The following facts came from The Fact Site.
14th December – Bouillabaisse Day.
Bouillabaisse is a traditional fish stew that originated in the port city of Marseille.
Unlike most stews, which are served in a bowl with a spoon and maybe some bread to mop up the sauce if you’re posh, bouillabaisse is served in two parts:
The broth first with cayenne pepper on toast and mayonnaise made from saffron (which is worth more than its weight in gold) eggs and garlic. Then the fish (no less than 3 different types) and the vegetables are served afterward.
Bouillabaisse was first invented by a Marseille fisherman, who wanted, understandably, to eat after they got home from catching fish, but instead of using the fish they could sell, they threw all of the fish too bony to sell to restaurants into a pot.
As the city of Marseille became more and more prosperous, other ingredients were added (like the saffron).
Try this delicacy today, if only for the feeling of smugness I can only assume rich people get when eating food that costs more than my rent.
