<<< It's been lots of fun learning about the history of that region,
though :o)
Probably impacted foodways and cultural integration for centuries
what with
the Romans, Gaelics, Moors, and subsequent Kingdom realignments.>>>
Not to mention the enigma of the Basques, who had a big impact on the
area and apparently outside of it, since they seem to have provided
the navigators for much of the early New World exploration.
Unfortunately, like many (most?) Americans I don't know much about
the various regions and nationalities of the Iberian Peninsula.
I have just added this request to my "article request list" for the
Florilegium. Sometime I'll even finally get around to getting this
list online. :-)
"9) During the Middle Ages, the Iberian peninsula (now composed of
Spain, Portugal and the British possession of Gibraltar) was a
variety of shifting regions and nationalities. An article contrasting
the different areas and/or the history of the peninsula would be of
interest."
If anyone has further ideas for this list or would like to see the
list to perhaps look for article ideas, please email me and I'll send
it or get it online. Like the Florilegium, this list is not just
confined to cooking and food subjects.
