Chapter 2 Eating in the North: Rough Style Mixed Vegetable and Meat Skewers

Travel is the same as a song, each bar is connected to form a beautiful melody, if it is cut into intermittent notes, there is no meaning at all.For me, the famous gourmet and traveler Bell Gritos, the days of traveling in the northern county of the Kingdom of Arthur have always been difficult and joyful, confusing and wonderful, in short, it is an unforgettable experience experience.

The Northern County of the Kingdom of Arthur is a place with barren land, bitter cold and snowy winters, and dry and windy summers. In addition to the dusk forest, which is regarded as a natural barrier by travelers, there is also a raging black river that threatens the safety of the journey.The people here are also fierce and good at fighting, and they are rebellious, especially the mountain people in the dark forest and the aborigines in the decaying swamp, it is very difficult to deal with.However, for an adventurous traveler, these exotic customs did not hinder my pace, but made me even more excited.

On the third day after leaving Fermeyer, the capital of glory, in a traveling carriage, the trees on both sides of the road began to grow tall and dense, standing proudly like countless dark green giant guards.Pedestrians and business travelers are becoming scarcer day by day. Fortunately, no matter whether it is a rest hotel or a manor farm, you can stay overnight. After the sun goes down, it is very easy to find a place that can serve a hot soup meal and a warm firepit.

For those tough-tempered people, the food they eat seems to be as rough as their personalities. I have tasted tomato saury, dried ham and boiled quail eggs in roadside hotels and farm houses, and I also have excellent grilled cuttlefish. Roasted onions brushed with a thick meat sauce, the crispy skin and tender pork knuckles make the gums fragrant, and the combination of crisp and refreshing cucumbers, garlic, and diced tomatoes, together with finely chopped basil and rosemary, Served on crispy toast, it's mouth-watering.

But what impresses me the most is the combination of kebabs, green celery and cucumber, red tomato and pepper, brown mushroom and purple onion, served with fat-removed and seasoned pickled topping Good loin meat - both bison and domestic pig taste quite good - the roughness is so good that you can't help but feel a little giddy, can't stop munching, and can drink a lot of lager and scalding hot soju.
