Last year I wrote a post on Restoring a Catholic Culture through Liturgical Cooking, pointing out that while there are so many ways to celebrate the Church year and feast days of saints, but I always return back to food and drink as a touchstone for connecting to the liturgy and the life of a saint within in the Domestic Church. Following the food trail for this Franciscan friar unfolds a brief biography and cultural history. \u003cbr\u003eWWJE: An abbreviation for What Would Junípero Eat? Half of his life was spent in Mallorca, and then the rest in the New World. Here are a few ideas, either traditional or authentic foods, or newer recipes that combine ingredients that Junípero would have known in his life from 1713-1784.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e1) Traditional Foods from Mallorca (Majorca), Spain. \u003cbr\u003e2) \u003cbr\u003e3) \u003cbr\u003eMiguel Jose Serra i Ferrer (later to take the name Junípero) was born in Mallorca (Majorca), Spain, one of the Balearic Islands off the east coast of Spain in the Mediterranean. Here he lived on a humble farm until at the age 16 he joined the Franciscan Order at the Convento de San Francisco, located in Palma de Mallorca. Palma is still the largest city of the Balearic Islands. \u003cbr\u003eMallorca traditionally has been rich in agriculture with foods that have made the \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMediterranean famous: figs, almonds, oranges, lemons, limes, olives, wheat, grapes, juniper berries, etc. When Junípero was 36, he left the island of Mallorca to be a missionary in the New World, traveling 8000 miles from Mallorca. He would never see his family or homeland again.\u003cbr\u003eLiving a saintly life doesn't make a person less human. We all have certain foods or dishes, often referred as \"comfort food\" that bring us back to home, childhood, or happy memories. \u003cbr\u003eSaints were no different. I often return to the story of St. Francis of Assisi, who on his deathbed asking for one of his favorite sweet treat, \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eVisiting Spain in 1520 he was favorably received and new honors bestowed upon him. However, in 1523, he had to return again to Spain to answer charges against him. The remainder of his life was taken up by the suit of the heirs of Columbus against the royal treasury, a memorable legal contest only terminated in 1564. Diego seems to have been a man of no extraordinary attainments, but of considerable tenacity of character. \u003cbr\u003eFERDINAND, better known as FERNANDO COLON, second son of Christopher, by Dona Beatriz Enriquez, a lady of a noble family of Cordova in Spain, was b. at Cordova, August 15, 1488; d. at Seville, July 12, 1539. As he was naturally far more gifted than his half-brother Diego, he was a favorite with his father, whom he accompanied on the last voyage. As early as 1498 Queen Isabella had made him one of her pages and Columbus in his will (1505) left him an ample income, which was subsequently increased by royal grants. Fernando had decided literary tastes and wrote well in Spanish. While it is stated that he wrote a history of the West Indies, there are now extant only two works by him: \"Description y cosmograffa de Espana\", a detailed geographical itinerary begun in 1517, published at Madrid in the \"Boletin de la Real Sociedad geografica\" (1906-07); and the life *of the admiral, his father, written about 1534, the Spanish original of which has been lost. It was published in an Italian translation by Ulloa in 1571 as \"Vita dell' ammiraglio\", and retranslated into Spanish by Barcia, \"Historiadores primitivos de Indias\" (Madrid, 1749). As might be expected this biography is sometimes partial, though Fernando often sides with the Spanish monarchs against his father. Of the highest value is the report by Fray Roman Pane on the customs of the Haitian Indians which is incorporated into the text. (See Arawaks.) Fernando left to the cathedral chapter of Seville a library of 20,000 volumes, a part of which still exists and is known as the Biblioteca Colombina. \u003cbr\u003eBARTHOLOMEW, elder brother of Christopher, b. possibly in 1445 at Genoa; d. at Santo Domingo, May, 1515. Like Christopher he became a seafarer at an early age. After his attempts to interest the Kings of France and England in his brother's projects, his life was bound up with that of his brother. It was during his time that bloodhounds were introduced into the West Indes. He was a man of great energy and some military talent, and during Christopher's last voyage took the leadership at critical moments. After 1506 he probably went to Rome and in 1509 back to the West Indies with his nephew Diego. \u003cbr\u003eDIEGO, younger brother of Christopher and his companion on the second voyage, b. probably at Genoa; d. at Santo Domingo after 1509.
