Last week, my hubby and I were watching a few episodes of the 1963 public television series "The French Chef," hosted by the amazing Julia Child. We were on episode 4? 5? 6? and she was doing the 28 minute show on scallops.
Coquille Sant Jacques, to be precise.
As she was introducing the recipe, she went into the explanation of why this dish was named "Coquille Sant Jacques."
Lo and behold, she goes into the full story, talking the Camino de Santiago de Campostelle, explaining who St. James was, the significance of the shell, etc. An incredible rundown, in about 1 minute, of the Camino.
I was stunned. Since when did she know all this stuff about the Camino (yes, I know, I know, people were walking it in 1963, I'm just sayin')?
Hats off, Julia, a pilgrim AND a pioneer.
PS - I'll have to keep watching more episodes. Maybe she has snuck in an episode on how to make Spanish tortilla, which I have yet to come close to mastering.
