In case you hadn’t noticed when you could fry a fried egg on the sidewalk, summer has arrived suddenly and without warning. And with it, traditions as beautiful as sleeping without sheets, making marathons of series <\/a><\/strong>while trying to survive the extreme temperatures and, of course, abandon the stew and welcome the star dish of any self-respecting summer: the fruit salad<\/strong>. A simple dish (although it requires its technique, eh, don’t believe it) that we have all taken for granted that it comes from the same country. But, oh, surprise. There’s a trick.<\/p>\n\n\n

Macedonia tastes like nothing<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The mixture of fruits <\/a><\/strong>that in other countries is called “tutti frutti”, “tizana” or a very dull “fruit salad” comes from the fourth century BC, when Alexander the Great consolidated a Macedonian empire <\/strong>full of small countries, cultures and languages that somehow functioned as a hodgepodge. Something like a gathering of neighbors condemned to understand each other.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is not that at that time the king entertained himself mixing fruits: the invention of the dish comes from the 18th century, when in France <\/strong>they began to call “Macedonia” to absolutely any mixture, culinary or not. To understand each other: a children’s class would be a fruit salad and a stew too. In the end, what went down in history was this fruit mixture<\/strong>. Now, please: no sugar or butter. I know, I know you’re thinking, “Who puts butter in fruit salad? Well, who is it going to be: France.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is not the only food that has nothing to do with its country of origin: it is difficult to find artisan Neapolitan pastries, probably the best breakfast in the history of pastries, in Naples. There you can have all the pizza <\/strong>you want, but not too much pain au chocolat. So, what’s with the name? Well, surprisingly enough, it was a way of making fun of the queen in the 16th century.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

In 1504, Isabella I of Castile received the title of Queen of Naples, so she began to be known as such in popular terms: the shape and fatness of the dessert did the rest. <\/strong>To this we must add that in a couplet of the obscene poem <\/a><\/strong>‘Carajicomedia’ there is talk of a “Neapolitan” in a tone, let’s say, relaxed: “The Neapolitan was a courtesan harlot, very named person and very gruessa”. You know: to eat a Neapolitan is to side with the Republic. Up, fat people of the earth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
