Vlad's Favorite Fruit(s)

Michi. How's it going?

Did Alucard have a favorite fruit when he was still human? I heard somewhere he liked sweet potatoes and I'm still wondering when Wallachia was introduced to that crop.

📍FYI: Doing better. Down to a couple more visits to PT and no need for surgery currently😁

I have decided Artsy's question to me is a great one! So hopefully it's okay I just blog it like an ask on Tumblr. I am suggesting a few that could have been a favorite and you decide.

All of these only the wealthy could afford and Vlad, I should have imagined eating a lot of these fruits as a guest. Wallachia was not a wealthy country compared to Hungary at the time.

📌Also note that Vlad died before Columbus 'discovered' America and such things as potatoes and cocoa. Hence in my Alucard stories, he doesn't understand the love of chocolate. He died before ever tasting it.

•Vlad would have had access to citrus fruit such as lemons and oranges through being a well treated political prisoner. He ate the same dishes of food as the young Mehmed would have. Vlad would have eaten them for his health versus the commoner use of rosehips. We now know citrus has vitamin C which helps with colds and such for the immune system.

"Oranges, lemons and citrons were traded at least from the 14th century onward. During the Middle Ages they were considered rare, exotic and healthy, if not curative, and were only available to the wealthiest."

(Note: Nostradamus brewed rosehip tea and gave it to plague victims to heal them. It is thought a reason he didn't get plague from his patients besides washing hands etc.)

•Pomegranates would be another as it is still considered an exotic fruit today for some. Some believe this is the fruit of the tree of knowledge and the Greeks associate it with Hades tricking Persephone.

•Plum desserts at Christmas time.

•Dates when other fruits are not available.

•Papanași with (Romanian cheese donuts) w/ warm fruit compote (Blueberries were only native to the Americas)

•Perhaps he tasted watermelon served by Sultan Mehmed as this fruit originated from Africa.

"From Egypt, the historical trail of watermelon must be gleaned from the likes of medical books, recipe collections, and religious codices. For example, Numbers 11:5 from the Bible references watermelon as one of the foods the Israelites longed for after leaving Egypt. Additionally, ancient manuscripts of Jewish Law record watermelon as one of the items to be tithed and set aside for distribution to priests and the poor."

🤔•But I think his favorite would most likely be fresh strawberries and sweet cream.

• Though the Viovode might have steered clear of consuming very much sugar. Supposedly the people of Europe had good teeth until the 'sweet salt' from the Crusades in the 11th century, was eaten instead of honey. He would have noticed the blackening teeth and going bad from those eating a large portion of sugar.

📍• I have left links with more in depth information for those that want to read more about.

"Fruit eaten fresh, dried or canned, accounted for an additional nutrition. Fruits were collected in the forests around the towns and villages along with the honey collected from hives. Sweet dessert fruit actually out of reach to the common people. South of Europe grew lemons, oranges, pomegranates, grapes and figs, in the north of Europe spread mainly apples, berries and pears. Other fruits eaten in Europe were plum, chestnut, peach, quince, almond, strawberry, cherry and walnut."

"Potatoes, tomatoes, peppers and corn, which are key components of the European kitchens of these days, as do tea, coffee, cocoa and tobacco, which are an essential component in the recreational activities of the European, Starting from the 18th century, were not known at all in medieval Europe. Potatoes, tomatoes, peppers, cocoa and tobacco were there just after the 16th century, after the discovery of the Americas, as well as tea and coffee imports to Europe from Asia began in the 16th century."
