About movies, more about food

When I saw the Boeuf Bourguignon (Burgundy red wine braised beef), I was shocked: what makes this dish unique is the red wine, and the beef fried in butter! This is the biggest difference from the traditional Chinese beef practice.


I remember in the earliest days of Desperate Housewives, Bree was eating with the shrinking pharmacist, I forgot what restaurant they were in, they were discussing the taste of sauce, and the pharmacist said, it is sinful to enjoy such delicious food, I felt at that time , is just sauce, is it worth using such a heavy word to describe it? After watching the movie, I became curious about butter, about cheese, about this kind of thing that I couldn't tell the difference before. At that time, julia child planned to use a whole volume of books to write about various sauces. Now it seems that it is not an exaggeration.

Having said so much nonsense, it seems a bit off topic. I just want to say that no matter if you like food or not, after watching this film, your index fingers will be moved, and you will feel that it is a sinful thing to ignore the beauty that comes from food in life.
