Regarding the Auvergne, I certify that they are no more greedy than anyone else . Without doubt they are efficient and they look closely at the expense, but there is point of stinginess in all this. Put simply, the land of Auvergne is not one of the easiest to grow. Rocky and steep, all that the farmer derives demand work and sweat. We know the value of things here, we know that the crust is hard to win and that the mess is a luxury that can not afford.
I remember myself suspended in a combine with a few men from the village to prevent it from overturning in the slope of a plot difficult. I also remember a field in the middle of which stood a plate of rock it took dynamite to try to gain some grassland acreage ... Nothing to cry, but we can not judge people without knowing the context!
course, if a Parisian bobo demands "truffles" in the Cantal, it may be disappointed at the flat basic potato that he will. It is far from the "truffle" referred phonetically. Just know that in the Occitan "Trufa" is the tuber Discount Parmentier ... I happened to have a comparative discussion on black pudding Auvergne and that found for example in the pediment. That of my village contains only blood and onions, one that sewed the back-grandparents of my children contains pieces of meat. It's just that my home every part of the pig had a specific destination and was expected to hold as long as possible in the year prior to slaughter the Next beast ...
I thought about all this yesterday after opening the refrigerator of a friend. There was in it a quantity of damaged or expired food. I do not understand that we can and let them spoil the food. Cook, I learned the art of preparing the remains and make dishes as delicious as presentable. Is this a sign of stinginess on my part? Instead, we should see in the behavior of my friend a sign of great extravagance? The money he has it so easy to win as he makes little of the food it Buying?
Basically, this thinking goes further than it seems. It is not only the result of a one-time annoyance but a more political thought. We are all victims of the system of consumption in which we operate from a very young age. We do more repair, we recycle more, we buy and chips with a vengeance. "We" in the broad sense, but with some limits, however: there are those who can not afford for this mess because they did not afford the essential and vital .
Although course, divest itself will not give them more resources. Of course not finishing our soup or eat it all the way does not affect the rice ration of the "little Chinese" which our parents we are knocking the ears on the evenings when we boudions table. I know all that, but I say it's a matter of respect. Not only respect for others. Since we live in selfishness, we should understand that it is about respect for ourselves.
I took in fridge that was still edible and I shared with my dog. The rest, I threw it because there was nothing else to do. There was the value of three meals ... It made me sick at heart as much to throw it if I had eaten.
