The taste of autumn
2
The quince (Cydonia oblongata) is native to the
Caucasus and northern Persia, but cultivation
spread to the eastern Mediterranean basin. Many
suppose that the forbidden fruit of the Garden of
Eden was a quince. In Greek legend Helen of Troy
bribed Paris to award a quince to Aphrodite as
the prize in a beauty contest, starting the
Trojan War. Medieval cooks regarded the quince
as the most useful of fruits and spiced it with
pepper, ginger, cloves, cinnamon and nutmeg. At
medieval courts and banquets, nobles enjoyed
quince jelly for dessert cotignac in France,
cotogna in Italy, and carne de membrillo in
Spain, all still popular. In Tudor and Stuart
times, quince marmalade, wrapped in gold foil,
was regarded as an aphrodisiac.
