The Dutch tradition of "Dropping" involves leaving children aged 8 to 15 in remote areas at night to foster independence, teamwork, and resilience. Equipped with maps and flashlights, they navigate back to a meeting point under adult supervision. Critics voice concerns about its demands, but proponents highlight its safety and educational value. As urbanization rises, Droppings remind us of the importance of self-reliance and outdoor skills in childhood development. #Dropping #DutchTradition #ChildDevelopment #Teamwork #OutdoorAdventure

The Evolution of Handshaking

The Evolution of Handshaking Handshaking dates back to Ancient Greece, symbolizing trust and equality since the 5th century BC. Initially a gesture of mutual respect, it evolved from a means to show peaceful intentions in a time of swords. While common in Western culture, greetings vary globally, with alternatives like bowing in Japan and elbow bumps during the COVID-19 pandemic. The handshake remains a significant social gesture, reflecting trust and cooperation. After researching all sorts of archaeological ruins, Western scientists have declared that the practice of handshaking was used as far back as Ancient Greece and, more specifically, as early as the 5th century BC. Historians have found images on ancient pots that show, for example, how people touch hands when making deals. For thousands of years, the handshake has symbolized trust and equality. In ancient times, the gesture was used between people of equal status, showing mutual respect and willingness to cooperate. The traditional handshake as we know it in the 21st century is thought to have come from a time when people often used swords in battle. People carried them in a sheath on their left side, meaning they could pull the weapon out with their right hand if necessary. Thus, the traditional shaking of the right hand became a friendly greeting - as it proved that two people came in peace and did not plan to take up arms. The handshake was also a sign of trust: a person believed that his interlocutor would not draw his sword for battle. Western manners expert William Hanson explains, 'A handshake shows that you have not harmed anyone. This is important today because it is a sign of social trust.' Thus, it is not only in politics that one can observe status people shaking hands as a sign of respect: players do not often shake hands before sporting matches, and the same business people shake hands before and after meetings. However, sometimes, people avoid shaking hands out of disrespect and prefer a different greeting. For example, at the third and last US televised debate in October 2016, presidential candidates Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton did not shake hands. Although the handshake is probably the most common greeting, it's not the traditional way in every country. William Hanson explains, 'In Japan, for example, they bow, and in other Asian countries - Thailand, for example - they do namaste.' Namaste is when the person greeting usually says 'Namaste' to the other by putting their hands together and slightly bowing. In some Middle Eastern countries, shaking hands is done, but not as firmly as is customary in the West. In China, the handshake is usually lighter and can last up to 10 seconds. In other countries, such as France, you may also be kissed on the cheek to say hello or goodbye. Another way is the 'Elbow Bump' ('elbow touch'). In recent years, especially during the COVID-19 pandemic, elbow touching has become a popular alternative to shaking hands. This gesture maintains social distance and minimizes the risk of transmitting infections while remaining friendly. #handshake #trust #greetings #culturalexchange #history

A Taste of Southern Italy: Ragù alla Pugliese
3K views · Jan 30, 2025 humix_publisher_525837
In Apulia—just like in other parts of Italy—stews and sauces are most often made with various portions of meat: pork and veal, chicken, rabbit, lamb, or even a selection of game meat. Traditionally, ragù alla Pugliese is made with chicken, beef, pancetta, and pork sausage. Still, after hours of slow simmering, your ragù will taste just as good, possibly even better, made with pork, veal, or lamb alone. In fact, when made with lamb alone, it is called ragù del Pastore (lit. shepherd's sauce). This variant uses more red pepper, which imparts a nice piquant heat to the dish. Both sauces are served over pasta, most typically orecchiette, and they are often enjoyed with a good sprinkle of castrato Pugliese or pecorino cheese. Ragù alla Pugliese is a hearty meat sauce from the Puglia region in southern Italy. Here's a basic recipe for you to try: Ingredients: 500g pork shoulder, diced 300g beef chuck, diced 1 large onion, finely chopped 2 carrots, finely chopped 2 celery stalks, finely chopped 2 cloves of garlic, minced 1 cup of red wine (preferably a local Puglian wine like Primitivo) 2 cups of tomato passata or canned tomatoes, crushed A handful of fresh basil, torn 1 sprig of rosemary Salt and pepper to taste Olive oil for cooking Instructions: Preparation: Mix olive oil in a large, heavy-bottomed pot over medium heat. Add the onions, carrots, and celery, cooking until they are soft and translucent, about 10 minutes. Add garlic towards the end to avoid burning. Brown the Meat: Increase the heat to medium-high, and add the diced pork and beef to the pot. Cook until the meat is well browned on all sides. This adds a lot of flavor to the ragù. Deglaze: Pour in the red wine, scraping the bottom of the pot to lift any stuck bits. Let the wine reduce by half; this step enriches the sauce with deep flavors. Simmer: Add the tomato passata or crushed tomatoes. Stir well to combine. Toss in the rosemary and half of the basil—season with salt and pepper. Cook Low and Slow: Reduce heat to low, cover the pot partially to allow some steam to escape, and let it simmer for at least 2-3 hours. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking. The longer it cooks, the more flavor it will develop. If the sauce becomes too thick, you can add a bit of water or stock. Finish: Remove the rosemary sprig once the meat is tender, and the sauce has thickened to your liking. Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary. Stir in the remaining basil just before serving. Serve: This sauce is traditionally served with orecchiette pasta, also from Puglia, but it goes well with any robust pasta like pappardelle or even polenta. Remember, like many traditional recipes, there's no one "right" way to make Ragù alla Pugliese. Variations might include different meats, the addition of sausage, or even some chili for a bit of heat. Enjoy your cooking! :#Puglia, #ItalianCuisine, #Ragù, #HomeCooking, #Foodie
