!!!... Good start with lentils!!

Dopo una notte di gozzovigliamenti e drinks vari..(ehm..ehm..)oggi solo lenticchie?...sulla tavola imbandita non può mancare il piatto tradizionale: il cotechino con le lenticchie !
Solitamente, questo piatto viene servito a fine cena, addirittura dopo il dolce, allo scoccare della mezzanotte come augurio di fortuna e denaro per l’anno nuovo.
Nonostante zampone e lenticchie siano ormai un connubio inscindibile e presente nella tradizione natalizia di tutta Italia, ben pochi conoscono la history of these two foods.
The history of the knuckle, is inextricably linked to two men of great fame: Giovanni Pico della Mirandola, and Pope Julius II.
According to tradition was the year 1511, when troops of the warrior Pope Julius II, were besieging the town of Mirandola, faithful ally of the French. It is said that
Mirandola, in view of the city's, although not to let the enemy pigs, their major source of livelihood, killed them all.
The flash of genius was one of the great chefs of Pico, who suggested using the skin of the front legs of the pigs to keep the best meat and cook it at the time the retention is opportuno.Anche particularly complicated because the cook the chopped and mixed with a variety of spices. He was born
zampone! But the creativity of the cooks and butchers did not stop there, in fact, soon after, was created a new delight, this time stuffed in the guts of the pig: the sausage!
Over time, the knuckle and the sausage was lenticchia.In turn the truth would be truer to say that the lentil was approached the sausage / knuckle, just because this legume was consumed last year for a long time zampone.Pare before the invention of the fact that the custom of eating lentils , derives from an ancient "Ritual" are charged according to which eating this dish on the last day of the year, brought good luck and above all a lot of money.
In this regard, once was a tradition, last year, treat yourself to the purse full of lentils with the hope that then could be turned into gold coins.
Many will wonder at this point, why the lentils? In the opinion of many experts, was the similarity of their lentils with coins to dictate that this practice has continued over time for many years to this day ours.
