Side story 40. Imperial wind instrument. (5)
While the gochu and gochujang were openly dyeing the tables of the imperial people red, the citomatl was quietly expanding its place.
And, of course, there was a scent in this background.
“When it comes to tomatoes, it has to be hamburgers! As they say, opportunity is chance!”
When the name ‘Sitomuljang’, shortened to ‘Sitomuljang’, was created, Hyang did not miss the opportunity.
“Call Alberto the Suksu!”
“Yes, Your Majesty!”
The scent that called Alberto immediately ordered him to cook a hamburger.
“Hmm… So, you put a mixture of ground beef and pork, thinly sliced pickled cucumbers (Sottaceto di cetriolo), lettuce on top of paneer, then sprinkle some cetriolo sauce on it and cover it with paneer again? I guess you could consider it a variation of panini… .”
This type of cooking method was not unfamiliar to Alberto.
In areas where bread is a staple food, it was common to eat bread with various ingredients between it.
As Alberto already mentioned, there was also an Italian recipe called panini.
However, what Alberto was worried about was the addition of the city’s sewage treatment plant there.
“If you think about the taste of the city’s rice cake soup, it might not be so bad….”
Alberto, who cooked the food according to the recipe suggested by the fragrance, shook his head slightly after tasting it.
“It’s okay, but isn’t it a little lacking? Hmm… .”
Alberto thought about it for a moment and then tried adding some sliced onions.
“Much better!”
Satisfied, Alberto presented the finished product to Hyang.
“It’s delicious. Hmm… But it feels like it’s a little lacking. How about adding some thinly sliced tomato, no, tomato matl?”
Alberto, who had been thinking about Hyang’s suggestion for a moment, nodded immediately.
“I think it will be okay.”
The result satisfied both Alberto and the perfumer, and the recipe was passed on to the palace kitchen and to Il Venezia.
As time passed, the ‘Imperial Panini’ began to spread widely among the common people of the empire.
It started with the imperial officials, especially those in Seoul.
When these ‘Imperial Panini’ were introduced as a ‘gift’ from the Emperor for the officials suffering from overtime work, the officials who got to know their taste began buying them as soon as they were added to the Il Venizia menu.
“Is this something that the people working in the palace and government offices enjoy eating?”
“It looks delicious.”
Ordinary imperial citizens who heard the rumor soon began to enjoy ‘Imperial Panini’.
Soon, not only the ‘Imperial Panini’ but also the ‘Imperial Pizza’ began to spread.
As this ‘imperial Italian cuisine’ began to spread rapidly, the royal family moved quickly.
After signing a contract with Alberto, they started mass producing and selling ‘Sitojuk’ and ‘Sito Muljang’.
As Shitojuk and Shitomuljang became popular, stores selling ‘Imperial Panini’ and ‘Imperial Pizza’ began to open in large numbers.
However, the ‘Imperial Panini’ sold at restaurants other than ‘Il Venezia’ looked different.
Pane—Italian bread—was a foreign dish to the imperial chefs.
Therefore, competitors of ‘Il Venezia’ chose materials with which they were familiar.
In the Bonji and Bukji regions, ‘Jeonbyeong’ was used to replace pane, and in the Shinji region, it was used as a substitute for tortilla.

The recipe also changed. Instead of sandwiching the ingredients between two well-cooked paneer sheets, the ingredients were chopped and rolled up on top of a large, toasted pancake.
It was an application of a recipe familiar to the people of the Empire, either in the original or new land.
Hyang, who heard this, made an expression of amusement.
“Is it Mexican this time? If so….”
After a while, Wan called Alberto.
“The situation has given you an order.”
“What is it?”
“He told me to make a sauce using mustard.”
“Did you say Jang?”
Seeing Alberto’s embarrassed expression, Wan added.
“I see in the letter that you said that if you say ‘Salsa’ you will know.”
“Ah! I understand what you commanded!”
“Is that so? Then thank you for your hard work.”
“I will do my best!”
This is how ‘mustard sauce’ was born.
However, not everything was positive.
As the gochujang became firmly established, the imperial people sought increasingly stimulating flavors.
In return, the number of imperial subjects suffering from digestive diseases also increased.
As these actions and reactions continued, medicine related to internal diseases, especially digestive diseases, began to develop rapidly.
The same was true of the new ‘imperial Italian cuisine’ that emerged with the introduction of the citomatl.
In particular, the ‘Imperial Pizza’ was a problem.
As Imperial Pizza became more familiar, the Imperials began adding all sorts of ingredients to their pizza.
And, Italian chefs, especially Fabio from Rome, who encountered the ‘imperial pizzas’ reborn in this way, were grabbed by the back of their necks.
“This isn’t pizza! It’s okay up until the citomatl! Why are you putting garlic on it!”
To Fabio’s outrage, Alberto responded with an indifferent expression.
“We also sometimes put in garlic.”
“It’s the quantity that’s the problem! No, the imperial people eat garlic like it’s rice! Garlic is used as a seasoning, not to fill the stomach!”
“I admit that… .”
The imperial people’s special love of garlic was widely acknowledged.
-If you get lost in the desert, always follow the smell of garlic. If you smell garlic, that means there are imperialists there.
This proverb was circulated throughout Europe and the Middle East.
Whenever they heard such words, the imperial people’s reaction was the same.
“But how do you make it taste like you’re eating a dish that has garlic in it?”
“Should I tell you again the story of the bear woman who married Hwanung?”
“Hey! You’re from Shinji! And you’re not an indigenous person, you’re from an immigrant family that immigrated from Europe!”
“The taste is native.”
In fact, the inhabitants of the Imperial New Territories, especially the natives of the Central and Southern New Territories, loved garlic as much as the natives themselves.
The descendants of those who immigrated from Europe to the empire also had a fondness for garlic.
