Yet another (presumably) proper noun, and a word I’ve never
seen before. I wonder if Espelette is another type of booze? What with it being
the day after St.Patrick’s Day, I kind of hope it isn’t. I'm glad I have a variety of terrines to try, I didn't expect them to be as different as they are.
Huh, I didn’t expect it to be so pinkish. I suspect
that this either means it’s has salmon in it, or it’s spicy. As I have a
somewhat masochistic relationship with spicy food and love salmon, I think I’m
in for a win-win here.
It is spicy, but just the tiniest bit. It’s more of an
aftertaste really. It’s coarser than the
other two terrines. The texture is more like sausage filling than the others,
and it’s definitely heavier. The flavor is very subtle, there’s only a hint of
liver, but it’s very nuanced. It’s got these little flecks of red, and orange in it. I
guess that’s some kind of mild chili peppers.
Overall quite good. I get the
feeling that so far this would be the most popular terrine with Americans so
far. Make it spicier, dunk it in cheese, have it with a beer, and you got yourself a hit. Let’s see, apparently, aside from ingredients in common with the other two
it has: pepper (I guess what means hot pepper), and Espelette pepper…what the
hell does that mean? To the internet! Ok, according to Wikipedia, Espelette
peppers are a type of mild pepper grown in France. It has a heat rating of
about 4,000 Scoville Heat Units (SHU). To put that in perspective, jalapenos rate
from 2,500 to 5,000 SHU. I’m
sorry for the brevity, but the sound of my room mate throwing up is very
distracting. Enjoy another French video.
If the blog isn’t gay enough for you as is, this may do the trick. Stay queer!
