Chapter 612 Food Festival
The East African Military Advisory Group was sent to the Orange Free State together with military supplies to assist the Orange people. After all, the East African Military Advisory Group's apparent identity was to be purchased by the Orange people. Weapons Austro-Hungarian after-sales personnel.
The after-sale of this weapon is a normal operation, so it complies with international arms trade procedures, and it also facilitates East Africa's intervention in the civil strife in the Orange Free State.
If they really go to the Orange Free State under the banner of East Africa, it will not look good on both sides. Although the British and Transvaal people know that East Africa will definitely come in as a troublemaker, as long as this is not revealed, As a fig leaf, everyone is still "friends" on the surface.
While the outer reaches of East Africa are in dire straits, the First Town is holding the first National Food Festival in East Africa, which is in sharp contrast to the war-torn Orange Free State.
Fortunately, there is no news network in East Africa, otherwise it would definitely be compared. Of course, there is no news network in East Africa, but there is still no shortage of newspapers, so there will definitely be a page to promote this food festival.
“Based on the experience of each sub-region last year, for this food-related report, we should focus on the city of Nairobi. East Africans are the most particular about food, and Nairobi City is the most picky about food in the whole of East Africa. The most picky area, so we have to give more coverage to Nairobi City in this issue,” Mark, the president of East Africa News Agency, told his staff.
“President, don’t worry, we all understand this. After all, many immigrants in Nairobi come from the Venice region of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, as well as immigrants from the Far East. Both sides have different pursuits of food. This is It is famous all over the country, and we will definitely pay more attention to it.”
As a true Saxon, President Mark agrees with this, because the Germans are too rough when it comes to food. What a talent.
“Well, Leon is right. Italians are more picky about ingredients and pay attention to techniques and procedures. At the same time, they are unwilling to accept improvements to traditional Italian cuisine, while Far Easterners pay great attention to the freshness of ingredients in their pursuit of ingredients. , while pursuing rich taste and using many methods, we in East Africa seem to be divided into three companies in the field of food, but in fact there are two strong ones competing for hegemony.”
The separation of the three companies naturally added German catering, but German catering was very scarce, especially in the 19th century. As for the famous German sausages, ordinary people generally couldn't afford meat sausages, and more were offal sausages mixed with vegetarian food, which tasted delicious. It's a lot worse, but it's pretty good for German civilians who haven't eaten anything good.
German pickled sauerkraut is very famous, but East Africans don’t like it. After all, sauerkraut is good for appetizing, but East Africa is in the tropics, and fresh fruits and vegetables are in constant supply all year round. There are better choices, sauerkraut. The demand is very small, but some people will pickle sauerkraut according to the traditional method, and it is good to change the taste occasionally.
In short, German catering cannot compete with Italian or Far Eastern catering. Of course, an important reason for this characteristic is that many Italian immigrants in East Africa come from the Venetian region.
The Venice region is considered a relatively wealthy region in Italy, and is a traditional commercial center in the Mediterranean region. It is also located near the Po River Plain in Italy, with the Alps in the north. As the saying goes, you can eat the mountains if you rely on the mountains, and you can eat the sea if you rely on the sea. Venice lacks everything, and even if it does, it can import it.
So the living standards of the people in Venice are better than those in Germany and the Far East. If it weren't for the war, no one would choose to leave their hometown and develop in East Africa.
Mark continued: "This food festival is a good news material. In conjunction with the conflict in the Orange Free State in the south, our newspaper sales should be good this month, so everyone should be active."
East Africa Domestic There is no shortage of news, but national competition-type social events like the National Food Festival are rare, which is also an important reason why Mark actively promotes the promotion of this food festival.
"Okay, let's break up the meeting!" Mark said.
Next, the reporters from the East Africa News Agency started taking action. The finishing point of the race was located in the first town, so it was very convenient.
Today is Sunday, so there are a lot of people on the street. Everyone is usually busy with work, so naturally they take advantage of their rest day to go shopping with their families and other activities.
"The topic of the first game of the competition is to use the ingredients provided by the official. The specific content is not limited. The contestants will use their strengths to make their own special dishes, and then the judges and citizens will evaluate them." The host announced. The competition was on the streets of San Antonio Street, so there were many people coming to watch. As for the police, there were police on site to maintain order and prevent stampedes.
"Mr. Rawls, you are the winner of the Nairobi City Competition and one of the favorites to win this food festival. What food will you make today?" East Africa News reporter Rocks asked.
Rolls replied: "Because the official ingredients are provided, this makes me less selective. However, there are still a lot of official ingredients, so there is more room for choice. Here are I plan to make a beef soup based on this beef, along with carrots, onions, various spices and seasonings."
"Which player do you think is the biggest threat to you today?"< br>
"Mr. Val." Rawls replied without thinking.
“As far as I know, Mr. Val is also good at Italian food. You are all from the Venice area. Why do you think he is your biggest threat?”
“It’s because he and I are both. Being from Venice, our dishes are probably the most similar, so I put him first,” Rawls said.
"Well, Mr. Val is one of the winners of the Mombasa City Division, and his strength should also be very strong." The Rocks reporter agreed with Rawls' statement.
Although Nairobi is a famous "foodie" city in East Africa, the players from Mombasa and Dar es Salaam are certainly not bad either.
On the one hand, Mombasa and Dar es Salaam are the two leading economic regions in East Africa, and there are basically no shortcomings in various fields. This is even more vividly demonstrated in the catering industry.
Mombasa and Dar es Salaam, as the windows to East Africa’s external economy, have the largest number of foreigners and numerous restaurants and hotels. The catering industry is out of sync with other cities in East Africa.
In these two cities, you can find Chinese food, French food, Italian food, Indian food, Arabic food... all the mainstream food in the world.
So when it comes to choosing the food city in East Africa, it must be chosen between Mombasa and Dar es Salaam. Nairobi is actually famous for its foodies, so Nairobi is more suitable to be the judge. .
On the other hand, Mombasa and Dar es Salaam are not on the same level as Nairobi in terms of population. The only cities that can compare with Mombasa and Dar es Salaam are Mu Beia City.
As for the textile industry in Nairobi, it also exists in Mombasa and Dar es Salaam, and there are other industries in these two cities.
With a large population, the relative competition will be greater. In addition, the economic vitality of Mombasa and Dar es Salaam is stronger than that of Nairobi, so the catering industry in these two cities is stronger than that of Nairobi.
As for the city of Mbeya, which is deep in the interior, it is far inferior to the other three cities in terms of catering. On the contrary, Soga City, the future technology city of East Africa, and the First Town of the Capital City can compete with it. Compare.
Soga City has a high income and strong spending power. At the same time, the East African government, or Ernst, attaches great importance to the treatment of professional talents, and the First Town City, as the capital of East Africa, cannot be inferior in this regard.
