    This is not stupid, this is a three star restaurant, in France, cooking a classic French dish, probably to perfection. Do you actually think the chicken is unseasoned?

    Also, it’s not a condom, it’s a pig bladder.

    Bresse chicken in a pig bladder, or “Poularde de Bresse en vessie” , is a classic, luxurious French dish . It’s a dish rooted in French gastronomic history, and it’s far from stupid.

    This isn’t stupid. It’s a traditional cooking method for chicken. You steam it inside a pig’s bladder

    Poulet de Bresse en vessie

    Never had it, but those who have say it’s absolutely delicious. It does look a bit weird though

  5. the-smashed-banjo

    Isn’t this a classic french michelin-winning dish that is notoriously hard to make? -A quick search told me that it’s called ‘poulet en vessie’

    This isn’t stupid you basement dweller, it’s one of the classic French dishes.

    Just because you don’t know what it is or why it’s cooked the way it is does not mean it’s stupid.

  8. We back again with another episode of “foreign food stupid”. Also i feel like some ppl need to see an actual condom, cause if that is what you think it looks like you may be using something else.

    This thread has offended so many people. 🍿

    It looks bland, defenders saying it‘s a classic but why? Looked it up, and preparing it in a bladder is similar to sous vide cooking so the meat is super juicy. As for taste, the bird is stuffed with foie gras and truffels and along with the meat juice thats supposed to result in a delicious, flavourful sauce. And it‘s not just a classic in some medieval history sense when people lacked spices, apparently one of the most renowned chefs in the world made it his specialty and it‘s not bland or rubbery at all

    This is classic cooking – it’s the origins of ‘en papillote’ cooking in paper. This is cooking in a bladder to slowly steam the chicken to keep the moisture inside. It’s not stupid if you’re cultured 😂

    If it’s in a 3 star Michelin restaurant, it’s probably not stupid, you just don’t understand what it is

  13. coramaghtera

    okay i have a question: is this how poulet de bresse en vessie is commonly served? cutting open the pig’s bladder on the table? genuine question.

  14. Marchidian

    I think I would, yeah. This thread has been really useful in showing the intersection between stupid food members and the completely incurious.

  15. salmonscented

    It looks so smooth! A baby soft chicken. I’d love to try it

    I have a relative who worked in a restaurant that served this. Apparently it was difficult to cook because if the bladder (yes animal bladder) touched the side of the pot it would burn and break. Bladder asside, I find the presentation of the feet rather off putting. I am sure it tasted good though.

  17. ash_tar

    En vessie is the precursor of sous vide cooking. It keeps the moisture and flavor and cooks very gently.

  18. Matherold

    Reminds me of Beggar’s Chicken, which is wrapped in clay (multiple layers) and covered in hot coals

    The chicken is supposed to be cooked in it’s own juices plus whatever ingredients the chef puts in the stomach/intestine

  19. Og_busty

    You could tell by some of these posts that people have no knowledge of food outside of shake n bake chicken and canned green beans.

  20. bk_rokkit

    I don’t care about the food, I just want that amazing chicken foot stand

    It’s like if Baba Yaga needed a cake plate

    “oh no different thing stupid! Different Thing Stupid! DIFFERENT THING STUPID!!!”

  22. Ninjaguz

    Leave it up to reddit basement dwellers to criticize a 3 Michelin star restaurant lmao.

  23. Cortolaw1984

    People should learn how sausages are made…

  24. asmodai_says_REPENT

    How many time am I going tobsee an other ignorant post this on this sub?

  25. tripleblue85

    I remember seeing this in an episode of Parts Unknown. I think it’s served with a truffle sauce? Kind of weird to show off getting it out of the bladder table side, but I bet it’s friggin delicious.

  26. Jinpil1

    yeah you Americans would not understand, there is also a similar dish in Korea

  27. RaulTheCruel

    It’s the best chicken you can have honestly. So not stupide at all… doesn’t really qualify for this sub.

  28. PervertKitsune

    Goddamn, that chicken skin was much cleaner than someone I used to know

    This is french traditional food just astonishing to see and made me curious how they do that with pig bladder 

  29. c0micsansfrancisco

    This sub is genuinely uncultured af

  30. HeSureIsScrappy

    This is a Le Bresse chicken. Many people have no idea how special it is. It’s the only chicken breed in the world that is capable of growing intramuscular fat, like beef.

    It’s a treasure.

    I actually visited this restaurant years ago when I was in France. This is restaurant Paul Bocuse in Lyon, and it’s still been one of my favourite experiences.

    This is an old school Haute cuisine style that was extremely popular in the late 19th and early 20th century, and it’s emphasis is opulence. So yeah, this looks kind of alien today, but would have been the pinnacle 100 years ago. I can assure you that this would be extremely tasty.
