Chapter six hundred and ninety seventh only food can not afford
Pig intestine, also known as fat intestine.
The sausage is fresh and thick, with a mellow texture. Whether it is grilled, braised, braised, fried or grilled, it has a unique flavor, such as "poured large intestine segment", "braised five-spice large intestine", "hot fried sausage", "nine-turn fat sausage", "roasted"
"Intestines" are very famous delicacies.
However, this may also be one of the most difficult foods for Europeans to understand.
At least in the eyes of most Europeans and Americans, cooking with this weird organ that transports and digests food is almost equivalent to the same series of dark dishes that the Inuit used to supplement vitamins in the past.
At this point, even the Scamanders, Luna and Hannah, who are wizards, are obviously no exception.
Of course, other than that...
Whether it is pig brains, pig tooth stems, yellow throat, pig tongue, pig head meat... these are naturally within the scope of "dark ingredients".
Following Elena's movements, the faces of the other four people began to turn blue, almost visibly to the naked eye.
"Okay, don't look that embarrassed. I won't force-feed you these things..."
Elena spread her hands, put the newly dug pig brain away properly, and explained helplessly.
"With so many delicious things, it would be too much of a waste to just throw them all away. If you really mind, I can use independent kitchen utensils to cook, and I will not put them on the dinner plate closer to you."
"Mr. Scamander, your staple food tonight will still be normal pork, so please feel free to rest assured."
Every place has its own food habits and cultural background.
The extensive and profound Chinese food culture is certainly worthy of pride, but this does not mean that it can easily defeat people who grew up in another completely different cultural background and soil - delicious food, which is a very subjective definition.
As a qualified chef, learning to respect your diners is always the most important and basic first step.
Because of this, even though Elena has already taken over the Hogwarts kitchen, most of the new recipes she has introduced in the past year are still based on improvements to traditional European and American dishes, except for a few
Except for the dishes that have been verified by "Wings" to meet the standards, generally speaking, there are not many oriental-style dishes.
But, on the other hand, it would be too pitiful if a chef doesn't get the food he likes.
If it weren't for the fact that these things are not available in the butcher shop, Elena would go to such trouble to do it herself. You know, a portion of pig brain only weighs 300-500 grams, which is barely enough for her to eat.
The tooth sacrifice is just to satisfy the craving.
In the UK in the late 1990s, it was not as easy as imagined to eat some of these darker-than-night dishes.
"Well, actually that's not what I meant. I, well, I just..."
Newt glanced at Elena who was cutting off the pig's head bit by bit with a knife.
On the plate next to the girl's workbench, there happened to be two dug-out pig eyes. The muscle fibers and subcutaneous fat layer were carefully preserved by the girl. They stared at Newt with a bulging look.
Quite "cute".
Poor old Scamander mumbled his lips a few times before finally letting out a dry laugh with a hint of embarrassment.
"That's good, that's good, I'm just asking..."
Although as a master of magical beasts, Newt has extensive experience in dissecting magical animals, academic research is still different from slaughtering them purely for food. At least he would never think of eating Ponlock.
Glancing at Elena, whose eyes were shining brightly, a very funny thought suddenly flashed through Newt's mind.
The reason why Gellert Grindelwald is so partial to this "little granddaughter" and even plans to entrust her with all the saints he has left in the world is that the most important reason is that this child has a terrifying personality.
range of recipes?
As for the purpose...perhaps, it is to take revenge on myself and the magical animal world?
However, before the idea could be fully formed, Newt secretly smiled and shook his head, taking the initiative to dismiss this seemingly ridiculous and ridiculous idea - Grindelwald was such a proud man, how could he be so childish and hasty?
.
"Mr. Scamander, Mr. Scamander?"
At this moment, Elena's clear and pleasant voice came to Newt's ear.
Old Freckles came back to his senses and turned around in confusion, only to see that Elena had put down the pig's head at some point and brought a strange pale gold foil to him, with Juanxiu's handwriting written on it.
There are seven or eight long dish names.
"Pork chop fried with sour and sweet peppers, slow-cooked curry pork neck, crispy hashbrown eggs with sweet bacon, juicy pork chops, pork belly with roasted Brussels sprouts... Um, Miss Kaslana, I'm sorry, what are these?
?”
"This is the dinner menu... What do you want to eat, and do you have any taboos?"
Elena smiled slightly, looked at Newt, and asked softly expectantly.
