipes recommend to add some of the water from cooking pasta to the olive oil to create a sauce, but other recipes recommend simply pouring the oil onto the drained pasta, which doesn't create a sauce.

Agua de Valencia

Valencian water (valencian, aigua de valència.) is a cocktail made from a base of cava or champagne, orange juice, vodka and gin. in general, it is served in pitchers of various sizes and is consumed from a broad cocktail glass. it was made for the first time in 1959 by constante gil in the bar café madrid de valencia in the city of valencia, spain. according to the writer maría ángeles arazo in her book valencia noche, the bar was frequented at that time by a group of basque travellers that used to order "agua de bilbao" (spanish, "water of bilbao"), referring to the bar's best cava. tired of always ordering the same thing, they challenged the owner to offer them something new and he suggested that they try the "agua de valencia". they agreed to try what gil made, and liking it, they continued to drink it in later visits. for a decade the drink was known only to a small group of clients and it was not until the 1970s that it started to become known in the wider valencian nightlife. since then, it has grown to be a very popular drink. constante gil left the bar in 2000, and dedicated himself to painting "tertulias de café" (spanish, "social gatherings of the café"), an homage to his experiences there. gil died of a heart attack on 7 june 2009 in valencia, spain.

Alicante Bouschet

Alicante bouschet or alicante henri bouschet is a wine grape variety that has been widely cultivated since 1866. it is a cross of petit bouschet (itself a cross of the very old variety teinturier du cher and aramon) and grenache. alicante is a teinturier, a grape with red flesh. it is one of the few teinturier grapes that belong to the vitis vinifera species. its deep colour makes it useful for blending with light red wine. it was planted heavily during prohibition in california for export to the east coast. its thick skin made it resistant to rot during the transportation process. the intense red color was also helpful for stretching the wine during prohibition, as it could be diluted without detracting from the appearance. at the turn of the 21st century, alicante bouschet was the 12th most planted red wine grape in france with sizable plantings in the languedoc, provence and cognac regions. in 1958, alicante bouschet covered 24,168 hectares (mainly across southern france); by 2011, plantings represented less than 4,000 hectares. this scenario is largely reversed in other regions of europe, and in southern portugal, where its wines are highly prized and frequently outscore traditional autochthonous varieties.
