I'd much rather spend the same amount of money for this dish than I would for a steak. You could have a big premium steak for <$10 if you make it yourself, which is actually really easy to do. You can also get a good steak anywhere. By contrast, this dish is probably one of a kind, and is not very feasible for the majority of us to replicate (although I could be wrong, maybe it is easy to make). If you just think that you wouldn't enjoy this dish as much as a steak, then that's a different story. | ||

But you go to that kind of restaurant, first, to enjoy the sick creativity of the chef (biggest mindfuck was when I went to Pic in France, 3 Michelin stars, they served an asparagus with an Arabica emulsion. At first I was like "wut asparagus with coffee, seriously ?" It was divine). This dish is really innovative, Bavarois is normally served as a desert with a fruit sauce and never made with goat milk. Second, the taste of such a dish lies in the super premium quality of the ingredients. The chef could give you the recipe, if you don't have that super premium olive oil and dairy, and the freshest nuts, it's just gonna taste like a Bavarois with oil, which is probably not enjoyable. | ||

You're just lucky the account "Endymion" was still available when you signed up because I felt it was too long when I registered so I shortened it to "endy". I've always wanted to join culinary school, but in France, you must join right after middle-school and become an apprentice. Now I got a masters degree in computer science and there's nothing I'd like more than opening a restaurant... Please do succeed at culinary school so there'll be at least one endy making it. I wish you the best impostor ! | ||

I may be considered crude by many as when I try wine, I just shove it somewhere in the bad-good spectrum with a few particularities like one wine may have some explainable characteristics like sweetness and whatnot. Same thing with beer, some are more sweet than others and can be distinguished easily. For instance the OP talks about a "slight hint of sourness"... This means something. However when they go on about "instantly distinguishable as a premium", "possessed the fragrance of the freshest oil" "unctuous and refreshing at the same time", "rich nutty taste", "everything made perfect sense", "confidence" (???). -- I mean come on. I can't help to feel this is out of touch with reality and meant to give the writer some kind of "haughty" and "supercilious" stand above everyone else. I figure those people sit around tables covered with plates worth many hundred dollars with tiny glasses of expensive champagne, pinky up, talking about how Di Fara pizza is such a peasant dish, using obscene terms that belong in the 1800's. | ||
