Chapter 164 (1/2)
The most popular dish at this table is undoubtedly the fried peanuts and the fried Turkey.
Hongyun had never eaten fried peanuts before, so when they put a fried peanuts in their mouth with chopsticks, the unique aroma of fried peanuts immediately conquered their taste buds.
Fried peanuts, even if it is placed in later generations, it is absolutely ranked first in all the dishes. Whether it's pig ears or pig feet, or fennel beans or cucumber, they are far less important than fried peanuts!
The fact that this dish has been popular in China for so many years, and has been firmly holding the position of the leader in this dish, is enough to prove the charm of this dish.
So, even after hundreds of years of time and space, when Shi Xiong ordered out the boss of this dish, it still conquered everyone here.
It is said that we can see the truth in simplicity, and this dish is the answer.
Peeled peanuts into warm oil roll a few rolls, a slight change in color, fragrance slightly out of the pot can be. The oil temperature should not be too high, the peanuts should not be fried too long in the oil, and the pot should not be started until the peanuts are completely discolored, otherwise the peanuts will be fried.
If you sprinkle a small pinch of refined salt on the fried peanuts, you don't need to put anything else. That flavor will make all the gourmets never tire of eating
There are not many fried peanuts, so this dish is the fastest to be eliminated. Well, how fast? The stone bear just took a spoon to Baiyun and took two spoons. He took two peanuts with his chopsticks and found that the plate was completely empty
Another fried Turkey is also very popular.
Turkeys were domesticated by Indians a long time ago. Although Mexicans were the first to domesticate turkeys, by this time, turkeys have become common poultry in Indian tribes in both South and North America.
To be sure, the meat of Turkey is not as good as that of broiler chickens in later farms. However, this kind of poultry is big, and a chicken weighs more than ten jin. It tastes very good, and can play a very good role in relieving hunger for Indians who lack oil and water in their stomach.
This turkey is raised by Mo Mo Cao, Hongyun's good friend. The stone bear used a box of tofu and more than a jin of peanut oil in exchange.
Later generations eat turkey is baked in the oven, but now let alone the oven, there is no necessary seasoning, so there is no way to handcuff the turkey to eat.
So the stone bear took a different approach.
After the turkey was slaughtered, it was plucked to remove the internal organs, then the meat on the turkey was shaved with a knife, cut into chicken fillets, and then pickled with onion, salt, passion fruit and rosemary all night. Finally, it was put into an oil pan to fry chicken fillets.
Although there is no bread crumbs package, but so directly fried chicken is very delicious.
Cut the chicken legs into several sections and marinate them. Then fry the chicken legs separately. The same is true for the chicken wings.
Anyway, the fried chicken, chicken legs and chicken wings are also very popular in these dishes.
Whether it's red cloud or ray hawk or Ferguson, they have never eaten such a turkey.
Especially Lieutenant Ferguson, after tasting the fried Turkey, began to sigh: ”eating this familiar Turkey reminds me of Thanksgiving...”
”Thanksgiving? Is that the kind of festival that you English celebrate every year in Beaver month? ” Red cloud asks curiously, stone bear translates in one side.
”Well, you're right and wrong.” Looking at Hong Yun's puzzled look, Ferguson continued to explain, and Shi Xiong continued to translate.
”We don't have Thanksgiving in Britain. Thanksgiving is a festival set up by immigrants themselves. So, it's only among immigrants from the new world that there's this festival. There's no such festival on the other side of the European continent. ”
Red cloud felt very uncomfortable. Red cloud asked Stone bear, ”big bear, do you know this festival?”
The stone bear nodded.
”Tell us about it.” Fast horse said in the side.
For the festival, no matter what the country's festival, these simple Indians are very fond of.
Ferguson didn't mention the Thanksgiving, but when he mentioned it, the stone bear immediately felt that he couldn't eat it. Others do not know the origin of Thanksgiving, but he is very clear.
Although on the surface, this Thanksgiving is all kinds of big and big, but in fact behind the Thanksgiving is representing endless killing, how can the stone bear be interested in this festival?
But looking at them all want to know the origin of the festival, so the stone bear forbeared the discomfort in his heart and began to explain to them.
”When it comes to Thanksgiving, I have to mention a group of very special people. About two hundred years ago, around 1550 in the old world, a group of such people appeared in England on the other side of the ocean. They believed that the Bible was the only supreme authority, and no church or individual could be the interpreter or defender of the traditional authority. The group called for the elimination of the Catholic remnants of the Church of England. These people are called Puritans
”At the beginning, the influence of the Puritans was very huge, but about 170 years ago, the influence of the Puritans in England was greatly reduced. They were subjected to political repression and religious persecution by the king of England and the Church of England, so some Puritans were forced to leave the Church of England.”
”About 130 years ago, on September 6, 1620, a three masted Galen named Mayflower, 19.5 meters long, 7.95 meters wide, 3.35 meters draught and 180 tons displacement, started from England with a team of 102 people composed of 35 Puritans and 67 non Puritans, And finally across the Atlantic to Plymouth, Massachusetts, where the Massachusetts people lived
Hongyun interrupted: ”I know. When my mother was alive, she told me about the persecution of the Massachusetts by the vasichus. My mother said that the vassichuns who arrived in the territory of the Massa people were not sent by the king of England. They acted alone. At that time, masahoud, the chief of the Massa people, warmly welcomed the vasichu, and gave them how to hunt, fish and grow corn and pumpkin. If it wasn't for chief masasod, all these vasichus would have died there. ”
The stone bear nodded and said, ”yes, what kabulu said is right. With the help of chief Massaud, the group established themselves in that area and named it Plymouth in memory of the British city of Plymouth. The group gained a foothold in Plymouth. The next year, with the help of the masezhus, they had a good harvest. In order to express their gratitude to the Massachusetts, the vasichus decided to hold a celebration in the second half of beaver month
”With the joint efforts of these Puritans and the Massachusetts people led by chief Massaud, the celebration was very successful and lasted for three days. Later, at this time of the year, those vasichus would hold such celebrations, which gradually developed into vasichus' Thanksgiving
”Is this Thanksgiving just to show our gratitude to our aborigines?” asked Hongyun? Well, or thanks to the Massachusetts? ”
”Thank you?” Stone bear doesn't know how to answer this question
Stone bear also participated in a previous colleagues' party. As a result, the day of the party happened to be the same as Thanksgiving Day in the United States, that is, the fourth Thursday of November in the winter of that year.
