Descrição
Resumo:In this paper, we will focus on the edition and study of a small bunch of Sephardic primary sources – written in Judeo-Spanish –, and providing us with remarkable information about gastronomic life of the Bulgarian Sephardim in the beginning of the 20th century. We will deal with advertisements published in the Sofia weekly newspaper El Eco ĵudaïco in 1901, which deal with restaurants, cafeterias, and groceries. In addition, we will pay attention to those contents concerning food and beverages, found in pedagogical works containing specific glossaries and/or micro-dialogues, such as the Nueva metoda práctica de estudio de la lengua búlgara by Ya‘acob A. Gadol (Varna 1893, reed. Ruse 1894); Daniel Mefanov’s Малко словарче на френско-българско-еврейски език (Sofia 1896), and Alḅert Pipano’s Diccionario j́udeo-español-búlgaro (Sofia 1913). Throughout all these texts – belonging to what we could name as ‘everyday life’s literature’ – we will approach Bulgarian Sephardim’s daily life inside the Slavic milieu, in the concrete domain of dietary customs, so important in the Jewish cultural world.
