CALL ME BRIE OSH
What a fun way to end this subject! I loved the futuristic recipes and almost brought bags of salad leaves to pour over the table but I wasn’t sure this would be well received. Instead, I opted for little brioche buns with ham and cheese. I chose brioche, which dates back to the 15th century and supposedly derives its name from the old French verb “brier” which means ‘to work the dough’, because it’s another thing that my French exchange student could cook. We recognise this food as French as it is referred to by its French name, just as Carème explained. It’s believed that brioche originated in Normandy, a region in the northwest of France. However this deliciously sweet, fluffy bread can be found all over France and in the bread isle in your local Coles. Unfortunately, I couldn’t make it at home so made the trek to Coles. Even though it didn’t require too much preparation, my little brother helped me chop up the little brioche buns and put the ham and cheese inside. Although I realised this was so I couldn’t say no when he asked to eat one. My classmates at the food fair thought they were super cute and most were eaten. My display could have been more thoughtful, I sat the buns on the lid of my container–It was too tricky to take the display stand on the bus. But overall I was happy with them…I feel inspired to try and make my own brioche! I did manage to bring a few home for the family – much to their delight.
