Let's have a little fun today, let's talk about dishes whose names are scary or shocking - but in fact, everything in them is harmless and decent?
In fact, there are many such dishes in any kitchen. I once published a recipe for the English dessert "Spotted Dick". I think this dessert is remembered by everyone who once watched the comedy "King Ralph" a long time ago (back in the nineties). For some reason, in a monophonic translation he was called "long and thick." In English, its name sounds "Spotted Dick"
The British also have toad in the hole. Toad in a mink or sausage toad. It sounds like the name of one of the culinary masterpieces from the book of Pratchet's Nanny Yagg (maybe this dish was there, but I don't remember, as I read it for a long time).
Of course, not a single toad was harmed when cooking a toad in a mink. And if it did, then this toad was passed off as a pig... Or someone else just as respectable, because a toad in a mink is a sausage baked in batter of Yorkshire pudding dough.
But Khai Luk Khoei, a Thai dish known to all, sounds good only for those who always think about the vulgar. Translated Khai Luk Khoei - "son-in-law eggs". In the sense that the son-in-law took duck eggs and prepared them for the mother-in-law. And not vice versa... mother-in-law took and cooked... for some sins ...
By the way, cooking is simple: boil eggs (no duck eggs - you can both chicken and quail) and fry. Season with tamarind sauce.
However, the eggs of the son-in-law - what! The French have a “weaver's brain” - Cervelle de canut. Sometimes it appears under the name "claqueret". It is done without any brains, on the contrary, it is completely vegetarian! On the basis of cottage cheese, with the addition of herbs, onions, salt, olive oil and vinegar (or wine).
The only trick is that the cottage cheese must be beaten off so that it becomes softer and more viscous. Therefore, there is a second name "claqueret".
