Brine Quotes

“Sneezes pent but set like traps, the boys crouched, stood, lay sweating a cool and constant brine.”

“Not a soul
But felt a fever of the mad, and play'd
Some tricks of desperation; all but mariners
Plung'd in the foaming brine, and quit the vessel;
Then all afire with me the King's son Ferdinand
With hair up staring ( then like reeds, not hair)
Was the first man that leap'd; cried Hell is empty,
And all the devils are here.”
― William Shakespeare, The Tempest

“What's the point of having a good story if no one gets to hear it?”
― Claire Fayers, The Voyage to Magical North

“We walk, fading stars overhead, brine in the air.”
― Holly Black, The Stolen Heir

“The lemons I used were pickled in salt for over two weeks!"
"I knew it! You used preserved lemons!"
A North African condiment, salted lemons are made by pickling whole lemons in salty brine for weeks or months. Because the entire lemon, including the peel, is pickled parts of it can be used to emphasize just about any flavor...
... be it tartness, saltiness, bitterness, freshness or mellowness!
"I added the zest and pickling brine in my sponge cake, pralines and even the sauce! Its mild tartness should make the sweetness of the semifreddo stand out even more!”
― Yūto Tsukuda, 食戟のソーマ 10 [Shokugeki no Souma 10]
