Ngo-1898, e-Zurich, e-Sihlstrasse 28, eduze ne-Bahnhofstrasse edumile, isikhungo se-atypical ngesikhathi saso savula iminyango yaso - i-cafe yemifino. Ngaphezu kwalokho, ayizange inikeze uphuzo oludakayo. I-"Vegetarierheim und Abstinnz Café" - "Indawo yokuhlala yemifino kanye nekhefi yama-teetotalers" - yahlala, nokho, iminyaka eminingana, yadlula ekuqaleni kwekhulu le-19 kuya kwelama-20. Manje inqoba izinhliziyo nezisu zemifino yekhulu lama-21.
Ukudla kwemifino eYurophu kwakusanda kuqala ukungena emfashinini ngamahlonyana, futhi indawo yokudlela yayingakwazi ukuziphilisa - imali engenayo emaphakathi yayingama-franc angama-30 ngosuku. Akumangalisi: IZurich ngaleso sikhathi yayisekude nesikhungo sezimali, izakhamuzi azizange zilahle imali, futhi emindenini eminingi kakade kwase kuwukunethezeka ukunikeza inyama etafuleni okungenani kanye ngesonto, ngamaSonto. Abantu abadla imifino emehlweni abantu abavamile babebukeka “njengabadla utshani” abayiziphukuphuku.
Umlando “wekhefi ye-teetotalers” ubungeke uphele ngalutho ukube phakathi kwamakhasimende ayo bekungekho isivakashi esithile esivela eBavaria okuthiwa u-Ambroseus Hiltl. Kakade lapho eneminyaka engu-20 ubudala, yena, umthungi ngokomsebenzi, wabhekana nokuhlaselwa kanzima kwe-gout futhi wayengakwazi ukusebenza, njengoba wayengakwazi ukunyakaza iminwe yakhe. Omunye wodokotela wabikezela ukuthi uzofa ngaphambi kwesikhathi uma uHitle engayeki ukudla inyama.
Le nsizwa yalandela iseluleko sikadokotela futhi yaqala ukudla njalo endaweni yokudlela edla imifino. Lapha, ngo-1904, waba umphathi. Futhi ngonyaka olandelayo, wathatha esinye isinyathelo esibheke empilweni nasekuchumeni - washada nompheki uMartha Gnoipel. Ndawonye, lo mbhangqwana wathenga le ndawo yokudlela ngo-1907, bayiqamba ngegama labo. Kusukela lapho, izizukulwane ezine zomndeni wakwa-Hiltl bezifeza izidingo zemifino zabahlali baseZurich: indawo yokudlela idluliselwe emgqeni wesilisa, ukusuka ku-Ambroisus ngokulandelana kuya ku-Leonhard, u-Heinz futhi ekugcineni u-Rolf, umnikazi wamanje we-Hiltl.
U-Rolf Hiltl, owaqala ukuphatha indawo yokudlela ngo-1998, ngemva nje kweminyaka eyikhulu, wasungula ngokushesha, kanye nabazalwane bakwaFry, uchungechunge lokudla kwemifino i-Tibits by Hiltl enamagatsha eLondon, Zurich, Bern, Basel naseWinterthur.
Ngokusho kwe-Swiss Vegetarian Society, amaphesenti angu-2-3 kuphela abantu abambelela endleleni yokuphila yemifino ngokuphelele. Kodwa-ke, akekho ozokwenqaba isidlo semifino esilungiselelwe kahle.
“Abantu bokuqala abadla imifino, ngokwengxenye enkulu, babengabaphuphi ababekholelwa ukuthi izulu lingakhiwa emhlabeni. Namuhla, abantu sebeshintshela ekudleni okusekelwe ezitshalweni, benakekela kakhulu impilo yabo. Lapho amaphephandaba egcwele izihloko eziphathelene nesifo sohlanya lwezinkomo eminyakeni embalwa edlule, kwakunolayini endaweni yethu yokudlela,” kukhumbula uRolf Hiltl.
Naphezu kokuthi indawo yokudlela isebenze kulo lonke ikhulu lama-20, ukudla kwemifino sekukonke sekunesikhathi eside kusethunzini. Ukudlondlobala kwayo kwafika ngeminyaka yawo-1970, lapho imibono yokuvikela izilwane nendawo ezungezile ithola umfutho. Intsha eningi yaba nesifiso sokubonisa uthando lwayo kubafowabo abancane ngesenzo ngokwenqaba ukubadla.
Udlale indima kanye nentshisekelo kumasiko angavamile kanye nokudla: isibonelo, amaNdiya namaShayina, asekelwe ezitsheni zemifino. Akukona nje ukuqondana ukuthi imenyu ka-Hiltl namuhla ihlanganisa izitsha eziningi ezenziwe ngokwendlela yokupheka yase-Asian, Malaysian, kanye ne-Indian cuisine. I-Vegetable Paella, i-Artichokes yama-Arabhu, Isobho Lezimbali nezinye izibiliboco.
Ukudla kwasekuseni kunikezwa kusukela ngo-6 ekuseni kuya ku-10.30 ekuseni, izivakashi zinikezwa amakhekhe okupheka, amasaladi emifino alula kanye nezithelo (kusuka ku-3.50 franc ngamagremu angu-100), kanye namajusi emvelo. Indawo yokudlela ivuliwe kuze kube phakathi kwamabili. Ngemuva kwesidlo sakusihlwa, ama-dessert amaningi athandwa kakhulu. Ungakwazi futhi ukuthenga izincwadi zokupheka lapho abapheki bakwa-Hiltl babelana ngezimfihlo zabo futhi bafunde ukuziphekela wena.
“Engikuthanda kakhulu ngalo msebenzi wukuthi ngiyakwazi ukumangaza futhi ngijabulise amakhasimende ami ngaphandle kokulimaza nesisodwa isilwane,” kusho uRolf Hiltl. “Kusukela ngo-1898, siye sahlanganisa izinto zikagesi ezingaphezu kwezigidi ezingu-40, cabanga ukuthi zingaki izilwane obekungadingeka zife ukube isinkwa ngasinye besinamagremu ayikhulu enyama?”
URolf ukholelwa ukuthi u-Ambrosius Hiltl angakujabulela ukubona inzalo yakhe ngosuku lokugubha iminyaka engu-111, kodwa futhi wamangala kanjalo. Njengoba ivuselelwe ngokuphelele ngo-2006, indawo yokudlela manje isihlinzeka ngabathengi abangu-1500 ngosuku, kanye nendawo yokuphuzela utshwala (engaseyona eyama-teetotalers), i-disco kanye nezifundo zobuciko bokupheka. Phakathi kwezivakashi ngezikhathi ezithile kukhona osaziwayo: umculi odumile uPaul McCartney noma umqondisi waseSwitzerland uMark Foster wazisa ukudla kwemifino.
I-Zurich Hiltl ingene kuGuinness Book of Records njengendawo yokudlela yokuqala yabantu abadla imifino eYurophu. Futhi enkundleni yezokuxhumana i-Facebook, edumile eSwitzerland, abalandeli be-1679 babhalisiwe ekhasini lendawo yokudlela yase-Hitl.
