Top Ten Tuesday - 10 rețete pentru masa de Crăciun, luate din literatură!
Avem o super provocare pentru cei dintre voi măcinați de aceste două pasiuni care ne mână și pe noi: cititul și mâncatul! Și anume, să pregătiți o masă de Crăciun cu rețete din literatură. Noi nu ne încumetăm la așa o încercare, fiindcă pe de o parte nu suntem suficient de pricepuți; iar pe de alta, suntem pe baricade până înainte de Ajun. Dar dacă vreunii dintre voi se înhamă, vă rugăm foarte mult să documentați fotografic și să ne spuneți cum a ieșit.
Vă dăm mai jos 10 rețete, le-am ales să fie relativ simplu de preparat și pline de savoare.
SUPE
1. Supă albă, Pride and Prejudice de Jane Austen
“If you mean Darcy,” cried her brother, “he may go to bed, if he chuses, before it begins—but as for the ball, it is quite a settled thing; and as soon as Nicholls has made white soup enough I shall send round my cards.”

2. Supă cremoasă de castane, A Song of Ice and Fire (A Clash of Kings) de George R.R. Martin
“Cersei set a tasty table, that could not be denied. They started with a creamy chestnut soup, crusty hot bread, and greens dressed with apples and pine nuts. Then came lamprey pie, honeyed ham, buttered carrots, white beans and bacon, and roast swan stuffed with mushrooms and oysters. Tyrion was exceedingly courteous; he offered his sister the choice portions of every dish, and made certain he ate only what she did. Not that he truly throught she’d poison him, but it never hurt to be careful.”

3. Supă franțuzească de ceapă, Harry Potter de J.K. Rowling
Una dintre mâncărurile pe care Kreacher le-o servește lui Harry, Hermione și Ron.

FELURI PRINCIPALE
4. Pachețele din carne de porc cu castane (din nou!) și trufe albe, A Song of Ice and Fire (A Feast for Crows) de George R.R. Martin
“The tiles turned against me at the Checkered Hazard, and I wasted my last stag on supper. Suckling pig in plum sauce, stuffed with chestnuts and white truffles. A man must eat.”

5. Boeuf en Daube, To the Lighthouse de Virginia Woolf
“And she peered into the dish, with its shiny walls and its confusion of savory brown and yellow meats, and its bay leaves and its wine and thought, This will celebrate the occasion…”

6. Pui cu tarhon, Anna Karenina de Lev Tolstoy
“The Tartar, remembering Stepan Arkadyich’s manner of not naming dishes from the French menu, did not repeat after him, but gave himself the pleasure of repeating the entire order from the menu: ‘Soupe printanière, turbot, sauce Beaumarchais, poulard à l’estragon, macédoine de fruits…‘ and at once, as if on springs, laid aside one bound menu, picked up another, the wine list, and offered it to Stepan Arkadyich.”

7. Friptura Tâlharilor, Dracula de Bram Stoker
"Robber steak- bits of bacon, onion, and beef, seasoned with red pepper, and strung on sticks, and roasted over the fire, in simple style of the London cat’s meat!"

DESERTURI
8. Tartă cu mere, The Hobbit de J.R.R. Tolkien
“I hope there is something left for the late-comers to eat and drink! What’s that? Tea! No thank you! A little red wine, I think, for me.” “And for me,” said Thorin. “And raspberry jam and apple-tart,” said Bifur.”

9. Prăjitură cu chimen și nucșoară, Jane Eyre de Charlotte Bronte
“[...] she got up, unlocked a drawer, and taking from it a parcel wrapped in paper, disclosed presently to our eyes a good-sized seed-cake. ‘I meant to give each of you some of this to take with you,’ said she: ‘but as there is so little toast, you must have it now,’ and she proceeded to cut slices with a generous hand. We feasted that evening as on nectar and ambrosia; and not the least delight of the entertainment was the smile of gratification with which our hostess regarded us, as we satisfied our famished appetites on the delicate fare she liberally supplied.”

10. Desert de Crăciun, A Christmas Carol de Charles Dickens
”But now, the plates being changed by Miss Belinda, Mrs Cratchit left the room alone — too nervous to bear witnesses — to take the pudding up, and bring it in. Suppose it should not be done enough! Suppose it should break in turning out! Suppose somebody should have got over the wall of the back-yard, and stolen it, while they were merry with the goose: a supposition at which the two young Cratchits became livid! All sorts of horrors were supposed.”
