PROBLEM: CONTEXT: The basic principle of serving a dish at a time is called Russian Service by the French, who started using it in the early 1800s. The particular order of the dishes has changed with the times and with theories of how meals should be served. The book Arranging the Meal by Flandrin describes the history of these changing fashions.There has been a debate since classic Greek times of when to have, or even whether to have, a salad course. The Greeks suggested eating after the meal to help with the ensuing drinking. The British were having it before the meal in the 1600s. By the 1800s French meals served a la russe placed the salad close to the end of the meal, a tradition kept up to today. I remember reading that the starter salad, common in the US, is a simplified antipasto, but have not been able to find the reference, so for now it is just a guess. <sep> Q: From which culture did our North American meal progression (soup/salad/appetizer + meal + dessert) come from?###Sorry for the lag. A: There has been a debate since classic Greek times of when to have, or even whether to have, a salad course.

SOLUTION: No

PROBLEM: CONTEXT: Generally speaking, maple syrup will work fine in any recipe that calls for honey. They may have slightly different viscosities and water content, but that could be true between two honeys as well, so I wouldn't worry about it a lot. The only thing I think you really have to consider is whether the flavor of maple syrup is appealing in the dish you would substitute it in. In most cases, I think it will be fine, especially if the dish would have worked well with a dark, fully flavored honey. You might also like to try sorghum syrup, molasses, or agave nectar as other possible replacements. <sep> Q: Can I replace honey with maple syrup in recipes that require honey? A: Generally speaking, maple syrup will work fine in any recipe that calls for honey Q: Can I use it in Honey Shortbread Biscuits? A: The only thing I think you really have to consider is whether the flavor of maple syrup is appealing in the dish you would substitute it in <sep> FOLLOWUP_Q: Do you know how much syrup for how much honey?

SOLUTION: No

PROBLEM: CONTEXT: You need to ferment in a cool place, so you can only ferment pickles in the monsoon season when temperatures are down, or inside a house with A.C.Vegetables turn soft if it's too hot. Taste and feel is important here. Soft vegetables are the biggest problem if it's too hot. On the 3rd day it is good to place in the fridge to slow the fermenting, if you can. Crocks may be wrapped in burlap, palm dry, & kept wet in a cool shade place with breeze. Cloudy days are a big help. Place a plate on top of crock to keep insects dirt out. So it can be done with care. I'm in the South Phillipines, and it seems to work on the shady side of the house under the second floor A.C., where dripwater hits a wrapped crock, along with the breeze in the monsoon season. <sep> Q: Hi there, I've got a question about pickles A: You need to ferment <sep> FOLLOWUP_Q: I'm living in a tropical region, and I've heard that warm temperatures are not conducive to pickling, is there a way I can still ferment pickles in the heat?

SOLUTION:
Yes
