Bbravo Simona, bravo nation!
We are talking here about the opposite of "making fun of trouble" which is "making fun of success". However, we excel in both. There were the anecdotes, there were the benches, the pamphlet, now we have the statuses, the memes, timesnewroman.ro and farazat.ro
Yesterday, Simona Halep won Wimbledon. Also yesterday, Wimbledon won, in turn, a well-deserved champion. Win-win or win-Wim.
At first there were congratulations, positive energy, enthusiasm. Then we revealed our stubbornness.
I saw a meme where Serena was holding a beer cap that said "try again". It's like booing Dukadam for conceding a penalty. And also from the "jokes" category, I identified a tray for food in the English trophy. I filled it with mitites, Rose sausages and meat balls. Mix grill as the tournament organizers would say. Six-two, six-two, pig food.
I remember (I'm not putting my hand in the fire because it's his) an interview about 15 years ago with CTP (I couldn't ignore it in a text that is also related to tennis) with the title: "if we have no fun, at least let's be embarrassing!".
A big, huge, enormous tray, MEGA-TRAY, full of meatballs and "potatoes" - the gourmet dream of a hungry nation, hungry for much, good and cheap (the extremely wrong slogan of Călinescu's Tavern in the Timpuri Noi area). Culinary orgasm of a people with frustrations in the esophagus. "Huge schnitzel", "Huge pretzel", "Huge papanasi". Gulliver mocked and put on the rotisserie in Lilliputania.
With us, the shaorma must be with everything, that's why I prefer the dills from Calif (don't forget that I will give an opinion about the shaorma with everything on July 24 together with Chef Foa, Iulian Comănescu, Andi Moisescu and Dragoș Vasile at Qreator, details here)
Between the Turkish mezelik (mezze in Greece) and the Neapolitan mezelik there is an abysmal fracture of perception.
Let's see what the dictionaries say:
sausageandc Fine snack at the beginning of the meal. Si: aperitif, (inv) mezel(1). 2 Delicatessen. 3 (Rare) Flavor. 4 Frugal food. 5 (Fig) Thing of no importance or that presents no difficulties Si: trifle, trifle. 6 (Reg) Salted and Roasted Pumpkin Seeds. 7 (Mun) Roasted corn kernels And: popcorn.
MIZIL Snack, aperitif. ♦ Frugal food. ♦ Fig. Trifle, trifle.
Fine snack, delicacy vs aperitif, frugal food. Quality vs quantity.
Amouse bouche versus "not enough for one table".
Our starter is an appetite suppressant. It inhibits you, if not outright angers you. "Well, that's what I gave the money for?!!! Fuck their fine dining", at KFC it was cheaper ("fine dining with little money" - the slogan of one of their campaigns from 2017). The platter (diminutive, pampered, although it is a kilo of food, as if to "get us out", to avoid being identified with the gluttons, the insatiable, the nehalites) from weddings, parties and other events is the standard of well-being and the given over the noses of country relatives whose big, gossipy mouths can only be stuffed with salami roses, roe boats and tomatoes stuffed with aubergine salad).
We are energetically climbing the social ladder, having the "highest food waste per capita". We thus celebrate a double victory: a ranking in which we are also in first place and, at the same time, Simone's victory. We are good, we are the best. That's it, we've done our job and we can retire to the Laboratory in Bucegi for a siesta.
PS I'm surprised how the four-thread splitters didn't go deeper and talk about the quantitative differences between the mitites. It's one thing to pile up small Dedulești, another calculation with those from Terasa Obor.
