Have you ever visited Bordeaux ?
There are different districts in Bordeaux, and they have all their own story. We never told it, but our team of Thirsty Gluttons was born in Bordeaux in the Bacalan district.
And I hear you say "Bacalan ? What does it mean ?"
Some people say that it comes from the name of the Bacalan family, from Sauveterre de Guyenne, which in the seventeenth century, was a Protestant family which counted among its members a large number of parliamenters from Bordeaux...
This story can be interesting but for us, Thirsty Gluttons that we are, it have not a great interest..
Not as the story (true or not..) which tell that the origin of the name of this district come from cod ! Actually, the portuguese word to say cod is "bacalhau", and there were a lot of cod trade in this port district in the past !
Bacalan here we are !
Cod... A lot of people say that it's hard to cook cod, but it will be easier for them after reading this article !
What are you making for dinner tonight ? Cod !
These thick cuts of cod are marinated in orange juice and fennel seeds before roasting. You can serve with sweet corn salad with green beans and hazelnuts.
This kind of dish needs to be balanced acidity. That's why we decided to taste a Chenin Blanc from South Africa
and a Sauvignon Blanc from New Zealand..
That's all folks ! See you guys !!!
great!!
