JOSEP PLA. EL QUE HEM MENJAT
|
| |
|
|

“The rice, speaking in general, is a plate that is in use with a favourable disposition, naturally, but not with an unconscious enthusiasm. One sets on one to see to come, and, as one is eating it - if it‘s good-, not only the hunger grows, but the taste is catching on and consolidating. If it comes near to this situation, when the rice finishes, there is produced an elegiac very direct and puerile feeling that consists of stating a pity of the end.
This judgment is exactly the one that has to deserve the rice when it’s good and good cooked. It is the etiquette of his quality. The rice separates, when it is dosed well, it can provoke this judgment. It is elementary, simple, popular and graceful rice”.
Josep Pla. El que hem menjat.
Barcelona: Ed. Destino, OC XXII, 1972, p. 103
