Hunger won't be beautiful. I cannot judge on this, but there are countless examples everywhere. For example, the memorable song “The Onion Song” by the Spanish poet Miguel Hernández, a crib song for a little boy who takes milk from his mother, who only eats bread and onion, Allium cepa, while in jail.

The Second World War led the Netherlands to a severe wave of hunger. First the wood of the Germans and then the wood of the allies to knock it down. All the bombs on their heads. The train workers tried to make it difficult for the Germans to transport and, in return, they completely blocked the supply of food and energy to the country. In the large inner cores there was nothing to eat. The shattering was so terrible that the trees in the parks and in the garden of the house were used as fuel. Cities are equalized and life at the level of the earth's crust.

There were, however, men looking deep into the famine they had under the ground. Millions of oxen or tulipas hearts (Tulipa spp. ). An underground bulb of splendid flowers ever devoured by whole houses. For the Government, it was a hard challenge to cheer life every year and convince him to eat the underground hustle of the ox's heart that spring brought. In addition to recipe books and propaganda kitchen demonstrations, ambassadors also came to show that they were healthy and devoured by bulbs.

There was also a serious problem: the bulb germ of the ox's heart shakes the bowels. There are lots of allusions to how the stomach started eating bulbs and swelled until it got frightened. At that time, the longest and noisiest noises of history had been heard. They learned to take out the germ and make a lot of soup, bread and biscuits, sandwiches, coffee substitutes, etc. According to Metz, the caretaker of the Resistance Museum of the Netherlands, in February 1945, the official ration had only 340 kilocalories a day. The supply considered to be normal is that for the year 2000. The heart of ox is a rich energy source, has more calories than the potato (Solanum tuberosum).

Today, the leading restaurants in the Netherlands are reclaiming the ox bulb as a raw material and inventing new uses. If you approach it, consider the following restaurants: Café Caron de Amsterdam, de Librije de Zwoll and de Nieuwe Winkel de Nijmegen. You'll tell me when I come back.

There would be time to hunger just by feeling it in all places, people looking at the land, a black blot in all the houses. We have heard many times from our grandfather the Lombard (Brassica oleracea var. I had eaten perfectly when I was little and when I was young. Nor would the anus be missing! Bertsolari Eusebio Mugerza Mendaro Txirristaka from Mendaro was the point that Antonio Zabala picked up in the 1974 book “Mendaro Txirristaka bertsolaria”: “When we eat them / berza and leek; / cannot palpate / roar in the stomach”.
