Aldini Brothers Quotes

“Unlike Japan, Italy's cuisine has long centered on meat dishes.
In their home province of Tuscany, duck, rabbit, and even boar would be served in the right season.
I suspect that is how they learned how to butcher and dress a duck.
The breast meat was glazed with a mixture of soy sauce, Japanese mustard, black pepper and honey to give it a strong, spicy fragrance...
the perfect complement to the sauce.
Duck and salsa verde.
They found and enhanced the Japanese essence of both...
... to create an impressive and thoroughly Japanese dish!”

“Oops!"
"Are you okay, Tadokoro?"
"Isami! Takumi!"
"Yukihira! How dare you make a lady carry so many heavy things! You are a disgrace to proper gentlemen everywhere!”

“Japanese people may find this surprising, but eel is a common ingredient in European cuisine.
Kurokiba's Eel Matelote from the Classic's Semifinal Round is one such European dish."
"Southern Italy in particular has a tradition of eating eel right around Natale, which is Christmas. It's often served during the feasts for La Vigilia on Christmas Eve night.
The eels are supposed to symbolize devils, and eating them is thought to be a charm warding off bad luck and evil spirits.”
