La Liebig Extract of Meat Company (Lemco) fue una industria cárnica de gran importancia entre fines del siglo XIX y principios del XX. Historia[editar] Tomaba su nombre del barón Justus von Liebig, químico alemán descubridor del extracto de carne en 1840. El 4 de diciembre de 1865, en Londres, se establece la Liebig Extract of Meat Company (Lemco); poco tiempo antes, en 1863, el ingeniero belga George Christian Giebert había creado en las cercanías de la población de Fray Bentos, sobre el río Uruguay, la Societé de Fray Bentos Giebert & Cie.

En la misma se elaboraba el extracto de carne con el ganado uruguayo. La fábrica estaba ubicada contiguo a Villa Independencia, que tiempo después sería renombrada Fray Bentos y que hoy es la capital del departamento uruguayo de Río Negro. Las Liebig Company, comenzó en 1873 la producción de corned beef que se vendía a todo el mundo con la marca Fray Bentos.

Epílogo[editar] Bibliografía[editar] Andrew Graham Yooll, The Forgotten Colony, 1981. The enduring legacy of Elizabeth David, Britain's first lady of food. Simon Hopkinson first met Elizabeth David in 1984, or thereabouts, at Hilaire, the Chelsea restaurant of which he was chef. She came for supper with Valerie Eliot, and the widow of the poet was wearing – he remembers it vividly – a polka-dot dress. "I was very excited," he says. "Because I was a fan. " By this time, David was in her early 70s and a little frail (in the early 1960s, she had suffered a cerebral haemorrhage, and in the 1970s, she was in a serious car accident). As a result, she had a miniature appetite. At first, their relationship consisted mostly of conversations snatched when she came to lunch at Hopkinson's next berth, Bibendum, of which she was very fond (she sometimes came with another pal, the food writer Richard Olney).

David could be difficult; this is no secret. Somewhere in his flat is an ancient answer phone, on which there remains the last message she left him. David was abroad for the duration of the war. He remembers David as quite shy and modest.
