Table d'Honneur à l'Almandin : Frédéric Bacquié sublime la truffe blanche

Avec l’automne, les gastronomes le savent, commence la saison de la truffe. Cette année, le Chef Frédéric Bacquié du restaurant cinq étoiles gastronomique l’Almandin à l’Île de la Lagune dans les Pyrénées-Orientales a passé quelques jours dans une ferme proche d’Alba dans le Piémont, pour ramasser lui-même les truffes blanches qui finiront dans nos assiettes. Un week-end en immersion gourmande,…

Fisher’s pioneering “gastrography” or “foodoir” won plaudits on its 1943 publication. Most famously from one of greatest poets of the 20th century. “I do not know of anyone in the United States who writes better prose”, wrote WH Auden. Fisher’s story is about her personal experience of food and the pain of war. She writes richly and variously of food and communion, of “the warm round peach pie and the cool yellow cream”, of how she “ate bread on a lasting hillside” or “drank red wine in a room now blown to bits”. An extraordinary combination of travelogue and feminism, strawberry jam and oysters, fascists and refugees, love and hunger.

OOO DRIFT

DRIFT HAS BEEN SPOTTED

My favorite source notes in The Invention of the Restaurant: Paris and Modern Gastronomic Culture by Rebecca L. Spang

One recent analysis argues that Mayeux, though a “deformed dwarf,” was a “hero of the people”

It is unclear whether the murder of a lingerie merchant by her lover, a Russian servant, happened in a cabinet or in the restaurant’s main salon

Carême, by far the most famous chef and cookbook author of the first half of the nineteenth century, prefaced his books with calls for martyrdom; no sacrifice was too great for the chef’s art

The invasions of 1814-1815 had been “disastrous from the perspective of glory” but nonetheless very profitable

The utopian socialist Charles Fourier had offered a “scientific” perspective on this ideal, arguing that when humanity progressed from the state of “Civilization” to that of “Harmony,” the polar icecaps would melt and fill the oceans with lemonade.

The police also kept Napoleon up to date on conditions in the fan industry

Another of the Almanach’s rare ventures in recipe publishing concluded: “one would eat one’s own father if he were prepared with this sauce,”

The little old lady who followed the First Consul everywhere in the hope of inviting him to dinner

Even a recent, generally friendly, biographer writes of Louis’s “huge size which, if nothing else, was to make him such a remarkable king”

Although the first anniversary of Bonaparte’s coup had not been declared a state holiday, it had nonetheless been spontaneously celebrated by “the fatherland’s real friends”

The numerous turn-of-the-century singing societies have yet to find their historian

The seesaw was a staple of post-revolutionary French political imagery. It was especially common in depictions of the physically slight Napoleon and the bulky Louis XVIII

Physicians claimed that unqualified persons, in reading about diseases, would start to see all the symptoms in themselves. The Gazette de santé decried inexpensive medical dictionaries as “just so many swords in the hands of fools” and reported a case of “cholera induced by reading popular medical books,”

The Swedish monarch was often praised for his sagacity in outlawing copper cookware.

De Jaucourt, author of this article, cites Homeric heroes as dietary role models

An article in the Encyclopédie also made it clear that semen had to be directly replaced with nourishment

He explains, “They are for a financier who is going to do his rounds through the provinces. Can a man of his importance put up with the horrible soups they serve in inns?”

Fights might erupt over other tastes as well; for one over salad dressing

The Marquis de Brunoy famously squandered his inheritance on tinting a river black and dressing his gardeners, cooks, and other servants in lavish, gold-braid-festooned costumes, while he himself dressed in rags

I'm going to lose my mind over the ortolan bunting shame on me for thinking balut was the oddest way to eat a whole bird.

"You catch the ortolan with a net spread up in the forest canopy. Take it alive. Take it home. Poke out its eyes and put it in a small cage. Force-feed it oats and millet and figs until it has swollen to four times its normal size. Drown it in brandy. Roast it whole, in an oven at high heat, for six to eight minutes. Bring it to the table. Place a cloth—a napkin will do—over your head to hide your cruelty from the sight of God. Put the whole bird into your mouth, with only the beak protruding from your lips. Bite. Put the beak on your plate and begin chewing, gently. You will taste three things: First, the sweetness of the flesh and fat. This is God. Then, the bitterness of the guts will begin to overwhelm you. This is the suffering of Jesus. Finally, as your teeth break the small, delicate bones and they begin to lacerate your gums, you will taste the salt of your own blood, mingling with the richness of the fat and the bitterness of the organs. This is the Holy Spirit, the mystery of the Trinity—three united as one. It is cruel. And beautiful."

The nutrition arm of the NHS is trying to tell people this is a breakfast burrito:

The link to their recipe is broken so I can't investigate further, but this picture probably tells us all we need to know.
