Lisco's American Life
155. Food
"Blue lobster?" This time not only Lisko, but also Karu was a little surprised.
"Of course, we really bumped into each other this time. A fishing boat just caught them this morning, and I just went to take pictures of them." Ben looked a little proud.
If Kobe beef is considered precious, after all, there is only a small quota every year, but you can still buy it with money.
Blue lobster is different.
This kind of blue lobster has no fixed place of origin and lives in the ocean. It is extremely rare. It is said that only one in two million can be found. Scarcity is the most precious thing, so its price is also very expensive, but in the end
The precious thing is that when you can eat it all depends on luck, because you never know when you will encounter it.
The cause is that genetically mutated lobsters produce an excess of a certain protein, which reacts to form the blue compound astaxanthin, making their shells appear bright blue. But this does not help the lobsters. Compared with the surrounding environment,
The bright blue color makes blue lobsters easier to be discovered and hunted by predators, so they may have lost their lives in the ocean without being caught by fishing boats.
Moreover, blue lobster needs to grow for seven years, molt more than thirty times, grow up safely, and be caught before it can be considered a food ingredient. You can imagine how precious it is.
Even a family like the one in Carew, a family that gives away tens of millions of euros at will, has never had the opportunity to taste blue lobster.
What Lisko really had this time was unexpected luck.
Moreover, this kind of ingredient has not appeared a few times until now. The previous discoveries were all purchased and studied by the marine research centers of various universities. If there are not many people in the world who have tasted it.
"We are looking forward to it." Lisko looked into Ben's eyes, he was very serious about this meal.
It would be really flattering for him to take out this precious food for his sake.
After all, Karu has never tasted anything. In his eyes, the Kobe beef just now is just an ingredient that is not often eaten, but it is not precious, and he has eaten it several times.
After the introduction, Ben said goodbye and left the box. After all, he was still very busy at work in the restaurant, recruiting people to and from people.
"Good luck." Lisko took a sip of the water brought to him and sighed at his luck.
"Indeed," Karu was also looking forward to it. He had only heard of blue lobster, but had never seen or tasted it.
Lisko looked at Karu's satisfied expression and felt a little bit entertained.
After all, I am a VIP user, so the food is served very quickly. I didn't have to wait long before the dishes were prepared one after another.
The Kobe beef was fried until it was medium-mature, and strips of cucumbers, carrots and tomatoes were placed next to the plate. Salad sauce with special fish sauce was poured on it. You could already smell the aroma before you even started eating. Lisko looked at it.
The food is arranged and the mouth is filled with saliva.
There are also blue lobsters prepared with lemon. This time, Ben also had blood and served two of them. However, what made them both very disappointed was that no matter what color the lobsters were, the shells were all red after being steamed.
The noble and mysterious color blue seems strange.
The red wine on the menu was very special. It was a red wine that Lisko had never tasted before, Screaming Eagle Red Wine.
The price of this red wine in the world has exceeded that of Lafite, and unlike the long-established brands of Lafite and Plato, Screaming Eagle only started selling red wine in 1992. Compared with the brands it is tied with, it is
The youngest.
The most important point is that this red wine is produced in the United States and is the most expensive red wine in the United States.
Among the popular vintages, both 1997 and 2007 received perfect scores at international wine tasting conferences.
The red wine I brought out this time was from 2007.
Only 20-50 cases of Screaming Eagle red wine are sold each year. Lisko also made a reservation, but his share was in 2010, which means that it will take two years for Lisko to receive enough Screaming Eagle red wine for him.
"Hmm~" Karu ignored the food and tasted the sobered red wine first.
"Strong fruity aroma and explosive aroma of berries, coffee, fur, wild mushrooms and flowers." Karu opened his eyes, the taste of red wine still lingering between his lips and teeth.
Lisko also took a sip, and it was really good. In his previous life, he had also heard of this American red wine. Two years ago, in 2006, the owner of the winery, Jane Phillips, introduced Screaming Eagle to
The winery was sold to Stanley Kroenke and Charles Banks. It was said to have been sold for US$30 million, but it has now doubled. By 2020, the value of Screaming Eagle Winery is already more than ten million US dollars.
billion dollars.
This winery has a high status in the United States and is known as the "cult winery." Lisko is looking for an opportunity to invest in it, which is a great way to improve his social status.
Moreover, the current owner of the winery, Charles Banks, is not a good person either. Lisko saw the news and was later revealed to have cheated NBA star Duncan and was sentenced to four years in prison.
While they were talking, the two of them had already started their meal. The first dish they tasted was of course Kobe beef. Lisko cut it with a knife. It felt like there was no barrier. It was divided easily. When he picked up a piece, the meat fiber was very thin and tender.
, the meat is overflowing with juice, the meat tastes sweet and the texture is tender.
"Hmm~" Lisko narrowed his eyes happily. Every time he tasted delicious food, he felt that life is about eating and drinking. This sentence is not true at all. Food can really keep people away from troubles.
Karu on the other side also enjoyed the meal equally. Even though he had eaten Kobe beef a few times, he couldn't resist the top-notch taste. Every time he tasted it, he could feel the meaning of hard work in life.
The meaning is to earn more money so that you can be qualified to eat it often.
After tasting the deliciousness of Kobe beef, Lisko launched an attack on the lobster that had turned red, opening the shrimp shell and revealing the white shrimp meat.
Compared with other lobsters, the age of blue lobsters has little to do with the quality of the meat. Regardless of size, the meat is thick, tender, smooth, rich, and sweet. You can feel the rich and rich lobster flavor as soon as you take your mouth.
You can also faintly taste the salty aroma of the ocean. This is unmatched by ordinary lobsters.
The lemon flavor mixed with the delicious shrimp meat really made Lisko's taste buds explode, and the fragrance lingered between his lips and teeth. Lisko chewed it a few times and swallowed it reluctantly.
"Li, this meal was really great." Karu thanked Lisko seriously, but Lisko had no time to reply. He was busy destroying the food on the table.
In his previous life, Lisko expressed deep admiration for a sentence he saw on the Internet, "The most healing thing in the world is food first, and words second."
Now is the time to truly realize that the scenery of life lies in the many delicacies and experiences you have never tasted and experienced.
After dinner, Lisko wiped the remaining stains on his mouth with a napkin, still not satisfied.
He took out his wallet, took out a few hundred-dollar Franklin bills, and put them under the plate. He felt that the dining experience was worth the tip. This was also the first time he tipped willingly.
