Des de Tallahassee, capital de Florida on vam tenir una reunió de treball, vam conduir fins a Thomasville (Georgia), una ciutat de 18000 habitants.
We drove from Tallahassee (capital of Florida state), where we met for a meeting, to Thomasville (GA), a 18,000 population town located close to the border between the two states.
Allí un restaurant organitzava un sopar dedicat a la cuina del sud de França (Llenguadoc i Rosselló) i per proximitat de Catalunya.
There a local restaurant organized a dinner dedicated to the sourthern french cuisine and, by proximity, to the catalan one.
A Thomasville vaig minjar fricandó (al menú apareix com ‘Bull Stew’, estofat de vedella) i crema catalana, qui ho havia de dir!.
There I ate frincadó (bull stew) and crema catalana. Weird!.
Oh! and everything excellent…
Pensant que era una broma, va resultar finalment que se’m va demanar dir unes paraules sobre la cuina catalana als allí presents. A pèl, sense preparar res… Afortunadament no hi ha documents gràfics.
Initially thinking it was not serious, I was finally asked to talk a bit about the catalan cuisine without any chance to prepare a fancy speech. Fortunately there are not footage…
