Followed by a two month nap. Decadent as hell.

Looks classy as the Waldorf Astoria. What is the creamy shell around the chicken?

Chicken mousse.

 

[indesertum]

woah how'd you make the mousse?

 

[itsstillmatt]

Is that plated on a serving platter?

I processed some of the breast trimmings with salt, white pepper, and a little polyphosphate. Then blended in some chicken stock, then creme fraiche, and passed through a tamis. Finished with minced truffles and a drop of truffle oil.

truffle oil.

 

[mgm9128]



In very small quantities, it can be used well.

 

[ehkay]

No. It's vulgar. Always. It should never be used.

Tell that to God.

He has some queer affections. And he uses too much salt.

 

[mgm9128]

I really don't see the harm in using what was literally a drop of the stuff. I used real truffles, as well, if that will make you sleep any better.

 

[ehkay]

it gave me the willies.
