■ Giant Moussaka ■
By the way, the movie Greece that was made is here.
The traditional food Moussaka becomes very violent.
If it were in Japan, it would be like Okonomiyaki
suddenly growing enormous and attacking everything.
The heroine is a cross-dresser and has a gay relationship with the main character.
Speaking of which, Greek movies tend to have a main character with gay hobbies, huh.

■ A Timeless Question ■
【Why is cow meat called beef?】
It seems that British nobles used to employ French chefs
and a system of ordering meat in French was established.
They would say “beef” (cow in French is boeuf),
“pork” (pig in French is porc) and “mutton” (mouton).
So “beef” is actually from the French.
Long ago, when England was conquered by the French,
the French high society stayed around and
the English worked for them for a time
(though this happened after the 100 years war).
It seems that there was a mixing of the English and the French.
By the way, meat from animals like birds and rabbits didn’t get special names.
This is because they weren’t part of the French cooking repertoire.
Anyway, it seems that England relied
too heavily on French cuisine and consequently
they developed rather poor taste, saying things like
“Macdonald’s is delicious! Not only that, but it’s cheap, too!”

*Topical event related to British cuisine*
［LONDON, May 22 (Reuters Life!)］
British Airways has banned cabin crew from microwaving their own food after a curry exploded at 35,000 feet, causing around $40,000 of damage to an aircraft.
A fire extinguisher was used to tackle the blaze on April 30 on a Heathrow to Miami flight, when the high-powered microwave ignited a ready meal that a stewardess had bought from a supermarket.
“The fire lasted only a couple of seconds,” said a BA spokesman. “As a precaution a specialist extinguisher was used in the microwave. However, at no time was there any danger to passengers or the aircraft.”
That was the UK, which had a curry explosion.
