I'm sure the word gourmet is more than familiar to you. The term
gourmand maybe not so much and the
gastrósofo it's more than likely the first time you've heard of it. Today, in our Newyorker Diary, we are going to review these gastronomic terms so that, in addition to eating well and discovering all the benefits of a healthy life, you can learn a little more about "gastronomic glossary".
The word gourmet comes from French and, according to the RAE definition, refers to a "person with exquisite tastes in food and drink".
Friedrich Christian Eugen Baron von Vaerst (that's nothing with the name) was a military officer turned writer who, from what I've been able to read, knew most about enjoying the pleasures of life. Not in vain, under the pseudonym of Chevalier de Lelly, he wrote the book
"Gastrosophy or the teaching of the joys of the table." thus giving rise to the term
gastrosophy.
Well, our friend Lelly, back in 1851, already pointed out the different types of diners: gourmets,
gourmands and gastrosophists. Which is which?
- The gourmet diner is the one who enjoys refined dishes. Their tastes are delicate and they are constantly looking for sublime flavors that elevate their conception of the word "exquisite" to the maximum expression.
- The foodie gourmand is passionate about food. They enjoy eating, regardless of the dish on the table. If it is exquisite, perfect, if it is not so exquisite, so is it.
- The gastrósofo is passionate about good food but, above all, about healthy food. Another characteristic of this type of foodie is that he goes beyond the mere enjoyment of his palate. He spends his time researching everything to do with gastronomy. What is cooked and drunk, its origin, the gastronomic customs of different cultures and how they have evolved throughout history. The gastrosopher not only wants to enjoy eating, he wants to eat healthy and also to broaden his gastronomic culture. Hence the origin of the term gastrosophy, wisdom and knowledge of gastronomy.
And you, what type of foodie do you identify with?
At La Newyorkina we are very much of the gastrosophy trend., We love good food and gourmet food, but we also care about knowing the origin of the ingredients, the different gastronomic cultures and we defend healthy eating. We believe in gastronomic culture as something that goes beyond knowing the names of the best chefs or which are the most awarded wines.
We believe in gastronomic culture as the knowledge of the products, their origin, elaboration processes, etc.The history of cooking in different cultures... That is to say, to have a real gastronomic culture.
When we started the adventure of La Newyorkina we had one thing clear:
our product would be handmade and we would take care of the origin of each ingredient. to make our granola not only tasty, but also healthy and a guarantee of quality.
Granola La Newyorkina is elaborated with virgin olive oil from Spain, almonds from Valencia and a very tasty
honey from asturian forests. We take care of our product from its first conception, in the selection of the ingredients, to its staging at the point of sale, through a careful process of elaboration in our bakeries at the hands of our master craftswomen.
It is not enough to have a good product, in addition
it is necessary to know how to choose the best collaborators so that all the care we take in the bakery arrives directly to the consumer's palate, without being lost on the way to distribution. And, without a doubt,
at La Newyorkina we have the best network of collaborators we could have ever dreamed of. Gourmet and delicatessen stores that take care of our granola with the same care that we do.
