The Dark Ages of the Gourmet

(1) The so-called toast is actually a slice of toast with seasoning. For housewives with low cooking power, toast is a good dish for emergency. It is very convenient to make a bunch of them between three and five and divide them. The taste can be adjusted arbitrarily.

You see, in the film "Toast", the mother who can't cook always has no choice but to make toast. My father's appetite has long been taught by women, and I don't think it's inappropriate to chew toast every day. It's just that my son has some small complaints. He always covets the well-made dishes, and he also encourages his mother to find something else. , but this stupid mother with poor hands-on ability, in the end, had to make some toast.

There was also a time when my mother and son made a plate of pasta together. It looked good, but when it was brought to the table, the mother and son were a little scared. Everyone looked at the father and the chubby man as if waiting for the outcome of the trial. Whether or not men who are not very interesting eat happily.

It turned out to be unfortunate, this man who was used to eating toast actually gave up trying new things (it is estimated that his taste buds have long been lazy and unwilling to move), so my mother was unhappy, the problem of asthma came out again, and my father also When he got angry, he yelled and yelled at his son. The situation at the table suddenly changed from cold to miserable. In the end, he still made three toasts to pass the situation.

My mother's asthma did not improve, and she passed away soon after. Dad's situation is worrying, he seems to be more worried than his son. He needs a lady, so the candidate for stepmother arrives soon and enters the family as a cleaner. Sometimes, the auntie, the buttocks cleaner, will also come down. In the kitchen, and the things she made were really delicious, and the smell of toast gradually disappeared from the dining table.

Dad lives with this auntie. And what about the son? He still can't get any father's confirmation, I mean, he can't get his father's approval. This father's temper is bad, his thinking is straight, and his brain is rough. He has absolutely no sense of what his son loves. In front of him, his son is just a "shallow" son, not a son who can continue himself. , that is, a son who continues the qualities of his father.

This is a bad situation for every father, and even worse for every son. What's more, the son in "Toast" is a comrade. Compared with the confirmation of the deceased mother, he needs the sincere approval of his father! But it's too hard for him to do it.

He prepared to do it with his hobby cooking skills. He even took part in the school's cooking elective course (only girls would take part), and he also produced results. One made for his father with his "auntie", which made him happy. The amazing dessert - lemon cake-like works. The aunt tasted it and felt that the taste was already comparable to her own, but this woman was not happy because she was competing with her son for this man! Neither of them will admit defeat, and the aunt has always been the winner. She takes all of this man. As for her son, she has lost until now, and she will continue to lose. In the end, Dad didn't have a taste of that cake.

The son still couldn't get what he wanted, until one day, the aunt said that his father died suddenly, the son was frozen there at that time, he was sad, but everything was just like that - the father didn't give him love, he couldn't Force yourself to pour out a bunch of sadness.

At the end of the film, the son ran away from home shortly after the bad news came, and the aunt shouted to keep him, she didn't want to be alone, but it was useless, the son left. In the last set of shots, we see my son go to work in some restaurants, he does what he wants to do, and the movie is over.

The prototype of this son is Nigel Slater, a well-known foodie and cookbook author in the UK today.

(2) This is a sad movie. There are too many people who have broken their hearts or simply died. Even at the end, the aunt who had always been happy and had always been the winner was also sad. She cried, because what she would face later might be a lot of loneliness.

As for the son, there are too many places to be sad, almost in all childhood, in all the points involved in this movie, we all saw sadness.

In the aforementioned episodes, there is sadness everywhere, and some places that I have not mentioned are even more sad and sad-he is a comrade, and he can get too little comfort. He used to be friends with the gardener, but his father replaced the latter. He had even made a decent little snack to share with the gardener, but he would never see the adult who "liked" him and was "liked" by him again.

Before deciding to leave, he also got a kiss from a boy who was about to go to ballet training. It was so beautiful. It seemed that everything was hopeful, but it was just a kiss. After the end, the boy who was going to ballet I was called by my girlfriend to go for a walk, until I stepped out of Nigel Slater's youthful years.

(3) Everything is prompting Nigel Slater to tell him that his life is a duck egg. Apart from getting into cooking (perhaps thanks to the aunt who is good at cooking? She stimulated him to learn to cook faster and more firmly?) and learn it well, he has nothing.

And even this, the only consolation, is so astringent in consequence. The reason is to get the father's love; the result is to not get it at all.

(4) After a long period of nothing, we saw a turning point after the brewing, Nigel Slater walked out without turning back? (Actually, it's also because there is nothing worth holding on to anymore) Breaking the boat? (There's really nothing to break, he's a zero duck.) Anyway, he's gone, walking, adding a real number to all the zeros for a long time.

His childhood years are over, not good, too bad! But the future has also opened up. He continues to walk towards the place he wants to yearn for. The taste of toast may still be there, but he has a new plan. .

That's it, this is the childhood of a gourmet, bleak! The life that followed was won at the moment of walking out, and the moment he walked out, it was shrouded in infinite darkness. Without this dark night, the dawn might not come. Without the embarrassing taste of toast, we'd lose him, lose Nigel Slater's, bleak story.

    The inspiration that I had expected all melted into the emotional entanglement of the family, and all the troubles of growing up seemed so outdated, it was really annoying. The same-sex emotion that should be the highlight is just a touch of the water, thanks to Helena and Heimer, otherwise it would be a bit hard to watch...
