周日市场
我很幸运,我住在巴黎最大的室外市场一个街区理查德·莱诺尔市场(Richard Lenoir Market)。从开始Place de la Bastilleand radiating northward, Sunday is a particularly lively day, since almost all other shops are closed in Paris on Sunday. I guess the alternative, going to church, is a less-popular option here, even in this predominantly Catholic country. If God is everywhere, I suppose, he’ll find the heathen at the market, lugging around our loaves and fishes.
You can find just about anything at the Richard Lenoir market. (In fact, I found packaging tape this morning. I did look for thermometer batteries, but no luck.) I always set out with an empty basket with the intention of buying a few vegetables and maybe a slab of fish. But by the time I’m done, I’ve almost dislocated my shoulder hauling my market basket home.
这对我来说是必不可少的,几乎所有人都在购物市场,以停下来Jackie Lorenzo,巴黎最好的鱼贩之一。他的立场始终是活动的嗡嗡声,您需要将自己的路推向前线以获得帮助。我把小小的老太太轻拍了,为了得到服务(他们在这里不是那么好心,比他们看起来更艰难;我带着瘀伤回家了!)
Being the resourceful American that has to use his God-given talents to good use to get what he wants around this city, I’ve been known to ply the young men and women who work for M. Lorenzo with chocolate chip cookies on select occassions in the past, sol’americain有时会排队优先放置。认为这是一个工作振奋。在那里工作的年轻男子和女人总是很友好,也愿意为准备的建议,就像你背后的人一样(…除非是夫人你推开了。然后最好在不进行眼神交流的情况下滑动。)
这是扇贝季节,或者被称为扇贝,les coquilles St. Jacques。今天的看台上,他们被高高地堆积了,几乎直到我头顶!通常,他们在法国的橙色“脚”上出售。我买了四个现场'uns,价格约为4欧元。午餐时,我用牡蛎刀将它们撬开,取出了所有粘糊糊的东西,然后用大蒜和黄油短暂地将它们炒。
和尚在法国非常受欢迎,通常在美国被称为“穷人的龙虾”。法国的鱼类商人通常会把头上的鱼类放在鱼上以证明它们是新鲜的(眼睛应该始终很清楚)。但是和尚是如此丑陋,它们掉了下来tête。我从来没有买过。他们吓到我,即使没有头脑。
我不知道是否有人故意表现出他们的干香肠,例如眼镜蛇,但这就是他们的样子。对于我们的非本地法语者来说,一件令人困惑的事情是,不同的是Saucisson,这是一种干燥的香肠,saucisse, the fresh sausage. Invariably I screw it up and they give me funny looks (another thing I’ve gotten used to around here.)
Since sunday is so busy, often the butchers will just put out some slices of…ok,quick!…这是saucisse或者Saucisson?…
他们在漫游市场的同时做了不错的零食。
当我在80年代初开始在Chez Panisse做饭时,我们会从意大利购买进口的血橙,而食客总是会问,“您如何获得橙色的颜色?”。如果我心情特别,我会构成一个好故事。人们还会问山羊奶酪是否是豆腐。如今,我想,山羊奶酪比美国豆腐更普遍。甚至在伯克利(尤其是)。
如果您不想做饭,可以购买长期的布吉尼翁伯夫已经完成。由于巴黎这里的天气特别寒冷,您可以看到它很受欢迎。
韭菜是very在法国和几乎每个人的购物篮中都很受欢迎,上面有一堆绿叶子戳出来。韭菜被煮沸,冷却至室温,然后浸入油醋汁。我还在顶部碎了硬煮的鸡蛋,或将一些好的凤尾鱼捣碎到调味料中。
我知道这对我不好,但我无法抗拒带回家Terrine Gascogne。屠夫一起磨碎了猪肉果酱with savory bits of duck liver and duck果酱,挤满了自己的脂肪。这是我品尝过的最好的东西之一,他们总是卖我太多。当他们将刀子悬停在terrine, so I can tell them where to slice, they invariably move the knife in the opposite direction that I tell them. I am sure they do it on purpose but when I get home and take my first bite from the rich slab, I know it will be gone within a few days so I’m happy to have it all.
