Unexpectedly, after Schiller finished speaking, the Spider-Man people had no intention of leaving, and kept crowding around behind Schiller's chair. It was not until Schiller called each of their names that they lamented and then lowered their hands in frustration.
leave.
Not all Spider-Man are here this time, most of them are those who are more familiar with Peter from Schiller's universe, and they are usually quite distinctive, so it is not difficult to distinguish them.
Even so, this is quite an amazing amount of patience. Bruce knows that if there are so many Batmans standing in front of Arrogance now, he will just call them Batman and tell them to get lost. Of course, they will not gather in one place at the same time.
In front of people, this is really a bit too embarrassing.
More and more dishes are being served. Today’s theme is obviously special seafood. I have to mention that Gotham’s food culture is actually very famous. Even people in Metropolis will say that the best restaurant in Metropolis is in Gotham.
.
In fact, many gourmets have risked their lives to come to this city to taste delicious food. The most attractive thing here for them is that the food culture in the city is actually far superior to that in high-end restaurants.
Perhaps the more difficult people are, the more they can discover ways to cook with various ingredients. The East End is close to the dock. As the poorest place in Gotham, seafood was once the only ingredient that the poor people here could use to satisfy their hunger.
Eating from the sea means not only that people living by the sea use ingredients from the sea to survive, but also that they are the best at eating marine life and have much richer seafood cooking experience than inland people.
Gotham is located on the east coast of the United States, and is in the northeast. It is affected by both the Labrador Cold Current and the North Atlantic Warm Current. As we all know, the world's famous fishing grounds are located at the intersection of ocean currents, and cold-water seafood that is more affected by the cold current is often fresher.
and sweet taste.
However, cold water seafood also has disadvantages. Because the temperature is too low, it does not grow as fast as warm water seafood and reproduces slowly. It is often smaller in size and has less output. The larger ones are very expensive.
But Gotham's seafood doesn't have such troubles. Again, the growth of Gotham's creatures often doesn't depend on the food chain and natural climate. It doesn't matter whether it's the green of all things or the red of all living things. They can grow as big as they want.
.
This creates a unique spectacle in the world, big, sweet, cold-water seafood. The only problem is that eating them requires a small risk.
The factors that make them so big can certainly be called dangerous, but there is also the possibility that the seafood will jump out of the pot and hit you. Even so, there are still people who are willing to take risks to feast. You can know that this kind of ingredients has
How precious.
But the above dangers are only for outsiders. Gothamites don't have such worries, especially the poor in Gotham. As the toxin-rich group at the top of the food chain, seafood enters their stomachs, and toxins come with all their teeth.
Yes, he ran away wailing loudly.
As for being slapped by the seafood in the pot, it's not a big deal. If you're not in a hurry, you can just put it back in the pot and stew it for a while. If you're really hungry, you can just blast it to pieces.
Although the seafood in Gotham is very large, due to offshore pollution, most fishing boats can only fish from distant seas, which is costly and has a lot of losses. Therefore, the ingredients brought back are still very precious, and the poor in Gotham will try their best to drain them.
Every bit of their value.
Cutting a large piece of meat to make sashimi is a way of eating for wealthy people in the South District. Gotham people like to dry the fresh fish into dried fish. When they want to eat, they use a special grater to cut the fish meat.
Crush it in a grinder to make fish floss, then fry the small fish with the internal organs removed until crispy, chop it and mix it with egg yolk to make a special seafood mayonnaise, spread the mayonnaise on a piece of bread, and fill it with fish floss on a piece of bread.
Eat together.
Of course, there is also the clichéd rye porridge. Rye is really not a delicious food, and the same is true for oats, but their prices are very low, and their nutritional value is relatively rich among staple foods.
Low-quality rye and oats were too harsh, so they chose to add a little agar when making porridge, and then fried the fish extracted from fish belly fat, spiced it up, and boiled it together with the porridge and let it cool down.
It turns into a special oatmeal fish jelly, which does not have the unpleasant taste of rye and oats, but is also filled with the aroma of seafood, spices and oil.
Gotham is most famous for its Gotham hot dog. In other places, hot dogs are either filled with sausage or bacon. However, because there is almost no grass to grow, Gotham’s breeding industry is in a mess, and beef is obtained from other places.
Local imports will become expensive and unpalatable once they reach the bottom.
So people here invented a special way to make hot dogs, which is to remove the innards of the thin cuttlefish. Because it is tube-shaped, it can be easily stuffed with onions and minced salmon, and a long frozen strip is inserted in the middle.
Cheese, made into a unique sausage.
Just freeze it when you don't eat it. When you want to eat it, boil it first and then fry it. Then you can put it in the bun like a normal hot dog, coat it with a thick layer of tuna, and sprinkle it with some fried onions. It's better than sausage in one bite.
The much richer taste of hot dogs and seafood come together, and the rich and delicious flavor explodes in your mouth.
In addition to these more classic local foods that incorporate American elements, the two kings of foreign cuisine at the bottom of Gotham are still Indian food and Chinese food.
French food has too high requirements for ingredients. The best ingredients that the poor people in the East End can get are the scraps discarded from high-end restaurants. The integrity and freshness are both questionable. There are relatively few French people in Gotham, so French cuisine
The inheritance is not complete enough, but it is good enough to be used in high-end restaurants.
Italian food still retains pizza and pasta, but unfortunately, most of the chefs who can make authentic Italian food work for the Twelve Families, and these popular Italian foods have basically been changed beyond recognition.
On the contrary, the East Coast of the United States has always been a popular first choice for Chinese and Indian immigrants. There is no other reason. The main reason is that the economy here is developed and the money is earned.
In this era, almost no one comes here to pursue any dream of freedom. Most people come here just to make money from the exchange rate difference. Gotham is in chaos. The black industry is really profitable, so it is also the first choice for immigrants from many Asian countries to work.
Of course, the immigrants brought their own delicacies with them, and they did not care about incorporating local cooking methods into Gotham, so they also created many unique immigrant delicacies.
Some of the Chinese in Gotham come from the former Hongmen, that is, the Zhi Gong Party, and a large part come from Fujian. But no matter where they are, they are residents of coastal cities and have their own unique techniques for cooking seafood.
They have brought good news to the slums of Gotham - all kinds of porridge, noodles, braised vegetables, mixed vegetables, and stalls will appear on every street in the East District, regardless of day or night, regardless of the weather.
At dawn, standing on a higher floor and looking down, every steam rising out of a bunch of low and messy bungalows in the East End is a totem of victory for Gotham people who survived yesterday. It has a strong accent but is very loud.
The shouts are from the charge that is still brave enough to survive today.
The popularity of the food brought by the Chinese is also related to the business nature of their restaurants. I will come before the sun comes, I will not leave until the moon goes, I take orders from criminals, and I deliver food when gangsters are in trouble.
Night and day, starry night, they rushed to every famous scene in Gotham. When the chemical plant exploded, the food delivery motorcycles rushed through the flames. When the ship sank, the stall owner on the pier had just put the pots and pans away
Stack the basins together and put the towel around your neck.
Their will to survive is even more absurd than this absurd city. They can knock down giant seagulls and take them home to make soup. At the bottom, they can fight with squid monsters and carry a tentacle back to eat salt and pepper squids. Many locals in Gotham have learned the lesson of Chinese bosses.
There is a saying that is always on the lips, no matter what, people always have to eat.
In comparison, the Indian bosses are not so fierce, but their tolerant attitude towards food is even more astonishing. All Indian restaurants in Gotham use Gotham River water. Even a native Gothamite has to pay for a curry meal.
Let's bet on whether it will escape.
Of course, Indian food is still relatively well-recognized in European and American countries, and the hygienic conditions are not as worrying as in the mainland, but they can indeed stew anything and add enough spices. The main dish of curry is special-shaped stewed Gouda, which still tastes delicious.
.
Most Indian restaurants do not deliver takeout, only dine-in. There is a row of large pots at the door, full of curry, and the strong smell of spices can be smelled from two streets away. This is the best sign to attract customers.
When you enter the store, don't ask what kind of curry this is. Take a stainless steel basin and scoop out two tablespoons of rice from the wooden bucket according to the color, one spoonful of red, one spoonful of yellow, and one spoonful of green. If the condition is good, two more.
Fry the fish and sprinkle some chili powder after mixing.
The calories of the staple food and spices are enough to perfectly compensate for the consumption caused by heavy physical labor, so it is especially popular with dock workers. After eating a meal at noon, you can also use a plastic bottle to fill the curry, go home, cook some rice and top it with another meal.
Great meal.
Of course, there are Turkish, Belgian, and some Nordic cuisines here, but there are either only one or two specialty restaurants, or they are so expensive that only people with good conditions can eat there once in a while to satisfy their cravings.
The rich people in Gotham are also strange. They do not follow the trend of Europe and America. They blindly pursue the authenticity of the cuisine of certain European countries. They prefer to eat local food, which has heavier taste than French and Spanish food, and they will never compromise.
, I will never eat tasteless food.
This has led to the opening of many fusion restaurants in Gotham. Over the past hundred years, countless excellent chefs have integrated the flavors of Gotham's local cuisine into various cuisines, and then combined various cuisines with common characteristics.
With their chaotic and genius little minds, they use their eclectic and extreme imagination to create some delicacies that can be called amazing in the food desert of the United States.
When one plate after another is served, the colors are bright and the aroma is strong, as if they are punching people's eyes and noses at the same time.
At this time, the advantages of sitting at separate tables came to light. The Gotham people on the table began to chat about each dish, introducing the cooking methods and taste of the ingredients.
When everyone at the table was already preparing to open the curry crab, Bruce recovered from his daze. He paused and then shouted: "Wait a minute, the dishes are not finished yet."
