POPERING'S ALE
Nowadays an important product with the name Poperinge is of course
Popering's hop ale...
A taste you can find on the annexed linking:
click here; an introduction of Poperings hop ale
The hop, an ingrediënt, gives the Popering's ale just that special taste, it
is cultivated in the surroundings of the town Poperinge (Belgium)
It gives a special flavour that you personally can smell and taste in Belgium especially
when it is harvest time
hop, it grows in the typical green scaffoldings near Poperinge (Belgium)
POPLIN (linen) .....originaly manufactured by Popering's (Belgium) people
From the past, just after the middle ages (ca. 1330) a lot of Popering's inhabitants worked at home on their private waeving-loom;
after complications, the plague epidemics, a great journey to England, the English need to textile stuff.....
and there it was.... the name" POPELINE or POPELIENE "
Nowadays we know that "poplin" is a fine sort of linen
The textile art in Engeland, from Popering's former inhabitants and practised by them,
was growing to one of the world's finest sort of linen
For example, think in this relation about " damask "
Damask comes from Damascus (also a geografic relation)
Some shirts, products made of popeline..... a textile
At present , popeline is a European product, it is now manufactured in England and Italy
