Black Velvet Apricot Tellicherry Jam

[fatehbaz]

Endangered Indian sandalwood. British war to control the forests. Tallying every single tree in the kingdom. European companies claim the ecosystem. Spices and fragrances. Failure of the plantation. Until the twentieth century, the Empire couldn't figure out how to cultivate sandalwood because they didn't understand that the plant is actually a partial root parasite. French perfumes and the creation of "the Sandalwood City".

---

Selling at about $147,000 per metric ton, the aromatic heartwood of Indian sandalwood (S. album) is arguably [among] the most expensive wood in the world. Globally, 90 per cent of the world’s S. album comes from India [...]. And within India, around 70 per cent of S. album comes from the state of Karnataka [...] [and] the erstwhile Kingdom of Mysore. [...] [T]he species came to the brink of extinction. [...] [O]verexploitation led to the sandal tree's critical endangerment in 1974. [...]

---

Francis Buchanan’s 1807 A Journey from Madras through the Countries of Mysore, Canara and Malabar is one of the few European sources to offer insight into pre-colonial forest utilisation in the region. [...] Buchanan records [...] [the] tradition of only harvesting sandalwood once every dozen years may have been an effective local pre-colonial conservation measure. [...] Starting in 1786, Tipu Sultan [ruler of Mysore] stopped trading pepper, sandalwood and cardamom with the British. As a result, trade prospects for the company [East India Company] were looking so bleak that by November 1788, Lord Cornwallis suggested abandoning Tellicherry on the Malabar Coast and reducing Bombay’s status from a presidency to a factory. [...] One way to understand these wars is [...] [that] [t]hey were about economic conquest as much as any other kind of expansion, and sandalwood was one of Mysore’s most prized commodities. In 1799, at the Battle of Srirangapatna, Tipu Sultan was defeated. The kingdom of Mysore became a princely state within British India [...]. [T]he East India Company also immediately started paying the [new rulers] for the right to trade sandalwood.

British control over South Asia’s natural resources was reaching its peak and a sophisticated new imperial forest administration was being developed that sought to solidify state control of the sandalwood trade. In 1864, the extraction and disposal of sandalwood came under the jurisdiction of the Forest Department. [...] Colonial anxiety to maximise profits from sandalwood meant that a government agency was established specifically to oversee the sandalwood trade [...] and so began the government sandalwood depot or koti system. [...]

From the 1860s the [British] government briefly experimented with a survey tallying every sandal tree standing in Mysore [...].

Instead, an intricate system of classification was developed in an effort to maximise profits. By 1898, an 18-tiered sandalwood classification system was instituted, up from a 10-tier system a decade earlier; it seems this led to much confusion and was eventually reduced back to 12 tiers [...].

---

Meanwhile, private European companies also made significant inroads into Mysore territory at this time. By convincing the government to classify forests as ‘wastelands’, and arguing that Europeans would improves these tracts from their ‘semi-savage state’, starting in the 1860s vast areas were taken from local inhabitants and converted into private plantations for the ‘production of cardamom, pepper, coffee and sandalwood’.

---

Yet attempts to cultivate sandalwood on both forest department and privately owned plantations proved to be a dismal failure. There were [...] major problems facing sandalwood supply in the period before the twentieth century besides overexploitation and European monopoly. [...] Before the first quarter of the twentieth century European foresters simply could not figure out how to grow sandalwood trees effectively.

The main reason for this is that sandal is what is now known as a semi-parasite or root parasite; besides a main taproot that absorbs nutrients from the earth, the sandal tree grows parasitical roots (or haustoria) that derive sustenance from neighbouring brush and trees. [...] Dietrich Brandis, the man often regaled as the father of Indian forestry, reported being unaware of the [sole significant English-language scientific paper on sandalwood root parasitism] when he worked at Kew Gardens in London on South Asian ‘forest flora’ in 1872–73. Thus it was not until 1902 that the issue started to receive attention in the scientific community, when C.A. Barber, a government botanist in Madras [...] himself pointed out, 'no one seems to be at all sure whether the sandalwood is or is not a true parasite'.

Well into the early decades of twentieth century, silviculture of sandal proved a complete failure. The problem was the typical monoculture approach of tree farming in which all other species were removed and so the tree could not survive. [...]

The long wait time until maturity of the tree must also be considered. Only sandal heartwood and roots develop fragrance, and trees only begin developing fragrance in significant quantities after about thirty years. Not only did traders, who were typically just sailing through, not have the botanical know-how to replant the tree, but they almost certainly would not be there to see a return on their investments if they did. [...]

---

The main problem facing the sustainable harvest and continued survival of sandalwood in India [...] came from the advent of the sandalwood oil industry at the beginning of the twentieth century. During World War I, vast amounts of sandal were stockpiled in Mysore because perfumeries in France had stopped production and it had become illegal to export to German perfumeries. In 1915, a Government Sandalwood Oil Factory was built in Mysore. In 1917, it began distilling. [...] [S]andalwood production now ramped up immensely. It was at this time that Mysore came to be known as ‘the Sandalwood City’.

Neighbor Series: Ch. 4 Part 1

A Delicate Ecosystem

Carmy and Syd are moving along like a couple of precious baby sloths. However, people are beginning to talk. Will it destroy the vibes between them or with the restaurant crew? Here's part 1.

"Carmen…is that tellicherry pepper?"

Sydney closed her eyes savoring the egg muffin stuffed with prosciutto, aged parmesan, basil and delicately seasoned with sea salt and ground tellicherry pepper. She was in foodie paradise and had paused on the sidewalk to fully enjoy this treat.

"Oh, you like that, huh?" Carm answered having his own special moment watching her enjoy his food. Ever since they started their planned, instead of "coincidental" walks to work he sometimes made a handheld breakfast.

He took a bite of one his muffins and yes, it was something.

They resumed walking and just before entering The Bear, Carmy offered Sydney the last one.

She greedily eyed the muffin, but shook her head.

"No, you've had like one and I had three!"

"Hey, Sydney, I'll take it!"

Fak came bouncing towards them, his hand outstretched.

"No, I made it for HER, Fak. Besides, I can smell peanut butter from here. You've eaten."

Sydney laughed and went inside stuffing the last muffin in her mouth.

"Carm, this isn't a nice side of you. This is totally Stranger Things season 1. Don't forget your old friends!"

"What?!"

"Sydney is Eleven, you're Mike (on the show, not your brother), and I'm Lucas, who've you tossed aside for girl!"

Carmen who only watched cooking shows and for whom this stupid conversation was far too early, rubbed his eyes.

"Fak, why are you here so early?"

"Natalie asked me to come in to fix the to-go window. The rubber casing is coming off."

"Well go do that."

"Okay, but you're totally Mike."

For lunch it was Tina's turn to prepare family service and it was incredible. She made her family recipe, monfongo with shrimp.

A golden silence fell on the crowded break room as everyone ate gratefully. Everyone except Carmy and Sydney. They had taken their monfongo to a booth in the front to discuss an offer to be featured on a popular food tour's fine dining route. It would be a financial loss upfront because they'd have to open an hour early on tour dates to accommodate the groups. Also, they would have to serve them small versions of signature dishes at a price that would at best break even. However, food tours were excellent marketing. Often culinary enthusiasts and tourists look up food tour guides to plan their dining experiences and skip the tour part altogether. Normally, Natalie would have joined them, but she was working remote 3 days a week to be at home with her baby.

In the break room Richie primly wiped his mouth, checked his sharply pressed dress pants for crumbs and washed his hands. Ever since he staged at Ever he'd become fastidious with his clothing, hygiene, and helped Natalie with HR concerns...in his own way. The crew jokingly called him Mr. Richard now. Then he went to look for Carmen. Uncle Cicero had messaged him with a request they cater his cousin's daughter's engagement party next month and complained that Carm hadn't replied to his texts all morning.

He found them unnecessarily close in a booth that could easily fit 4 people. Sydney sat facing forward explaining something on one of the many papers spread out before them. Carm was nearly in her lap, sitting at 90 degree angle towards her, his left arm on the table boxing her in, looking intently at her profile instead of the paper. He must of said something funny because Sydney looked up at him and began laughing. Then to top off this gorgeous scene he pointed to an invisible speck of food on her chin and gently brushed it off with his thumb.

For a whole minute Richie stood there wondering when they would see him. This situation was getting rapidly getting out of hand. He had long since clocked that Carmen had a crush on Sydney. It had somewhat faded during the Claire era, but it reemerged stronger than ever afterwards. As one of the few real adults in charge, he knew that he would have to reign things in. The one time Sydney quit Carmy had almost let The Beef burn down. If this puppy love imploded…Richie didn't even want to think about it.

He walked right up to the booth and they finally noticed him.

"Hey Rich, what's up" Carmy asked.

"Uncle Cicero has been texting you and asked if you could call him. Now preferably."

"Alright. Sydney, we'll finish this later?"

Sydney nodded and said she needed to check with Marcus about the featured dessert special tonight. Carmy took their plates and went to the back to call Uncle Cicero. As she started to get up Richie beckoned her to sit down. He was silent for a moment. A long moment. Sydney leaned back and folded her arms. The new Richie was far more competent and tolerable to work with, but their personalities still clashed on occasion. It was fun sometimes. She wondered what lecture he had prepared for her today.

"Got something on your mind Richie?"

Richie smiled benevolently.

"Sydney, you are invaluable to the team. You put in the time, you know almost as much as Carmen about culinary stuff and you've got passion. Too much sometimes, but nobody's perfect."

"Uh…I appreciate that I guess".

"However-"

'Here it comes" Sydney said grinning.

"We have a delicate ecosystem here and the key player in this ecosystem is Carmy. If anything or anyone is a big enough distraction the whole thing could be wiped out."

Sydney rolled her eyes.

"What are you talking about?"

"Look, you're a smart girl. It's obvious that Carmy has thing for you and it looks like it might be mutual. If you start screwing him and things fall apart, how do think he's going handle it? It we stay on track we might be able to pay off Cicero early. If NOT, then we could all be screwed and not in the good way. Would you keep the shop closed at least until then?"

Sydney folded her hands on the table and considered how to respond. She could curse him out for being a misogynistic, tactless moron or she could ignore him. She decided on the latter. There was no reason to taint an otherwise great day.

"Well, Richie I've thought seriously about what you said and if you ever come to me with this again you might get a matching scar on your other butt cheek."

With her most serene smile she stood up gathering her papers and glided through the kitchen doors.

Richie shook his head. Well, he tried to warn her.

@loztearsofthementallyill Spice obsessed Kaveh is what keeps me alive so here is a few headcanons.

• Cried the first time he tried Liyuean Cuisine because it was actually up to his standards.

• Whenever Al Haitham cooks dinner he surrounds the guy with random spice containers to hunt to him to PUT SPICE IN THE FOOD FOR ONCE YOU UNCULTURED SWINE OF A MAN but he never does and it pains him.

• Carries a tiny bag with him, and all it holds is just a bunch of glass vials consisting of Aji Amarillo Chile powder, Vadouvan Powder, Paprika, Thai ginger salt, and Tellicherry Peppercorns, specifically the black ones.

• this assortment changes every other day.

• If he doesn’t like you the only kind of spice he will put in your food is salt, with a hint of grinded up arsenic for murder purposes.

100 baat ki ek baat:

"A section of the state’s Christian leaders, especially those affiliated with the Oriental Catholic Church segment of the broader Syro-Malabar Church, do not seem averse to establishing closer ties with the Sangh Parivar, both for economic and ideological reasons.

A better price for rubber would benefit the plantation owners of central Kerala who are largely Catholics (largely rich, massive land owners), and then there are those in the community — both in the priesthood and among the laity — who share the Sangh Parivar’s Islamophobia and are in agreement with it on discredited ideas such as “Love Jihad”.

---

That is cheap bargaining politics (The Archbishop of Tellicherry, Mar Joseph Pamplany, promised to back the BJP in the Lok Sabha polls in 2024 if it increased the minimum support price (MSP) of natural rubber to ₹300). He has lost his senses. I have known him for a long time; earlier, he was logical. Now he is making illogical statements on everything ranging from “Love Jihad” to rubber prices. Who is he to decide the political preference of Christian farmers? I, too, had been involved in many farmers’ agitations.

Everybody knows how the Union government’s Exim policies have caused the price of natural rubber to fall. Instead of protesting those policies, these Church leaders are trying to allow a foothold to hate politics in the state.

In Manipur and other states, Christians are getting targeted by the Sangh Parivar. Their faith is at stake. Their life and properties are under constant threat. Here in Kerala, the leadership is forgetting everything. They are spreading fear and invoking the tool of discipline to silence dissent. We have to break our silence. It’s a historic duty."

st. thomas would be fucking ashamed of you lot. not just for this but for every slimy fucking thing you do to consolidate your supposed 'purity' of faith. you have nothing but my scorn. you get by unnoticed, but i know the scum you are.

Why is Tellicherry Black pepper considered to be the best type of black pepper?

Tellicherry black pepper is often considered one of the finest and highest quality varieties of black pepper. Here are several reasons why it is regarded as superior by many:

Size: Tellicherry peppercorns are larger than those from other regions. The larger size is often associated with a more developed flavor profile and a greater depth of aroma.

Flavor Complexity: Tellicherry pepper is known for its complex flavor profile. It is described as having a robust, bold, and fruity taste with hints of citrus. The pepper flavor is believed to be more nuanced compared to other types.

Maturity at Harvest: Tellicherry peppercorns are harvested later in the season, allowing them to fully ripen on the vine. This extended ripening period contributes to the development of more intense and sophisticated flavors.

Growing Conditions: Tellicherry pepper comes from the Malabar Coast of India, particularly from the region of Tellicherry (Thalassery) in Kerala. The combination of the region's climate, soil, and other environmental factors is said to contribute to the unique characteristics of Tellicherry black pepper.

Harvesting Practices: The careful and selective harvesting of the largest peppercorns from the spikes is a traditional practice associated with Tellicherry pepper. This attention to detail is believed to contribute to the overall quality of the pepper.

It's important to note that taste preferences can be subjective, and what is considered the "best" pepper may vary from person to person. While Tellicherry black pepper is highly regarded, there are many other excellent varieties of black pepper with their distinctive characteristics. The choice of pepper often depends on individual taste preferences and the specific culinary application.

Black pepper's presence in everyday cooking has seen a resurgence as more people appreciate its culinary potential. Simple dishes like soups, salads, and roasted vegetables are elevated with a dash of freshly ground black pepper, giving them a delightful twist.

Recipes that once relied on routine spices have been rejuvenated by black pepper, adding a layer of complexity that enhances the overall dining experience.

Chefs are experimenting with black pepper, incorporating it into dishes from various culinary traditions. The result is a unique fusion of tastes that challenges conventional notions of flavor combinations.

Health Benefits and Culinary Appeal: Why Chefs and Home Cooks Are Embracing Black Pepper

In addition to its culinary appeal, black pepper offers potential health benefits. Piperine, the active compound in black pepper, possesses antioxidant properties, which play a role in combating harmful free radicals in the body. Furthermore, it may aid digestion by stimulating the secretion of digestive enzymes.

Chefs and home cooks are increasingly drawn to the idea of enhancing their dishes with ingredients that contribute to overall well-being. By incorporating black pepper, they can not only elevate the taste of their creations but also provide additional health benefits to their diners.

Exploring Black Pepper Varieties: Beyond the Ordinary

To fully appreciate black pepper's versatility, one must explore the diverse varieties available. Tellicherry, Malabar, and Sarawak are some of the popular black pepper varieties, each offering unique characteristics that cater to specific preferences.

Tellicherry black pepper is known for its large, robust berries and complex flavor profile. Malabar black pepper, on the other hand, is milder and fruitier, making it an excellent choice for delicate dishes. Sarawak black pepper boasts a rich, full-bodied taste with subtle earthy undertones, making it a favorite among chefs seeking bolder flavors.

Understanding these differences empowers cooks to select the ideal black pepper variety for each culinary creation.

The Art of Pairing: Black Pepper with Other Spices and Ingredients

The art of culinary pairing involves finding complementary flavors that harmonize beautifully on the palate. Black pepper's versatility makes it an ideal candidate for such culinary alchemy.

Whether used in traditional or experimental pairings, black pepper proves to be an exceptional team player in the kitchen. Its ability to enhance the flavors of various ingredients, without overpowering them, makes it an invaluable asset in crafting balanced and delectable dishes.

Chefs and home cooks can explore a world of exciting possibilities, combining black pepper with a vast array of herbs, spices, meats, and vegetables to create unforgettable taste experiences.

Tips for Choosing and Using Black Pepper

To fully appreciate the wonders of black pepper, selecting the right quality is crucial. Whole peppercorns retain their flavor and potency longer than pre-ground options, and freshly crushed pepper delivers the most vibrant taste.

Storing black pepper in an airtight container away from heat and light ensures that it retains its aroma and flavor. Additionally, experimenting with different grinds of black pepper can offer diverse sensory experiences, from a fine dusting to coarse bursts of flavor.

Conclusion:

Black pepper's journey from a kitchen staple to a rising star in culinary trends showcases its versatility and adaptability. As chefs and home cooks continue to experiment with this remarkable spice, the boundaries of flavor combinations are pushed further, elevating the art of cooking to new heights.

Embracing black pepper in both traditional and innovative ways empowers individuals to create exceptional dishes that captivate the senses and bring joy to every dining experience.
