Degustation Abomination.

There I was, struggling to stitch words along the Huh fringe (denoted in red).
Pan Fried Japanese King Scallops with a Salsify and Cod Brandade, Served with Confit of Beetroot and Sauce Pistou

Korobuta Black Pork Loin with puree from Haricot Beans, Roasted Sweet Bell Peppers, Chorizo and Picholine Olive SugoAlex was certainly of great help with the following -
"pot of broth"
"stew of bean"
"eye of newt"
"tongue of rat"
"chopped up ex-fish"
"braised former pig"
"once-upon-a-cow sliced thinly and boiled with sauce with tiny dip of mayonnaise"
"thin strips of dough fried in oil with grated carrot bits and cheap canned peas" (which he promptly declared to be the affable Kuay Tiao)
As it turns out, a Chorizo is fundamentally a sausage. I'm sure the particularly charming visual aid from Wikipedia will leave an indelible imprint in your mind.

How exciting.

Well, prepped with my newfound knowledge, at least I won't fumble mucho at Degustation Aplomb tomorrow! =)
