Three dishes

I watched several food-related movies in a row this month. This summer’s only anime that can compete with Harry Potter, Ratatouille should be the best one, but the story is obviously a bit old-fashioned. It can be said that the production is excellent, but the creativity is few. Perhaps the greatest pleasure is to guess the location of those Paris attractions while watching the film. Those who are concerned about food can also discover the faint originality of the famous French chefs and food critics. Several dishes, such as the soup at the beginning, I can’t guess because I saw that a lot of condiments were thrown away. I have tasted a piece of calf thymus and it is indeed delicious, but I’m not sure if the recipe is the same as in the film. Many famous dishes in France like to be made with calf brains or offal. Although they felt a little psychological barrier for a while after being cheated to eat, they can’t deny their deliciousness. Later, they didn’t particularly resist it.

In fact, the French have no taboos in eating like the Chinese. As mentioned above, these are completely trivial. As for the dog meat, it is not taboo. They like to eat them, but because there are too many people who raise dogs, it is not taboo. It’s only public. One of the most gossips I have ever heard is that a certain prince who has entered the Spanish royal family suddenly disclosed that he loves dog meat. Then it caused an uproar in the public opinion. Being criticized is that the French nature is hard to change, and it is not just that it makes people angry Because of this, it is even more speculative that the royal family once lost a dog before and offered a reward in the newspaper to find the dog. This time everyone began to think that maybe the missing famous breed of dog was actually just a Chinese meal. .

But the most terrifying way to eat is the traditional French way of tasting wormwood, which is to swallow the whole wormwood into the mouth and eat it with the bones. Some food critics describe its practical process as full of barbaric fun. It is also regarded as one of the best delicacies by French gluttons. It is said that the former French President Mitterrand used a whole roasted wormwood as the last supper when he learned that the cancer was in the advanced stage, and he had to cover his head with a napkin according to the traditional way of eating, because the appearance was quite scary and he needed a napkin. hidden. Recently, the French government announced that it will finally ban the hunting of Artemisias. Because it is almost extinct, it has also completely eliminated the idea of ​​gluttons. In fact, this kind of crisis has already begun a long time ago, otherwise The purchase price of Artemisia in the black market is not so high that it is said to cost more than one hundred and fifty pounds apiece.

And the Provençal stewed vegetables that made the devil food critic EGO taste almost tears of childhood memories, seemed a bit unattractive for a meat lover. I tried it last time in the south and had to taste it. Said, in fact, that's it! Now that I’m in a foreign country, speaking of vegetable styles that can evoke childhood memories, it’s actually just a plate that has never been found in a Chinese supermarket where Shanghai Royal Jelly, which is rarely seen in Shanghai, can be found. Light chicken feathers.
