Una vista a Rungis, el Mercado de Alimentos más Grande del Mundo (página 2 de 2)Home >> Experiencias Gastronómicas
Página: 1 2 Página precedente Preaución: Si eres vegetariano o sufres del corazón, por gavor NO hagas click en las imágenes en el link en este apartado. En la entrada de la nave más macabra de todas, La Triperie (la nave de las tripas), vimos una pileta de sangre fresca:
Una bolsa de corazones hearts. Vimos una caja de sesos brains - ¿De ternera o de borrego? Las cabezas de ternera Calves' heads y las cabezas de cerdo pigs' heads siempre son un hit con las visitantes japonesas jóvenes. Según nuestro guía, hacen todo tipo de ruiditos, se ríen y algunas se desmayan. Nos ahorraron la parte más pesada, las cabezas de caballo. Ve más cabezas heads.
La Nave de la Carne es un lugar leve comparado con lo que precedió. Aquí sólo venden cortes, sirloin y filetes, aunque te venden la res completa.
¿Quieres intimar con los locales?
Este lechón muerto dead piglet puede impresioar a algún lector.
Nuestra última visita fue a un enrme supermercado para restaurantes que vende componentes para comida industriales y semi-industriales. Una especie de supermercado listo-para-usar gastronómico.
En este pasillo, los restauranteros parisienses pueden comprar patés ya hechos, pepinillos y camarones por galón. Verdaderos especiales para chefs.
Ya adentrados en el supermercado, descubrimos lo que podría llamarse el Secreto suizo de los salseros parisiences. Una fila entera de salsas en polvo, incluyendo todas las salsas conocidas por Escoffier, hechas en Suiza por Knorr. Diré que no todos los chefs franceses compran aquí si me conceden que Suiza es más que sólo Knorr. Concluimos nuestra extraordinaria visita alrededor de las 9:00 AM con un plato de osiones y un omelette en A la Marée. Nuestro guía, M. Sordet había sido amabale, profesional y comunicativo y nos esperó hasta que nos subimos al taxi antes de irse. Hay quienes llaman a docenas de taxis antes de que uno se pare por Rungis. La visita definitivamente valió la pena y se la recomiendo a cuialquer gourmet o chef casero.
¿Cómo puedes visitar Rungis? Conozco 4 maneras:
1. Únete a un tour 2. Contrata un guía oficial 3. Ve con un comprador/vendedor registrado 4. Cuélate con astcia 5. Registrate como comprador. Una ves dentro, probablemente no consigas el mismo precio o la misma calidad que un profesional conocedor. Pero a veces la frescura y la amplia selección son tan importantes como el precio.

I visited RUNGIS last November as part of a UN ECE Meat Standardsdelegation and we were their to view the Offal and meat market. I have
been in the meat industry for 45 years and this was the greatest
display of meat products that I have ever seen. We started at 0445AM
and by 0800 it was time for breakfast (or lunch for the market
people)at the market offal restaurant. The serving was Calf Head Mask
(boned out calf head) rolled and boiled served on a bed of greens and a
garnish of garlic source and a glass of red wine to wash it down
followed by choc - desert. hat a great start to the day. We spent the next 10 hours at meetings in the building debating offal products.What a great experience it is to visit Rungis.

The product is wonderful, but how to get in touch with the supplier. looking forward to your kindly reply, thank you.- #5
- Answered by fx
Which product do you refer to? I don't think there are any suppliers at Rungis, most people are either wholesalers or buyers.- #6

- Comment by Parshu Narayanan
I am a Hindu, whose Indian heritage includes the world's greatest vegetarian cuisines and I must confess to some Chainsaw massacre-style horror and civilizational "clashing" at seeing boxes of colourful little birds and rabbits,bags of brains and hearts, heads of pigs and calves and so forth - I am very sorry for feeling so judgemental, and 60% of my countrymen would eat most of these things, but I cant help feeling that they and you Westerners are neither refined nor civilized and those who eat only what grows on God's good earth (yours truly, for instance) are on an ethically and culturally higher plane.- #9
- Answered by fx
Parshu, indeed it is very difficult but for the most hard-core meat eater not to feel for the slaughtered animals sold in Rungis. Many of the people who eat them would hesitate if they saw the animal alive or freshly killed. I agree. But who am I to disguise the reality of Rungis to the visitors? If you decide to visit once, please know there is a large flowers hall too.- #10
- Comment by parshu.narayanan
Of course you are right. On calm reflection, there is no culture without some perverse traditions. The best one can hope for is humane slaughter.- #11
- Answered by fx
Quite right indeed - I read in Mircea Eliade's book 'L'inde', a recollection of his travel through Indian in the 1930's that he witnessed locals who kept a crocodile alive for days with his tail partly cut for the meat. Keeping him alive ensured fresh meat. It's really hard to sum up a culture just with a few horrible anectodes and we must agree that there is more to France than pressed ducks, snails and frog legs.- #12

- Comment by natalie
How could you kill all of these animals! What did they do to you?- #15
- Answered by fx
Natalie, rest assured that these animals were quite dead already when I arrived in Rungis. But I admit Rungis is no place for vegetarians and might turn you into one if you stay too long!- #16
- Comment by Erin
Your sick, wtf is wrong with you people. Anyone who likes to see dead animals is a freak, and seriously needs to get a life. I'm not like a pet person or anything, but animals have feelings you know, pigs scream when their head is being sawed off, dogs wince when their kicked. Freaks.- #17
- Comment by psyduck
Amazing! Thanks for sharing your trip with the rest of the world. As a cook who can spend an hour at a regular market, that place looks just incredible to me.Also, your tour guide looks like Ben Gazzara.- #18
- Comment by Harv
Interesting place! I believe Chef Anthony Bourdain's show, called No Reservations, was there in the game hall a few years ago. To those that made rude remarks, I would say that you see plenty of "dead animals" in your supermarket, just not in it's original form. Do you go yell at the butcher there? Do you chastise the customers purchasing meat? These photos show your food before it's been processed into unrecognizable parts.- #19

I am interested in visiting something not every typical tourist would like to see. I have heard of the Paris Wholesale Market and would like to visit. Your article provides the best info and direction on how to get there. It is great as far as I am concerned!- #22
- Comment by Debopriyo
Fantastic pictures... The birds are mainly grouse, partridge and mallard (duck) and the furry animals are rabbits. They represent the epitome of gastronomy in France and is nothing to be ashamed or sick about. They are bred for eating like chickens or goats in India or for that matter any where in the world.- #23
- Comment by Bruce F
This is a terrific piece. I have one small suggestion. You might want to change the title of the piece to "A Visit to Rungis, .....". Right now it's ungrammatical.I do want to say that I truly enjoy your site. It's great reading.- #24
- Comment by Becky
Hi! Thanks for the article. FYI, the correct website is "www.visiterungis.com". I'd hate for someone to miss out. I just finished watching a rerun of the No Reservations show--it inspired me to visit Rungis when I'm in Paris in a few weeks.- #25
- Answered by fx
Thanks for the corrections - I have amended the article!- #26
- Comment by Mary
You asked for someone to identify the birds in your picture, well I can definitely say they are Pheasants in the feather, pheasants plucked, cock pheasants, Partridge and Mallard. I would love to visit Rungis with my partner and have a meal at the fish restaurant.- #27

Great tour- and the photos were superb- perhaps because of the lack of flash... A propos to large markets, i have visited The "La Merced" market in Mexico City, Mexico, many times (also massive and very photogenic), and remember seeing an excellent photo essay on the Tokyo fish market (world's largest?).keep 'em coming- I like your work!- #32

Thank you for your comments! I have a big article on Tokyo's Tsukiji fish market on this website too, and would very much enjoy visiting Mexico's La Merced.- #33
- Comment by Sonya
Thanks for the great read. Much enjoyed the entertaining comments. My husband works at Rungis (fruit) and I regularly sneak in with a friend to have a look around, though it's hard to soak up the atmosphere when you're not with a "local". La Marée is a must.- #34

What a perfect wholesale market. I would like to visit there.where can I get more photo about that market? thx for all- #39
- Comment by castorp
This is just amazing. I don't see the point of people being horrified by dead meat.I just admire a culture that succeed in keeping products fresh, healthy and appealing in such a large scale consumption society ( which in many other countries has turn to industrial and chemical way of making food...)- #40

Homan I just bought a nice book about Rungis that you can order from Amazon.fr, or you can visit their website for more pictures.- #41

FX, is Rungis as large as Hunts Point Coop?- #43
- Answered by fx
GunnCat, I don't know the place you mention but Rungis is huge, largest wholesale food market in Europe, you need a car to cover it, so I guess it's probably bigger unless Hunts Point Coop claims to be the largest in the world.- #44
- Comment by Wendy Mehr
I am fascinated by Rugis. I saw a tour for the first time by Anthony Bordain and I can not wait to go. Your pictures and tour are wonderful. I am a home chef and adore cooking. Please if you have a chance come and attend "Pebble Beach Food and Wine Festival" . We had our first this last March and it was tremendously succesful with such chefs as Alain Passard, Ming Tsai, Jacque Pepin and so many others. Thank you for your time. Wendy- #45

Wendy, thanks for visiting, I hope you get to visit Rungis, if you do try to go with a guide and very, very early before the action is out!- #46

You have done a great job here giving precise informations and good desription of the main theme its like being at your side while been taken around thanks a great deal.- #47
- Comment by Jean
One of the problems with the West mainly is that many have disassociated the meat they eat from the animals and processes which it comes from. Coming from a largely rural island, I'm accustomed to slaughtering animals for food and seeing dead animals. Indeed there is some attraction for me, seeing an animal being prepared for food from scratch. No perversion.Personally, I can't decide who's more hypocritical whether vegetarians, who go against human omnivorous nature, or omnivores who refuse to watch or acknowledge the animals/processes that they feed from. What kind of animal is man that he can't come to terms with what he eats?
Great articles and photos btw!
- #48
- Answered by fx
Jean, thanks for dropping by! I think we must leave vegetarians to their sensibilities, after all if they don´t want to kill animals to feed themselves, this is their choice and there has been for thousand years men who lived without eating any meat. But those who eat meat should not condemn the slaughtering, otherwise they are just a bunch of holier-than-thous.- #49
- Comment by BARDET Philippe
Hi François Xavier,I am the guide mentioned in your great article. Thanks for saying that I am a good one ! You gave my cell phone number to your readers and plenty of them call me but to mention my e-mail address as well should be more practical I guess if you don't mind.( philbardet@hotmail.com ) Thank you in advance. I recently visited the Tsukiji fish market in Tokyo. I had been invited by Mr Keiichi Suzuki President of Tsukiji Uoichiba one of the main wholesalers, a wonderful trip into the Japanese seafood world.
Best regards.
Philippe

Speaking as a photographer and not a gourmet, I would like to thank you for saving me a visit to Rungis, where I had been dreaming of going for the past year or two. It is far too antiseptic and hygienic for my photographic taste. For incredible photos, I recommend you visist a "wet market" next time you are in asia, or any outdoor market in Burma/Myanmar, for instance. If i had gotten up at such an ungodly hour to see those seas of cartons, I would have kicked myself, especially as I am allergic to oysters. Your photos are excellent, however, as you found all the interesting bits, and I enjoyed looking at them.- #53

I think if you'd checked in the seafood section you'd have found that much of the seafood would have come from Scottish ports. Truckloads of fresh produce get sent from Scottish ports to France and Spain.Nice report, does look like a great place to visit.

I am wildly impressed with your article. I arrived at your page courtesy of a Google search for the elusive oca tuber (it's obviously a quite round-about way to get to Paris) but, boy, am I glad I did. I hope you will enjoy Mexico Cooks!, where you will see also see photos of pig heads and various entrails for sale in the markets.- #61

Thank you for your article. I will be going to Paris in early October, and as a chef instructor in the U.S. I am anxious to see as much of Rungis as I can. I have also been in contact with Philippe regarding the tour. Do you recommend his services? I am a little hesitant about booking things on-line sight unseen.- #63

The slaughterhouse for a metropolis! I think it used to be right in the center of Paris where Les Halles is now. There are also many smaller markets where you can buy fresh meat and cheese and vegetables right in the city everyday.- #68

Rungis is huge, but Central de Abaston in Mexico City is bigger.- #70

Really enjoyed this article about Rungis - I'm a chef and would really love to visit one day!! Agree the meat market may not be for the faint-hearted but if we respect the animal by cooking it well who are we to say whether it's right or wrong. Will try and find your piece on Tokyo now!¡Dime que piensas!
