macédoine
Where it comes from
Borrowed from French macédoine.
noun macédoines
- A type of dish containing a mixture of many types of fruits, or many types of vegetables. This one is a mixture of textures and tastes and all kinds of vegetables—that's why it is called a macédoine. It's an odd route from Alexander the Great to your table, but Alexander, a Macedonian, had an empire consisting of many disparate states.
- A confused mixture; a medley. Actually, this ethnic situation—a “macédoine” of peoples—was complicated even more from the 1860s on when some of the Slavs in Macedonia who had always called themselves Bulgarians (and were considered so by most foreign experts) began developing a Macedonian national consciousness.
