For most people, breakfast is the most important intake of food per day. The way people have breakfast, significantly changed over the centuries. Regardless of whether people enjoy a luxurious breakfast of several dishes or quickly snack on the run, there are many products that can be found on the tables during breakfast worldwide.
Today they are perceived as proper, but many of them have a fun origin, and others actually were invented at all by mistake.
1 coffee
Everyone loves to enjoy the morning cup of coffee. In fact, coffee for a long time is a favorite drink in the world, and every year about 150 million coffee bags are consumed throughout the globe. It would seem that it was reasonable to assume that such a popular drink was developed by ancient civilization. However, according to legend, it was discovered by a flock of goats. Once in the past, Ethiopian goat noted strange changes in the behavior of his flock of goats. Animals have become more lively and active, and with difficulty stacked to sleep at night.Having traced behind them, he found that the goats with the pleasure of the berries of a certain tree with pleasure. The shepherd shared his story with the local abbot, which began to experiment with the preparation of a drink from these berries. The Abbot could not expect that the drink created by him would get such a mad popularity and one day will be the favorite "way of awakening", which can be found on most tables during breakfast.
2 Tea bagic
The mug of good tea is almost as popular as a cup of coffee. In fact, only one UK annually consumes 36 billion cups of tea. According to the British Tea Association, 96% of tea lovers use comfortable tea bags. Thus, it would be possible to think that the tea bag was a smart invention to improve the morning "wood". However, it was invented by mistake. In the early 1900s, the American Chamber of Team was looking for a way to send samples of their tea to customers around the world, not spoiling content.
In about 1908, Thomas Sullivan did small silk bags to send samples of tea to buyers. Soon he began receiving feedback from buyers that the grid on the packages was too thin. It turned out that instead of pouring the contents in traditional teapots, as the seller assumed, buyers actually placed a package in a cup with boiling water. Sullivan eventually made gauze bags, with a rope and tag. In the 1920s, tea bags were already massively produced.
3 cheese
Cheese has existed many centuries and is happy to eat around the world. It is put on toasts and on sandwiches for breakfast, and also used in a variety of recipes. Although the production of cheese has become real art in many cultures, no one knows for sure who first created cheese. According to one legend, an ancient Arab trader kept milk in a linen bag during his journey in the desert. Somehow speaking, in the morning he found that his milk processed and curled.The heat of the desert made the milk to join the reaction with the bag's insides, and it broke up on cottage cheese and serum. Considering that his food had little, the merchant drank the contents and ate milk cottage cheese. Cheese, which he turned out by chance, became a favorite meal worldwide.
4 Margarine
It is believed that many margarine varieties are more useful than butter, and often they are cheaper. But did someone think about this casual food. In fact, this product was invented at the competition, who spent Napoleon III to find a replacement for oil in the rations of soldiers in the 1800s. The oil not only spoiled quickly, but was very expensive, which significantly increased the cost of military campaigns.
In 1869, the French chemist named Ippolit Inzhez-Murier invented a mixture of beef fat, water and milk. Initially, he called his invention "oleomargarine" because he believed that it contains oleic and margarhic acid. The Dutch company has improved the original mixture using vegetable oils and a yellow dye so that it looks like a creamy oil.
Producers of dairy products, however, were unhappy when in the 1870s in the USA began the production of this oil substitute. Laws restrictive and even prohibiting the production and sale of Margarine were adopted. Only in 1967, the last of these laws was finally canceled. Today in any store you can see a huge range of margarine brands, which many loved to smear instead of creamy oil on the morning sandwich.
5 Sliced bread
Imagine that in the morning the bridge cut off a piece of bread from loaf, and then it turns out that he is too fat to fit into the toaster. People eat bread in one form or another for about 30,000 years old, and alternately bowing or biting pieces from the whole loaf. Over time, the habits in food became "cultural", and began to gently cut off the slices from loaf, bought in the store.Dako, despite the fact that people ate bread daily for thousands of years, only pre-sliced bread was actually invented only in the 1920s. In 1928, an engineer from Iowa Otto Radedder developed a commercial car for cutting bread for his bakery. Convenience immediately appreciated customers, and by 1929 Radedder had already made cars for cutting bread for bakeries across the United States.
6 ketchup
Some people call it ketchup, others - tomato sauce. No matter how it was called this product, every day simply use a huge amount of ketchup. Interestingly, I would like to have liked someone today to water the guts of the sedentary fermented fish sausage during breakfast ... But it was exactly the same "delicacy" was actually the progenitor of sauce, which many know and love today. We are talking about Chinese Kezyap - acute fermented fish sauce. In the XVIII century, the British tried to copy the unique taste of this Asian sauce using products such as anchovies, mushrooms and nuts.
Tomatoes were added to the recipe only at the beginning of the XIX century, but the ketchups based on tomatoes quickly spoiled. As a result, they began to add to the composition of such ingredients such as a coal resin, in an attempt to increase the shelf life of the sauce. Only in the late 1800s, a person named Henry Heinz decided not only to change the variety of tomato used, but also use natural preservatives for fruit. He also added vinegar to a mixture, as a result, making a favorite seasoning in a world that everyone enjoyed today.
7 Vedenitis
You can find a jar with a vendor in almost every home in Australia. It was the most popular breakfast product on this continent for almost a century, but in all the rest of the world he is known worldwide with its specific taste, which many consider nasty. The thick black paste appeared in 1922, when the food company hired a chemist to make the product with the addition of Vitamin V. Dr. Siril Kallister spent months in a laboratory, improving pasta based on beer yeast. Thanks to thoughtful marketing, including a number of references to the Australian folklore, the new product has become a national icon.8 Cornflakes
Every morning, cornflakes can be found on the tables during breakfast. At the end of the 1800s, the Seventh-day Adventists experimented with various cereals to create new vegetarian dishes corresponding to the diet to which their church calls. Dr. John Harvey Kellog, the Seventh-day Adventist himself, fed by these mixtures of patients in Michigan's sanatorium, whose head he was.
In 1894, he decided not to throw off the corn flour with his brother, but try to cook something from it. Given that the dough curled into the lumps, after the frying they turned out the flakes that they were offered to patients. The original dough for flakes was patented in 1895, and packets with them began to sell on postal delivery. In 1898, a larger factory for the production of flakes was created, and competitors began to produce dry breakfasts that were becoming increasingly popular.
9 milk in packages
Every morning all over the world, people open a fridge to take a package with milk. In fact, it is one of the most consumed products. It is drunk, add to tea, coffee, flakes and use in many recipes. People use milk for about 10,000 years old when they first started using pet milk, such as sheep, cows and goats. In the ancient Egyptians, it was a drink for very rich, but as a result, dairy products became one of the main foods. By the XIV century, the cow's milk has become more popular than sheep.For most peasants, the morning began with the fact that they went to the hlev, to make the milk bucket for breakfast. Needless to say, this unprocessed milk was full of microbes and bacteria. In 1862, the Frenchman Louis Paster began to experiment with the methods of processing and packing milk to make it safer and convenient. The first milk bottle was invented in 1884 in the state of New York to simplify the transportation of milk with farms.
Original paper bags for milk appeared in the 1950s, the nonetheless cardboard packaging with a survived riding, which everyone is used today, developed an engineer from Detroit in the 1960s. By 1987, 98 percent of milk was already delivered in such packages.
10 Quick breakfast
The pace of life in the 21st century so accelerated that many simply do not have time to calmly breakfast. Therefore, it is not surprising that there was a need for a quick and easy breakfast version that can be eaten on the way on the way to work. Fast breakfasts have become popular today, despite disputes on their nutritional value. They were first designed in the 1960s and were originally advertised as a product for weight loss.
Nevertheless, in the mid-1960s, Carnation Food began selling a breakfast powder, which provided "all nutrients of a full-fledged breakfast" when dissolved in a glass of milk. The popularity of these products grew every year, and new options constantly appeared. Liquid breakfasts are one of the most popular quick preparation products available today.
