Louise Penny's (#5) The Brutal Telling (Part 4)書內提到的美食

Louise Penny的書經常提及美食。我看到第五本，才想起應該為她的書做個美食特輯。

。profiterole(發音)：原來是泡芙的法文名稱。英名是cream puff。

Their main courses had arrived. A fruit-stuffed Rock Cornish game hen, done on the spit, for Gamache; melted Brie, fresh tomato and basil fettuccine for Lacoste; and a lamb and prune tagine for Beauvoir. A platter of freshly harvested grilled vegetables was also brought to the table. Gamache’s chicken was tender and tasty, delicately flavored with Pommery-style（一種香檳） mustard and vermouth（苦艾酒）.

Rock Cornish game hen這不是真的打獵回來的雞，而是畜養的。也不單指母雞。

lamb and prune tagine：這是摩洛哥菜式，tagine叫塔吉鍋，有說這是摩洛哥的煲仔飯。這也是北非國家一種傳統的烹調器皿。（更多資料）

Their dinners arrived and Beauvoir’s gloom lifted as the fragrant boeuf bourguignon landed in front of him. He looked across at the Chief Inspector smiling down at his lobster Thermidor.　

boeuf bourguignon（音）:法國名菜紅酒勃艮第紅酒燉牛肉

最後放的一張相是反高漸，不是美食相，而是一種糖果－－甘草煙斗糖(licorice pipe)。這是書內最常出現的糖果，是一種懷舊零食，像香港的眼鏡糖、煙仔餅一樣。我未吃過這款零食，不過，我覺得licorice糖是世界上最難吃的糖！我想像不到有兒童會喜歡它。這是文化差異吧！（記得在加拿大讀書時，有位阿sir每人派一條licorice twist，直接放在學生的書桌上。看著這條膠條，我胃口盡失。）

－找到一個很有趣的網，介紹上世界二十年代至七十年代的懷舊糖果，有些還有小故事呢！

小時候吃過一次，終生難忘（壞的方面）。
