Two mysteries

Last Monday, between 8 and 9 p.m. my blog received over 250 hits, which may be normal for some of you who have over 100 or 200 followers, but which is gigantic when it comes to my blog! 99% were from people in France who had googled the words ‘faux filet de boeuf’ I did a post on this delicious piece of meat in November 2010. Until now it is the most popular post ever, but it never got so many hits in hardly one hour. 

So I really wonder what caused this sudden interest in sirloin steak, because that’s what ‘faux filet the boeuf’ is. My first guess is that there was a cooking show on a French television channel that featured this particular piece of beef. Maybe you’ve seen it. Or maybe you can think of another reason for this sudden interest. Please tell me if you know something that can solve this first mystery.

And then there is a second mystery. However, in this case I know the answer. Let’s see if you know it too. Can you tell me what you see in this photo? Good luck!
