Global Food Tour

Chapter 156 If you don't eat it, your teeth will itch! 【Fourth update, what can you give me...】

After eating a meal that was regarded as a celebration banquet, he went back to the hotel and changed into a dress that imprisoned his soul. The middle-aged man surnamed Liu also finished his work and came to the hotel to drive the two of them to Borough-Marke, the largest vegetable market in London. go.

Although it was night, there were still many people in the vegetable market with different faces. The first ingredient that caught the eye was all kinds of fresh mushrooms.

"These can make a very delicious mushroom risotto with Parmesan cheese. Although it is a vegetarian dish, it can be full of meat flavor." The enthusiastic aunt introduced with a smile.

Zhang Feng is a little confused and doesn't quite understand. Most of the cooking skills in his head are related to seafood. Even if he sees a lot and adds some practice makes perfect, he can cook some ordinary dishes, but he is still stuck in seafood cooking after all. In this circle, one cannot be called a master.

"The number of guests is 57, right?" Zhang Feng confirmed.

Xu Jie nodded and said: "It's 57 people. Plus I and you, Manager Liu, there are exactly [-] people. The Hebrew Earl's personal chef will help you. If you still need help, you can ask for it at any time."

"You don't need so many people. At night, the British don't have a big appetite, and the amount doesn't need to be too much, as long as it's delicate. Uncle Liu, you can go back to the car and wait. Let's go shopping first." Zhang Feng kept talking. The middle-aged man surnamed Liu who followed behind said.

"Okay, just a little tired, I'm at the parking place, if you have more things, call me."

"it is good."

Xu Jie suddenly opened her eyes wide, pointed to a stall in front, and said, "Pagoda-shaped vegetables?"

"Ask." Zhang Feng stepped forward quickly.

"These pagoda-shaped vegetables with the light green color of spring shoots and the beauty of the Fibonacci sequence are called "Roman cabbage", also known as "Roman cauliflower" or "Roman cabbage". It can be fried or steamed, just like Ordinary cauliflower can be eaten like that, and it will be crispier when fried." The stall owner responded with a smile.

Zhang Feng really wanted to buy something back and try it, but considering that these two days were not suitable, he could only apologize with a smile, but the boss replied with a smile: "It's okay, you people are here to travel, look at fresh vegetables, It is also appropriate for us to introduce you.”

"Thank you, uncle." Zhang Feng was also very happy to express his gratitude again.

When Zhang Feng was communicating with the uncle, Xu Jie had already moved to another booth, which was full of fresh spices.

"There are so many spices. It reminds me of an article I read before, called "Scarborough Fair", in which the classic sentence "Parsley, sage, rosemary, and thyme (parsley, sage, thyme) (marine and thyme)"."

"Aren't you going to buy some?"

"What should I buy? I haven't decided yet what kind of dishes to focus on. Well, let's get some rosemary and thyme..." Zhang Feng probably had a direction in mind and started to purchase related ingredients. He ordered about ten kinds. .

After buying spices and walking a few steps, I saw the favorite ingredient of the European people, which is tomato. There are at least ten kinds of tomatoes on the stall, and the darker the tomato, the sweeter it is.

"Boss, six steak tomatoes."

"This steak tomato looks like a big red lantern." Xu Jie couldn't help but pick one up and look at it carefully.

"This kind of tomato is very soft and juicy. It goes well with red meat. It can also be chopped and sprinkled on toasted crispy bread. Add olive oil, minced garlic and sea salt to make a great appetizer." The stall owner enthuses. teaches how to make it.

Zhang Feng nodded with a smile, and said, "Let's try it when we get back."

"But you buy a lot here. If there are two people, one can eat several meals." The stall owner is very good at business and uses his own money.

"We have a lot of people, we won't waste it."

"That's good, but you can't take it with you. If you want to buy some other things, by the way, ask someone to help deliver the goods. The price is not very expensive, just the people over there." The stall owner pointed to the exposed person a few meters away. The man with half a head holding a wine bottle in his hand has a humanity whose age cannot be discerned at a glance.

"And this service, so troublesome."

Soon, a deal was reached with an old man who was a little drunk, and the price was acceptable. Afterwards, the two followed an electric tricycle with purchased ingredients on it. The old man had nothing to say all the way, so he kept a certain distance and followed .

"Is the thing in front of us something we have seen several times in the delicatessen?" Xu Jie asked, pointing to an ingredient that looked like a lotus flower.

"It seems to be, ask."

"This is an artichoke, also known as an artichoke, which can be seen in most of our European delis. It is often vinegar-marinated artichokes soaked in olive oil. Fresh artichokes can be eaten by steaming for 20 minutes, and only eat the underside of the leaves. The soft part is right here, and the fluffy stamens need to be discarded, otherwise they will get stuck in the throat." The stall owner introduced the artichoke.

"Oh, here we are, here are some."

Walking around, looking and buying, I saw all kinds of pumpkins put together, and felt the festive atmosphere. The warm colors made people feel comfortable.But in Europe, many pumpkins are not used for food, but for decoration. For example, the pumpkins used for carving on Halloween are actually very bland in taste, far inferior to various potatoes.

Especially when it comes to the British, the first reaction of many people is that they only eat potatoes, eat potatoes in fancy ways, eat potatoes in different ways, no matter what they eat, they must be served with French fries, mashed potatoes, boiled potatoes, baked potatoes... …But few people know that there are also many varieties of potatoes. Some are rich in starch and suitable for making mashed potatoes, some with low water content are suitable for making French fries, and there are also purple-black potatoes, not purple yams or purple potatoes.

In the past few days, when I was eating in a restaurant, every time I was reminded by the waiter: "You forgot to order French fries."

Zhang Feng, who has obsessive-compulsive disorder, rejected the waiter's kindness every time, causing the waiter to look at him in an abnormal way.

I bought some potatoes and pumpkins, and saw all kinds of radishes, purple carrots, yellow carrots, red carrots, Xinmei radishes, which are a little shy inside, stem mustard, the raw material of mustard...

While chatting with the stall owner about carrots, I unexpectedly learned that carrots were actually purple originally, but the Flying Dutchman cultivated orange carrots. Zhang Feng's outlook was instantly refreshed, and he gained knowledge when buying vegetables.

Then, at the seafood place, I picked the main ingredients for tomorrow, all kinds of seafood. Zhang Feng didn't dare to take risks. During the safe period, he didn't seek novelty, but stability. Just when the grocery shopping was about to end, he passed by a truffle shop unexpectedly.

Truffles are used in fine dining restaurants in London and can be priced like gold.

Zhang Feng did not give up, asked a little question, and did a rough mental calculation. A whole truffle was as expensive as a pure gold one. At that time, the mental calculation became sad, and finally he chose olive oil and honey with the taste of truffles. It can add a few strands of unique aroma to dishes.

"Old Xu, tomorrow, no, later, I invite you to eat this thing, don't eat it!" Zhang Feng pointed to the truffle in the window.

Xu Jie thought Zhang Feng didn't have enough money, so she said, "I don't have enough money, shall I pay?"

"No, no, it's a waste to give these things to those who meet for the first time, and...these are not fresh enough, you have to buy them when you come to see them in the morning." Zhang Feng said with a smile, the expression on his face was very smug, as if already Think of a thousand ways to eat.
