Another entry in the "Build a Better Burger Contest" sponsored by the
North American Vegetarian Society.
Since entering the contest, the contestant has reworked his recipe,
eliminating the green peppers and green beans, reducing the rolled
oats to 1/2 cup, adding 1/2 cup corn meal, and replacing the seasoned
salt and vegetable broth with tamari, dijon mustard, tarragon, basil
and parsley.
The recipe was entered in the contest without the vegan yeast cheese.

The History of Recipes
We can read the history of `recipes` way back into the distant past, at least as far back into recorded history as the Egypt of the Pharoahs, and quite possibly further than that. Interesting though that maybe, these, early records were just very basic pictorial, hieroglyphic or cunieform recipes for meal preparation.
In fact, the oldest recipe found, according to Professor Solomon Katz, is a series of tablets in the Sumerian language which recount the baking of bread which is then used to make a drink, quite possibly a form of beer as it is recorded as making drinkers feel wonderful. Later on, there are a couple of interesting books published in the fourteenth century - a recipe book called `Forme of Cury`, and another, similary called `Curye on Inglish`. Although the titles sound familiar, these books have no connection with the curry that is familiar to us all today, but instead accounts of the types of meals served to the rich and wealthy people of the time. Later on in the 1400s, the Crusaders brought back many foods and spices from the Middle-East, including spices like coriander, parsley, and basil. The introduction of these new herbs and spices created an outbreak in manuscripts on food, most of which are kept safe in private cookery archives. For the next few years, the powerful families of the West competed with each other to serve up the most extravagent banquests, and as a result the best chefs and their recipes were highly sought after. Even so, it wasn`t until the 1800s that formal cookery and recipe books reached a high level of popularity. Mrs Isabella Beeton in the UK, and the equally famous Fannie Farmer in the US, dedicated their lives to assembling, testing, and recording popular recipes of the day. By the advent of the twentieth century, recipe books are in high demand, as a result of increased literacy, people having increased free time and being a little richer. The introduction of the TV brought us cooking programs and the demand for the spin-off recipe books. Which pretty much brings us to the present day and the invention of the internet, allowing everyone to search through thousands of recipes just like those on this web site. |
We hope you enjoy this Popeye Burger recipe.
