Sometimes I read the reviews of novice car travelers. They are full of tragedy. After reading such reviews, other novice travelers may think that road trips are difficult and inconvenient. The Internet is full of information. Thousands of people travel by car year after year (and the lion's share still use motorhomes). I will write for those who will travel from the Central part of Russia through Belarus to Europe. The IGO program is installed in modern phones and maps are downloaded into it. Which ones to upload - the newest or a year old - see for yourself. It used to...

The program of speech therapy work to overcome the general underdevelopment of speech in children General underdevelopment of speech (OHP) in children with normal hearing and intact intelligence is a violation that covers both the phonetic-phonemic and lexical-grammatical systems of the language. In the classical literature, three levels have been identified that characterize the speech status of children with OHP: from the absence of commonly used speech to extended phrasal speech with elements of lexico-grammatical and phonetic underdevelopment (R. E. Levina). A conceptual approach to the problem of overcoming the general underdevelopment of speech involves comprehensive planning and implementation of speech therapy work with these children...

Sooner or later, any self-respecting housewife thinks about how to surprise her household. And the best way to do this is to cook some exotic dish. Turtle soup is sure to please fans of seafood and gourmet dishes from them. By the way, it is turtle soup that is a traditional dish of the Chinese province of Hebei.

Interesting facts

Where is turtle soup eaten? In fact, this dish is widespread in many countries that have access to the sea. In the Chinese province of Hebei, turtle soup is served in restaurants, cooked at home, and is also treated with an exquisite delicacy to dear and honored guests. By the way, serving this dish is a special matter. So, the owner of the house, before serving turtle soup to the table, puts a tray with two bowls in front of the guest. One of them contains turtle blood, and the second contains her bile, diluted with a strong alcoholic drink. Of course, all this is presented for a reason - the guest, as a sign of respect, must empty both bowls.

In European restaurants, you can also taste a delicious turtle dish. The only difference is that here the guest does not have to drink her blood. Turtle soup has healing power, as reptiles live in a clean environment, eat seaweed rich in iodine and phosphate, as well as other plants that contain a lot of useful substances.

Not every turtle is suitable for making soup. As a rule, these are green or specially bred soup vulture turtles.

By the way, England is considered the birthplace of this dish. A few centuries ago, ships that transported reptiles departed from Ascension Island. On the abdomen of each individual, a mark was placed, which testified to the purpose of each particular turtle. For this reason, among the crew members one could often hear phrases like "The Earl of Shaftesbury hasn't eaten much since yesterday - it might end badly" or "Lord Barrington died last night".

There was also a special turtle on the ship, intended for the royal table - she had no right to feel unwell, and even more so to die. And on the islands themselves there were such a huge number of these creatures that food was often prepared from them for local prisoners.

Turtle is used in folk medicine. So, her eggs are used as a tonic and aphrodisiac. And the dried genitals of the male have a strong effect on male potency.

Tortilla Soup

Turtle soup is considered a delicacy in many cultures. For its preparation, cooks use directly turtle meat, some entrails, as well as skin and some shields from the shell.

What turtles are used to make turtle soup? In fact, there are special varieties, such as the vulture or green turtle, as well as its Far Eastern variety. The main feature is the soft shell, which indicates the presence of the most tender meat under it.

The abundance of herbs and natural spices is a distinctive feature of turtle soup. In one of the Chinese restaurants, you can taste delicious soup made from Pelodiscus sinensis - a type of Far Eastern tortoise or Chinese Trionyx. To create turtle soup, they try not to use hard-shelled reptiles - which is due to the legends and tales hovering around these individuals.

Tasting this culinary masterpiece in China is an honorable thing, so you should make an order in advance. The fact is that even pre-cooked and seasoned ingredients will not allow you to quickly cook turtle soup. The recipe for this dish requires a long simmer.

Turtle soup usually has a dark rich color. As a rule, small pieces of fat float on its surface, and the soup itself has a sharp aroma. Tortoise meat is dark in color, somewhat similar to pork seasoned with soy sauce, or reminiscent of reindeer meat. The taste of turtle meat is ambiguous - it is a cross between pork, chicken and veal. It should be noted that turtle meat has a slimy texture, which is very similar to canned mushrooms.

The described soup is an incredibly tasty dish. The only thing to warn gourmets about is small bones and pieces of shell that can be found in large pieces of meat. This dish is definitely worth trying for lovers of exotic and culinary delights.

Recipe from a 1995 cookbook

First of all, you need to choose quality ingredients. To prepare the soup, you should choose a turtle that is intended for culinary use.

So, the cooking method:

• Cut off the turtle's head and hang the carcass so that all the blood drains from it.
• After that, gut it and rinse thoroughly with water. It is better to do this several times.
• Separate the meat from the bones and cut into small pieces.
• After that, boil the pieces of pulp in slightly salted water for 3-4 hours. Then boil small pieces of beef and pork in the same water. Add roots, onions and other vegetables. Boil the soup until all products are fully cooked.
• Then you need to prepare an infusion of herbs and fragrant spices. To do this, take a pinch of rosemary, basil, parsley, dill and mint, put in a pot of boiling Madeira (about 1 cup) and then simmer over low heat for several minutes.
• At the end, pepper and salt the dish. Before serving, you can season the turtle soup with a small amount of diluted potato starch for greater thickness.

A little salt, 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper and 6 cups of water is the base in which the finely chopped turtle meat will be boiled. The broth must be brought to a boil, then left on low heat, removing the foam from time to time. Cook for at least 30 minutes. After that, the meat is laid out on a plate for cooling. The water in which it was boiled will be needed in the future, so you should not pour it out. The boiled carcass must be cut into small pieces.

After that, fry a tablespoon of flour with butter in a pan. This is necessary for the velvety structure of the soup. Then add the cooked vegetables and continue to simmer in the pan. Seasonings, spices and herbs are sent to the container only after the vegetables are 70% ready. Now you can add the broth in which the turtle meat was cooked and the remaining ingredients to the deep frying pan.

Before serving, the soup is decorated with greens and boiled eggs, cut into halves.

Since Shark is aware that Levassier's nephew hid from his uncle the girl Molly, who is a subject of England. She came to him as a slave. He also knows that Thibault and Martin are in collusion with each other. The admiral learned all this from Luke, who was sent by Martin and is in Basse-Terre. Take a course there and go to the tavern. Chat with its owner and ask about Luke. It will be known that he died. His funeral was paid for by Robber Martin, who is now sitting at one of the tables. Be sure to approach him and chat to find out what to do next in the passage of the game Corsairs: To each his own.

You can head for Tortuga and moor on the Fish Eye beach. From there you need to get to the city. Enter the tavern and ask the owner where Thibault lives. Go outside and head towards the port. When you see a red arch in front of you, turn left and go straight ahead. So you will reach a two-story house with a red roof. This is where Henri Thibault lives. Come into the house and chat with him. After the conversation, return to the tavern and wait until the envoy from Marten appears. After waiting for him, you will find out that the person you need will appear here within an hour.

Go to Henri's house and turn right from it. Then go to the hatch and go down into the dungeon. Turn right, go straight until you reach a left turn. Having turned, go forward until you meet Levasseur with accomplices. First talk to him, and then cut off his oxygen. Continue the passage of the game Corsairs: To each his own and get out of here. Get to the beach near which the ship was left and climb aboard. Now you need to go to St. Christopher to report on the work done by de Poinsy. After that, you will receive a frigate with sailors as a reward. You will also learn that Saint Pierre was attacked by the Spanish military.

Defense of Saint Pierre

Open the map and head to the island of Martinique. After watching the video, you will be transferred to the shore of Lamentin beach. Approach the commander of the allied forces and chat with him. Then arm yourself and move deep into the island, simultaneously shooting Spanish soldiers. After you go down to the dungeon where Michel is being held, kill everyone and free your brother.

In order to do this, you need to find the keys that lie opposite the stairs in the corner. Pick them up and go to the camera, then release your brother to freedom. Then get out of the dungeon and head to the city. It is worth noting that from now on, in the passage of the game Corsairs: To each his own, a brother squad will help you. So head to the fort and shoot all the opponents.

Once you've won, talk to Michel again and head back to Lamentin to board your ship. Then attack the Spaniards from the sea and try to stay away from the ship of the line. Use a rock for cover, wait until they run out of weapons and capture them. Then you can return to the shore and talk to your brother.

Wait until the next day and head to the church, find Abbot Benoit in it to receive a message from him. But my brother is not here now. Read the contents of the letter and talk to the abbot again. He will say that he suspects Michel that he is up to something very bad, but he does not yet know what exactly is in his mind.

In Search of the Guardian of Truth

Start by going down to the subway where Michel was imprisoned. Approach the boss and talk to him. Then head to the cage in which your brother was sitting and chat with the Spaniard. After you get a little about Miguel Dichoso, you can return to the boss and ask to release the captured Spaniard. Go back and talk to him again, and then go to your ship and head for Cuba. Once you're in Anna Maria Bay, look for the Spaniard currently being held captive. His name is Cardoso, and it is he who must deliver the message to Father Vincento.

Continue the passage of the game Corsairs: To each his own and go into the jungle. On them you need to get to the gate leading to Santiago. Then get to the lighthouse and wait until Lastiri comes up to you, in whose hands there will be a message from Father Vincento. Read it and you will understand that the time has come when you need to prove your loyalty. Now you need to find one Frenchman who boarded the ship "Santa Margarita". The fact is that three valuable things were transported on this ship, which should be delivered to the church of Santiago.

You will also learn that the ship was last seen in Hispaniola. Head to Porto Prince and go to a tavern. Ask the owner about the boat. But he doesn't know anything about him. Set a course for Tortuga and visit another tavern. After you talk to its owner, you will find out that the galleon was here recently. Continue the passage of the game Corsairs: To each his own and head to the shipyard. Find the leader there and ask about the ship. It turns out that "Santa Margarita" is for sale and is now called "Delightful". Try to get to the port authority as soon as possible to find out about the privateer there. It turns out that he headed for Sint Maarten.

Waste no time and head there, disembark and go to the local shop. Ask about the privateer to find out about the recent unloading of goods. However, no one knows the next destination port. Go outside and talk to passers-by who might also know something. Sooner or later it turns out that Guy is now going to Barbados.

Once on board your ship, open the map and set a course for Barbados too. After landing on the shore, ask the people and Guy to find out that the privateer is heading to Basse-Terre. It is worth noting that this is where you will catch up with him. First, try talking to the boatswain, who will immediately recognize you. But you will have to work hard to lure Guy himself. Since there is now a karakka sailing under the Spanish flag in the raid, send a sloop there and make a deal with the merchant. Wait three hours and return to him to find out if Guy bought the bait. Yes, he agrees to sell the goods.

In the further passage of the Corsairs: To each his own, you should go to Cape Inaccessible. After you pass into the city, you will find out that the sailors are now drinking here. Return to the bay where you left the ship and save. Then get on a boat that will take you to the Delightful. Be careful and head towards the cabin, eliminating the sailors along the way. Just try to remain unnoticed and act quietly, otherwise it will be tight. Then go into the cabin and shoot the musketeer. Open all the chests and empty them, and then talk to Guy. Try to persuade him to follow you. Then head to where you immediately ended up on the ship. Stand still for a bit until the script runs.

Guy is now with you and you can take him to the caretaker who is waiting at the Santiago Lighthouse. And he, in turn, will send the prisoner to the inquisitor. Just don't forget to bring vanilla with you. After talking with the inquisitor, you will have to wait a few days to get a final answer.

Continue the passage of the game Corsairs: To each his own, open the map and head for Bas-Terre. Land on the beach and find the church. Find a priest in it and persuade him to agree to give you a cross. In order for him to do this, you need to find one of the local authorities and bring him to the church so that he can kiss the holy father. Head to Fadey and tell him about everything, then come and give him 250 doubloons, and in return you will receive a cross.

Head to Willemstad, heading for the island of Curaçao. Find a moneylender there and talk to him. It turns out that the things were sold to Roly Kolpak and the Spaniard Ribero. Go to Cumana, go to the tavern and ask about the girl. That way you will know where she lives. Then go there and chat with Ribero. She will ask you for help. You have to go to the bandits who stole her husband. They are located near the entrance to the cave. Try to defeat them. After the leader of the gang surrenders, go up to him and talk. It turns out that this is Ribero's missing husband. Chat with him, and then return to the girl and tell about what happened. So you get ostensorium.

In the further passage of the game Corsairs: To each his own, you should go to Antigua to find the colonel who hired the Cap. His office is located in the residence of the city. Approach him and talk to find out that the Cap is already dead, and they will bury him in Dominica. Head there and find a chest in Scottshead Cove. More precisely, it is located in a grotto located to the right of the waterfall. After you take the censer from the chest, head to the boat and wait for the English military, who will soon come up.

Talk to him, and then finish him and his retinue. Get on the boat and sail towards the Santiago Lighthouse. Find the caretaker in it and chat with him. On the next day, you will receive a letter from the inquisitor. Now you can visit Santiago officially. However, you still need to have the perk with the Spanish flag.

Now in the passage of the game Corsairs: To each his own, you again need to go to Santiago and go to the headquarters of the Inquisition, located near the church. Chat with the head and get a task to find Gino Guineilly, who lives in Antigua. Swim there, find and talk to Gino. Then head for Trinidad and drop anchor in the city of San Jose. After you pass into the city, head to the tavern and ask about the frigate. If you don’t find out anything, then go to the local shop, and then to the port authority and residence. Only when you find yourself at the lighthouse keeper will you learn something about this. Coming out of there, the Spaniards will run up to you with their leader - Diego. He will talk to you and offer to buy the Chief's Claw dagger.

Go to the inquisitor and talk to him, and then get out of the house and walk down the street. After a while, a Spaniard will run up to you and tell you that Diego's squadron will leave Havana and head towards Maine. Start your journey to Havana and go to the tavern to ask the owner about it. Then head to the ship and send the boat to Cape San Antonio. You should move by sea. As soon as you drop anchor, you will immediately be ambushed, and your wards will arrive a little later. Since they will come from the side of the jungle, for now you will have to fight off the opponents yourself. Then Diego will climb into the lugger and head towards Cape Catoche. Follow him.

Having reached Catoche, you will be met by the Spaniard's fighters. Make every effort to let her sink. Continue the passage of the Corsairs: To each his own and finish off the remaining accomplices of the Spaniard, and then go through the jungle. So you will find yourself near the fort, which must be taken by storm. Eliminate everyone, and then go into the armory to find Diego and the musketeer in it. After you kill both, search Diego's body and head to the ship. Just be careful, because in the bay you will meet with opponents Patersen. Then go out to the open sea and notice his squadron. Then find the inquisitor.

After you talk to him, take a course to Admiral Shark, who is now in Sharptown. Find and talk to him to learn a lot of interesting things. Then take a course for Basse-Terre and find Fadey there. After the conversation takes place, it will become known that Patterson occupies a very important position. Climb aboard your ship and sail to Port Royal. Drop anchor in the city and wait for Calhoun to come up to you and make an offer for a drink. Agree and follow him. Now in the passage of the game Corsairs: To Each His Own, you should wait until Patersnon's squadron leaves, and then figure out how to steal Calhoun's diary.
