英语词汇coot stew的起源、历史背景-英语词源词典

coot stew. A few generations ago people actually enjoyed this dish. Wrote one feisty Yankee world traveler in the late 19th century: “Frederick’s pressed duck at the Tour d’Argent isn’t bad, but it can’t hold a candle to coot stew.” There is a real recipe for coot stew, but the anonymous old Maine recipe for it is more famous: “Place the bird in a kettle of water with a red building brick free of mortar and blemishes. Parboil that coot and brick together for three hours. Pour off the water, fill the kettle, and again parboil three hours. Once more throw off the water, refill the kettle, and this time let the coot and brick sim- mer together overnight. In the morning throw away the coot and eat the brick.”
