美味しいパンと楽しい朝ご飯
Recently, I learned a new Japanese word. It’s “Rebe-chi レベチ”– it means “different level”, in other words, it’s an abbreviated term to describe something so amazing, or so outstanding, that you might think it’s at the next level. Japanese people love to shorten the words, so “Reberu(level) Chigau (different)” became “Rebe-chi.” Other creative versions include, “Dan-chi” for something one step above, or “Jige-chi” for being in a different league. They are all meant to complement something or someone, but, I don’t really feel comfortable using them… only because I am from the older generation, I guess.
最近、新しい日本語を学びました。「レベチ」です。これは、「レベルが違う」という意味だそうです。つまり、レベルが違うほどすごい、秀でている、という省略用語だそうで、他にも「ダンチ（段違い）」や「ジゲチ（次元が違う）」という応用型もあるそうです。みんな良い意味での表現ですが、なんだかしっくりこない私はおばさん世代だからですね。
Anyway, I previously wrote about <the world’s largest strawberry shortcake🍰> made by a “Rebe-chi” pastissier from Morocco🇲🇦. But, today, I would like to introduce an incredibly “Rebe-chi” boulangerie (bakery/baked goods shop) near our apartment!
以前、モロッコ出身の”レベチ”なパティシエさんによる＜世界最大のいちごのショートケーキ🍓＞についてブログしましたが、我が家の近くにもめちゃくちゃ”レベチ”なパン屋さん／お菓子屋さんがありまして、、、
Amoud! It sure has a kind of lavish ambience, so I had been a little intimidated, to be honest, for a while. It took us a few months to actually go in and try their goodies…
アムードさん～。もう見たからにして美味しそうなブランジェリー。実は、ちょっと敷居高くてずっとトライするのを控えていた小心者だったんですが、じゃじゃーん！
Tada! Oh my, the brioche, croissants, and the loaf of hard bread… everything was delicious and top-notch! Clearly, I now have a problem – Amoud is located too close to our apartment.
あらまぁ、ブリオッシュもクロワッサンも旦那さん好みの硬めのパンも、全て最高のお味～。困った困った、また美味しい物に出会ってしまった。
The qualities of Moroccan breads, any baked goods, or cakes and tarts, are all really high. Rebe-chi, Dan-chi, & Jige-chi 🤩! Perhaps it’s because the foundation of traditional Moroccan breadmaking, which is already outstanding, has been fused with some new knowledge and techniques by the French during their ruling period…?
モロッコのパンや焼き菓子、ケーキのレベルは本当に高い！レベチ、ダンチ、ジゲチ、とにかく美味しいのです。もともと秀でたモロッコの伝統的なパン作りの基盤と、フランスの支配下だった影響でつちかったノーハウが融合されたからでしょうかねぇ。
When it comes to bread, my husband and I seem to have different preferences. He likes more crispy loaves with some seeds in it. Something which goes with cheese. Very “white people” bread. Kind of bread that reminds me of the iceberg in fjord, and is strong enough to hit someone. I tend to choose brioche-like bread with a sweet taste and moist texture, that I can probably continue to eat even after I get dentures🦷 (I hope that doesn’t happen – Inshallah. 🙏).
西洋系のパンに関しては、旦那さんと私で好みが違いまして、、、旦那さんはやはり北欧系のちょっとパリッとした感じのローフ系がお好きのようです。フィヨルドの氷河を思い起こさせるような強さがある誰かを叩けるくらいのパン。私はどちらかというと、ブリオッシュのような、甘ったるい湿った感もある、総入れ歯になっても食べ続けられるようなパンを選びがち。
We were laughing at these “bread personalities” one morning, then I suddenly found myself playing with “Go, Dog. Go!”🐶 story (which we used to read with our children when they were young).
ふと、このパーソナリティーの違うパンちゃんたちで、昔子供たちと一緒に読んだ『Go. Dog. Go!（日本語題名：”それいけ、わんちゃん！”』🐩ごっこをしてしまった朝。
It was just a silly morning – but I love silly mornings. 老夫婦のたわむれです。Hamdulillah. 🙏
