Riet salmon. Rillettes de saumon. Once in France. The writer, who is considered the father of the naturalistic novel, not only was reputed to be knowledgeable grocery store, but he was in reality. However, all the charm of Haute cuisine, he was able to understand only when his novels began to bring good money. Until that time, the life of Balzac was, in many respects, scarce: more than 11 years he spent behind dull walls of various apartments and boarding schools. The funds allocated to it by the family, was not allowed to luxuriate neither in clothes nor food. The young man he often bought food and cooking of simple but tasty meals. He was particularly good Riet (rillette) – pate with fibers and pieces of meat (poultry, game, fish), which usually eat, spread on bread.
