Chapter 772 Tasting Snails
"What a pity, why is Yuanyue Restaurant stingier than me? One serving of French snails only comes with three snails!"
Has anyone ever eaten snails?
The French's snails are a delicacy in Western cuisine. The number of people who like this taste is increasing. Snails are not as noble as the hall, and there are still not many people who like them. It is not as good as oysters, which have the temptation to fascinate all living beings.
Of course, it is not only edible, but also has high nutritional value! The protein content of French snails is higher than that of cattle, sheep, and pork, but the fat is much lower than them. It also contains various minerals and vitamins. It is the first choice for dietary therapy for those with weak constitution, malnutrition and long-term illness. The enzymes contained in it can dissolve accumulation and remove stagnation, while glutamic acid and aspartic acid can enhance the vitality of human brain cells. Scientists believe that eating more snails can have nutritional and beautifying effects on skin and hair.
How to make French snails:
To cook snails, you generally need to remove the snail meat from the snail shell, cook it in boiling water, wash the snail meat with the internal organs removed, and put it back into the complete snail shell. At the same time, add minced garlic and celery to the shell. and cream, apply a layer of cream on the snail meat, then mash the snail meat with onions, garlic, etc., mix with butter and seasonings, and then bake in a high temperature oven for a few minutes.
Generally speaking, restaurants that cook French snails have a special tray for roasting snails. There are at least 6 round holes on the tray, and a snail is placed in each round hole.
Put the "modified" "snail" into a round iron plate with 6 round holes at the bottom, and place it on the fire to bake. When the butter is roasted, you can take out the snails and eat them.
When the tray filled with snails is taken out of the oven, the fragrant snail dinner makes people salivate.
It tastes delicious if paired with baguette or garlic bread.
And this is where Yang Ming feels extremely sad. He obviously cooks at least 6 snails at a time, but only 3 are served out. What a shame!
The roasted slightly golden snails look very refreshing against the green olive leaves, exuding a delicious smell of green smoke that spreads around.
The French use a very special tool for eating snails, a special kind of pliers. When Yang Ming eats snails, he holds the snails with pliers in one hand, picks out the snail meat from the shell with the other hand, dips it in the sauce and eats it in one bite.
“Hmm~~”
"This is the taste, this unique taste that only snails can have. It's so delicious!"
Yang Ming opened and closed his mouth, making a clicking sound, and even bit off one side of the crispy snail shell. Only then did he realize that the snail shell was originally very thin, but after being baked until it was slightly golden, it became very Crispy and delicious.
The snail meat inside is white and tender, soft and delicious, and tastes sticky, mixed with the flavor of the sauce, sweeping across the entire tongue, as if giving a taste to the taste buds on the tip of the tongue. A different kind of party.
Yang Ming lowered his head and took a closer look. The white and black stripes of the snail shell were dyed with a hint of golden color, and the slight umami flavor inside the shell made it taste special, like eating fried potato chips. There is a constant clicking sound, but there is no rattling at all, which is great.
Click, click, click! Click, click, click! …
These sweet sounds kept coming from his mouth, and Yang Ming couldn't help but pick up a snail again and bite it. This time, he opened his mouth wider, and the feeling of eating was clearer. During the chewing process, even the juice inside the snail was absorbed by his teeth. It's all seeping out, and my mouth doesn't feel dry at all. On the contrary, the more I eat, the more appetizing I get, and the more I eat, the more I want to eat!
After eating the second snail, Yang Ming didn't stop and ate the last snail together with the olive leaf underneath, revealing the thin white porcelain underneath, which was neatly crafted and smooth, with a small river flowing on it. It looks like ripples under the light, making people feel peaceful.
A ray of hot air floated up, and the fragrance of snails came with it. In front of the delicious food, Yang Ming opened his mouth and saw a snail, and the wind and clouds were swept away, not to mention there were only three snails. There is simply not enough space between Yang Ming’s teeth!
To put it bluntly, French snails are an extremely luxurious dish. It is very difficult to make. From the birth of the snails, to the breeding and processing, to the cooking process, every step is a witness to luxury.
The French escargot dish made by Yuanyue Restaurant can be said to be a masterpiece, integrating the essence of all French snail dishes throughout the ages.
Each snail absorbed the flavor of butter, onions, garlic and other condiments. As Yang Ming chewed slowly, he realized this deeply. The juice in the snails was mixed with onions, garlic and butter. Taste, with the gentle friction of teeth, the mixed fragrance inside is secreted, giving Yang Ming an extremely rare taste.
Moreover, this dish is not greasy at all. Even if you eat all the snails, you will not see a trace of oil stains on the silver plate, because the little oil is absorbed by the snails themselves and does not leak out.
The snail shell wraps the white and tender snail meat. During the baking process, the aroma inside is locked and does not leak out. It also ensures that the nutritional value of the snail is not lost and remains inside. This is what creates the snail. Such a delicious dish.
"The chef at Yuanyue Restaurant is really good. He has mastered the essence of this French snail dish. He is even better than the previous chef and has his own unique style."
Yang Ming sighed with emotion in his heart.
"This kind of national dish-level cuisine cannot be prepared by ordinary senior chefs. From this point of view, it seems that this must be the master chef of Yuanyue Restaurant himself."
Thinking of this, Yang Ming couldn't help but glance at the menu. Just eating these three snails cost him a full ten million!
The corners of Yang Ming's eyes twitched fiercely. If he hadn't been a rich man now and had enough money, he might not be able to afford such luxurious food!
Not to mention anything else, just to enter this VIP room, Yang Ming has to pay a VIP recharge fee of 100,000 yuan, which is really not something ordinary people can afford!
It can be said that every minute and every second spent in Yuanyue Restaurant is spent money like water, as if money is worthless.
Of course, this is also Yang Ming's fault. He only chooses relatively expensive and luxurious dishes, which is why he is like this. In Yuanyue Restaurant, there are also dishes for common people, but there are relatively few.
All in all, if you come to Yuanyue Restaurant and taste the most authentic French snails, it will definitely be a worthwhile trip. The great taste satisfaction will make people feel more fulfilled and have endless memories.
