Cu polonicul

ore de drum

Bologna, 2019

Multă vreme am crezut că zuppa inglese este chiar o supă de-adevăratelea, introdusă în meniul italienilor din regiunea Emilia Romagna în secolul 19, pe vremea când aristocrația engleză își făcea turul inițiatic obligatoriu în această parte de lume.

Vedeam în meniu denumirea și de fiecare dată îmi închipuiam că îmi aduce într-un bol o zeamă cu ingredientele decretate de establishmentul englezesc.

Până când, la un agriturismo cu meniu fix n-am avut altă alegere și, cu sufletul strâns, a trebuit să accept măcar să gust, cum a zis gazda, consternată că fac mofturi la zuppa inglese. Așa am aflat ce este.

De atunci, multe din traseele mele italiene se configurează abil în jurul acestei specialități.

Însă, odată ajunsă în capitala gastronomică a nordului italian în principal pentru degustarea asa-zisei supe, m-am văzut nevoită să înfrunt o sumedenie de alte pofte culinare.

400,000+ Sound Recordings Made Before 1923 Have Entered the Public Domain | Open Culture

“According to the act, all sound recordings prior to 1923 will have their copyrights expire in the US on January 1, 2022,” says the Public Domain Review. This straightens out a tangled legal framework that previously wouldn’t have allowed the release of pre-1923 sound recordings until the distant year of 2067.

And so all of us now have free use of every sound recording from a more than 60-year period  that “comprises a rich and varied playlist: experimental first dabblings, vaudeville, Broadway hits, ragtime, and the beginnings of popular jazz. Included will be the works of Scott Joplin, Thomas Edison’s experiments, the emotive warblings of Adelina Patti and the first recording of Swing Low, Sweet Chariot.”
