BRUSSELS, Oct 24: A culinary show on Adolf Hitler’s favourite meal to be aired next week has come under fire from Jewish, resistance and political prisoner organisations.

In his series “Plat Prefere,” or “Favourite Dish,” professional cook Jeroen Meus goes to Hitler’s haunts in southern Germany to prepare trout with butter sauce, “a succulent festive meal” and said to be one of Hitler’s favourite meals, the programme’s trailer announced.

Michael Freilich, the editor of Joods Actueel magazine, leads the criticism saying it is worrying Hitler is turned into a banal figure, thus sending “the wrong signal” to a younger generation. The VRT network will air the show on Oct 28 and said it will put Hitler “in the right context.”—AP
