Dany, what an amazing post! I was a vegetarian for about 7 years and homesickness got back into eating meat. Preparing and enjoying the flavors from my childhood make me feel closer to home. Never been to France, but now I’m so curious for this dish!
Thank you María. I'm always on the fence about one way of eating or another. Whoever litigates for one diet or another seems to always have a good argument. Keto, vegan, pescatarian, etc... I decided to simply follow my instinct when I eat, feel gratitude for every opportunity to break bread in good company, and make peace with each meal. Saludos. 🌸
I admit, you are more adventurous than me. I'm not crazy about cartilage-y textures. Although, when we were in Paris in December, we had a beef tongue tartar that was amazing. We had our Christmas dinner at Magma (well not literally as it was early December, not the 25th, but it was officially our annual Christmas dinner together just for ourselves) which had a set menu, which I know some people think is pretentious but I like set menus for this exact reason - I would have never ordered that myself, but in this case, it was on the menu so that's what I got. And I loved it! Now if I see it again, I'll order it again.
Can't wait to be back in Paris again! Thanks for the great writing!
Thank you, Les. Wow! I think raw beef tongue is very adventurous. I cook it all the time, and it is so delicious in a vinaigrette, or in a Basque red pepper sauce. It’s never even entered my mind to eat it raw!
And, I love set menus too: such a relaxed and fun way to eat — the chef makes all decisions and usually some delicious new dish enters my field. 🌸
I seem to relate to demons better too. Really fun read. 😊
The more sour cream, the better. Love kopusta.
