Chapter 451 Talking about caviar
“What is the way to eat?”
Claudia was the most sensitive thing to eat. When she heard Matsumoto say this, she immediately became very interested and asked quickly.
Matsumoto did not continue to say anything, but took out a square wooden box from the cabinet on one side. Because of the closeness, Jester could also feel a chill coming from the box and saw the puzzled look on Jester's face.
Tamahiro, who knew Matsumoto very well, was the first to solve his doubts.
"This is an old-fashioned refrigerator, which is filled with a wooden box. It is not electric. Matsumoto likes this very much, so he has been using it all the time and has not used electric ones."
"I see."
After hearing the explanation, Jester couldn't help but nod.
While Tamahiro was talking, Matsumoto took out a can of caviar about one kilogram from the wooden refrigerator. Because Jester had been engaged in the catering industry before, although it was Chinese food, he opened a hotel in the United States after all, so he also had a good understanding of some knowledge about Western food.
He looked at the can of caviar and found that it turned out to be a genuine Iranian product, which surprised him.
In fact, although cabbage is an indispensable dish when eating Japanese cuisine, to be precise, if it is sushi, there will definitely be salmon warship sushi in traditional Japanese sushi. This special salmon roe is an orange-red cabbage, translucent and crystal clear.
Marinated with salt, the taste is fresh and salty. The moment the teeth are bitten, a fresh and sweet juice will overflow and fill the entire mouth.
However, for the cabbage in Western food, it is not a salmon roe, but a sturgeon. The color is a very dark black instead of a very strict orange-red, which is a fundamental difference.
Among Western food, they believe that the most expensive and delicious food in the world are caviar, black truffle and foie gras. Although Jester scoffed at this statement, he still agrees with these three types of tastes, especially in this world. The three top ingredients that he had eaten were completely different from the ones he had eaten in his previous life because he didn’t have much money. He thought that this kind of thing was just average and not very delicious.
And is caviar delicious? In fact, many people just admire their reputation. After trying it, they think it’s just a matter of Err.
Jester thought so before, but after eating authentic Iranian caviar, Jester was completely different from this idea. He thought it was just that, and the biggest reason was that he had never eaten the best one.
What is the best?
Many people seem to say that when they mention caviar, they will say that Russian caviar is the best. That's not why you can't eat the best one, because you didn't find the right one at all. Just like someone wants to eat Chinese food, but you recommend it to others to eat in Chinatown. Will that be delicious?
In fact, Russian caviar was good in the past, but it was over-captured to produce caviar. The offshore was suddenly affected, and many pickling techniques were lost, basically. The Russian caviar I eat now is salty and nothing worthy of praise.
Among the various caviars that Jester has eaten, the most delicious one is Iranian.
The production of caviar is also a very difficult thing. First, after sturgeon is caught, it must be split, peeled off its membrane, and taken out the roe. At the same time, salt is immediately added and then put in the can. The whole process cannot exceed twenty minutes.
If it is too salty when pickling, it becomes waste, and if there is not enough salt, it will rot.
According to a Western chef in Jester's hotel in his grandfather, there are about a dozen people who can make the best caviar in the world and perfectly grasp the time and portion.
This is also why Iranian caviar is so expensive?
As for whether marinating can be replaced by a machine? Jester doesn't know, but in his opinion, if possible, why not?
Iranian caviar is divided into three types.
Beluga, oscietra, sevruga, the pickling method is generally the same, but the source of the ingredients comes from different sturgeons.
The best thing is that beluga is the most expensive, and the caviar is the largest. When chewed carefully, it will explode into the mouth and emit a fragrant and sweet taste. It is an indescribable experience. After tasting it, I will know why those European and American ghosts think that caviar is one of the most delicious foods in the world.
And this time, the can of caviar that Matsumoto took out was beluga.
Ordinary shops, even if they are useful, will use beluga very carefully. However, it seems that Matsumoto is not like this. He scooped out a tablespoon from the jar without hesitation, then roasted it, wrapped it with extremely tender beef tongue and delivered it to Claudia.
Then he said proudly: "Please try my special way of eating, roast beef tongue with sturgeon."
After seeing this, Jester thought of the deliciousness of Iranian caviar. He immediately moved his index finger, licked his lips, and said to Matsumoto: "Mr. Matsumoto will also give you this beluga caviar with beef tongue."
Matsumoto once again took a surprise look at Jester. At first glance, he could tell from the appearance that his can of caviar was beluga, and he must have a good understanding of this kind of food.
He also nodded. For those who are tasteful about food, his favorite thing is to sell goods to the home.
While handing a portion of beef-tongued caviar made for Claudia to Jester, he also asked curiously: "What do you call this gentleman? I only know that you are friends of Tatsuhiko Yoshiro, and I have never asked your name... I didn't expect you are so familiar with caviar?"
"Jest Lee."
Jester smiled and said his name first, then smiled modestly: "Actually, I just know a little bit of fur."
"Oh, can you ask Jester to talk about it? Actually, I don't know much, I just like to eat it. Except for knowing more about Santa Cow, I don't know much about other ingredients. For example, how do I eat this caviar in Western food?"
Matsumoto heard Jester's humble words, but he didn't care, but instead asked enthusiastically.
Jester was originally a good teacher. Since he heard the other party say this, he could naturally boast about it. Of course, what he said before was correct. His understanding of caviar was indeed just the superficial, but this did not prevent him from briefly talking about it.
"The French are most particular about eating this. After all, the so-called three delicious statements were first proposed!"
"Generally speaking, when serving caviar with iron boxes or glass jars, the portions are very small. Because it is precious, only if it is less, you will carefully taste the taste and taste. You will only open the jar a few minutes before eating, and then carefully scoop up with a spoon. Of course, the most stylish French people will use abalone shell to carve the spoon, which is the passing of the spoon."
"Then the way to eat is a bit simple, it is to apply it on a thin piece of toast. The ingredients included may include cooked crumbs of egg whites, chopped onions, and unsalted butter or sour."
"Apart from the French who know how to enjoy eating, other foreigners are not so particular when eating. They don't know what umami flavor is, and they don't like the taste of onions, ginger and garlic. So when eating seafood, they like to add a little lemon juice to it. This is understandable. In terms of fishy food, lemon juice is indeed a powerful tool."
"But they are also doing this when they eat caviar, which is a bit of a waste of resources."
"This is a very wrong statement. The original flavor of precious Iranian caviar is very fresh, sweet and delicious. When holding this high-end ingredients, the most suitable way is to eat its original flavor. Of course, it should not be snatched away by acidic things. Just like I have seen an apprentice in my grandfather's restaurant before, which restaurant's signature dish is called Suihan Sanyou Soup."
"It's the three friends in the cold season! It's pine, bamboo and plum. This soup is just by looking at the name, it should be known that it is a light original flavor. The ingredients used are also very particular. For example, pine uses the top pine mushrooms transported from Napan Shuangxi to the United States. The bamboo mushrooms are made from bamboo mushrooms produced in southwest China, which are bamboo mushrooms used in the famous bamboo mushrooms in Shandong cuisine. This is a dish at the National Banquet that year, and it is also an extremely delicious ingredient. Plum is made of plum blossom-shaped fish balls made from fine crumbs from wild mandarin fish. After being tarted into fish glue, it is used as a fish ball in Huaiyang cuisine.
"The soup made with these three things must be extremely delicious, but when the apprentice was making this dish, she actually added chicken essence to it."
"So the one who ordered this dish was a great gourmet. After he tasted it, he immediately said bluntly, how can such a delicious thing be added to chicken essence? The taste of the whole soup, the unique taste of these three ingredients, was completely covered by the very irritating taste of chicken essence."
"When eating caviar, use lemon juice, the same principle is the same as this, putting the cart before the horse."
Jester was talking, and Matsumoto stopped the guy in his hand and listened very seriously. When he heard Jester say this, he couldn't help but clapped his applause: "Mr. Li's insight is amazing!"
"No, I just know a little bit of fur."
