Zakulisje srečanja Macrona in Šija: Geopolitika ene borovničeve pite
Za las so se izognili diplomatskemu incidentu, ko so drugi dan obiska kitajske delegacije na večerji, ki jo je za predsednika Ši Džinpinga gostil njegov francoski kolega Emmanuel Marcon, z jedilnika črtali znamenito »rusko pito«, poroča Figaro.

Večerja je potekala v ambientu restavracije, ki je hkrati »intimen« in »prijeten«, pripada pa prijatelju francoskega predsednika. »Idealno okolje za razpravo o bolečih temah, vključno z vojno v Ukrajini,« dodaja ta časopis.
Jedi je izbiral gostitelj sam. Po predjedih in tradicionalni pirenejski juhi, jagnječji pleči s šunko, prilogah iz fižola in jurčkov ter sirih je bila na vrsti »ruska pita«, glavna sestavina zanjo pa so mandlji. Mimogrede, recept za to pito prihaja s Krima.

Že sam videz torte, ki je prekrita s sladkorjem v prahu, spominja na zasnežene ravnice Rusije.

Kot na svoji spletni strani navaja slaščičarna Artigared, ki hrani recept za to kulinarično skrivnost že od leta 1920, je bil predsednik François Mitterrand prvi, ki je to sladico uvedel v Elizejski palači.
Njegova naslednika Jacques Chirac in Nicolas Sarkozy sta med uradnimi obiski tuje državnike sladkala z znamenito rusko pito.

Toda tokrat zaradi vojne v Ukrajini ruske pite niso postregli.

Namesto ruske pite je bila postrežena lokalna specialiteta iz borovnic iz Pirenejev, saj je bila v središču pogovora med državnikoma občutljiva ukrajinska tema.
