Ces Aliments Imposteurs Ne Sont Pas Ce Qu'ils Prétendent Être

Sympa

Saviez-vous que certaines choses ne sont pas réellement ce que nous les appelons ? Prenons la cannelle, par exemple – la plupart de ce que nous achetons est en réalité de la cassia, une épice totalement différente. La noix de muscade et le macis proviennent du même plant mais sont utilisés différemment. L'arôme de vanille provient souvent de la vanilline synthétique au lieu de véritables gousses de vanille. Alors, la prochaine fois que vous assaisonnerez votre nourriture, vous pourriez obtenir quelque chose d'un peu différent de ce que vous pensiez !

00:00Are you ready for a spicy adventure?

00:03Let's talk cinnamon.

00:04Most of us sprinkle our oatmeal, our toast and our apple pies with this very nice spice.

00:12But did you know that some sneaky sellers try to sell us fake cinnamon?

00:16So, how to spot the imposture?

00:19The real cinnamon is called Ceylon cinnamon.

00:21The fake one is called Cochinchin cinnamon.

00:24To distinguish them, just observe the sticks themselves.

00:28The real cinnamon is clear and its bark is thin and delicate.

00:32The fake cinnamon is dark and thicker.

00:35But don't worry, no need to be a fine connoisseur to appreciate the real cinnamon.

00:39Just make sure that the label says Ceylon cinnamon.

00:43Your grandparents will thank you.

00:45Is the white chocolate authentic or is it an imposture?

00:49It's time to cut this debate once and for all.

00:52Some say it's not even chocolate because it doesn't contain cocoa.

00:56But let's not judge a book by its cover.

00:58Or a chocolate by its color, okay?

01:01Technically, white chocolate is made from cocoa butter, milk and sugar.

01:06Which makes it a distant cousin of the whiter chocolate varieties.

01:10But if you want my opinion, the family is the family.

01:13Even if its members don't look alike and don't have the same taste.

01:17And don't let anyone tell you that white chocolate is not delicious.

01:20Because it is.

01:22Its sweet and creamy texture and its sweet and tangy flavor

01:26make it a delicious snack, alone or in bakery products such as biscuits and cakes.

01:32Whether you consider white chocolate or not as real chocolate,

01:36let's agree that it is a delicious snack that we can all enjoy.

01:41Why do Americans say that fries are French?

01:44Hang on to your potatoes.

01:46Because it turns out that the origins of the famous fries are a little more complicated than you might think.

01:51If it is true that French cuisine is at the source of some of the most delicious dishes in the world,

01:56like snails and coconut,

01:58the fries actually come from Belgium.

02:00Indeed, it is in the country of waffles and chocolate

02:03that our crispy little friends were prepared for the first time.

02:07But that's where things get even more interesting.

02:10If we call them French fries in the United States,

02:13it's actually because of their preparation, and not because of their country of origin.

02:17The term French, in this context, refers to the technique of cutting potatoes

02:22into long and thin slices called julienne.

02:25This technique was popularized in France in the 18th century,

02:29hence this ultra-Atlantic name.

02:32Do you want to add snails to your order?

02:34Of course, they are delicious.

02:36But why is everything mixed up around this?

02:38First of all, let's talk about eggs.

02:40Snails don't really contain any.

02:42If we generally believe it,

02:44it is because of the thin crepe envelope that we prepare with eggs.

02:47So there are only eggs in this cover,

02:50which keeps all the other ingredients warm inside.

02:53But what about the garnish?

02:55That's a very good question.

02:57Imperial rolls can be garnished with anything you want.

03:00Vegetables, meat, seafood, etc.

03:04Some people even like to add a little cheese or rice to make good measure.

03:10But then things get a little weird.

03:12There is a debate in the world of Nem's

03:14about whether they should be fried or cooked in the oven.

03:18For my part, I opt for the fried version.

03:21I love this crispy and golden envelope.

03:24It's something incomparable.

03:26You may have to sit down now.

03:29Strawberries are not berries, but bananas are.

03:32You don't believe me?

03:34Here's what you need to know.

03:36A berry is a fruity fruit produced from a single type of cell.

03:40And guess what?

03:42Bananas respond perfectly to this definition.

03:44They may not be as juicy as a watermelon

03:47or as acidulous as a raspberry,

03:49but they are berries.

03:51They used to be called bear koalas,

03:53but it was a mistake.

03:55Koalas are not bears.

03:57These cute and cuddly creatures are marsupials,

03:59which means they carry their young in a pocket.

04:02And even though they look a bit like teddy bears,

04:05they have no kinship with them.

04:07But we can't blame people for thinking that koalas are bears.

04:11After all, they have this fluffy fur

04:14and round ears that make them look like they're ready for a hug.

04:18But koalas are a species in its own right.

04:21They have amazing characteristics that make them quite unique,

04:25such as their eucalyptus-based diet

04:28and their ability to sleep up to 22 hours a day.

04:31Seriously, how do they do it?

04:34If you don't know the history of the Boston cream pie,

04:37you'll be surprised.

04:39First of all, let's be clear.

04:42The Boston cream pie is not a pie.

04:45I know, I know, it's in the name.

04:48But trust me.

04:50It's a delicious cake filled with pastry cream

04:53and covered with a succulent chocolate glaze.

04:56So you may be wondering why it's called Boston cream pie.

04:59The legend says it was invented by a cook

05:02at the Parker House Hotel in Boston in 1856.

05:06This cook, who apparently had a great sense of humor,

05:09decided to call it a pie just to make fun of people.

05:13And the name stayed.

05:15But let's not forget the real star of this dessert,

05:17the pastry cream.

05:19Fluffy, creamy, and just what you need to sweeten,

05:22that's what makes this cake so special.

05:25And this chocolate glaze on top?

05:27It's the cherry on the cake.

05:29But without cherries.

05:31Is the peanut a nut?

05:33This question may sound stupid,

05:35but you'd be surprised to know

05:37how many people are wrong about this.

05:39Let's be clear once and for all.

05:42Peanuts are a vegetable.

05:44Indeed, they are part of the same family

05:47as beans and lentils.

05:49But don't worry.

05:51We won't hold a grudge against them.

05:53After all, they are in their place at the time of the aperitif.

05:56But here's something that may surprise you.

05:59Even if peanuts are not nuts,

06:02they can still cause similar allergies.

06:06Indeed, they contain proteins

06:09similar to those of peanuts,

06:11like almonds.

06:13Therefore, if you are allergic to nuts,

06:15it is better to be wary of peanuts.

06:17Have you ever used the term

06:20tinfoil to designate aluminum foil?

06:23Me neither.

06:25But in the past, many people used

06:27these two terms interchangeably.

06:29Why?

06:30A long time ago,

06:32aluminum foil was made of tin.

06:34In the 19th century,

06:36before aluminum became a good market,

06:38tin foil was used to pack food.

06:41But when aluminum foil appeared,

06:43it quickly became the most popular choice

06:46because it was cheaper and easier to produce.

06:49Then, the word was lost.

06:51And aluminum foil was first marketed

06:53under the name of tin foil,

06:55especially in the United States.

06:57And then, these two materials have similar properties.

06:59That's why at the time,

07:01the two terms were used interchangeably.

07:03Anyway, whatever the reason,

07:05one thing is certain.

07:06If you ask for tin foil paper today

07:08in a supermarket,

07:09no one will understand.

07:11You may be surprised to learn

07:13that your faithful Pyrex dish

07:15is not at all Pyrex.

07:17Don't be mistaken.

07:19The counterfeit always does the trick.

07:21But it's not the same thing.

07:23Check the label when you buy a dish

07:26and you'll know what it's made of.

07:28Here is a memory aid

07:30that will allow you to know

07:32what type of container you have in your closet.

07:34If you see the word Pyrex

07:36with a lowercase p on a dish,

07:38it means that it goes neither to the oven

07:41nor to the microwave.

07:43It is probably soda glass.

07:45Use these containers

07:47to store food.

07:49However, if you see Pyrex in capital letters,

07:51you are lucky.

07:53This kitchen utensil is made

07:55from a special type of glass

07:57and can be heated in the oven or microwave.

07:59But don't put it under the oven grill.

08:01It could cause damage.

08:03And if you put your Pyrex in the oven,

08:05make sure to let it rest

08:07at room temperature for 30 minutes

08:09to prevent it from breaking.
