Between Johnny Depp and a strawberry ice cream My favorite treats

To my friend Roberto Coria, with all my love.

Then he had a dream that buried
claws and teeth

in rosy bellies and breasts of women, and delicate desserts swallowed
for food
and dinner like a tiger
between greedy greedy,
a few dozen children
tender, fair and tasty.

"Summer", Rubén Darío.





If I were to choose between spending an evening with Johnny Depp and a strawberry ice cream choose, without hesitation, ice cream, because you can not make love with Johnny Depp and the Revolution on Sunday at noon. This lesson was learned from a wise man: Vitorio Beristain, protagonist of the novel After death, David Martín del Campo, only Vito is torn between Meg Ryan and cold dessert.
Vito is an average man, opaque, what Baudelaire called a hero of everyday life: feel the great joy of having nothing makes us feel "how great and poetic we are with our patent-leather boots" (1) and our work tape. Vito is the antithesis of Johnny Depp.
Considered one of the sexiest men in the world, beautiful, full of fortune and fame, Deep is well known for her film work. In his most recent appearance in the film Alice in Wonderland director Tim Burton as the Mad Hatter. If we go back to the original text of Lewis Carroll, Alice's desktop find strange and Hatter around a cup of tea, table in the movie have a sexual tinge. Why
the Hatter is mad? Paracelsus, in 1567, described the chronic mercury poisoning. The hat makers used mercury nitrate to cure leather rabbit. These artisans were the most susceptible to poisoning, which was called "madness of hatters." (2)
Another character played by Deep and has left a mark on his followers is Benjamin Barker, who adopts the personality of Sweeney Todd. Barker is associated with Mrs. Lovett in a restaurant whose specialty is the human meat pies.
The perfect blend of madness and cannibalism Sombrereo of Sweeney Todd is another character: the psychiatrist Hannibal Lecter. Created by sensationalist journalist Thomas Harris, Lecter is best known as Hannibal "the cannibal".
The lack of view, the low use of reason, not necessarily manifest themselves in exalted states or degrading treatment. Hannibal Lecter speaks several languages, is an educated man, music lover, bon vivant. It is known for his love of good food and make excellent wine pairings between large number of know and ingredients obtained from the bodies of their patients.
Indeed, in some moments in history people have been forced to eat their congeners by the lack of food, by any extreme situation like being stuck in the snow, miles away from civilization. The consumption of human flesh was also a symbolic element, an element within the magic ritual and religion and a resource to preserve political power.
The term comes from the word cannibal Caniba, used by some inhabitants of the coasts of the Caribbean Sea to designate groups cannibals. When Christopher Columbus arrived in America heard the word and, around 1515, it began using this term with the connotation that we give today. Eating
neighbor is a topic that fascinates after dinner, so much so that Fray Bartolome de las Casas, Francisco de Vitoria, and Michael de Montaigne, among others, looked after him.
will have to imagine the amazement of the Europeans to come to Mexico and found land with scenes like the Fray Bernardino de Sahagun writes:

After having ripped the heart and blood poured into a gourd, which the master received the murdered man, is beginning to roll the body up the steps of the pyramid. Ended up stopping at a small square below. There some old men, whom they called quaquacuiltin, seized him and took it to the tribal temple, where he was dismembered and divided to eating (3)

defense is well known that Fray Bartolomé Houses made of the Indians. Beyond the atrocities committed with the Mexica Indians from other groups focused on defending all of the English atrocities committed, however, did not deny, though it qualified the acts of cannibalism:

Some

Sometimes the old priests ate these hearts, the other buried them. Fact that sacrifice, giving the body down the steps. And if it was at war prisoners, who lit it with family and friends and they did llevábanlo cooking, and other meals, composed a joyful feast. (4)

Before that priests or those who have the right to eat the resulting body of a sacrifice, the premiere was for the gods:

Aztec gods devour human beings. They ate human hearts and drank human blood. And the explicit role of the Aztec priesthood was to provide fresh human hearts and blood to avoid the relentless fury deities and maimed, sick, crush and burn everyone. (5)

Slaughtering consumption of the human body have been, in different cultures, one of the most important elements to match. For example, the Celtic warriors ate the hearts of their enemies killed in combat, the more courageous was the opponent, there will be greater benefits from eating his entrails. And as with the Aztec gods that devour their worshipers, the opposite may happen: the Catholic communion is the clearest example, where you eat the body and blood of God.
Theodore Sturgeon, science fiction writer, muses on this sacred food in his novel Main divine. In a deeply puritanical American people a man is suddenly red. The author never says that in the case of Jesus Christ, but we infer despite the color of your hair. Desktops know the most famous story: after the last supper Judas Iscariot delivery to the messiah for slaughter. Stugeon in the history of the discourse that precedes the betrayal is different from that known by religious institutions. El Salvador this document explains that the only way to get in touch with the divine is through a beloved body. The messiah of Sturgeon not only accepts the communion by eating other meat, for him the closest contact with God occurs through sex. This makes me think of the sexual interpretations of cannibalism.
Imagine a luxurious restaurant with tables of exotic woods, fine linens, delicate china. A marvelous chef prepares the finest cuisine, they will not be appreciated by anyone need an educated palate that has a vile thief. However, the thief is the owner of the place and, with their crude and vulgar ways, his refined wife seeks a passionate lover of literature, good table manners. On discovering the thief kills the lover. The wife, in revenge, we serve the most amazing dish: roast lover's body together with different fittings. Is the film The Cook, The Thief, His Wife & Her Lover (1989), by Peter Greenaway. The director describes his work as a "moral tale about the adventures of the alimentary canal, which begins in the mouth and ends at the anus." (6)
But not only is the alimentary canal. In one scene where you can taste French cuisine is the same thief who explains: "The parties daring and dirty parts are very close, proving that eating and sex are related." Maybe that's why we say we want to eat you with kisses to people and in different languages \u200b\u200b(Portuguese, for example) use the verb eat to refer to sexual intercourse. Greenaway
also refers, metaphorically, to the voracious cannibalism as the main feature of capitalism.
In a world where only a few enjoy wealth and thousands die of famine, the Irish writer Jonathan Swift, author of the renowned "Gulliver's Travels", wrote an essay in 1729 entitled "A Modest Proposal." Swift's proposal to "prevent the poor children of Ireland are a burden to their parents or country, and make them profitable for society," was for wealthy children to eat less. In this way, parents would pay a fee, thus you would not need or mistreated children or pregnant women, "and the important families would enjoy delicious meals with high protein. A kind of "humanitarian cannibalism." Business round benefit to all. Few understood the irony.
"There is more barbarity in eating a man alive than in eating dead, to tear through torment and torture a body still full of feeling, roast it slowly, do bite and hurt by the dogs and pig roast ... that after his death "(7). Are the reflections of Montaigne on the subject of cannibalism of the Brazilian Indians and wars in the sixteenth century Europe beat.
I can not say that the French artist Roland Topor was inspired by Montaigne, Swift, or Hannibal Lecter, what I can say is that Topor created a new culinary trend that would have fascinated any of the three. In his book offers several recipes cooking cannibal-accompanied by illustrations-a disturbing way of poems. Among dishes that stand out are a "steak wine seller, a" Champion of the podium, "delicious" mashed head chief ", a sweet white roses Mama", the "girls thighs legs air "and the very tasty" Lovers in desperate cause. "
But my intention is to make these reflections in a cooking class, let me reproduce here the recipe for "fried to brissac Baby"

baby Chop sliced \u200b\u200bnot too thick, let it acquire a little of colorcillo in hot butter, then add shallots and finely chopped parsley. Allow five minutes, sprinkle a tablespoon of flour and when the flour is mixed with the meat, season with a tear and a glass of milk.
Add salt and pepper and simmer for one hour. Ten minutes before serving, add a spoon of cough syrup. This way of preparing
babies is excellent, far from tightening the soul, yet tender. (8)

Topor Failure is not providing dessert recipes. And the best dessert is the eye cannibal. Robert Louis Stevenson, in the South Seas, using the term "candy cannibal" to refer to what might be delicious for Aboriginal people. George Bataille takes this term and uses it in his History of the eye. For its part, Margo Glantz, making the introduction to this work of Bataille, said that the eye causes concern because it represents the conscience, as the entrance to the seduction that rubs against the horror, so we seldom dare to bite an eye (human or not).
Topor's book is the desire of Hannibal Lecter met: refinement above all, to make death and food masterpieces-the perfect combination of what was written by Thomas de Quincey in his essay "Murder as a Fine Arts , and what the most famous gourmet, Anthelme Brillat-Savarin said in his treatises on cooking. The latter states: "The desire to eat is common with the beasts, one assumes hunger and the need to silence." Eating our fellow
dehumanizes us, brings us closer to the beasts or, rather, makes us less than them. It is the most degrading state of man. Remember the old saying: "Dog does not eat dog meat." However, cannibalism may also result in the highest state, at least I referred to serial murderers, real and fictional, which eat their victims, or the religions that claim that the consumption of human flesh the Godhead contact . We are all potentially cannibalistic, "cannibal taking tea and biscuits." (9)
I guess what the cannibal looking for, it wants most, is savored himself: he who eats me will savor his own flesh. Hannibal's why we eat, because he wants to prove. So the gods require our body as food, because we are made in His likeness. Whoever eats its like tasting your own essence, reveals the mysteries of life and death. And maybe become a poet, like the famous cannibal who ate the Guerrero their girlfriends and then I write poetry.
In Ovid's Metamorphoses tells the story of Erysichthon, a man not to give offerings to the gods punished. Demeter is condemned to eternal hunger, insatiable. Erysichthon ends up eating himself himself to end his torment. After an act of this nature there is no dessert or desktop possible.
"Man is the best food of man," says Topor. The human body is the food last, total, conclusive. Eating it would mean, as the singer Joaquín Sabina, that the end point of the end does not follow two dots.

How Many Calories Are In Chow Meing

I became obsessed by the sugar. I had about 4 years old when, one Sunday at noon, I took a walk in the park. A wafer Weird colors caught my attention. Stuffed with a little brown sugar and decorated with pumpkin seeds settled in my mind and that continue today. I played with a coin dealer and won my first fricassee. Taste did not last long. When jumping a ditch, my candy fell to the mud. So great was the pain of loss, alerted by my tears, my parents searched throughout the park to the seller that never appeared. I remember crying for hours.
That same afternoon, a little more quiet in my room, I asked my mom to take out my favorite dress of the closet. Corrected me: "do not say closet, that's in English, English is wardrobe." Curious I began to question the English names of all the things around me:
- How do you say table?
-Table
- How do you say door?
-Door
Until I asked the question that was to mark: And what is said in English fricassee? It was the beginning of my diseases.
guess this episode is the culprit, in my adulthood, men have tasted as if it were dessert: the gingerbread, the panellet, the pumpkin pie (a boy who looked like missing teeth and Halloween pumpkin ), tiramisu and, of course, pepitorias, who are all men who could not taste and I can never eat.
