Shakespeare Credited
For Valentine Sweets
By JEANNE LESEM
New York - (I'PD - Valen
tine's day used to be for the
birds. In the
Middle Ages,
our feathered
friends were
believed t o
choose their
mates on that
day. In the
18th century,
human love
birds in Eng
land who pre
Jeannt Litem
sented a Valentine's gift to a
girl were considered to be
proposing marriage.
For many years, lads and
lasses turned to magic to
learn their romantic fate and
win mates. Many of their cus
toms and superstitions in
volved food, herbs and spices.
So, I asked candy makers,
spice traders and produce
men to describe a few.
Gypsy Sorcery
For good measure, I'll
throw in some "Gypsy Sor
cery," from the newly pub
lished book of the same name,
by the late Charles Godfrey
Leland.
In 16th century England
young men gave their sweet
hearts tomatoes, called love
apples as tokens of affection.
In the Hebrides islands, off
Scotland's coast, young ladies
gave carrots to their favorite
young men on Sundays and at
dances.
Italian men believed that a
sprig of basil stuck in their
hair would win the affection
of their sweethearts. A Rou
manian girl thought she'd get
her man if he accepted a sprig
of basil from her hand.
According to a Pennsyl
vania Dutch superstition ,a
long spiral of apple peel
tossed over her shoulder
would form the initial of a
girl's husband-to-be.
Apple Seeds
Apple seeds named for
beaux and stuck to a girl's
forehead were supposed to be
prophetic in an English super
stition. The last to fall off
identified the future husband.
Another English supersti
tion promised prophetic
dreams for girls under 21 if
they followed a complicated
ritual on St. Magdalen's eve
in an upper room of a house.
Each of three girls dipped
MAIL TRIBUNE. MEDFORD,
a sprig of rosemary into a
mixture of wine, rum, gin,
vinegar, and water, pinned on
the herb, and took three tiny
sips of the potion before fall
ing asleep in the same bed
without further conversation.
Green Thumb ,
A green tnumb was handy
with two gypsy charms. One
required planting an onion in
a clean new pot and chanting
the beloved's name and an
incantation over it thrice
daily.
In the other, cress or let
tuce seed was sown in the
form of a name in a garden.
If the plants grew well, the
planter was supposed to win
the love of the person named.
Transylvania gypsies made
a special herb-flavored cake
on St. George's day that was
said to reconcile enemies, in
crease the love of friends, and
work especially well as a love
charm.
Another gypsy cake, Ro
many morriclo, had a double-whammy-money
was baked
into it, no doubt increasing its
magic when a fair baker
threw the cake over a hedge
to the object of her affection.
