She was just following ancient traditions, when women from the Mogul times – 14th-century – sang this song for fun in the kitchen, while cooking and amusing their kids at the same time.\u003cbr\u003eThe translation from the vernacular goes something like this –\u003cbr\u003eClove and cardamom – good pals they\u003cbr\u003eWent for a forbidden swim for kicks.\u003cbr\u003eAnd soon we heard Clove yelling.\u003cbr\u003e“Golly, cardamom has gone for a six ”.\u003cbr\u003e¬ and so on, in more hilarious verses, about how clove would and could not bother to drag the drowning cardamom out of the water, because he would get wet, catch a cold, his momma had told him not to go swimming, and so on! Until cardamom came out of the water and both went home.\u003cbr\u003eHome, meaning the tummy of a gourmet who would appreciate the presence of cloves and cardamom in his delicately seasoned dish.\u003cbr\u003eThe Association of cloves and cardamoms have been a part of the lives of spices in the East. Where you put in a couple of ground cloves, you may be asked whether you want to add some more cardamoms in, too. Most often, you say yes, because after all that is going to increase the taste quotient. Cloves also go well with cinnamon, star anise, basil and pepper.\u003cbr\u003eNevertheless, this book is going to tell you all about the magic of cloves, which has been considered to be one of the most precious spices treasured down the centuries by the West. Wars were fought for cardamoms, cinnamon, pepper and cloves. Trade routes to the Indies, and to the East were jealously guarded by adventurous traders in the West.\u003cbr\u003eCloves first originated in Indonesia from where traders took them all over the world, in ancient times. In fact, 3000 years ago, a Chinese emperor asked his courtiers to chew ding xiang in order to keep their breath fresh, when they came into his presence.\u003cbr\u003eApart from its use in medicine, it was, and is also used extensively to add taste, sweetness, and warmth to a dish.\u003cbr\u003eArchaeologists have found traces of cloves in archaeological excavations going back to 1721 BC in Syria. So this shows how long this great and precious spice has been associated with mankind.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"JD-Biz Corp Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47078209618160,"sku":"2940045726474","price":2.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/2940045726474_p0.jpg?v=1763683091","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940045726474","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
