Tips on Coffee - The Devil's Cup: Coffee, the Driving Force in History (#)

  „Made of equal parts inspired travel writing and savvy cultural criticism, the book describes Allen's pilgrimages to coffee's major sites of interest. From the drink's origins in Harrar, Ethiopia, to its arguable demise at a place called Adrien's Coffeeshop somewhere along Route 66, Allen's espresso-powered peregrinations offer a lively study of coffee's role in world history. By turns worshiped and scorned for its psychoactive effects, the beverage has spawned legends almost as fabulous and seductive as the drink itself. It inspired the Islamic Whirling Dervishes, who slurped the stuff as a prelude to their bouts of religious ecstasy, and is thought to have precipitated the French Revolution, when citizens stormed the Bastille in part to liberate a coffee-deprived Marquis de Sade.“

Amazon.com: Gourmet Food: Bel Paese - Sundried Tomato - 1 Pound

  „Invented in Lombardy in 1929 by the Galbani Cheese Company, Bel Paese is now made in the U.S.A. Literally meaning "beautiful country," Dante used these words to describe Italy which in turn inspired Galbani to name his cheese Bel Paese. It is a semi-soft, uncooked, pressed pasteurized cow's milk cheese with a wax rind. Made in small discs, it's appearance is pale, creamy yellow with small holes dotted amongst its interior.“
