En tant que viande maigre, la viande de cheval se consomme plutôt saignante, afin de préserver ses qualités gustatives, et doit être saisie rapidement dans une poêle très chaude, de manière à lui éviter de s'assécher. Elle se cuisine comme le bœuf. 2, record 1, French, - viande%20de%20cheval

During the late middle ages as grapes ripened in the vineyards of Burgundy a quick harvest was needed and the noontime meal was often skipped. Johann du Putzxe was a monk who made a kind of fast food by dunking pieces of meat into hot oil. The Swiss later adapted this as a variety of fondue. The pot is filled with oil(or butter) and brought to simmer. Each person spears small cubes of beef or horse meat with a long, narrow fondue fork and fries them in the pot. An assortment of sauces and sometimes a further cheese fondue are provided for dipping. 5, record 2, English, - bourguignonne%20fondue

Ce plat repose sur le principe de la fondue avec de la viande. Il est d'origine suisse. Ce nom fait référence d'une part à la fondue au fromage et d'autre part à l'origine de la viande charolaise, la Bourgogne, en France. La viande est coupée en morceaux de la taille d'une bouchée. L'huile est chauffée dans un poêlon placée entre les convives. Chacun des convives plonge un à un ses morceaux de viande crue dans l'huile et les mange une fois cuits. La viande est accompagnée de différentes sauces, telles que la sauce moutarde, la mayonnaise ou la béarnaise. 1, record 2, French, - fondue%20bourguignonne

Blue discoloration in crab meat. The problem of the blue discoloration in canned crab meat has caused trouble until recent times. The blue meat often appears not only on the surface of crab meat in the cans, but also, though rarely, on crab meat several hours after boiling and cooling of the carcasses. The blue meat appears more often on the surface of joint of shoulder meat, claw meat and other leg joints. It appears in canned horse hair crab meat(“kegani”) more often than in king crab. The appearance of the blue meat is undoubtedly due to the cooper contained in haemocyanin which is a component of the blood of molluscs or arthropods. 1, record 3, English, - blue%20meat

Le bleuissement de la chair de crabe en conserve a été un problème jusque récemment. Il apparaît souvent non seulement à la surface de la chair de crabe en conserve, mais aussi, sur la chair de crabe plusieurs heures après cuisson et refroidissement des carcasses. La chair bleuit plus souvent à la surface de l'articulation de la chair de l'épaule, de la pince et d'autres articulations des pattes. Le bleuissement est plus fréquent sur la chair de «crab horsehair» («kegani») que sur celle du crabe royal. Il est dû sans aucun doute au cuivre contenu dans l'hémocyanine, qui est un composant du sang des mollusques ou des arthropodes. 1, record 3, French, - chair%20bleue

Bashkir : poney russe élevé par les Bashkirs, anciens nomades qui se sont fixés dans le sud de l'Oural. Le Bachkortostan est une république membre de la Fédération de Russie, capitale Oufa. Origines très anciennes, qui remonterait au Cheval Sauvage de Mongolie comme les autres poneys russes ; il aurait eu l'influence de chevaux de selles (Don et Budienny), de trotteurs Orlov et de chevaux lourds (Ardennais). Petit cheval (135-150), un peu plus grand que l'altai, mais très robuste, docile, polyvalent et réputé pour son endurance. On distinguerait 2 types : le Bashkir des steppes, petit et léger utilisé sous la selle, et le Bashkir des montagnes, plus lourd, pour le trait. Les juments sont traditionnellement utilisées pour la production de lait. Une particularité : une toison frisée, semblable à l'astrakan, en hiver. 2, record 6, French, - bashkir
