Chapter 298: Gout Pot
"That's right." Erina's eyes lit up and she immediately responded: "The kind we eat is also made this way! The grilled saury has a slightly curved S shape! It's very handsome!"
Kitajima Sayo became even more excited after hearing this.
She said that the high-grade saury she ate also looked like this!
This is not only because the high-grade saury is too large and difficult to fix on the drill like ordinary saury.
It is also because this shape will give people a great visual experience.
After being grilled, the saury is transferred from the grill to the plate.
At this time, the body of the saury has been finalized, and it will no longer bend or straighten from a bent state.
It seems like a species has changed! It’s a very novel experience!
The saury that diners usually eat lies straight on the plate.
But what I ate today was slightly S-shaped! It reflects the sense of nobility even more!
From the moment it is skewered and grilled in the oven, it is no longer just saury.
But S (SUPER) saury!
"Well, you two went to the same store, right?" Makiko Kodera asked in confusion: "Why is the synchronization rate so high?"
Yoshiyuki: "Maybe it's because all the synchronization conditions for the assassination mission have been met."
Makiko Kodera: "Don't make Assassin's Creed jokes! I'm serious!"
Erina: "How is that possible? I ate it in the village. A chef came and grilled it with fresh saury that was quickly flown in!"
Bei Dao: "Yeah, it's different. I ate it in Tokyo?"
Asakura: "Wow... it sounds great! We want to go to that restaurant to eat too! Remember to call us if you have the chance!"
Bei Dao: "Then we have to wait until autumn! When the saury is at its fattest, let's go eat it, right?"
Asakura: "Oh~ that's great! I really hope that time can fast forward and it will be autumn soon!"
Yoshiyuki: "Then these few months have been wasted, right?! It's a complete loss of blood!"
That’s it for the discussion about saury.
It would be more appropriate to continue this topic in autumn.
What Yoshiyuki is now curious about is whether any of you here have tried loach pot.
The result...no one has tasted it at all!
"No, there are nine of us here." Yoshiyuki was quite surprised: "No one has eaten it? This is considered one of Tokyo's specialties."
"Hey? Is this a specialty?" Yingxue Qianai heard this and was surprised: "I don't know."
"Yes. A two-hundred-year-old specialty! Eating loach hot pot was very popular when this place was called Edo." Yoshiyuki continued: "In the end, no one eats it because it is too far away from everyone's daily life. Bar."
"Maekawa-san is right." Nao Nishida agreed: "When it comes to hotpot dishes, it's usually sukiyaki, sumo hotpot...and shabu-shabu! Even if you choose tagine, There are more people who like Chinese hotpot than loach hotpot. It should be said that loach hotpot generally does not appear as a candidate!"
The so-called tagine is a kind of pot originating from Morocco, North Africa.
Also called micro pressure cooker.
Its shape is characterized by a high cap with a triangular cone shape.
The pot is relatively shallow, its depth is only about one third of the pot cap.
Its characteristic is that the steam will rise to the top of the pot, then turn into water droplets under the bottom, and return to the pot. This way, food can be cooked using very little water. It is well adapted to the local drought and water shortage environment.
Food made in a tagine also has a special flavor because of the characteristics of the soup constantly evaporating from the top to the bottom of the pot.
It is said that this pot was invented by a young man named Alibaba.
Because he was wearing a tall hat and walking in the desert. It was not raining, but water droplets kept falling on his head. After discovering that it was his own sweat, he had an idea and invented the tagine.
"In fact, when it comes to loach, many people's first reaction is whether it has an earthy smell. Or they think its appearance is a bit scary and they dare not eat it. Therefore, they are not even willing to try it."
Yoshiyuki hesitated for a moment, but continued.
"But this thing wasn't a famous delicacy in Edo in the first place, right? We should be able to like it too. Do you want to try it?"
Everyone agreed.
Just when Yoshiyuki felt that he could basically finalize the arrangements for tonight's party and was about to start searching for nearby stores selling loach pot, Kitajima Sashi fell into deep thought again and spoke up.
"Well...actually besides the loach pot, I also have another thing I want to try! You may like this one more!"
Bei Dao smiled sheepishly, took out his phone again, and showed it to everyone.
There is actually... a gout pot on it!
In the pot above, there are a large number of more than 20 kinds of seafood, such as oysters, oysters, angler fish liver, etc. Most of the foods are of the ultra-high purine type.
The advertising slogans are like this: "Even if gout kills you, you must eat it! The extremely fresh hot pot - gout hot pot, is a hot seller! Reservation phone number: XXXX..."
Here’s how to eat it.
It is said that the gourmet will not only eat the whole pot, but also drink the soup, and even add rice to the soup to make porridge. Adding udon noodles to make seafood noodles is also a good choice.
However... this is the most deadly thing!
There is also a lot of purine in the soup! Even if you eat it after cooking, it will be higher in purine than some foods!
"Uh." Yoshiyuki looked at this thing and felt that his joints, toes and head were starting to hurt: "Don't. If you eat this thing, you may get gout!"
"Although purine is very high for humans, it must be extremely rare!" Kitajima Sashi introduced excitedly: "It doesn't matter if you eat it once in a while! Hey, right?"
"I think it's better not to eat. Unless you only eat a little bit. But after you sit down, you can't have a full meal without eating, right?" Yi Xing firmly objected: "This kind of thing is too sinful! It's better to eat healthy loach." Pot!"
"But, we are thinking." Asakura showed a serious expression: "Is the test of overcoming gout also a part of spiritual practice..."
Yoshiyuki: "Don't practice on this meaningless thing! Eating this kind of thing is like eating fried butter. It's totally life-threatening!"
"Huh? Is there such a thing?" Kodera Makiko was quite surprised when she heard this: "Isn't butter itself oil? Is it going to be made into some dish after frying or something?"
"No, just eat it dry...a specialty snack from the United States." Yoshiyuki covered his face and explained: "Anyway, don't worry about it. Normal people definitely shouldn't try it! The fat content is already high enough to cause acute diseases. to the extent.”
"I see." Asakura nodded and said deeply: "It seems that eating fried butter is also a kind of spiritual practice..."
Yoshiyuki: "Asakura, that's enough!"
