C2164 Extinct Delicious (1/2)
It was a dish that required the Queen's nod to bring out. Furthermore, Fang Guan, who had gone through a special training, did not recognize it, and even the majority of the Europeans present did not recognize this kind of grilled turkey … This series of questions successfully aroused everyone's curiosity. They all gathered around to take a closer look.
Edward really did not brag. The Europeans present observed for a long time and discovered that the thing he was roasting looked a little like a turkey, but its size was even larger than that of a swan.
With a fat body and short wings and a big mouth, he looked like a stupid fat duck.
Everyone looked at each other in confusion and shook their heads, but Xiao Letian noticed that there were a few amongst the guests that were frowning. There was no confusion in their eyes, but there was an unspeakable meaning, maybe these people knew the name of this delicacy.
Amongst them was Gladstone and Prime Minister Benjamin. Their eyes were not filled with confusion, but a kind of unspeakable shock, and even a little reluctance to part.
There were also a few elders from other countries who seemed to be well-versed in it. They were all staring at the delicacy with shocked expressions.
At this moment, Xiao Letian understood that there were some well-informed people who recognized this delicacy, but they could see that the British royal family was showing off in his heart, none of them were willing to take the initiative, it was truly rude to steal the glory of its owner.
Prince Edward turned his head to look at his mother. He wanted his mother to introduce him to the delicacy, but the Queen shook her head with a smile.
But Prince Edward was also unwilling to show off. In the end, he focused his gaze on the two children in the crowd, one was his nephew William, and the other was his son Qiao Zhi.
Qiao Zhi was only four years old, he could not handle such a situation. Seems like his nephew would be the future king of Prussia.
”My Young William, please introduce yourself to the guests!”
Young William walked over with his head held high and his chest puffed up. What else was a nephew like at his maternal grandma's house?
Young William proudly bowed to the guests around him, then deliberately pretended to sound calm as he said, ”This dish's origin is not shallow, it's a unique bird from the western region of the Indian Ocean. Its meat is extremely tender, and has always been sought after by the European Food Festival.”
”It's a pity that the bird population is too low. He only exists on a series of islands, and he suddenly disappeared before humans could tame him …”
”It's been more than 150 years since I've seen such a bird, but I never thought that British Empire would find such a rare bird in the Indian Ocean in the first half of the year …”
”Now, let's welcome our explorer with our warmest applause... Samuel. Huai Te. Sir Baker! ”
All the guests present clapped their hands. A middle-aged man with a large beard bowed to everyone and walked towards the dining table. He first looked regretfully at the delicacies on the table.
”Respected guests, thank you for the opportunity given me by His Royal Highness. Now, it is up to me to reveal the identity of this animal …” that has been extinct for more than 150 years... The dodo! ”
”What the f * ck …” Xiao Letian's eyes were opened so wide that they were about to fall out. Mauritius's specialty, dodo? ”
