Any relationship between both news?
In Europe, there�s a strong controversy because Le Figaro has acclaimed Adrian Ferr�, a Spanish cook, as the best in the whole world: "an Alchemist", they say...
Vive la difference!

If I come there for the Vuelta a Espana, you are going to buy me one of those. Is Spanish beer any good?

And how many people is Adrian the Alchemist going to serve compared to the Golden Arches? - Audiophilander 08:23:10 01/27/04 (9)
Taste is always relative to hunger, and even the Grey Poupon crowd likes the flavor of a "Royale with cheese" once in awhile. ;^)

    It's QUALITY made available for mass consumption, rather than quality manufactured by a few Grey Poupon critics for a limited market; "discriminating tastes" is called that because it discriminates. ;^)

      Remember: in the long run, what you eat is what you are..., and I�m not kidding!
      It�s a pity you can�t read Spanish, as there�s an excellent book "Cocinar hizo al Hombre" ("Cooking made Man"), by Faustino Cordon, a professor in Biochemistry and an ardent evolutionist, which is simply fascinating: in it he explains how cooking paved the way to make man a more intelligent species.
      If I ever find it translated, I�ll remind you about it.

      The fact that something might appeal to a large audience is enough for some high-falutin "Grey Poupon" critics to diss it.

And Ferr� is beiing copied from the great French cooks..now they serve the foods in tubes...glass pots.....in many colors..You gave the feeling that they work in a laboratory....
- You�re right: he has set up a very well-equipped laboratory in Barcelona... - orejones 08:13:09 01/27/04 (9)
  ...close to the market of La Boqueria (not so different from what Les Halles used to be in the good old times, whores included), and he spends three months a year there, experimenting with new textures, and combining tastes...
  Not my cup of tea, but a friend of mine goes there three or four times a year (it�s some 500 km from Valencia) and he seems to enjoy it...

    I am not overhelmed at it too. I prefer the more tradionnal way.
    But marketing..

        We ate them in France too...Maybe the green ones more, but Alsace has the more delicious white you can imagine.

        Many folks over here don't have any idea what white asparagus is or actually looks like! It's NOT popular in the States at all. I figured you might be familiar with this "delicacy", if it can be called that, because it's extremely popular in Germany.

        It would be the same as if I would tell you " Big Mac " what is it! I can NOT believe that people don�t know, in your country what " white asparagus"are...Not in New York any way....
        As said before ..popular in France... Italy..and so on ..The green are more powerful and among them the " wild one " are the best.
        The white will be served with a " Hollandaise " the green one with a French dressing, mostly as a salad.( If very very tenderly ..raw. )
