Garnet is a gemstone that is used to make jewelry. It's a speciality in the Rosselló area (Northern Catalonia), whose artisans have been working with it for centuries.

The brightness of the deep dark red gemstone of Northern Catalan garnet jewels is achieved by adding a thin red sheet made of silver between the base and the gemstone. This innovation was added in the 19th century, and is still how the Northern Catalan garnet jewelers work.

These jewels are so iconic in Northern Catalonia that since the 19th century it has been considered a symbol of Catalan identity in Northern Catalonia.

Pomegranate (Punica granatum)

The early French word grenate, meaning “seedy,” is the source of the adjective grenat, meaning “red like a pomegranate.” This word was then used as a noun to refer to the deep-red gemstone. When borrowed into English, grenat became garnet.

Frieren: Beyond Journey's End Episode 7 Review - Dealing With Demons

I love the insight to demons in this episode. While Qual was a demon and was introduced back in Episode 3, demon lore is fully explained in this one. I really like how demons are portrayed in this anime compared to other fantasy stories. Usually, demons are portrayed as villainous but still have human traits that make people want to root for them. In this story, demons are beings with sociopathic and psychopathic traits. They’re not necessarily “evil” for the sake of being so, but they’re evil because they lack empathy and sympathy, which makes them seen as inhuman and immoral by creatures that can feel these things—mainly people.

The flashback of Frieren and Himmel encountering the demon child was actually rather terrifying from a broader perspective. The child ate someone’s daughter, yet with the way it wailed for her mother caused people to lower their guard. The village chief took her in because of that and he paid the consequences with his life. The demon child does not understand the concept of family, which was why she was fine with killing the village chief and giving the grieving couple his daughter because she’s “a daughter”, despite her not being theirs. What the village chief did was basically trying to “domesticate” the most feral creature but failing. The village chief’s action can be seen as stupid and asinine, but it also shows that sometimes, human empathy can be either the strongest weapon or it could be our downfall.

The demons introduced in the current timeline, Lugner, Linie and Draht, show that demons remained the same as they did before. Reasoning with them is impossible and because of that, they’re very good villains to deal with. Like how the demon child used the word “mother” to play onto empathy, Lugner uses “father” to do the same, despite not knowing what they word truly means. They’re definitely cunning creatures at best. Frieren despises demons, which was why she was on full-on assault mode the moment she sensed them. I do like how Stark was like “Can’t we reason with them since they can speak?” Because that was the village chief did in the past, but failed to do so. The fact that demons communicate using the human tongue in order to deceive them makes them terrifying. The voice actors for the three demons did an excellent job making their voices so monotonous that they’re devoid of emotions.

The fact that they’re goons to the bigger threat, Aura the Guillotine, makes them the first real threat to the story so far. The story had minor “threats” like Qual and the Solar Dragon and they were defeated pretty quickly. I know for a fact that Draht is just child’s play to Frieren, so he’ll be easily defeated by her, but I do wonder about Linie and Lugner. How strong are they?

Other parts of the episode I liked was seeing Frieren getting rewarded for waking up early and Fern and Stark’s banter. I like that the lighthearted aspect of the episode was in the beginning to make viewers feel good before delving into the heavier and darker aspects in regards to the demons.

I’m anticipating for next week’s episode. How will Frieren, Fern and Stark deal with the demon infestation in the town? What are your thoughts about this episode?

Sałatka z wędzonej makreli, selera naciowego i czerwonej cebuli z granatem lub suszoną żurawiną

Ta sama sałatka, z nieco innym wykończeniem. Efekt całkiem odmienny. Ale czy na pewno?

Baza jest identyczna: wędzona makrela, seler naciowy, czerwona cebula, majonez i musztarda. Podzieliłam ją na pół i do jednej wrzuciłam suszone żurawiny, bo w głowie ich kwaskowatość dobrze komponowała mi się z mało wyrazistą rybą, a do drugiej świeże ziarna granatu, bo według tej samej zasady konweniowały z głównym składnikiem. Obie na koniec posypałam prażonymi orzechami włoskimi.

Obie wersje okazały się bardzo dobre i obie Wam polecam! Żurawinowa była nieco słodsza, głębsza i dawała miłe wrażenie żucia suszonego owocu, natomiast granatowa rześka, soczysta i zabawnie strzelająca pod zębami.

Ciekawe, że różniące się dodatki nawet kolorystycznie były zbieżne - w odcieniu czerwieni (żurawina na żywo ma ciemnorubinową barwę, aczkolwiek zdjęcie nie oddało tego uczciwie), co nadało im nieplanowego waloru estetycznego.

Niby różne, a całkiem podobne...

Składniki:

duża wędzona makrela łodyga selera naciowego 1/2 czerwonej cebuli 2 łyżki suszonych żurawin 2 łyżki nasion granatu 2 łyżki majonezu 2 łyżki oleju rzepakowego łyżeczka musztardy Dijon łyżeczka musztardy francuskiej 4 łyżki orzechów włoskich sól i czarny pieprz do smaku

Wykonanie:

Zdjąć z ryby skórę, wyjąć kręgosłup i ości. Podzielić na kawałki i włożyć po połowie do dwóch miseczek.

Seler naciowy opłukać, odciąć końcówki, przeciąć wzdłuż, a następnie na cienkie plasterki. Włożyć po połowie do miseczek.

Cebulę obrać i pokroić w drobniutką kosteczkę. Włożyć po połowie do miseczek.

Do jednej dodać żurawinę, łyżkę oleju oraz majonezu, łyżeczkę musztardy Dijon, posolić, popieprzyć i wymieszać.

Do drugiej dodać nasiona granatu, łyżkę oleju oraz majonezu, łyżeczkę musztardy francuskiej, posolić, popieprzyć i wymieszać.

Obie obsypać połową wcześniej uprażonych i grubo posiekanych orzechów.

Ciekawa jestem która bardziej Wam zasmakuje?
