Food Watch chooses ‘Golden Puff 2010′
Share Year after year the organization honors the Food Watch ‘Golden puffs of the Year’ – the negative distinction, which is somewhat reminiscent of the ‘Razzie’ for the film, the food gets the most misleading and wrong most product application. Wherever customers are so disappointed and quite deliberately misinformed, Food Watch is watchful eye afterwards. And in 2010 there was again quite a few candidates that it had now made the shortlist for the ‘Golden Wind’ bag. The last verdict, however, the consumer, it can until 22 April on the side of Food Watch on the final ‘winner’ vote. The jury for the preliminary selection by the way was occupied fairly prominent place next to the TV presenters Tobi Schlegl and Astrid Frohloff there also the scene Commissioner Andreas Hoppe and Kabarretist Erwin Pelzig. Loving it so the jury brought in five nominations: There were the soft drink called ‘observation’, which identifies itself as organic drink, but has no other natural ingredients except sugar and barley malt. Moreover, there are in ‘observation’ but many flavors. ‘Bertolo Grilled vegetables’ on the other hand, advertises its pasta sauce with an ‘improved recipe’ sounds good, but in reality are just a taste enhancers and flavors were added to – a clear misnomer, as Foodwatch noted. It continues with the iced tea drink ‘lemon yellow Physalis’ by Pfanner. On the one containing the entire 2-liter package not a hint of gooseberry, on the other, this will be the equivalent of 47 pieces of cube sugar compensated apparently – so no sign of wellness. Or how about the ‘duet mushroom soup’, even for the celebrity chef Alfons Beck advertises? And here, once all the products in the overview Three times as expensive as any easy instant soup, the recipe, but was no better. Ridiculous and would be the fact that the soup would come in two doses. A contains at the dry powder, the other the water to boil the soup. A joke! And finally there is the ‘Monte Drink’ by Zott – manufacturer’s advertised as ‘popular snack with valuable grape sugar’, contains the little bottle eight cubes of sugar. Valuable or healthy is ‘neither glucose nor the whole flavored milk sugar-cream mixture,’ says Food Watch.

Saffron (Crocus Sativus) is the most expensive spice in the world, mainly due to its harvesting process. Saffron comes from a crocus flower. The female pistil has 3 components: the stigma, style and ovary. The pistil has one style that branches into 3 distinct stigmas. These 3 stigmas are the saffron threads. Each crocus flower produces only 3 threads and it takes over 200,000 stigmas to make 1 lb of threads! The crocus flowers stand about 1 ft high and must be harvested by hand. The threads of a crocus are deep red and bright orange in color and are about 1 inch long. The threads have a taste of bitter almonds. Saffron is used to flavor dishes and as a yellow dye. Most of the saffron sold in the U.S. comes from Spain. Other areas that produce saffron include Portugal, Italy, France, Turkey and India.

Eating and Drinking in the land of spices
A family in Tehran during a meal with the family. – Let us for once on the positive aspects of Iran: sauces, fragrances, herbs, colors! In praise of Persian cuisine
Basmati rice is one of them, including saffron, pomegranate juice, mint, fish or lamb, and desserts for the rose water. But when the documentary “Iranian Cookbook” sees, presented the filmmaker Mohammad Shirvani just the “culinary theater” of the Berlinale, it seems that the most important ingredient in Persian cooking, period. Shirvani has watched Iranian women cooking, including his aunt, his sister and his mother. They all wear a headscarf, but their kitchens look very American, so large and modern they are. Some women need half the day before the dinner is prepared – and this is not only because they have to feed a large family.
The courts are quite expensive: the countless herbs that play in the Persian kitchen a major role – such as dill, chives, parsley, tarragon, fenugreek -, processed fresh, rice is not cooked simply, but flavored with spices or fruit and then decorated with berries. And if Shirvanis law must knead meatballs, it makes the course not with a machine: “It tastes better if you use your hands. I have not washed for two years. What do you think of how many vitamins they have, “she says and laughs firm.
When they finished everything, is a veritable feast on the table, the viewers, the water can run together in the mouth. In the middle stands a tower on stuffed grape leaves, whose preparation has already lasted only hours. Shirvanis father, a thin man who looks in addition to his strong wife even thinner, sits silent and does not look very happy. He loves to eat fast food. “When I make pizza, they like!” Complains his wife.
The Persian cuisine is even more than that of other countries, a domain of women – and one of the most traditional and most sophisticated cuisines in the world. For centuries it has given the decisive impetus for the food everywhere in the Orient, like Italy for the kitchens in the rest of Europe.
Mohammad Shirvani wanted those who will receive the long tradition of Persian cuisine alive and appreciated for it is not always appropriate to put a small memorial – women “who have spent their entire life in the kitchen,” he says. On the morning after the Berlin premiere of the film-maker sits on a black sofa in the lobby of his Berlin hotel. The 36-year-old is a man of unwavering energy and good humor. His beard is in some places already turned gray, his voice hoarse. He had always eaten with pleasure, he says. But for cooking, he had little interest in earlier acts, as it is with him as with the other men in “Iranian cooking. “. The film is indeed more of a social analysis, to me it was especially so as the women stick together with their food the families,” It seems the common meal in “Iranian Cooking” not very solemnly, not even to the breaking of the fast during Ramadan: Larger families gather around a rectangular cloth on the floor, small round a table and eat it, obviously with pleasure, but also quite fast, which took a few hours of preparation.
As a starter, there is often a soup that can be very sweet desserts. “The main course is playing Rice in Persian Polo, the central role,” said Shirvani. “There are then one of many different sauces.” This is what Iranian housewives cook every day. For the grilled lamb or chicken kebabs (“Kabab”), it is however more to the restaurant.
The favorite dish of the filmmaker, which he now also enjoys cooking itself is, ghorme Sabsi and is regarded as Iran’s national dish – if such a thing exists at all. Because Iran is a large, diverse country, inhabited by Kurds and Azeris as well. In the south you eat sharper, spicy, in the north with its luxuriant vegetation, more herbs and garlic used. Ghorme Sabsi, a sauce (some even say a stew) with chives, parsley, onions, red beans, coriander, lamb meat and a hint of lime, is popular especially in Tehran.
“Oh, all the Persian sauces! Eggplant sauce, spinach and plum sauce, tomato sauce, potato, apple sauce, vegetables … On the subject you could talk for hours, “said Farzaneh Derakhshan, who runs with her husband for 13 years, a Persian restaurant in the Goltzstraße in Schöneberg. It’s called “Shayan” said her son, who was at the same time as the pub on the world. The name stands at the window panes in Persian-Arabic characters, which is why some believe the first visit, she had ended up in an Arab restaurant. And even the know, the decision usually have no idea what they ever expected. In fact, rather resembles the Persian cuisine of India, except that they are much milder.
Farzaneh Derakhshan is in the kitchen of the “Shayan”, the smell of lamb meat roasting on the grill. Back then it was their idea to open the restaurant, even as a little girl she watched her mother at home cooking and tried, and later she trained in a Tehran restaurant. The passion for the food of their homeland is noticeable in the 37-year-olds. While they are yellow saffron rice and ordinary white rice on a plate is to be barberry darüberzustreuen (acidic, red berries, which previously were scorched with butter, saffron and sugar), she is enthusiastic: “White, yellow, red – and then we also add green pistachios. This food is still as jewelry, right? “To Derakhshan favorite dishes is fessenjan. “Jan,” she says, means pleasure. The sauce is made from pomegranate paste and walnuts, plus there is chicken.
These are the herbs and spices that give the Persian cuisine its intense aroma, saffron above all – the best comes from Persia has always been and is “as expensive as gold,” said Farzaneh Derakhshan. “We have 43 dishes on our menu, and each has his own taste, because the ingredients are combined in different ways.”
Derakhshan unlimited enthusiasm for cooking Persian food, however, may not share all the young Iranian women. “Today, a majority of the women studied,” says filmmaker Shirvani. “Many of them have neither the time nor the inclination to stand at the stove all day.” And that the men shortly to take over the role of the family cooks, one may doubt after Shirvanis film. In “Iranian Cooking” you can see the wife of the filmmaker, as reluctant for her husband and his friends cooked – ready meals. After the shooting she divorced him. Also Shirvanis sister separated from her husband, he had treated her like a servant. “Love can accomplish wonders in the kitchen,” said Shirvani. “But if it goes out, the food does not taste too.”
There are recipes in the book “pistachio and rose perfume” by Linda Wolf Gruber (Mandelbaum Verlag). The delicatessen “Goldhahn and Sampson” in Prenzlauer Berg offers regular Persian cooking classes.
