What did you eat last night for dinner?

[gdl203]

^ I had this very same dish at Barbuto last year, sitting at the table right in front of the wood-fired oven. Perfect winter dinner.

and it's one of my favorite dishes at one of my favorite italian restaurants: dal pescatore.

Can't say I ever had the luck to dine there but very much look forward to that day.

the foam isn't working for me on that one. Looks like a net of slime. A net that is too thin to give it any flavor.

 

[gdl203]

Is this a radish on the left? Is it cooked?

 

[mgm9128]

It's not a foam, it's a sauce. It just got that way from whisking in the coral at the end.

The radish is cooked and dressed in a vinaigrette.

side salad

 

[gdl203]

I can honestly say that I've never had a cooked radish in my life. I'm now very curious...

If you whisk in coral it is supposed to turn red.

Thanks for the tip.

I think if you had spooned the sauce over the lobster to give the foam part of the sauce a more controlled, splooge-ier look, rather than completely covered in it, a la bukkake, it would've looked more appetizing. (pause)

I wish I were a chef so I could start putting "a la bukkake" on my menus.

'Bukkake' in Japanese has a different meaning than the obscure Appreciation genre that most internetz people know about, so in Japan they actually do call some foods 'bukkake' - ex. bukkake soba:

The grown-up me is grateful for the clarification.

The juvenile me is laughing ****** off at your soba noodles.
