| 词汇 | lobster thermidor |
| 词源 | lobster Thermidor. Creamy lobster Thermidor may have been invented by a French chef in honor of Napoleon. But some culinary experts contend that this classic fare was named for Victorian Sardou’s play Thermidor and first served to the public on the evening of January 24, 1874, at the once famous Chez Maire restaurant. According to this account, the contro- versial drama closed after one performance, but the toothsome dish remained a long-running hit. |
