Not quite the first crop, not even from the Hanging Gardens of Wang Wei - that means, they hang almost literally over the Mediterranean Sea - but very close to...<br /><br /><a href="http://www.studiolum.com/wang/mallorca/lemon-from-alcudia-to-copenhagen.jpg" rel="nofollow">These</a> lemons, wrapped in silk papers marked "Alcudia" were smiling at me from a fruit chest on the shelf of an Arabic grocery store in Copenhagen. And there is only one Alcudia in the whole world, at the North-Eastern shores of Mallorca, where the remains of the Roman town Pollentia and silky sandy strands await the visitors.<br /><br />At my home, the lemons came to a company almost as noble as of their predecessors from Wang Wei. They were served as seasoning in a salad accompanying a speciality from Nazareth, freekeh with chicken. Besides the lemons the dressing was composed of a couple of spoonfuls of Rumi olive oil from Palestine and a pinch of Lebanese sumac. Rumi olive trees were cultivated in Palestine already in Roman times, so matching it with lemons from ancient Pollentia was a historically correct choice. And next time, if I remember to put the bottle in the fridge in good time, I will serve it with a nice glass of Chardonnay from the Golan Heights, thus fullending the culinary harmony between these gifts of the Mediterranea.Liang Shenghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06150433124241554291noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4565845984512808077.post-36663905669363808412009-01-04T20:27:00.000+01:002009-01-04T20:27:00.000+01:00Desde Brasil y con tiempo limitadísimo de internet...Desde Brasil y con tiempo limitadísimo de internet por los cuervos que tengo sobrevolándome para usar la máquina, al menos quiero dejar constancia de mi visita y de lo maravillosa que parece esa comida cosmopolita de fin de año).
