Sunday Special - Foodie Words A to ......

The chore for the day is to identify each of the following;
As is the drill for “A to...” the answers are Alphabetical................

1. A semifirm Italian cheese with a rich, nutty flavor is mainly used for grating as a substitute for Parmesan. It was traditionally made with sheep's milk.
2. A cooking method where food (usually meat) is first browned in oil, then cooked slowly in a liquid (wine, stock, or water).
3. Known as star fruit, this golden yellow fruit is grown in the West Indies, Indonesia, and Brazil. When sliced, the fruit has a star shape.
4. A thick, intensely flavored, glossy brown sauce that is made by thickening a rich veal or other brown stock, reduced until concentrated.

6. Another name for the Hazelnut...

7. The art of fine dining; the science of gourmet food and drink.
8. Dried white or yellow corn kernels from which the hull and germ have been removed.
9. A technology whereby cookware is heated using magnetic energy. It requires a special smooth ceramic cooktop with special energy coils directly beneath the surface.

16. To dry grains or starchy vegetables like corn, peas and beans by roasting slightly without burning.
17. This yellow-skinned fruit looks and tastes like a cross between an apple and a pear. The hard, yellow-white flesh is quite dry and has an astringent, tart flavor, which makes it better cooked than raw.
18. A traditional southern gravy made by combining the drippings from fried ham (purists insist on country-cured ham only) with water and hot coffee
