Chapter 37 Life is more than the wolfberry in front of you (I)
He spread his hands and smiled sincerely at the baron and mayor, "I'm very sorry. I have no intention of offending you, my friends, nor Duke Eberlock. He was a venerable old man. But ......"
He sighed, still mixed with a somewhat mocking sneer in his helplessness: "However, I have to say that although most people and most of the time in power in the world are not like this, or at least not always, once they commit stupidity, the degree of stupidity will be absolutely unimaginable to all of you here!" ”
"That's true, that's true!" It was probably Bauer's words that reminded him of some funny past, and Baron Flintrey laughed. Stroking his belly, which had already begun to be blessed, he humorously said, "Thanks to the Light, poor old Flintre and Erronamune's father have not yet had a chance to sit in those love-hated seats!" Friends, let's toast to the Alliance! ”
"For the Alliance!" "For the Alliance!"
Everyone toasted, and even Dishuda Wind Seeker smiled implicitly and raised his glass, and drank it all.
At the beginning of the dinner, the High Elf from the Northern Kingdom was originally a little reserved in his friendliness, making people feel that his friendliness was more polite, but as the dishes were served to the long table one after another, his words gradually increased.
Thorninley's blessing, Jin Shaolan was able to play his role as if he were presentable. The etiquette of human society in the world of Azeroth is indeed not much different from that of modern Earth - after all, the etiquette of Western food has been passed down as a tradition to this day, and it is normal that there has been little change during this period, and the Warcraft series is roughly based on the style of the Middle Ages on Earth. He also found that his previous fears that he might accidentally talk at the dinner party and let Finley find out what was going on, because in this day and age, the governess was still a half-friend, half-servant, and whenever the host entertained visitors, the governess would take the children to eat in the children's room and instruct them on the etiquette of the meal. This allows him to relax and enjoy his food.
It was a dinner full of the quintessential southern flavor of the Human Stormwind Kingdom.
The staple food is spiced bread, and unlike most of its close relatives, this thinner cake-like bread does not seek to be completely kneaded evenly during the dough stage, resulting in a rich and layered taste when you bite into it; Spices mixed with thyme and oregano and plenty of sesame seeds evenly coat the cake-like surface, and are baked together with the dough until golden crispy. The most commendable thing is that most bread varieties do not avoid the boring middle part, because after the dough is pressed into a cake shape, the middle part is pierced with a fork before the coating is done, which makes the evenly distributed holes full of olive oil and sweet spices, and when baked, the dough around the holes is naturally baked at a high temperature close to the outer crust, and the aroma is completely immersed in the dough, so that when you bite into it, it has a bit of a biscuit-like crunchy texture. The softness and sweetness of the interior are particularly distinct.
As for the dishes, everyone tasted spicy wolf meat, pork jerky, crab cake, slippery mackerel and other delicacies.
Wolf meat is an ingredient, no matter how old the wolf is taken from in what season, it is harder and coarser than cows, pigs, etc., but tonight's wolf meat must be taken from a male wolf who has just been beaten (not just slaughtered), and it is all leg meat, which is repeatedly beaten before cooking to loosen the fibers of the leg meat, and after a simple marinade, it is sprinkled with thick chili powder and roasted directly, which allows it to retain the juice to the greatest extent; The stove is thriving, and the surface of the meat is cooked in a short time after it is fed into the fire, and the gravy is completely locked inside, and then it is removed and served on the table as soon as the heat is just right. A bite down, the surface of the wolf meat is like a layer of burnt hard shell cracked, the rich oil and gravy inside suddenly overflowed the mouth, because taken from the wolf's leg, the structure of the entire meat piece is in the form of "five flowers and three layers" respected by the Chinese, the fat and fragrant lean meat and smooth and chewy tendons alternately roll in the mouth with the cutting of teeth, making people addicted while being spicy and breathing.
The crab cake is an amazing snack on the plate. This dish is not a frequent servant at the table, because crabs are not available in large quantities in most regions, and the size of the crabs is also more demanding in order to make crab cakes in addition to freshness. The Flintre chef only chooses the meat of the crab with two large claws to make the cake, and the large pieces of crab claw meat are coated in breadcrumbs mixed with sugar, milk, mayonnaise and corn kernels, and fried on medium heat until golden brown on both sides, during which the crab meat is exposed to the heat, revealing the snow white inside. Put it in the mouth and bite it, and the whole "bang" shattered, and the fatty and tender crab meat in the crispy mouth crossed the teeth and swirled sweetly on the tongue, as if it could be swallowed without chewing, and the host, Baron Flintre, took the first bite and said with emotion:
"Guys, I love crab meat! I love the big pieces of crab meat! ”
After a mouthful of snacks, of course, a plate of slippery mackerel that has been frozen in the ice cellar overnight until it hardens, and then shaved into snowflake slices with a wind-sharpened planer. The crimson slices of meat were lightly sprinkled with a little black pepper and salt, and the onion was finely shredded and covered with a layer of snow white. The local mackerel is very fat, and the fat body of the fresh fish that has just come out of the water always makes people suspect that the silver-gray skin will be swollen by the flesh wrapped in it in the next moment, and at this moment the fork is forked, and the thin flesh of the fish is still elastic and trembling slightly. The first thing to taste is the freshness of lemon juice, the strong acidity quickly clears the mouth of the aftertaste left by the previous delicacies, awakening the taste buds, and a pinch of salt and pepper completely sets off the natural flavor of the fish. Because the meat is mainly red meat, the taste of mackerel is not delicate enough, but when it is served as a thin fillet, the red meat makes it chew and feel extra firm and creamy. When chewing gently, the light orange aroma of lemon, the slight pungency of pepper, the coldness and sweetness of the fish meat give people a "bright" taste enjoyment under the background of the slow red skin firming taste, and the saltiness of a little salt makes this enjoyment timeless and evocative.
As for the main course of the dinner, it was a stewed 22-pound barried catfish (about 10 kilograms). For it, there is no need for any description and praise, just two key words are enough to arouse people's appetites: "catfish"; "22 pounds."
Catfish!!
Big Catfish!!
