It turns out that there is a whole category of products that a person with the taste of a real aristocrat will not use. I myself did not know, thanks to the respected commentator - I enlightened the orphan and the wretched
Sorry, just me.
I thought about this comment and realized that the world, in fact, is still in blissful ignorance. Portugal produces port wine in the most shameless way. And he's sweet. Spain - natural sweet sherries. And Madeira can be sweet... And tokai?
Woe to all lovers of these wines - they are now forever branded "not aristocrats"
But seriously speaking, once again I was surprised by the desire to divide people according to taste preferences into “those who are cleaner” and everyone else. Perhaps this desire is ineradicable. The more accessible the products become, the more signs people come up with by which division can be made.
I remember, leafing through one of the confectionery blogs, I came across a comment that truly successful people with exquisite taste will never consume "sweet confectionery." They, they say, value naturalness - and for them cakes and pastries are prepared without any sweetness, only natural nuts, natural oil, natural flour (or without it) and natural everything rest. To feel the TASTE.
You know, it's funny. It is worth recalling the history of culinary, how such a division into aristocratic and not very tastes becomes ridiculous.
The same sugar... Oh, sweet desserts - this was just the fiefdom of the aristocrats. Sugar, white flour, butter - all these products, inaccessible to the common people, were supplied to aristocratic tables.
The same Austrian Kaiserschmarrn, which is now obfukuvannya, was one of the favorite dishes of Emperor Franz. Joseph and was served exclusively in aristocratic canteens - because of its sweetness, for which it needed sugar.
But now many despise him. Just because of sugar... True, it is worth saying that this is a dessert of the Austrian Kaiser, and everyone as one begins to sing real Hosannas to the simplest (and most harmful) dessert.
Now another trend is naturalness and lack of sugar.
And another twenty or thirty years will pass, a new fashion will come, and then what? Maybe scientists in salt will discover a miracle substance? Or they will find some other superfood... Maybe meat artificially grown from oil refinery products will be considered useful (chemistry generally works wonders).
And then what?
Eh, gentlemen, gentlemen... Food is a pleasure. Why make of her a subject of controversy, because of which there are only arguments and squabbles, eh?
I am glad, however, that the majority understands this. But the supporters of the division according to food addictions are still in the minority (but very aggressive).
