Accidental Legacy of 'Corn Flakes'

I

The accidental legacy of corn flakes goes back to the late 19th century, when a team of Seventh-day Adventists began to develop new food to adhere to the vegetarian diet recommended by the church. Members of the group experimented with a number of different grains, including wheat, oats, rice, barley, and corn. In 1894, Dr. John Harvey Kellogg, the superintendent of The Battle Creek Sanitarium in Michigan and an Adventist, used these recipes as part of a strict vegetarian regimen for his patients, which also included no alcohol, tobacco, or caffeine. The diet he imposed consisted entirely of bland foods. A follower of Sylvester Graham, the inventor of graham crackers and graham bread, Kellogg believed that spicy or sweet foods would increase passions.

This idea for corn flakes began by accident when Kellogg and his younger brother, Will Keith Kellogg, left some cooked wheat to sit while they attended to some pressing matters at the sanitarium. When they returned, they found that the wheat had gone stale, but being on a strict budget, they decided to continue to process it by forcing it through rollers, hoping to obtain long sheets of the dough. To their surprise, what they found instead were flakes, which they toasted and served to their patients. This event occurred on August 8, 1894, and a patent for "Flaked Cereals and Process of Preparing Same" was filed on May 31, 1895, and issued on April 14, 1896

The many avatars of the Margarita

Mixologists show how to modify the classic Margarita cocktail to suit your taste

In its classic form — tequila, lime juice and Cointreau or Triple Sec, served in a glass with a salted rim — the Margarita is a perfect combination of sweet, salty, sour and bitter.

Any bartender worth his salt will always insists that he's the only one who knows how to make the perfect Margarita, because he's the only one who knows 'the perfect proportions' or 'the perfect way to rim a glass'.

"However, a true Margarita aficionado understands that 'the perfect Margarita' is subjective. This is primarily because the Margarita is one of the most versatile cocktails out there. It can be prepared in different textures (on-the-rocks or frozen) and proportions to appeal to different palates," says mixologist Desmond Nazareth from DesmondJi. We met Nazareth and fellow mixologist Conrad Braganza before their interactive workshop that demonstrated the cocktail's versatility at Mexican Margarita bar Amigos in Versova, Mumbai.

Popular versions
There are those who say that 'the perfect Margarita' must be made with the right proportions of Agave (a natural cocktail sweetener) spirit and orange liqueur because the liqueur enhances the flavour and bouquet of the cocktail without affecting its colour. Then again, there are those who prefer their Margarita to be a combination of Agave spirit and blue curacao with its sparkling blue colour.

Salted rim or not?
And then there's the matter of the salted rim. Many swear that a salted rim truly enhances the flavour of their Margarita; while there are others who insist on using a combination of salt and sugar in equal proportions. And still others that don't like any salt at all! It's a toss-up, so take your pick.

Fruit Margaritas
A well-liked version of this cocktail is the fruit Margarita. "There are any number of fruits that can be combined with Agave spirits to create a series of heady Margaritas," says Braganza. However, the secret to making the perfect fruit Margarita lies in using fresh fruits. So, with the help of an electric blender you can puree any fresh fruit — strawberries, pears, pineapples, blueberries, raspberries or bananas — to enhance the flavour of the Margarita and create a unique cocktail to tickle your individual palate.
