Etymology

The term 'sousing' originates from the Dutch word 'zuur', meaning sour, which reflects the process of preserving food using vinegar or acid to create a tangy flavor profile. The practice of sousing can be traced back to the methods of food preservation used in early European cuisines, particularly in the Netherlands and England during the 17th century. Cooks of that era discovered that soaking meats in vinegar not only prevented spoilage but also enhanced taste. Over time, the technique has evolved, with various regional adaptations incorporating different spices, brines, and vinegars, thus giving rise to a variety of soused dishes. In contemporary culinary practices, sousing has gained popularity as a gourmet technique for enhancing flavors and maintaining food safety.
