The cavalry originated in the countries of the ancient world, in the regions where horses were raised on a large scale. Before the appearance of the cavalry in the armies of Egypt, China, and India, horse-drawn war chariots were used.
Roasting is cooking food, from meats to vegetables, with fats so that they have a brown and glazed exterior and a moist flavor. Baking muffins. Baking is the term used for cooking foods such as bread, potatoes, apples, etc. in dry heat in an oven.
@talon8 @Eric: In the UK roasting potatoes means potatoes chopped in to large pieces with fat. Baking means straight in the oven in their skins whole. Very different. â Orbling Jan 15 '11 at 1:20
