Landemare entered Churchill’s kitchen in 1930. She soon learned that it would be anything but(一點也不) easy to meet the culinary(烹飪的) demands of the master(主人) of the house. His answer to the question of what he liked was: “My taste is simple. I am easily satisfied with the best.” And her dishes stood up(經得住) to his discerning(眼光敏銳的) palate(味覺). She knew his culinary(烹飪的) preferences as well as his dislikes. Churchill appreciated traditional English dishes like chicken and roast beef. He preferred clear bouillons(牛肉等的清湯) to cream soups, and if he had to choose between fish and shellfish(貝類;甲殼類動物,例如 蝦、蟹), he chose the latter(後者).
蘭德梅爾於 1930 年進入邱吉爾的廚房。她很快就發現,要滿足男主人的烹飪要求絕非易事。他對自己的喜好問題的回答是:「我的口味很簡單。我很容易對最好的感到滿意。」她做的菜也符合邱吉爾挑剔的味蕾。她了解他的烹調喜好,也了解他的厭惡。邱吉爾欣賞傳統的英式菜餚,如雞肉和烤牛肉。他喜歡清澈的肉湯而不是奶油湯,如果必須在魚和貝類之間做出選擇,他會選擇後者。
Churchill preferred to finish his dinner with cheese. However, he was not enthusiastic about Cheddar, the most popular cheese in the English kingdom; rather, the blue cheese Stilton was his favorite. The gourmet(美食家) insisted that cheese that came to his table should not be bought just anywhere, but only at a particular(特定的) fromagerie(起司店). “A gentleman(紳士) only buys his(指邱吉爾) cheese at Paxton & Whitfield(為英國的一家起司專賣店),” he said. The traditional company still exists and has been one of the suppliers(供應商) of the British Royal Family for many years. Desserts such as puddings or tarts, on the other hand, were never high on Churchill’s culinary(烹飪的) agenda(議程).
