I suddenly remembered that one line from Desmond as Al Mualims daughter ask where Desmond was craving a cheese burger and Al Mualim sent Assassins to find it and it got me thinking so I searched up if it was possible but all I got were from the middle ages so I wanna know your take if a cheese burger can be made during that time

The Desmond is reborn as Al Mualim’s daughter post, the “I misunderstood the ask so now Al Mualim has a wife oops” follow up idea and its sequel, the “Eli POV”, for those curious.

Okay, so there’s a lot of variations of the cheeseburger. For the sake of analyzing if it’s possible to recreate a cheeseburger in 12th century Levant, let’s go for the ‘basics’:

Bun

Cheese that can be melted

Patty (ground beef)

Lettuce

Tomato

Onion

Pickles

Sauce

Let’s start with the parts that needs to be 'prepared':

Buns can easily be recreated with flour, yeast, milk, egg, sugar, salt and butter or oil. Sesame seed that will sprinkled on top is optional but can be gotten in Egypt since they seemed to have it during Ptolemaic period as ‘sesemt’.

Patty can be prepared using ground beef (I’m sure Al Mualim would have no problem getting novices/recruits to chop the beef enough for it to be grounded, good luck, you poor boys), salt, ground black pepper, egg and dry bread crumbs. The lost ancient port city of Muziris is said to have exported black pepper to Levant.

Salt for both the buns and patty is possible to get during that time as well. It’s gonna be expensive though XD

Now, for the other ingredients:

Lettuce – it’s originally farmed in ancient Egyptians so they can find this easily.

An onion variation/ancestor has been noted in Iran so they can contact Alamut for this.

Cucumber for the pickles is available in India and other East Asian countries so their best bet would be the Silk Road. Pickling would need vinegar which should be available already by that time (vinegar has been available since alcohol brewing has been a thing… maybe…) (this needs salt as well)

Tomato – They’d need to sail to America for this one. Time to get into contact with Ratonhnhaké:ton’s tribe, I guess. XD

The sauce though is a bit complicated. Cheeseburger usually use thousand island for the sauce but that would mean ketchup and mayonnaise. Ketchup needs tomato as well so… yeah. (of course, the sauce can be something else but then… it won’t be a classic cheeseburger if it’s not at least mayonnaise and homemade mayonnaise is… uuuhh… good luck, novices and recruits)

Now… the cheese…

American cheese is… well… sorta maybe impossible? XD

It would be too much to try and create even a Swiss or Cheddar cheese for this one so what will make or break this cheeseburger endeavor will be the cheese.

It needs to be a type of cheese that can be melted…

Or…

Well…

They do have the Apple so they can cheat it to learn how to make that kind of cheese themselves XD

What is Egyptian musk?

I'll say this up top: I would love to hear if you have any experience with Egyptian musk oils before 1980 (e.g., "My grandmother wore it in the 1950s") or if you've seen any documentation on Egyptian musk blends after "Ancient Egypt" (e.g., "In my reading, I've seen formulas going back to the 1800s"). I ran into a distinct historical gap here, within the scope of, you know, a tumblr post.

For the sake of clarity, let's capitalize Egyptian Musk, the fragrance blend, to differentiate it from "any musk (often civet) originating in Egypt," which you can also get.

A long while back, I had started trying to read up on what different musks were supposed to smell like. Siberian musk and China musk and white musk and black musk and red musk and blue musk and, and, and. Being neurodivergent, I get further into the weeds than most people might, and so you got a 1200-word deep-dive on modern synthetic musk. But along the way, I discovered that Egyptian Musk is not a single musk note; it's a distinct blend unto itself, and pretty much botanical. And I love that. I love the idea of a fragrance that's just an alchemy of plants suggesting the shape of musk, an olfactory sleight of hand.

The one I tried

After comparing some reviews a few months back, I decided that I would probably like Kuumba Made's. If I had known I would end up writing about this, I would have gotten a sample of Nemat's as well, which is supposedly more of a "typical Egyptian Musk" with its patchouli note. (I've heard that Auric Blends' popular Egyptian Goddess [1993] is actually an Egyptian Musk as well.) I don't smell patchouli at all in the Kuumba Made—rather, it has "notes of fresh water [?] and sanctifying sandalwood.”

On me, it's the softest, snuggliest sort-of-rose scent. I love roses in person, but the scent usually doesn't work very well on my skin—and yet this Egyptian Musk does, and in fact, it's so well-blended that I'm not even sure exactly what's in it. The balance shifts every time I wear it: sometimes I get sandalwood, sometimes vetiver, but rarely both at the same time. But it's always lovely. The only reason it's not my ~Signature Scent~ is because I am, in fact, a basic vanilla bitch, but it's very soothing, and it is in my top five Frequently Worn Fragrances. I'm curious, though—what are those "fresh water" notes, what's in this? Here’s the Fragrantica note pyramid for the Kuumba Made Egyptian Musk:

Ingredients:

Egypt

Musk

You see this a lot on Fragrantica note listings when Egyptian Musk is involved, like we're supposed to know what this is shorthand for—or maybe we're supposed to understand that it's a trade secret. Various sellers tend say theirs is a little different from everyone else's; user reviews will say, "I like this one more than that one; this one smells more like a traditional Egyptian Musk to me." What's our baseline here, though?

The ingredients of Egyptian Musk™

Amir Oud: A Brief History of Egyptian Musk Oils and Perfumes:

The typical Egyptian musk can be made from essential oils from home such as Frankincense, Myrrh, Cedarwood, Patchouli, Amber, Rose Petal, and Ambrette seed oil.  This will give you sort of an idea of the actual fragrance of the Egyptian musk. 

You may remember ambrette/musk mallow/annual hibiscus as the natural source of ambrettolide, a major synthetic musk; thus, ambrette is the most literal "musk" component of a modern Egyptian Musk. That said, most of the literal Musk From Egypt I've seen on offer has been civet, synthetic or otherwise.

But in addition to those notes, more than one seller offers (word for word, capital for capital), "Musky Vetiver and Myrrh, blended with sensual Patchouli and a hint of Rose," leaving out many of the other components. I'm not sure what's going on with the copypasta there (it's possible they're buying from a wholesale supplier who uses that description). But I'm 99% certain vetiver is in the Kuumba Made too, so let's consider that a typical ingredient as well.

The most complex formula I saw agrees with Amir Oud's, but this Zindoki.com version adds jasmine, "one drop of camphor," labdanum (you remember labdanum from amber accords), and "a deer musk or civet"—our Musk From Egypt. The Zindoki page also has the simplest characterization I saw: patchouli, rose, ambrette.

The various formulas I saw also had different proportions—some heavier on the rose and patchouli, some heavier on the frankincense and myrrh—and so, you can imagine how different one blend might smell from another. And that's before you start adding citrus top notes to fill out the pyramid, as some brands do. Nonetheless! A certain personality is taking shape.

And a number of articles and sellers claim that this personality is "Cleopatra." Allegedly, this was her favorite perfume. Which... I'm going to argue, no. Arguing literally, in a separate post that I am writing: the soft, subtle profile we're talking about here just does not match the pungent, spicy fragrances that historians and archaelogists are uncovering. In fact, Elena Vosnaki, who has written more about musk than I ever have or ever will in her multi-part musk series (NSFW photography), says,

Simply put, Egyptian musk does not originate in Egypt, but is simply a variant of a musk blend in which the clean, scrubbed-skin nuance is the dominant part.

And this is where I have to turn around and argue in the other direction. I get the general idea—Egyptian Musk belongs in a "soft and clean" category of scents, I'll agree with that. But it has a more specific character than just "a variant" of white dryer-sheet musk ("The laundry day feel is there"). I also think a blend with this cohesive a character, this widely used, had to come from somewhere, at some time. I'm just not sure when or where.

Where in spacetime does Egyptian Musk come from?

Short answer: As a traditional blend somewhere between today and Ancient Egypt? I don't know.

Long answer: As you would buy it today? New York in the 1980s.

Back to the Musk Series:

Famous examples in [modern] use include the perennial Narciso For Her, where the fractialised patchouli (keeping the cleaner aspects) and the synthetic white flowers are highlighted by the clean muskiness of the base and smoothed out by a recent amber molecule, Amberlyn, and a hint of honey. The Cuban born designer was inspired by an Egyptian musk oil he used to buy in New York City along his friend and muse Caroline Bessette-Kennedy. (It turns out it was Abdul Kareem's Egyptian Musk).

Now we're getting somewhere:

"I used to buy the stuff from head shops or sidewalk vendors in Harvard Square. About seven-odd years ago, I found a variation (by Abdul Kareem, which, the internet tells me, is an ’80s NYC-born scented-oil brand)"

According to Makeup Alley users, as of three years ago, you could buy the genuine article from an ebay seller (look at the Olfactoria review), but I don't see a Charlotte Vale now. There's only one listing at all, in fact, and Etsy searches don't seem to yield genuine Abdul Kareem results. That said, you might still be able to buy it in person; a number of users on Fragrantica and Makeup Alley mention buying Egyptian musk oils from shops and sidewalk vendors like the ones Fiorella Valdesolo mentions in the article—years ago, but you never know.

Now, what's interesting about the 1980s part is this:

Bargz: A Guide To Egyptian Musk And Egyptian Musk Products:

In the 1880s, scientist Albert Bauer discovered synthetic-derived fragrances that resemble musk ingredients. This synthetic approach gave way to laws in 1979 that protected musk deer and other animals from being hunted. 

I don't know who came up with what first, and what tradition may or may not have existed before 1980s NYC. But my guess is that Egyptian Musk shifted from Musk From Egypt With Additional Notes, Maybe, to our muskless frankincense-myrrh-patchouli-rose-ambrette sleight of hand today because of that ban, specifically. I don't know if Abdul Kareem was the first or simply the most popular, but that brand seems to have become the standard, the way that Coty's Chypre gave a name to an entire family of bergamot-labdanum-oakmoss fragrances.

Perfumes inspired by Egyptian Musk

And, much the way that Mitsouko was a peach-infused riff on Coty's Chypre, other fragrances have built off Abdul Kareem's Egyptian Musk in particular. Let's go back to that mention of Narciso Rodriguez. Apparently both Narciso Rodriguez For Her (creators: Christine Nagel and Francis Kurkdjian) (yes, that Francis Kurkdijan) and Sarah Jessica Parker's Lovely (Clement Gavarry and Laurent Le Guernec) are inspired by Egyptian Musk. I actually have samples of both of these—the NR For Her is a fresh decant, and the Lovely is, uh, from my random mall sample box. Hope it aged well!

This post is certainly long enough already, so I'll update on those later. But I can say, I've worn the Narciso Rodriguez twice and I do get a similarity.

Peppermint oil is an ardent choice for irritable bowel syndrome. It takes care of RBS and other digestive issues. It is one of the finest herb oils extracted from the peppermint shrub. It has other medical benefits as well.

Have we thought of how peppermint is cultivated?

When is it coming into existence?

Here is the answer to all the questions:

Peppermint – Hybrid Species:

Peppermint is a hybrid species of both water mint and spearmint. This shrub is being cultivated elsewhere in the world other than Europe and the Middle East. It was collected in England in 1753, and it was assumed to be a species, but it was confirmed to be a hybrid variety.

According to ecology, since it is a hybrid plant, it is sterile without any production of seeds and spreads its runners. The peppermint has an extraordinary flavour that enhances the taste of the products.

History of Peppermint:

There is a unique history behind peppermint. The name peppermint comes from a Latin root, Mentha, the root word for which is methanol. It signifies that it is an aromatic plant. It is one of the oldest herbs that has been used for cooking and medicine. It was first recognized and classified in the 1700s. Other countries that have used peppermint since ancient times include Rome, Greece, and Egypt.

Peppermint has been mentioned in religious texts as well.

The Story of Peppermint:

There is a small, exciting story about peppermint in Greek mythology. Persephone, the wife of the Greek god Hades, turned the nymph Minthe into a mint plant for seducing her husband.

Other than these stories, the Roman and Greek philosophers have mentioned the importance of peppermint in their books.

The demand for peppermint grew in the late 17th century, and production of this plant increased in the Middle East and England. Other Asian and Australian countries have also started to grow this plant commercially.

Varieties of Peppermint:

Two varieties of peppermint are used for commercial production: Black Mitcham and Todd’s Peppermint.

The black Mitcham has a pure version of peppermint oil in the leaves but is more susceptible to fungus. The other variety is the most commercially grown across the world.

The most commonly purchased is Japanese peppermint oil, which contains around 85% methanol, while English peppermint oil contains only 60–70% peppermint oil. The less methanol content is in the American peppermint, which is only 50%.

Uses of Peppermint:

Peppermint has varied uses in both cooking and medicine. Since the 1700s, peppermint has been used in cooking and also in sweets and candies as a flavor. The medicinal value of peppermint is quite high; here are a few.

Pepper for Indigestion:

Peppermint oil is used to ease indigestion, gas, and bloating in the stomach. Irritable bowel syndrome has also been treated with peppermint oil. According to Roman history, it also helps in treating hiccups and is a great stomach soother.

Pain Relief:

It is an extraordinary pain reliever for headaches. It has also been used by soldiers as an aphrodisiac that helps them fight impending battles. It also helps to reduce menstrual disorders because it relaxes the muscles during menstrual cramps.

Freshening Breath:

It has been a mouth freshener for more than 200 years. It has been added to toothpaste since the 4th century. This was added as an ingredient, along with rock salt and dried flowers. The Colgate paste has contained the peppermint flavor in the jar since 1873 to provide pearly white pastries.

Cosmetic Use:

Egyptian creams and oils are used to soften the skin and mask the body’s Odour. The perfumes are also in the religious texts.

Peppermints in Sweets and Candies:

People who have a sweet tooth will have to eat peppermint-flavored sweets. They also have a cooling effect on the mouth and sometimes relieve gastric issues. The candy canes were also manufactured with this enchanting flavour in America.
