Things that can be called the best ingredients by the world always have their merits.
Just like foie gras, in the eyes of some people, it is just a high-fat food, but in the eyes of Westerners, what they eat is its high fat, when the glutinous and soft feeling bursts out in the mouth Afterwards, the feeling was indescribable.
But this thing has shortcomings after all, that is, it is too dry, or the fat content is too high. Almost the entire piece of foie gras is fat. Eating too much is not good for people's cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, and there are One point is that after eating to a certain extent, you will inevitably feel greasy, just like eating fatty meat. It feels very delicious at first, but some people feel unbearable after eating two pieces, and even feel like vomiting in severe cases.
So if you want to keep eating this delicious food beautifully, you have to find a way to get rid of this greasy feeling.
The simplest and most effective way to relieve greasiness is fruits, especially acidic fruits, and red wine.
Ye Fei's delicacy is paired with fruit. Although it is not the main ingredient, the existence of orange is to solve the fat feeling of foie gras, and cherry tomatoes also play this role.
In addition to these two things, there is also red wine.
But before making this delicacy, Ye Fei had already said that if you are not strictly eating Western food, you can just eat it with any kind of red wine.
But what if you want to be particular about it? That would involve the idea of pairing a type of food with a type of red wine.
What wine goes with beef steak, lamb chops, pork chops, wine for clear soups, brandy for seafood, sweet wine for desserts, etc. In the eyes of Westerners, what wine goes with any food? There are strict requirements.
What wine goes with foie gras
Ye Fei asked the audience in the live broadcast room. It can be said that all the viewers in the live broadcast room knew that it was paired with red wine, but they didn't know which type of red wine it was paired with.
In the end, it was Arnott who gave the answer.
“In the eyes of us Westerners, especially those from China, foie gras is a delicacy bestowed by God on the world. Therefore, when eating this kind of delicacy, the wine that goes with it must be just right. In general, dry red wine has The content of tannins is relatively high, so when eaten with foie gras, the tender meat texture and taste of foie gras will be drowned out. Oh, some people may not know much about tannins, or have even heard of them. In fact, alone Nin is a natural preservative, and it is also the main difference between red wine and white wine, because there is no such thing in white wine. This is also related to the brewing methods of the two wines. White wine is fermented from grape juice and grape skins. Red wine is fermented from grape seeds and grape skins, so one contains tannins and the other does not. White wine without tannins will have a slightly sour taste, while dry red wines will not. Some people may say Then use white wine with foie gras. This is of course not possible. As we just said, ordinary white wine contains more acid. If eaten with foie gras, the plump taste of foie gras will be buried. , so it’s not possible.”
"Then dry red wine won't work, and white wine won't work. Some people may have said, use brandy or champagne. The strong taste of these two wines will also affect the taste of foie gras. Some friends may not understand that this wine will not work either. , and wine won’t work either, so what kind of wine should I use? Very simple, use wine.”
Arnott's words were very long, but in the end people were still confused.
Because he has made it very clear just now that foie gras cannot be paired with white wine, and it cannot be paired with dry red wine. How come it is still paired with wine in the end? It seems that wine is divided into dry red wine and white wine, right? Is there a third kind of wine
"Arnott, can you be more clear? You said it for a long time and it's like you didn't say it at all. Why do you still want to pair it with wine?" Brother Hua asked into the microphone.
The Pampas eagles, glacier white bears and chicken farmers at the scene also looked confused, while Ye Fei just listened with a smile on his face.
Arnott made a laughing expression and said: "Yes, of course it is paired with wine, because this kind of wine is the most widely used in Western food. Foie gras does not go with dry red or white wine." , it does not mean that there is no wine that can be paired with it, because there is a very special existence in wine, and that is botrytis wine. We just talked about dry red and white wine, one of which is fermented with grape juice. Wine, one is made by fermenting grape seeds and grape skins. So what is this noble rot wine fermented from? Grape juice, you must be very strange. Just now we said that white wine is fermented with grape juice. Made, then should this noble rot wine also be classified as white wine? Indeed, it is, but it is the most classic and expensive wine among white wines, because its brewing process is very complicated, and it uses Grapes are also very strict, and cannot even be cultivated artificially, or cannot be controlled, because the grapes used to make this kind of white wine must become moldy. Specifically, they must be eaten by a type of Botrytis cinerea bacteria. OK, this bacteria is not harmful to the human body, it just eats the skin of the fruit."
"The juice of the fruits they have eaten is taken, and then the juice is fermented to make wine. This is a special white wine. The aroma of this wine has a different kind of sweetness, and the taste is very plump and full. In addition, if you taste it carefully, there is a very delicate and sweet feeling. If you eat this wine with foie gras, not only will it not drown out the exquisite taste of foie gras itself, but at the same time, the two will complement each other so that the flavors of both can reach an optimal level. It’s in top-notch condition, so having said that, I think if you want to pair it with the top-level foie gras made by Ye Shen, only the top-level noble rot wine is qualified.”
Arnault is indeed the richest man in the country. This guy really knows a lot about these luxury goods. He even knows exactly what kind of wine goes with top-grade foie gras. He talks a lot and sends messages It was very long, but no one in the audience felt it was long-winded, because they all knew that he was giving people the most detailed explanation, not only about the wine, but also why he should use this wine, and even the nature of the wine. The origin of this is professionalism.
Ye Fei couldn't help but start clapping, because what Arnot said was so classic and so correct, it was almost exactly what he wanted to say.
"Very correct. Mr. Arnott said it in great detail. Yes, if you want to eat it with the best foie gras, you must use noble rot wine. Only this kind of wine can maximize the aroma of foie gras." Show it, so today, by coincidence, I have a bottle of noble rot wine here, so we will use this bottle of wine to go with the foie gras."
With that said, Ye Fei stood up and came to the console. He looked at the storage compartment for a while, and finally opened a storage compartment. Then he reached out and took out a slender bottle. There was a bottle of amber in the bottle. colored liquid.
The insider will already know the level of this wine as soon as he sees the liquid in the bottle.
The bottle of white wine that Ye Fei took out was definitely top-notch, because although it hadn't been poured out of the bottle yet, the liquid was sloshing in the bottle like a pool of amber liquid, and even had a slight viscosity. This is because this wine is a sweet wine and has a high sugar content.
Ye Fei came to the bamboo table with this bottle of white wine without any label on the outside. Everyone's eyes fell on this bottle of wine. Some wine lovers in the live broadcast room began to stretch their necks to swallow. This is not an exaggeration at all. After all, people who like wine must have a natural reaction when they see good wine. You can't control it even if you want to.
Ye Fei raised the wine bottle in his hand and said: "The seven hundred milliliters of noble rot wine is made from the best grapes in the Bordeaux region and is brewed by Botrytis cinerea. Speaking of which, we must return To be a little more verbose, there is a kind of wine that is very similar to noble rot wine, and that is late harvest wine. You should know from the name that this kind of wine is mainly made from late harvest grapes, that is, after the grapes are ripe. Don't pick them from the vines, but wait until a certain period of time before picking them for brewing. In fact, the grapes used for botrytis wine are also like this, but the difference between the two is that one kind of grapes has not been infected by gray mold. One kind is botrytis wine made from grapes infected with Botrytis cinerea. As mentioned just now, this kind of wine is a sweet wine with a delicate taste and fragrant taste. Pairing this kind of wine with foie gras will not only It can highlight the aroma of foie gras, and at the same time further upgrade the delicate taste of foie gras. In addition, the acidity in this wine can also solve the greasy texture of foie gras, so that the overall taste of foie gras can be achieved. A top level."
With that said, Ye Fei turned around and went to the storage compartment to get four tall wine glasses. At the same time, he also took the corkscrew over and opened the wine.
As soon as the cork on the wine bottle was removed, everyone smelled a fragrant and sweet smell filling the air.
Ye Fei didn't waste any time and poured some directly into the four glasses. Then he picked up the wine glass and banged it with Glacier White Bear and the other three, and said: "Chels!"
Several people had already been extremely excited. Looking at the amber-like white wine in the wine glass, each of them felt dry.
Now after clinking glasses with Ye Fei, each of them quickly took a sip.
Whether you are drinking red wine or white wine, cow drinking is not advisable. Only by taking a sip in your mouth, and then letting the aroma of the wine slowly spread in your mouth, slowly infiltrating all the taste buds and oral cells, can it be absorbed. The best taste can be tasted more clearly, and only then can you taste the unique layering in its taste.
Although the Glacier White Bear and the Pampas Eagle are tall, thick, and furry, they still seem to be quite good at wine tasting.
After the two of them took a sip, they closed their mouths and eyes, and kept stirring their tongues in the mouth, fully contacting the wine, allowing the wine to completely wrap their tongues, making it impossible to turn around. The feeling of comparison strongly stimulates the taste buds on the front of the tongue.
"Sweet but not greasy, extraordinary, fragrant like night flowers, sweet like spring rain." A professional chicken farmer suddenly said.
Ye Fei was stunned, stared at the chicken farmer and smiled.
The professional chicken farmer smiled and said: "I have a hobby, which is collecting and tasting wine. To be honest, I really don't know how to describe this bottle of wine, because I really can't find a better word to describe it. I can only say Perfect!"
Glacier White Bear also sighed at this time and said: "It's more than perfect, it's like fine wine."
The Pampas Eagle also nodded and said: "I have never drunk such a top-quality wine. I drank it in one sip and my mouth was filled with saliva. It's so beautiful."
Watching the four people in the live broadcast room tasting the best wine, the audience in the live broadcast room completely exploded. Many people wanted to fly away and go to Ye Fei's place to beg for a drink.
At this time, Ye Fei smiled and pointed to the plates in front of a few people and said: "Drink some wine and try a bite of foie gras. I think it will be another ultimate enjoyment. Give it a try."
