December is traditionally the month to show off your cooking skills, but you can also go overboard. Like the man who was baking cheese souffle in a fryer on a train near Tilburg on Tuesday afternoon. And yes, there are pictures of this.
The images were taken on Tuesday afternoon around half past five (dinner time) by Corrado Francke, a former intern at Omroep Brabant. At that moment Corrado was on the train from Dordrecht to Tilburg, where he lives.
Plate with napkin
“I was almost home, so I was listening to music and was kind of lost in my thoughts. But then suddenly I felt something strange. I smoke french fries. I looked up and saw some people smiling.”
Corrado looked to the left and yes, there he saw a large airfryer. “It was on one of those tables, next to those benches where you can sit with four people.” Next to the airfryer was a man holding a plate with a napkin on it.
Not long after, he grabbed a cheese souffle from the airfryer. Like a real culinary Christmas miracle.
“I didn’t know what I saw. Many travelers looked around uneasily, but they also clearly found it amusing. But yes, that man who seemed to be the most normal thing in the world. He was also having a great time with that cheese soufflé.
‘Thank you’
When Corrado had to get off at his stop, he wished him a good appetite. “He looked straight ahead and said very curtly, ‘Thank you.’ The airfryer was still on, so I suspect he wasn’t done cooking yet.
Once home, Corrado himself also turned on the airfryer, he says. “Well, he smelled good, it made me hungry. If he had had frikandellen, I would have asked him if I could have one too.
