英语词汇praline的起源、历史背景-英语词源词典

praline. César Du Plessis-Praslin, marshal of France and, later, duc de Choiseul, got heartburn from eating almonds but couldn’t resist them, one story goes. So his servant suggested that he have his chef brown the almonds in boiling sugar to make them more digestible and voila!—the praline. But an- other story says that sugar-coated praline candy was named for Praslin when he had his cook prepare something special for King Louis XIV, the field marshal’s dinner guest one night. More likely, pralines were invented by Praslin’s man as one of the many culinary triumphs that all chefs vied with each other to produce in the 17th century. At first they were called praslins and in time the spelling was altered to pralines. The comte Du Plessis-Praslin, who put down a revolt of the nobles in 1649 and may have served Louis pralines, became Louis XIV’s minister of state in 1652 and was later rewarded with the title of duke for which he had politicked so long. He died in 1675, aged 77, a silver tray of pralines, or praslins, no doubt at his side.
