Fattening Up: The Best Recipes and Life Hacks
As part of our culinary segment, we decided to visit three renowned manul chefs and learn their secrets to successful fattening up.
Timofey
Favourite cuisine: Russian
Favourite dish: quail in its own feathers
- Timofey, you are a well-known advocate of fattening up. Thanks to you, the fashion for autumn fattening up has even spread to humans! How do you spend this period?
- The main thing is good hunting. I always hunt for myself—I don't trust those bald, leathery useless things. Besides, it's very easy: the quail is always waiting for me in plain sight. First, I marinate it—I creep up very slowly and wait until the meat reaches the right condition. And then I use the tooth grip.
- It must be upsetting to scare off game when it flies away, leaving you hungry?
- What are you talking about! That's all fairy tales for kittens. Food can't fly!
Nar
Favourite cuisine: Japanese
Favourite dish: chicken sashimi
- Nar, you are a renowned connoisseur of Japanese cuisine. Share the secrets of your favourite dishes.
- There are no small details in fattening up! I teach my chefs to butcher chicken carefully and cut out only the finest pieces for me. After all, the fattier the meat, the happier the manul!
- They say you have even learned to eat with chopsticks.
- Yes, my waiters serve me sashimi using chopsticks. These traditions are alien to me—tearing meat with fangs. Fattening up does not tolerate haste. Everything requires care and thoroughness.
Ariuna
Favourite cuisine: Italian
Favourite dish: rat al dente
- Ariuna, you have Italian roots. We have heard that you prefer Italian cuisine.
- That's true. What I love most is mouse carpaccio and rat al dente... Excuse me, my mother is calling me on video...
(Our correspondent could not miss such an opportunity. Altana is on the line! Let's ask her...)
- Hello! Altana? A few words for Manul TV! What is your favourite dish for autumn fattening up? Perhaps you prefer....
- ME-E-E-ATTTTTTT!!!!*
- Well then, as many manuls, as many opinions. This was the Manul TV team, and we wish you a pleasant...
- Dov'è la mia ME-E-E-ATTTTTTT?!!!!**

😸👍️👏, I search through the list for your posts and wait with... I was going to say impatience, but no—with patience, because creativity is not a quick process 😻👏👏👏
Thank you so much!
A huge thank-you to the editorial team and the interview participants❣️ It was fascinating, and most importantly—educational! So many preparation methods and flavors🤤
Yesterday I ate sushi, now I’m baking pizza; yesterday there was also breaded turkey (why not a quail in feathers) — turns out I live to the rhythm of manulinary enthusiasts. And what would autumn fattening be without it — a piece of Napoleon cake before bed.
