TIDBITS® FOOD FUN

by T.A.Tafoya

Where did that come from? Ever wonder how some of your favorite foods came to be? Tidbits takes a look at some fun food facts.

• According to legend, a Jewish baker in 1683 baked the first bagel. This stirrup-shaped yeast dough was made to honor Jan Sobieski, a renowned horseman and the King of Poland, for saving the people of Austria from Turkish invaders. The baker named the hard roll beugel, the Austrian word for stirrup. The roll soon became a hit throughout Eastern Europe, and over time its shape and name evolved into the modern-day bagel.

• What would the bagel be without cream cheese? In 1872, William Lawrence of Chester, N.Y., an American cheese maker, was experimenting with a recipe for Neufchâtel, a soft French cheese. He didn’t get it quite right, but what was produced was a much softer, silkier cheese. The cheese maker realized that this new cheese was better suited as a spreadable cheese designed to be consumed fresh. It didn’t need to be molded and aged in the Neufchâtel style. He wrapped it in foil, and it was trademarked as Philadelphia Brand Cream Cheese in 1880.

CASTLES (continued):• The famous Tower of London began as a

timber fortress in an earthen enclosure on the north bank of the Thames in London. In 1078, William the Conqueror replaced this timber fortress with a massive stone fortress called the Great Tower. William needed to show his authority and protect his new kingdom.

• In the Middle East, the Crusaders developed great castles with double circuits of curving outer walls and towers to overlook the entire wall. These castles influenced castle building throughout Europe and the British Isles, and the early 13th-century medieval castle was a marriage of Norman, English and Byzantine styles. Two good examples of this are the Château Gaillard on the Seine in France and the Conisbrough Castle in England.

• One of the last tower houses to be built in Scotland was Lethendy Tower, dating back to 1678.

• No two castles are the same. This is due to topography, taste, available materials and the ability of the designer.

• The spiral stairs in castle towers are designed to ascend clockwise in an effort to make the attackers expose more of their body in order to use the sword in their right hand.

• At Exeter Castle in England in 1136, the garrison used wine to extinguish fires from a siege.

• The largest inhabited castle in the world is Windsor Castle in the United Kingdom.

• There were once about 5,000 castles in Japan, but today there are only about a dozen original feudal castles left.

For all your excavating needs from sewer & water, repairs and installations to landscape and design

ARIES (March 21 to April 19) Temper your typical Aries urge to charge into a situation and demand answers. Instead, let the Lamb’s gentler self emerge to deal with a prob-lem that requires delicacy.

TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) You are aware of what’s going on, so continue to stand by your earlier decision, no matter how persuasive the counter-arguments might be. Money pressures will soon ease.

GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) By all means, have fun and enjoy your newly expanded social life. But don’t forget that some people are depending on you to keep promises that are very important to them.

CANCER (June 21 to July 22) You need to wait patiently for an answer to a workplace problem and not push for a decision. Remember: Time is on your side. A financial matter needs closer attention.

LEO (July 23 to August 22) You now have information that can influence that decision you planned to make. But the clever Cat will consult a trusted friend or family member before making a major move.

VIRGO (August 23 to September 22) Good news: You’re finding that more doors are opening for you to show what you can do, and you don’t even have to knock very hard to get the attention you’re seeking.

LIBRA (September 23 to October 22) Your gift for creating order out of chaos will help you deal with a sudden rush of responsibilities that would threaten someone less able to bal-ance his or her priorities.

SCORPIO (October 23 to November 21) Congratulations. Your energy levels are coming right back up to normal -- just in time to help you tackle some worthwhile challenges and make some important choices.

SAGITTARIUS (November 22 to December 21) The sage Sagittarian should demand a full expla-nation of inconsistencies that might be cropping up in what had seemed to be a straightforward deal.

CAPRICORN (December 22 to January 19) A conflict between obligations to family and to the job can create stressful problems. Best advice: Balance your dual priorities so that one doesn’t outweigh the other.

AQUARIUS (January 20 to February 18) Don’t guess, speculate or gossip about that so-called “mystery” situation at the workplace. Bide your time. An explanation will be forthcom-ing very soon.

PISCES (February 19 to March 20) Boredom might be creeping in and causing you to lose interest in a repeat project. Deal with it by flipping over your usual routine and finding a new way to do an old task.

BORN THIS WEEK: You can warm the coldest heart with your lyri-cal voice and bright smile. You find yourself at home, wherever you are.

Food Fun (continued):• Have you had your Wheaties today? In the

1920s, a Minneapolis health-spa owner made homemade bran gruel to feed his clients. The mixture helped keep them regular and helped them lose weight. One day, he dropped some on the stove, and it hardened into a crust. After tasting it, he liked it better than what was cooking in the pot. He made a sample batch to show a friend at the Washburn Crosby Company, which later became the General Mills Company. The original mixture was too crumbly, so they came up with a better flake using wheat. Jane Bausman, the wife of a company executive, thought up the name Wheaties.

• Don’t skip your Wheaties! A study of 19,000 Americans found that people who skipped breakfast are more likely to gain weight because they tend to overcompensate for the loss of key nutrients at breakfast by eating more fat-rich, high-energy foods later in the day.

• The oldest piece of chewing gum is 9,000 years old, but it was in 1906 that the first “bubble gum” was invented by Frank Fleer. His first batch produced a gum so sticky that if it got on your skin the only way to get it off was with vigorous scrubbing and turpentine. His recipe was finally perfected 22 years later by Walter Diemer in 1928. The 23-year-old Diemer was an accountant for Fleer Chewing Gum Company who experimented with new gum recipes in his spare time. His first commercial batch of Dubble Bubble Gum just happened to be pink because that was the only food coloring on the shelf that day. Fleer’s gum became the most popular penny candy on the market.

• In 1912, a Cleveland chocolate candy maker named Clarence Crane wanted to make a hard mint that wouldn’t melt in the summer heat to boost summertime sales. While at the pharmacy buying bottled flavoring, he noticed the druggist using a hand operated pill-making machine that

produced flat, round pills. He contracted with the pharmacy to press the mints into shape. The machinery malfunctioned and stamped the candy with a hole in the middle. After looking at the shape, it reminded him of a life preserver so he called them Lifesavers.

• Did you know ketchup didn’t always contain tomatoes? The Chinese invented it in the 1600s, and this mixture had no tomatoes but a lot of pickled fish and spices. In the early 1700s, British explorers encountered the sauce in Malaysia. By 1740, it was a British staple and was then renamed ketchup. Tomatoes became an ingredient in the late 1700s when New England colonists added them to the mixture, and modern-day ketchup was born. Tomatoes may have been added sooner, but they were once thought to be poisonous. Henry J. Heinz introduced bottled ketchup in 1875, and by the 1980s, Heinz Ketchup was in one of every two American households.

• In 1905 in San Francisco, an 11-year-old boy named Frank Epperson was mixing powdered flavoring in a glass of soda and water. He accidentally left the glass with the stirring stick in it on his back porch overnight. He found it frozen the next morning. This gave Epperson

Food Fun (continued):an idea, and 18 years later in 1923, he started selling “the Epsicle ice pop” for five cents, later changing the name to Popsicle.

• In 1930, Ruth Wakefield was making chocolate cookies at the Toll House Inn in Whitman, Massachusetts. She ran out of baking chocolate so she broke a bar of semi-sweet chocolate into little pieces and added them to the dough. When the cookies came out of the oven, the chocolate hadn’t melted. Instead there were little chips of chocolate scattered throughout the cookie. She called her new creation Toll House Crunch Cookies. She later sold the recipe to Nestle. No one can eat just one! In 1853, at the Moon Lake Lodge in Saratoga Springs, New York, a diner sent an order of french fries back to the kitchen because they were too thick. The chef, George Crum, remade the fries thinner this time, but the customer sent those back too. Crum decided to teach the diner a lesson, so he sliced a potato paper-thin and fried it until it was crisp. The customer loved them. Soon other customers were asking for potato chips. Today, in the United States, a pound of potato chips costs 200 times more than a pound of potatoes.

• Sometimes, a little change can yield big results. American Airlines saved $40,000 in 1987 by eliminating one olive from each salad served in first-class.

• The phrase “busy as a bee” has roots in reality. To make just two pounds of honey, bees have to visit four million flowers, traveling a distance equal to four times around the earth.

• If you find yourself on the wrong end of a bee and get stung, grab an onion. This root vegetable contains a mild antibiotic that tames bee stings and also fights infections, soothes burns and relieves the itch of athlete’s foot.

Q: I am going through some serious “True Blood” withdrawal! Can you tell me when the show will return? I know it’s usually over the summer, but I haven’t heard a specific date yet. -- Ginger F., via e-mailA: HBO just announced that season four of the vampire (and fairy and shifter and witch) drama will begin Sunday, June 26. However, if you need your vampire fix before then, Charlaine Harris will release book 11 of the Southern Vampire Mys-teries, “Dead Reckoning” -- on which the “True Blood” series is based -- on May 3. Also, the “True Blood” season three DVD will be released on May 31.And, since this is the summer of contests, you have a chance to win a copy of the season three “True Blood” DVD set. Write to me at [email protected], or at King Features Weekly Service, P.O. Box 536475, Orlando, FL 32853-6475, and tell me if you are on Team Bill, Team Eric or Team Alcide. I will randomly draw one lucky winner to receive the “True Blood” season three box set. Deadline is May 31.***Q: Do you know if “In Plain Sight” will be return-ing on USA? We thoroughly enjoy it and hope it’s not canceled. -- Pete and Ann, Venice, Fla.A: The USA network’s drama starring Mary Mc-Cormack will return for its fourth season on Sun-day, May 1. The show already has been renewed for it’s fifth season, which is scheduled for a 2012 premiere. So, no worries for your favorite show -- you’ll have at least 20-something more episodes on the way.***Q: The other day, my mom was watching “My Girl” on DVD and it got me to wondering what

Anna Chlumsky, the actress who played Vada, is do-ing now. She was so good in the movie! -- Paula F., Fresno, Calif.A: Anna’s most recent role is that of Jennifer Mills in the Hallmark Channel original movie “3 Weeks, 3 Kids,” premiering Saturday, May 7. Jennifer is a free spirit who is forced to grow up when her par-ents hatch a plan for their solo daughter to care for her sister’s rambunctious children. Of taking on this surrogate-mom role, Anna says: “My character has to face her fears of letting the kids down and letting herself down, and in confronting those fears, that’s really where you find your courage.”Anna, now 30, has guest-starred on “30 Rock” and “Law and Order,” among many other shows. She also just finished shooting “Veep,” a pilot for HBO opposite Julia Louis-Dreyfus, and is in production on the feature film “Sam,” starring opposite Chris Klein.

***Q: NCIS is my favorite show. I was told that Mark Harmon is leaving. Is that true? -- Linda J., Nokomis, Fla.A: With record-setting ratings and being picked up for a ninth season, you can bet Mark won’t be leaving “NCIS” anytime soon.

Dog Leaves His Mark While Owners SleepDEAR PAW’S CORNER: About a year ago, we adopted an 18-month-old mutt. “Buddy” is a great dog, but he has one continuing prob-lem: He urinates and defecates in the living room in the middle of the night. We don’t feed or water him after about 7 p.m., and I take him out nightly at 10. He is otherwise very well housebroken. The only thing that has worked so far is putting him in his crate overnight, but my husband says it’s cruel. Is there any other solution? -- Janice in Lewis-ton, Calif.

DEAR JANICE: Actually, crating is one of the first methods to try in this case, and it can be successful in stopping the problem (though not necessarily the behavior, as Buddy has demonstrated). But some people do feel that crating is cruel, so I understand your hus-band’s feelings about it.

Have you mentioned this problem to Bud-dy’s vet and had him examined for any physical problem? It’s always good to make sure he’s healthy. Also talk to the vet about Buddy being adopted. He may have picked up a bad habit at his former home, or he might still be experiencing some stress from leaving one home and then coming to an-other one.If the problem is behavioral, continue housebreaking with Buddy. A key part of stopping the overnight elimination is to not allow him into areas of the house in which he has already left his “mark,” so to speak. If this is not possible, you may have to continue with the crating, or you may want to consult a professional trainer for more in-depth ideas on solving this dilemma.


On May 7, 1896, Dr. H.H. Holmes, one of America’s first well-known serial killers, is hanged to death in Philadelphia. Although not as well known as Jack the Ripper, authorities dis-covered the remains of more than 200 victims on Holmes’ property.

On May 6, 1937, the airship Hindenburg, the largest dirigible ever built and the pride of Nazi Germany, bursts into flames upon touching its mooring mast in Lakehurst, N.J., killing 36 pas-sengers and crewmembers. The lighter-than-air craft was lifted by highly flammable hydrogen gas.

On May 5, 1945, in Lakeview, Ore., Mrs. Elsie Mitchell and five neighborhood children are killed while attempting to drag a Japanese bal-loon out of the woods. Unbeknownst to Mitchell and the children, the balloon was armed, and it exploded soon after they began tampering with it.

On May 3, 1952, a ski-modified U.S. Air Force C-47 piloted by Lt. Col. Joseph O. Fletcher of Oklahoma and Lt. Col. William P. Benedict of California becomes the first aircraft to land on the North Pole. A moment later, Fletcher climbed out of the plane and walked to the exact geographic North Pole, probably the first person in history to do so.

On May 4, 1965, San Francisco Giants outfield-er Willie Mays hits his 512th career home run to break Mel Ott’s National League record for home runs. Mays would finish his career with 660 home runs, good for third on the all-time list at the time of his retirement.

On May 2, 1972, after nearly five decades as director of the Federal Bureau of Investigation, J. Edgar Hoover dies just as the Watergate affair is about to explode onto the national stage. An inquiry later revealed that the FBI had illegally protected President Richard Nixon from inves-tigation.

On May 8, 1988, Stella Nickell is convicted of murder by a Seattle jury. She was the first person to be found guilty of violating the Fed-eral Anti-Tampering Act after putting cyanide in Excedrin capsules in an effort to kill her hus-band. She began planning his death after their 1976 honeymoon.

TriviaAnswers

OH, BROTHER!“Ain’t no other like a brother” goes the old saying. Tidbits brings you facts about some of the more famous male siblings.• If you’ve seen “Duck Soup,” “Horse Feathers,”

“Monkey Business” or “Animal Crackers,” you’ve seen a movie starring the famous Marx Brothers: Groucho, Harpo and Chico. Although only three brothers appeared in the films, there were actually two other brothers, Gummo and Zeppo, who dropped out of the group to follow their own entertainment careers. Groucho was born Julius, Harpo was Adolph, Leonard changed his name to Chico, Milton changed to Gummo, and Zeppo was really Herbert. Harpo, portrayed as a harp-playing mute in a curly wig, was not really mute at all. Up until the 1914 vaudeville play “Home Again,” he regularly spoke, but when the playwright forgot to give him any lines, his new image was born.

• You probably won’t recognize the names of the Eichelbaum brothers, Harry, Albert and Jack. The name they adopted after opening a Hollywood production company in 1919 is much more familiar. Calling themselves the Warner Brothers, these movie executives produced “The Jazz Singer” in 1927 and went on to bring us scores of other famous films.

• Massachusetts brothers George, Charles and Edward Parker got into the toy and game business in 1883, and since that time, Parker Brothers has brought us more than 1,800 games, including Monopoly, Sorry, Trivial Pursuit, Clue and Aggravation. In 1934, in the midst of the Great Depression, they introduced Monopoly. It’s estimated that more than a billion people have played the popular board game. Can you name the elderly man in the tuxedo, with his cane and top hat that is seen in the game? It’s Rich Uncle Pennybags!

• When the Sullivan brothers, George, Francis, Joseph, Madison and Albert, enlisted in the U.S.

OH, BROTHER! (continued):

Navy in January of 1942, they stipulated that they all wanted to serve together. The Navy did not strictly enforce their policy of separating siblings, and all five were assigned to the U.S.S. Juneau. Just over 10 months later, during the Battle of Guadalcanal, the Juneau was struck by a Japanese torpedo, and all five Sullivan brothers were killed. The family, including the sole surviving child, sister Genevieve, was not notified of their fate until two months later. As a result of their deaths, the War Department’s Sole Survivor Policy was instituted to protect

military personnel from combat duty if another family member has already been killed in action.

• The German-born Brothers Grimm, Jakob and Wilhelm, began publishing folk tales, legends and fairy tales in the early 1800s. Their volumes brought us hundreds of stories, such as Rumpelstiltskin, Hansel & Gretel, Cinderella, Little Red Riding Hood, Snow White and The Elves & the Shoemaker.

“Good morning, Mr. Phelps” and “Good morning, Marshall Dillon” were greetings directed toward two brothers in their well-known television roles. Peter Aurness, better known as Peter Graves, starred as Impossible Mission Force Agent Jim Phelps on TV’s “Mission Impossible” from 1967 to 1973. His brother James Aurness, who changed the spelling to Arness, was a familiar figure in the role of U.S. Marshall Matt Dillon on TV’s long-running western “Gunsmoke.”
