Napoleon's Chicken | The French Chef Season 6 | Julia Child

[@thatradfailure5197]

My woman straight up pulled out a sword to carve her chicken and that was the last thing I expected

[@tjmurph7108]

What an unhinged Julia we got in this episode 😂

[@DavidHall-ge6nn]

Dione Lucas, whom Julia referred to as a whiz at fluting mushrooms and "the mother of French cuisine in the United States," was an interesting character and, a precursor of Julia's. Julia certainly eclipsed Mrs. Lucas, but her humility and admiration as she referred to her predecessor is yet another example of her exceptional character and genuine kindness.

To cook on electric rings…live ..is an art form

[@brucejeanduc841]

I watched this 1978 I think.... i finally became aware of cooking...i was 10.

[@moogiealways3016]

She always amused me in how she was a great, clean, trustworthy teaching chef-- but, just raw meat all over everything and zero ill effects- that crew ate so well. People now washing chicken and trying to be all sterile in cooking. She knew what she was doing and didn't cross contaminate. So grand.

[@boblowney]

the close up of her face when she is tasting the sauce after putting the chicken back in was priceless. You could tell by her reaction that it was exactly how she wanted it to taste.

Julia Child's middle name is Carolyn... It's such a very attractive name... She is QUITE the CHEF...!!!!

[@johnayalachef]

The theatricality of it all, civility on the battlefield coupled chicken 🐓 eggs 🥚 and 🍄‍🟫 mushrooms. Bravo 👏

[@jimbo477]

I love that she makes what now would be considered a complicated recipe. I am addicted to TV cooking shows but they are so dumbed down now that a toddler could make them. I don't need someone to show me how to mix cooked shrimp and radishes in a bowl.

Interesting dish! And the fabric on the dining chairs is beautiful!

Napolean is dying of hunger chef!! With all the elaboration and the actual cooking taking time... He is going nuts! 😅

WOW!!!!!! does that look G O O D !!!

5:57 ... *Julia burns Napoleon at the stake* 🔥🔥🔥

[@JamesDumas-b1x]

Interesting to watch and I realize that there is a time crunch on TV but this episode felt slightly hectic and stressful.

[@jessrow1275]

It’s hard to imagine anyone making this dish today. Or ever.

[@jeffyoung60]

Asians watching this would have their mouths watering. Yet they would want to eat this Chicken Marengo with a bowl of broiled, white rice.

[@chak595301]

⚠️⚠️ During the end credits of this episode, there was a WGBH promo inserted over the VO; I don’t know why they left it there.

When the French wholly owned saleable parts of the America's Continent, and chicken n eggs in cognac were de riguer for dinner.

So ramsay didnt invent the wellington? Or is he that fkn old lol

[@bostonbesteats364]

Is this the famous episode where she cut off her ring finger with a saber and they sewed it back on during a commercial break?

[@MIKECNW]

What reality do you live in? This is PBS!

[@bostonbesteats364]

@@MIKECNW Humor...try it, you'll like it

[@davidvilmin3457]

If that could happen to any TV chef, Julia would be the only one who'd be able to remain calm, use it as teachable moment, and sew the finger back on quickly and still have the dish ready by the end of the episode!

[@Ea-Nasir_Copper_Co]

@@bostonbesteats364You weren't particularly funny. Now if you'd said she was exiled to Elba afterwards...

[@bostonbesteats364]

[@joshuaharper372]

So it would be more authentic to use crayfish (écrevisse) than shrimp? Pretty, but messy to eat at the table...

[@jakematic]

Hardly

“Well away”🔥🔥🔥

[@xe3uq]

The comments about Julia being drunk are just mean and based on no knowledge whatsoever. She had a lively sparkling intelligence-something that jealous critic obviously doesn’t possess.

[@Rotary_Phone]

Chickens looked smaller back then. They probably tasted better though. The Chicken this day and age is full of growth hormones, and God knows what else.

[@snmnmidld6203]

Excuse my french but what the fuck

[@garyfurr1467]

Welcome to the drunken chef. Watch me screw this up because of my being drunk
