Sanmarinská kuchyně:
|
As San Marino is a microstate completely landlocked by Italy, Sammarinese cuisine is strongly similar to the Italian cuisine, especially that of the adjoining Emilia-Romagna and Marche regions. However, although partly based on a typical Mediterranean diet, it also draws on a richer eclectic cuisine and has a number of its own unique dishes and products. Local savoury dishes include fagioli con le cotiche, a Christmas bean and bacon soup; pasta e ceci, a chickpea and noodle soup with garlic and rosemary; nidi di rondine a baked pasta dish with smoked ham, beef, cheese, and a tomato sauce; and roast rabbit with fennel. There is also a dish found mostly in Borgo Maggiore called a Pieda, which is something similar to a Spanikopita, except it is in a pita, and instead of Feta cheese, it uses mozzarella. Also sometimes escarole is used instead of spinach. Sweets include a cake known as Torta Tre Monti ("Cake of the Three Mountains/Towers"), based on The Three Towers of San Marino and similar to a layered wafer cake covered in chocolate; Torta Titano, a layered dessert made with biscuit, hazelnuts, chocolate, cream and coffee, also inspired by San Marino's central mountain, Monte Titano; Bustrengo, a traditional Christmas cake made with honey, nuts and dried fruit; Verretta, a dessert made of hazelnuts, praline and chocolate wafers; Cacciatello, a dessert made with milk, sugar and eggs, similar to Crème caramel; and zuppa di ciliegie, cherries stewed in sweetened red wine and served on white bread. The region also produces a number of wines such as Brugneto and Tessano (cask-aged red wines) and Biancale and Roncale (still white wines). Its liqueurs include the aniseed-flavoured Mistrà, the truffle-flavoured Tilus and the herbal Duca di Gualdo. Externí odkazy editovat

Sheldon Manor:
 Sheldon Manor blízko anglického městysu Chippenham je nejstarší dosud obývané panství v hrabství Wiltshire. Datuje se až do dob saského osídlení Anglie. Objekt je z největší části ze 17. století a jedná se o chráněnou památku prvního stupně. Dějiny editovatThe medieval settlement of Sheldon, first mentioned in 803, no longer exists, having been deserted by 1582;[1] a 1976 survey confirmed its remains to lie to the rear of the Manor, which itself stands on the site of an older habitation known as "The Holloway".[2] The manor of Sheldon was granted to Sir William de Beauvilain in about 1180;[1] on his death, as a Norman, it was forfeit to The Crown as an escheat and then granted to the de Godarville family in 1231 by Henry III.[2] In 1250 it passed to Sir Geoffrey Gascelyn on his marriage to Joan de Godarville.[1] In 1424 the Manor was sold to Sir Walter Hungerford,[3] and after some time was eventually granted to Catherine Parr temporarily until the Hungerford heir achieved majority.[3] For many years, the property was tenanted until Sir Edward Hungerford sold the Manor in 1684 and in 1711 it was bought by William Norris, whose last survivor died in 1828.[3] In 1854 it was bought by Sir Gabriel Goldney, whose son lived there until 1911,[4] followed by the Bailey family.[3] From 1917 the Manor was owned by the Gibbs family[1] being Major Martin Anthony Gibbs (1916–1995), a former High Sheriff of Wiltshire, his wife Elsie Margaret Mary (b. 1922, née Hamilton-Dalrymple) and their six children.[5] In 1982, Mrs Gibbs published a historical and architectural account of the Manor.[6]  The Manor is now within the civil parish of Chippenham Without;[1] unbroken occupation since 1282 makes Sheldon Manor Wiltshire's longest continuously inhabited manor house.[7] It was granted Grade I listed building status by the Historic Building and Monuments Commission for England in 1960.[8] Architektura a starožitnosti editovatThe earliest parts of the structure are thought to be a window on the west side and the porch, dating back to the late 13th century.[8] Pevsner considered the porch to be "astounding, but much too big for the present house".[9] Most of the main structure, consisting of two and a half storeys, and of rubble stone and stone-tiled roofs, dates to c. 1659 when it was built for a Mr Forster, although some parts are earlier. Later additions date to post-1711 and improvements to c. 1911.[8] 
There is a small stone chapel in the grounds, believed to date to about 1450 and built by the Hungerford family for use by themselves and their servants. It has an east window with Perpendicular tracery.[9] After a long period of use as stables, it was restored in the twentieth century.[10] There is also a brick-built storehouse mounted on staddle stones to prevent incursion by rats.[2]
The Manor has collections of Nailsea glass, Persian saddlebags, porcelain and oak furniture, including an Elizabethan refectory table and chairs.[11] There are paintings by Tissot, David Teniers and Bassano, vases by William de Morgan and "an unusual collection of glass walking sticks."[12] Moderní doba editovatThe Manor was the first winner of AA/NPI Historic House Awards, for its "architectural integrity and warm welcome";[4] its gardens, which are open to the public although the house itself is not, include a notable rose garden, ancient yews, an arboretum and mulberry bushes.[4] It is a licensed venue for weddings[13] and hosts summer productions of Shakespeare and operas in its grounds.[14] It is also home to the Cleveland Bay Endeavour, a project to "conserve and promote" the Cleveland Bay horse, an endangered breed.[15] The owners of the house were described in 1988 by the New York Times as "... provid[ing] that essential ingredient so many historic buildings lack: a sense of continuity with the past and the feeling that Sheldon Manor is still a living organism, not an ancient relic."[12] In 1995, the Manor was used as the location for Uppercross in the BBC production Persuasion[16] and in 2008 for BBC One's Bonekickers.[14] Reference editovat
