A Bakers Dozen?!


Question: A Bakers Dozen!?
How many are there in a bakers dozen!?Www@FoodAQ@Com


Answers:
There are 14 items in a bakers dozen!. A normal has 12 but the 13th is usually because the person who was eating the food was important and made a person test it first to make sure that it was not posionous or that there was nothing wrong with it!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

The Bakers Dozen is a group that's passionate about baking!. Members include professionals, home bakers, and just about anyone who loves baking or wants to get started!. The Bakers Dozen shares its collective knowledge and experience through educational and networking events!. It is also committed to sharing the money realized from membership fees and payments for attending seminars with food-related and other charities!.

The Bakers Dozen was founded in California in 1989 by cookbook author and teacher Marion Cunningham and then-bakery-owner Amy Pressman!. Whenever Marion traveled to Southern California, where Amy's bakery was, the two would spend hours discussing various baking ideas, problems, and techniques!. Eventually they decided that if they learned so much about baking from their casual meetings, other bakers would appreciate the opportunity to discuss the pleasures and mysteries of baking, too!. Several months later, the first meeting took place in San Francisco and The Bakers Dozen officially came into being!.

The oldest known source and most probable origin for the expression "baker's dozen" dates to the 13th century in one of the earliest English statutes, instituted during the reign of Henry III (r!. 1216-1272), called the Assize of Bread and Ale!. Bakers who were found to have shortchanged customers could be liable to severe punishment!. To guard against the crude punishment of losing a hand to an axe, a baker would give 13 for the price of 12, to be certain of not being known as a cheat!. Specifically, the practice of baking 13 items for an intended dozen was to prevent "short measure", on the basis that one of the 13 could be lost, eaten, burnt or ruined in some way, leaving the baker with the original dozen!. The practice could be seen in the guild codes of the Worshipful Company of Bakers in London!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
