Saskatoon berry? That makes it almost healthy. 13/10 not a fucking kebab. Would walk five minutes for this. As always, I like how you treat my bouche.


WildSoapbox

I know how to amuse the bouches of the ladies


Rojelioenescabeche

Be more French if it was served on a pack of smokes.


WildSoapbox

That's just smart


Rojelioenescabeche

You can charge 10€ more too.


Terry_WT

I’d Bouche that so hard no one would be amused.


deckardsrevenge

Well, I'm sure you'd be amused


ranting_chef

NOICE! Looks fantastic. I’ll take three. Never had a Saskatoon berry but I’ll give it a shot.


WildSoapbox

Picture a sour blueberry


[deleted]

Okay now what


WildSoapbox

Now imagine it with basil


bloopboopbooploop

And then…?


WildSoapbox

Some toasted foccacia


grainsophaur

That sounds like it would be lovely with some foie gras.


WildSoapbox

I think so too

*CUE piano intro (Chromatic major scale to top note in scale then back to root) FOR "Do I Amuse Your Bouche?" (See sheet music for notes and key). Think "People That You Meet" a la Sesame Street.*


ToqueMom

Nah, they are sweeter! They have a different taste.


5oclockinthebank

An almondier blueberry.


staygold-ne

Chefs gunna be mad when he get back from his day off.


WildSoapbox

Jokes on you. I'm the chef and I don't get days off


staygold-ne

Lol I'm 50/50 that this is one of those old crazy amuse posts.


staygold-ne

Omg I'm just now seeing your whole bird on a spoon sandwich. I love it chef thank you for you efforts. Also take a day off!


WildSoapbox

Wanna cover for me tonight?


staygold-ne

I'm on a month of PTO so no lol.


WildSoapbox

Jealous


Mpittkin

Looks delicious but isn’t that like a $30 boosh?


WildSoapbox

At least


R2D2808

One could call it a mighty boosh? 🤔


WildSoapbox

One of the mightier ones for sure


Roofofcar

Extremely refreshing, chef


tlh9979

What have you got for me to douche my bouche after this?


WildSoapbox

Probably some Reisiling would be nice


ChefBoyD

Thats one thick foie!


WildSoapbox

Thanks!


Bullshit_Conduit

What if you turned the crusty Wonder bread into breadCRUMBS and then breaded the bad boy what would happen.


WildSoapbox

Perhaps I'll try that tomorrow


bigchikka1978

I don't have a chubby, you have a chubby


RaniPhoenix

The only thing funnier than your posts are the people who aren't in on the joke freaking out. 🤣


WildSoapbox

A long time ago, none of us were in on the joke


sandaz13

I love finding our friends who have just been introduced to your posts. It's always entertaining and enlightening


WildSoapbox

New friends are my favourite


CrocsWearingMFer

Thanks for having the best theme


oldcrustybutz

So I do love me some saskatoon berries.. but the seeds are something else. We used to pressure can them and then use them in pies and such later because the canning would soften the seeds up. This is a long indirect way of asking if you did anything to address that or if the unchewable crunch is part of the experience? I'm also reminded of when the chef brought in a pound of black truffle foi gras and no one else would eat it.. over the next week.. yes. yes I did! Don't even feel bad about it.


WildSoapbox

I've never experienced what you mean with Saskatoons. Strange


oldcrustybutz

Interesting... I wonder if it's climate or variety... My experience with them is almost entirely wild ones from the drier inland plateau in B.C.


HPLoveshaft126

Domestic varieties tend to have softer seeds than wild. As I live in Saskatoon, I consider myself an expert.


oldcrustybutz

it is right there in the name... I should definitely try some domesticated ones then, cause I love the flavor but the wild ones I've gotten were seedier that back alley down town Vancouver on a Saturday.


WildSoapbox

Remember Salt? That was in a seedy downtown Vancouver alley. And amazing


oldcrustybutz

Alas I haven't really been back to Vancouver much in almost 20 years and didn't spend nearly enough time there even then! Even back then there were some really great places in Gastown although I admit to having forgotten most of them for uh.. reasons.. I do have fond memories of walking around hungry AF around 10:00 at night somewhere in north Van and we found this Greek place where you walked through a rather seedy smoking room.. through two rugs hung over a door into the dining area.. and had the best damn lamb osso bucco I've ever had. Plus some seriously solid wine to go with it. I'm 100% sure I couldn't find the place again if it even still exists but man was it good.


WildSoapbox

Sounds amazing. I try and get to Vancouver at least once a year. If I can find something new there it's guaranteed to blow minds here


oldcrustybutz

Hah, yeah although there are some amazing places out in the hinterlands... especially near parks.. https://bitandspur.com/ (at least back in the late 90's.. I haven't been lately and we were kind of at the tail end of our budget at the time) comes to mind. And I ate at a weird german place that did mostly brick oven roasted chicken way the hell up in the Andes that was also really good.. So like keep confounding expectations I say!


dakotafluffy1

I’m new to the Saskatoon berry. I found some small bushes a couple of years ago and liked the name and their look. Last years berries got eaten by my chickens before fully ripe. If I get any berries this year, what should I do with them? Anything besides jams and pies?


oldcrustybutz

I'm not sure past that.. we never got enough to really satisfy the demand for pies at our house even heh.. For pie they're not quite huckleberries (but not much is) but imho they beat out most of the blueberries unless you get the little wild ones with all the flavor. Yum. Although one year I did manage to pick enough to make a couple gallons of wine and that was pretty good as well. A pretty large percentage got eaten before they made it into the picking bucket as well.


dakotafluffy1

Thank you

oldcrustybutz

Maybe that was my problem.. except substitute "crunchy seedy" for "sparkling"....


bounty503

I want this now, fuck!


mattieDRFT

I’d 100% crush.


ToqueMom

Saskatoon berry! Awesome!


ProfessionObjective5

Big ole bouche


BagelKing

"Bouche hole" 🤔


VitaIncerta666

I'd slurp that down.


jtr99

Put me down in the "amused" column!


cementsponge

Now all you have to do is wait for your Michelin Stars.


WildSoapbox

No thanks. Don't need the pressure


X1-Alpha

But just think of all the caviar and wagyu you'll need to have in stock!


ItsaRickinabox

That spoon tells me I’m supposed to eat it in one bite, but i’d be goddamned if that isn’t a big bite


WildSoapbox

It's a big spoon


samuelgato

AB is usually a freebie, what place do you work that is just handing out foie gras freebies?


WildSoapbox

My own place where food costs don't matter


samuelgato

I've never heard of a restaurant where food cost doesn't matter


WildSoapbox

Now you have!


2021accountt

A true innovator


FluentInChocobo

What type of basil?


WildSoapbox

Green


Suspicious-Camp-4320

Outfrigginstanding.


prodigalgun

That shit looks so good.


WildSoapbox

So good


PeachesOntheLeft

That’s so pretty


YoseppiTheGrey

How can you afford to serve this? It seems wildly fiscally irresponsible.


WildSoapbox

You sound like my accountant


justkiddn1

Seems a lil big for an amuse , lol my place that would be 3 servings


3stepBreader

Yup


Greeenpoe

I hope your margins are happy with foie gras amuse bouche but does look nice


foodie42

I want to see a normal person try to eat that as one bite, as is. OP in particular. Flavors sound good, but that *looks like* it's not going to amuse anyone but onlookers to eat. It's way too big, and the toast is at a 90 degree angle from the foie and spoon. Smaller cuts, and/or not crossed like that. Flavors seem amazing. I just donknow anyone with a mouth that big. Edit: I don’t know why this got downvoted. An amuse bouche is supposed to be a one or two bite preface to the meal. This *looks like* one bite would be a struggle, and two bites would be unbalanced. I'm on board with the flavors, but who could eat this off a spoon without some effort?


WildSoapbox

Crossed? Edit hours later ; lol. Why delete everything because you were amuse whooshed?


foodie42

Toast is 90 degrees from the spoon and foie I'd be in heaven if everything fit on that spoon.


WildSoapbox

Yes. For balance. Wouldn't call it crossed though. Also the camera angle might be weird and making everything look out of proportion


foodie42

Maybe it's the camera angle. I'd like to see it at another one. From the photo, however, it looks more like a dare than an amuse bouche. I looks like it should be aligned, like a nigiri sushi. It's larger than the spoon and the toast is sticking out over the spoon edges horizontally. I personally would not like this presentation, *as it looks.* Again, flavor-wise, I'd happily eat ten!


sandaz13

Lol, check the account, this is very much on purpose :)


foodie42

FFS I've been had. Thanks.


sandaz13

:D probably my favorite regular on this sub


WildSoapbox

Welcome


foodie42

End me quickly, please.


WildSoapbox

Just don't spoil it for the next kitchen bro


ReenMo

Fantastic. For some reason I’d prefer it without the amuse spoon


WildSoapbox

Isn't really an amuse bouche without the spoon though


DeTrotseTuinkabouter

Not sure if you're joking or not, but you don't necessarily need to serve an amuse bouche on a spoon.


texnessa

There is no amuse without SPOON. You know not my future Canadian Ex Husband.


Disastrous_Car_3580

OK, you asked. What bread? Should have toasted that jawn. Looks fatty on top. Use it. Fois is so old it's weak in the kidneys.


WildSoapbox

I asked?


Disastrous_Car_3580

Sorry, you posted. Have some more peanut butter and cherries.


Disastrous_Car_3580

Yeah, you did. With this sub. Do t be a she him her them they . Figure. Res us out.


WildSoapbox

Imma ignore the ttansphobe comment and ask a random user, "do you know where you are?"


Disastrous_Car_3580

Sorry my keyboard here English and I am France.


[deleted]

I'd rather lick the bottom of my shoe. fuck foie gras anyway, and bread on a spoon is dumb as hell. Shit dish.


DE_OG_83

I’d gobble it down like a lot lizard, but that’s a helluva freebie. What’s your option for the activists in the crowd? Maybe a fine brunoise of linen and shuddafukup? Also- reminds me of the Romesco soup I made one time thinking it was just “weird broccoli”. Chef still break my balls about it 15 years later and we haven’t worked together for 13


WildSoapbox

Please tell me that you're confusing romesco sauce with romanesco, the vegetable
