Unknown and useful digestive. What it is?

It happens that a person often uses a particular product in his life and does not even guess his real properties. Take, for example, digestiv. What is this word and what does it refer to?

Food with benefit

Everyone knows that there are incompatible products and those that perfectly fit together. There is also another situation: getting into the body, one of them either neutralizes the other, or strengthens its effect. But there is a third option. One of the products, entering the stomach together with food, causes it to immediately decay into the smallest particles, that is, to be digested. It is called digestive.

What is this component? It acts as a stimulant to action or a kind of catalyst for the digestive process. This property is undoubtedly very useful. It turns out that the "smart" unknown ingredient makes food not lie in the stomach, but quickly leave it, leaving on the way all that is necessary and useful for the organism. As a result, a person feels a surge of energy and pleasant lightness in the whole body. Now it is clear that some products are inherently digestive, that it is they who are the voluntary assistants of a person.

Title History

Many products and even dishes have talking names. Some of them are of domestic origin, but more often these are words borrowed from other languages. In this case, that's exactly the way it is. If you use an interpreter from Latin, it becomes clear, if we talk about digestive, that this is a special means that contributes to the process of digestion.

By the way, it has the same importance for the French. Even in medieval France, people knew a lot about such matters. After a plentiful feast the chef necessarily served a sweet drink, prepared on the basis of wine with the addition of various spices. Nowadays it is called "cocktail". Hence it is clear that the "unusual assistant" is not a pill, not a medicine and not even a food supplement. By its nature it is the same food as the rest. It simply has an amazing ability to have a positive effect on the human body at the right time. It should be noted that it is necessary to use it during the meal or immediately after it. Then the result will not be long in coming.

Unity of Opposites

Good cooks know how to get a person to eat a lot, with an appetite and not suffer after all this from unpleasant sensations. The secret is simple: there must be an aperitif and digestive on the table. The meanings of these words have a fundamental difference, but the "dishes" related to these groups are one in one: they benefit the person. To begin with it is necessary to specify, that the aperitif is a product intended for excitation of appetite. Most often it's a drink. It performs a number of useful and useful functions:

• Quench thirst;
• Promotes abundant secretion of gastric juice;
• Adjusts the body to food.

In the role of an aperitif can serve juice, champagne (or any other wine) or any other alcohol. By its structure, aperitifs are:

1) Single, which consist of one drink.

2) Combined. This is when several different drinks are served simultaneously and the visitor can choose any one suitable for himself.

3) Mixed. In this case, several drinks are combined in a certain ratio.

Aperitif can not be sweet or hot and always served just before meals. In contrast, digestive is served at the end of the feast. It is usually stronger than the previous drink and is intended to put an end to the meal and correspond to the next dessert. It is generally accepted that for aperitifs you should choose light beverages, and for digestives, dark ones.

Do not break it

To break the rule of etiquette is criminal. Correctly organized feast is like a good song. First, you prepare, adjust, and then you can not tear yourself away, and you want more. One young musician took this principle for himself as a rule. A striking confirmation of this is his song "Madness". Dizhestiv is his stage name. Truly speaking the name.

His works are well listened to in the circle of friends, slowly enjoying. Everything is like eating. After all, it's nice to have a nice cocktail in a good company, watching the new dishes appear on the table, and it gradually becomes more desirable. The light taste of the aperitif literally merges with the flying aromas in the air and there is an irresistible desire to quickly take your place at the table.

During the meal, the drinks should complement and favorably emphasize the taste of each dish. At the end of the feast, it is customary to serve dessert. Here comes the time digestivov. A crowded body wants to have the last pleasure. Here it is necessary to think through every detail. A couple of centuries ago it was accepted in society after a hearty dinner or a dinner party to spend time in a friendly conversation over a glass of good cognac. It can also be whiskey, brandy, fortified wine (such as port wine) or liquor. In any case, an upbeat mood, a pleasant aftertaste and good digestion are guaranteed.

Flour for digestive

Indeed, liquor is an excellent option for completing the meeting. Its pleasant taste, tonic and relaxing effect well correspond to a peaceful conversation.

Not bad options in this case will be the famous Irish "Sheridan". It consists of two parts and is poured into the glass simultaneously with layers. At the bottom you can put a piece of ice. You can drink this drink with your usual sips or with a tube. As you like.

If you drink it in one gulp, then there is the opportunity to feel the whole bouquet of tastes well. First, a mixture of vanilla and chocolate component creates a feeling like drinking coffee and cream. Then the mouth has an aftertaste with a pronounced nutty note. Divine sensation! It can be pleasantly supplemented if you use the right snacks. To such a drink, ice cream, chocolate, sweet pastries or cookies are perfect. Dizhestiv in this situation will replace dessert. It will be original and delicious.
