What better to illustrate the story today that an apple tree in blossom ... photo taken from the blog potato. discover with some disappointment the character of Alice Waters, of which so much talk around here. It turns out that tomorrow we will go see the movie 'Dirt' (which you already I have spoken Fernandez Factory), which deals with 'the soil', the use we make of it, its exploitation and its future. On Tuesday, following the premiere of the movie, there will be a round table to participate G. Sposito (my teacher here) and the star of the local cuisine, Alice Waters .
Alice Waters is a star, among other things, it is a major spokesman for the Slow Food movement worldwide, and because his famed Berkeley restaurant serving only seasonal produce and organic farming (the huertu, come on ...) . Here in Berkeley it, as we Asturian (not Asturias) village family as normal as it seems, is something that people pay lots of money! (Just to see the prices of Chez Panisse, the restaurant of the above). It
to eat an apple tree is becoming a luxury. And go to a restaurant with seasonal and organic farming is expensive!! We're going crazy?
Of course, the first thing that comes to mind is the stew of Esther, especially this week told me that the beans are at $ 40 a kilo (!), Or proa apples, or tomatoes from the garden Pepe big ...
I very much like the initiative of Ms. Waters to try that American schools are serving breakfast and afternoon fruit for children to learn to eat ... But I do not like the example of eating huertu products come along with having money, being a 'cool Berkeley' or the more sophisticated class.
Anyway ... all must have in this world.
