Poume d'oranges

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Poume d'oranges , alsospelled Pome dorreng or Pommedorry , is a characteristic dish of the food culture of the Middle Ages , which is repeatedly documented for court English feasts or in manuscripts on culinary art. These are gold-plated meatballs. This dish appears, among other things, as pome dorreng in the coronation menu for Henry IV .

This dish, which is mentioned in Anglo-Norman manuscripts, among other things , points to the influence of Arabic cuisine on European cuisine. This influence is very likely due to the fact that the Normans conquered Sicily in the 11th century , which was ruled by Arabs for several centuries. The Moors ruled southern Spain for centuries . A similar origin can be established for Teste de Turke .
