The first napkin was edible. We can thank the Spa

The first napkin was edible.

We can thank the Spartans in Ancient Greece for that. In those days, they ate everything by hand. That led to the common use of a soft dough to clean off the fingers, a food object called apomagdalie. “Table cloths and napkins were unknown; the place of the latter was taken by soft dough, on which the fingers were rubbed,” explains 19th-century archaeologist Hugo Blümner in The Home Life of the Ancient Greeks. “At large banquets, sometimes towels and water for washing the hands were handed round between the courses, and this was always done at the end of a meal. The practice of using the fingers for eating made this indispensable.” The Romans also introduced two kinds of cloth for napkin-related purposes—the sudarium, a “sweat cloth” of sorts for the face, and the mappa, a large cloth for eating while reclining.

Paper, which is said to originate from China, found one of its earliest uses as a napkin in the second century AD, according to researchers Joseph Needham and Tsien Tsuen-Hsuin, who write that napkins folded into squares were used inside of baskets that held tea cups.

Of course, the Middle Ages had a way of recalibrating things. For a while in Europe, there weren’t really napkins at all. People wiped their hands and faces with bread, their shirts, whatever else was around. Napkins eventually came back in a big way and added an air of formality to many settings—particularly as a variation of tablecloth called a surnape, which those of sufficient status received at their table places. These cloths eventually made it to less formal settings, too.

A big turning point for the role of the napkin actually might have been the fork. In an 1887 edition of Good Housekeeping, writer Albert Aylmer noted that the fork, which took a while to gain acceptance in Europe, made the napkin a bit less essential for most meals. “The introduction of the fork, however, caused eating to become so cleanly a process, especially in contrast to the recent past, that the napkin no longer held its ground as an article of use, but became merely an ornament and a thing of ceremony,” he explained.

The popularity of the Mojito began with Ernest Hem

The popularity of the Mojito began with Ernest Hemingway during his time in Cuba. The cocktail increased in popularity when it was featured in a James Bond Film and later in a Johnny Depp film.

But the history of the Mojito is a bit harder to trace. We have to rely on the spoken word when it comes to Mojitos and there are a few different stories.

It is said that the original Mojito was a medicinal drink to curb disease on the island of Cuba. A moon shine rum-type alcohol was mixed with mint, lime, and sugar cane syrup to ward off illness.

When pirates invaded Cuba the drink was introduced to Pirate Drake where he promptly used rum in place of the Cuban moonshine. The drink took on the name El Draque, until it became the Mojito. Mojo is an African word for magic, which we all know can happen once you have had a few Mojitos. No matter what the true history is, this drink is making current day history all over the world. It was the most popular global cocktail in 2013 and just continues to rise in popularity.

The Kitchen: the room in your home used for storing, cleaning and preparing food for consumption.

Having a kitchen in your home is second nature. It’s a room you do not even think about as a luxury. It is simply the area of the house where getting food or hanging out with family is completely normal and natural. This, however, was not always the case.
