Chapter 451: Talking about caviar
"How to eat?"
The most sensitive to what to eat is Claudia, she heard Matsumoto say this, and immediately became very interested, and hurriedly asked. &26705;&33310;&23567;&35828;&32593;&39318;&21457;&32;&119;&119;&119;&46;&115;&97;&110;&103;&119;&117;&46;&110;&101;&116;
Matsumoto didn't continue to say anything, but took out a square wooden box from the cabinet on the side, because of the close relationship, Jester could still feel a chill coming from inside the box, and saw the puzzled look on Jester's face.
Tamahide Yoshiro, who knew Matsumoto very well here, took the lead in solving his doubts.
"It's an old-fashioned refrigerator, that is, a refrigerator is put in a wooden box, not electric, and Matsumoto likes this very much, so he has been using it all the time, and he has not used an electric one."
"I see."
After hearing the explanation, Jester couldn't help but nod.
While Tamahideyoshiro was talking, Matsumoto took out a jar of caviar about a kilogram from the wooden refrigerator, Jester because his family was engaged in the catering industry before, although it was Chinese food, but after all, he opened a hotel in the United States, so he also knew a lot about Western food.
He glanced at the jar of caviar and was surprised to see that it was genuine Iranian.
In fact, although caviar is an indispensable dish when going to eat Japanese food, to be precise, if it is sushi, then the traditional Japanese sushi will definitely have salmon roe warship sushi, this special salmon roe is an orange-red caviar, translucent, crystal clear.
When it is salted, it tastes fresh and salty, and the moment you bite your teeth, you feel a sweet juice overflowing and filling your mouth.
However, for the fish roe in Western food, it is not salmon roe, but sturgeon roe, which is a very deep black color. Instead of a very harsh orange-red, there is an essential difference.
In Western food, they think that the most noble and delicious food in the world is caviar, black truffle, and foie gras. I think this kind of thing is just average, and it doesn't taste much different.
And is caviar good or not? In fact, many people eat it because they are envious, and after tasting it, they think it is not enough.
Jester also thought so before, but after eating authentic Iranian caviar, this kind of thought, Jester is not like this at all, and he thinks that it is not enough, and the biggest reason may be the same. I haven't tasted the best.
What's the best?
Many people seem to say that Russian caviar is the best when it comes to caviar, so it's no wonder why you can't eat the best, because you didn't find the right one. It's like if someone wants to eat Chinese food, but you recommend it to someone to eat it in Chinatown, will it be delicious?
In fact, in the past, Russian caviar was good, but the sturgeon that produced caviar was caught in excaviar. Offshore waters have been deprived, plus a lot of salting techniques have been lost, basically. The Russian caviar I eat now is blindly dead salty, and there is nothing to praise it.
Of the caviar Jester has ever eaten, probably the best one is Iranian.
The preparation of caviar is also a very difficult thing, first of all, after the sturgeon is caught, it is necessary to split it, peel off its diaphragm, take out the roe, and at the same time take it out, immediately salt it and put it into the can, and the whole process cannot exceed 20 minutes.
If it is too salty when salted, it becomes waste, and if it is not salty, it will rot.
According to Jester, a Western chef in his grandfather's hotel, there are probably more than a dozen pickling masters in the world who can make the best caviar and perfectly grasp the time and weight.
This is also why Iranian caviar is so expensive?
As for whether the pickling can be replaced by a machine? Jester didn't know, but in his mind, if he could, why not?
There are three types of caviar in Iran.
Beluga, Oscietra, Sevruga are marinated in much the same way, but the source of the ingredients comes from different sturgeon.
The best is that Beluga is the most precious, the caviar is the largest, chew it carefully, burst in the mouth one by one, it will spew out a fragrant and sweet taste, that is an indescribable experience, after tasting it, I know why those European and American ghost animals, will think that caviar is one of the most delicious foods in the world.
And this time, the jar of caviar that Matsumoto took out was beluga.
Ordinary shopkeepers are careful to use beluga, but it seems that Matsumoto does not seem to be like this, and he did not hesitate to scoop out a large spoonful from the jar, and then wrapped the roasted, tender beef tongue and brought it to Claudia.
Then he said proudly: "Please try my special way of eating, roasted beef tongue with sturgeon roe." ”
When Jester saw it, he thought of the deliciousness of Iranian caviar, and immediately moved his index finger, licked his lips, and said to Matsumoto: "Mr. Matsumoto, let's also bring this beluga caviar with beef tongue." ”
Matsumoto glanced at Jester again in surprise, and at a glance, he could see from the appearance that his jar of caviar was beluga, and he must know a lot about this kind of food.
He also nodded, for a person like him who has a taste for food, his favorite thing is to sell goods to his family.
While handing Jester a copy of the beef tongue caviar that looked like a concoction for Claudia, he asked curiously, "What is this gentleman's name?" I only know that you are friends with Tamahide Yoshiro, and I haven't asked your name...... Didn't expect you to be so familiar with caviar? ”
"Jester. Plum. ”
Jester smiled and first said his name, then smiled modestly: "Actually, I just know a little bit about it." ”
"Oh, could you please talk to Jester? I don't actually know much, I just like to eat, in addition to knowing a little more about Mita beef, for other ingredients, I don't know much about it, for example, generally in Western food, how to eat this caviar? ”
Matsumoto heard Jester's modest words, but he didn't care, but asked enthusiastically.
Jester is originally a good teacher, since he heard the other party say this, he can naturally brag about it, of course, what he said before is right, his understanding of caviar is indeed just scratching the surface, but this does not prevent him from speaking briefly.
"Generally, French people are the most particular about eating this, after all, the so-called three delicious foods are the first to be put forward by them!"
"Generally speaking, eating caviar with an iron box or glass jar on the table, the amount given is very small, because it is precious, only if it is less, will carefully taste the taste and texture, a few minutes before eating, the jar will be opened, and then carefully scooped up with a spoon, of course, the most forceful French will use the spoon carved out of the abalone shell, which in their opinion is passing."
"Then it's a little simpler, just spread it on a thin piece of toast, and the toppings may be cooked egg whites, chopped onions, and unsalted butter or sour cream."
"In addition to the French who know how to enjoy eating, other foreigners are not so particular when eating, they don't know what umami is, and they don't like the taste of green onions, ginger and garlic, so when eating seafood, they like to add a little lemon juice on it, which is understandable, in terms of fishiness, lemon juice is indeed a big weapon."
"But they're like that when they're eating caviar, it's a bit of a ruin."
"This is a very wrong statement, the original taste of the expensive Iranian caviar is very sweet and delicious, when holding this high-end ingredient, the most suitable way is to eat its original taste, of course, it should not be robbed of the taste by acidic things, just like I saw in my grandfather's restaurant before, there was an apprentice who made a signature dish of which restaurant, called Suihan Sanyou Soup."
"Three friends of the year! It is pine, bamboo and plum, this kind of soup should know that it is a light flavor as a selling point, and the ingredients used are also very particular, such as pine, which is the top matsutake mushroom that was transported from the Naban Shuangxi to the United States, and the bamboo is produced in the southwest of China, which is the bamboo sunflower used in the famous bamboo mullet egg soup in Lu cuisine, which is a dish at the founding banquet that year, and it is also an unusually delicious ingredient, and the plum is the fine puree of wild mandarin fish, tart into fish gelatin, and used as a way to Huaiyang vegetable fish ballsIt is made of plum-shaped fish balls. ”
"The soup made with these three things must be extremely delicious, but when the apprentice was making this dish, he actually added chicken essence to it."
After tasting it, he immediately said very unceremoniously, how can you add chicken essence to such a delicious thing? The flavor of the whole soup, the unique flavor of these three ingredients, is masked by the very pungent taste of chicken essence. ”
"And when eating caviar, use lemon juice, it's the same as this, putting the cart before the horse."
Jester was talking, and Matsumoto also stopped the guy in his hand, and listened very seriously, when he heard Jester say this, he couldn't help but applaud: "Mr. Li's insight is really breathtaking!" ”
"No, no, just a little bit of the fur."
And Jester also continued to say modestly, his understanding of this is only because his family is engaged in this business, plus he has made efforts to make that game before, it is just lip service, although his kung fu is acceptable, but it is far less than the lip service. (To be continued......)
