“Gigot bitume” is a traditional meal on French construction sites, often to celebrate the completion of masonry works or foundations.
Pieces of seasoned meat are wrapped in several layers of Kraft paper and aluminium foil, and cooked by suspending them inside of containers filled with liquid asphalt for up to an hour.

I can't imagine that would be good. Asphalt smells horrible and surely that would taint the meat.

I'd try it but it seems like a needless hassle compared to just buying some charcoal and grilling the meat.

I had this last summer. Pretty good, but the seasoning and novelty factor probably played a big part. Would recommend.

That's why you wrap it up, you obviously don't want any asphalt to come into contact with the meat. There's like ten layers of paper and/or foil.

There used to be a wealth tax in France for decades that contributed greatly to the economy. This was cut a few years ago - it just so happens to line up with these protests starting up? Coincidental I'm sure.

When you live in a nation that has a government that can be influenced by wealth, as any nation with legal lobbying is, laws are to the wishes of the rich. And this is ignoring just basic bribery. Please gather some basic understanding of civics.
>>13077376 >>13077380
Of course immigration is helpful to the rich. But doubly so, first they get a source of cheap labor, the immigrants. And second, they get a convenient scapegoat to point the majority they are screwing over against.
Instead of people being mad at them for being greedy and overpowered, they can turn the poor against the poor.

supply and demand. cheap labor keeps wages lower and raises housing costs. also benefits on top of that

or what actually happens is both are blamed. the rich for bring them in, the politicians who bring them in for votes and the immigrants for taking jobs, crime and terrorism.

really? i mean sure theres a tub or hot asphalt ready. would it not be less work to just bring a smoker or grill to the construction site? i mean they still seasoned the meat like you would in a kitchen. the hassle is that they wrapped the meats 10 different times then wired them together with weights. they're just steam cooking the meat too. it can't be very tasty
