In the late 16th century masons had no permanent place for creativity and wandered through Europe in search of work, so the food of these people was very simple, but very appetizing and nutritious. How, then, liked to say the creators of tireless hard case: «Eat at pleasure, drink with measure and live out half a hundred years! ». Stonemasons worked mainly on the orders of the Order of St. Benedict’s abbey, which was very common in old Europe at the end of the 16th century. On monastic rules, main dish or rations for wandering, was serving cold meat, cooked cheese, onion, designed for one person and served on one plate. Ration (the French word pitance, «Mercy,» «piety»), as a rule, provide the wandering monks benedicts. Ration did not bless the abbey, like any other food, so it was extremely popular.
