ベイカーズダズンの由来
ベイカーズダズンとは日本語訳すると、パン屋の1ダースのことをさします。
昔、イギリスでパン屋がパンの重さ(目方)をごまかして売っているという噂が流れた際に、
パンの重さを誤魔化すパン屋に対しての重い罰則として『パンとビールの基準法』という法律が定められました。
しかし、毎回パンをまったく同じ重さで焼きあげることは困難であるし、そもそも焼きたてのパンと時間が経ったパンでは
水分の蒸発によって重さが変わってしまうことがあります。
そこで、重い罰則を畏れたパン屋が、1ダース(12個)を購入した客に対して、
1個おまけをして13個で販売し、重さの誤差や、焼き上がってから時間が経って蒸発した水分の重さだけ
軽くなることを予防するようになりました。
パン屋は1ダース(12個)の注文を受けても必ず予備の一個を忘れない。
これがベイカーズダズンの語源です。
13世紀のイギリスの法律が元となったお話ですが、
今、ベイカーズダズンといえば、ちょっとおまけ、ちょっと多めを指す言葉となりました。
お客様が注文した以上の満足を提供できたら!
という気合いを込めて、ベイカーズダズンと名付けました。
Origin of NAME
Baker's dozen is a Japanese translation of a baker's dozen.
In the past, when rumors circulated in England that bakers were fudging the weight of their bread, a law called the "Bread and Beer Standards Act" was enacted as a heavy penalty for bakers who falsified the weight of their bread,
The Bread and Beer Standards Act was enacted as a heavy penalty for bakers who misrepresented the weight of their bread.
However, it is difficult to bake bread at exactly the same weight every time, and the weight of freshly baked bread is different from that of bread that has been baked for a long time due to evaporation of water.
In the first place, the weight of freshly baked bread may change due to evaporation of water.
So, a bakery, in fear of heavy penalties, offered one extra loaf to a customer who purchased a dozen (12 loaves),
The bakery, fearing heavy penalties, would sell one extra loaf to a customer who purchased a dozen (12 loaves), and then sell 13 loaves to prevent weight errors and the weight of the loaves becoming lighter only due to the evaporation of water after baking time.
The bakery is now able to prevent weight errors and the weight of evaporated water from becoming lighter over time after baking.
The baker would always remember to keep one extra piece for every dozen (12 pieces) ordered.
This is the origin of the term baker's dozen.
The story is based on a 13th century English law,
Now, the term baker's dozen has come to mean a little extra, a little more.
