Myths About Gourmet Food

Article Category: Food and Drinks

Author Name: chickie maxwell

Gourmet food is something that is savored not merely eaten. It is something that is made by highly skilled chefs using the finest ingredients and prepared with the utmost care. In the end, the product is not only pleasing to the palate but also the eyes and one's sense of smell. This type of food or its preparation is often covered in mystery and elegance thus it is sometimes hard to distinguish fact from fiction when talking about gourmet food. This article will endeavor to provide a bit of information regarding popular myths about foodstuff considered gourmet.

Gourmet Myth 1: Fresh Pasta is Better

Pasta snobs who do not really know what they are talking about will tell the average Joe that handmade fresh pasta is definitely better than dried pasta. Well this is a myth, the taste of the pasta depends upon the ingredients used and the firmness of the pasta depends upon how well and how long it was cooked.

Gourmet Myth 2: You Need to Oil

Here is another pasta myth, you will hear relatives say and read from so called experts that you need to put some oil in the water where you boil your pasta in. This is a myth since most dried pasta already contains enough oil to stop them from sticking to each other. All you really need is more boiling water so your pasta gets cooked better.

Gourmet Myth 3: A Pinch of Salt in Pasta

Let us face it, gourmet food for the average Joe is pasta so it is only natural we have to debunk another pasta myth. You do not need just a pinch of salt on your boiling water, you need a lot. Most experts agree you would need to make the water salty like sea water and that involves a bit more than just a pinch. Say half a teaspoon to 2 teaspoons depending on the amount of boiling water.

Gourmet Myth 3: Gourmet Food is Expensive food

Okay, there is a shred of truth to this myth. Especially since to be gourmet the ingredients need to be top notch and the preparation needs to be done perfectly and in most cases involves plenty of ingredients. But there are cheap gourmet recipes that can be done by the average Joe. Just select local produce and read basic cook books or go online. Most people do not realize that gourmet is not necessarily food for the rich but rather it is well prepared food.

Gourmet is French Cuisine

Gourmet comes from a French word and there are a lot of French gourmet food however it is not only French food that can be called gourmet. By definition any food stuff that involves high quality ingredients, top notch preparation, cooking and plating can be considered gourmet.

Gourmet Means Foodstuff

This is absolutely not true. Anything can be considered gourmet. Beverages, coffee, meats, liquor, etc can be considered gourmet. Again, to stress a point, gourmet means the meeting of high quality products with the highest quality of preparation.
