<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial;">Hello to
Peter and all other Lowlanders.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial;">I'd like to
know the derivation of the Norwegian "ort" before we link it to a
"quart". The "quart" is simply an abbreviation of
"quarter" being a quarter of a gallon or 2 pints in the Imperial
system of measuring liquid. From it comes the Australian "quart pot"
which is the same as a "billycan" used to boil water to make tea in
the Australian bush - such as the swagman boiled before the jumbuck came to the
waterhole, whereupon the squatter rode down with the troopers one, two and
three.</span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: "Courier New";" lang="DE">das Problem hatte ich auch! Einer meiner ältesten
Nachbarn und liebsten Mentoren (sehr konservativ, eher low-educated und
sicher kein gourmet) hatte mir vor einigen Jahren den Tipp gegeben, zu einem
bestimmten Gericht (Suppe???) auf alle Fälle Ingwer zur Würze zu verwenden. Ich
war erstaunt - in unserer Region ist sicherlich alles andere, aber nicht primär
haute-cuisine angesagt. Ergo: Ingwer (getrocknet!!; kenn' ich auch schon seit
Kindheit) scheint in Norddeutschland schon eine längere Zeit recht verbreitet;
vermutlich ein Resultat der Hanse.</span><span style="font-size: 11pt;" lang="DE"></span></p>

Wasser, wie wir es bis in die 60er Jahre des 20. eeuws nahezu ausschließlich
hatten, schmecke die Erbsensuppe einfach besser *g*!</span><span style="font-size: 11pt;" lang="DE"></span></p>
