The sauce . . . Yup Alexander the Guest would have spat out his drink of Krug if he saw that. But seriously I don't think he understands French cuisine. It is all about perfecting the sauce and harmonizing it with the protein. What he did was like taking a piece of nigiri and picking up the fish without the rice. I do appreciate him trying stuff out of his wheelhouse. If he is still doing these videos years from now, his experience and palette will surely evolve.

FYI, the salmon spread is called salmon rillette... Poached salmon with lemon, herbs, usually butter/sour cream/ mayonnaise or some combination thereof. Basically a better version of butter that you spread on bread as a canape.

@SeraphimLeo

2 ай бұрын

UA was served a weird one though, since rillette is a medieval way of preserving meat by coating it in butter, not sure I would want a rillette to be made with mayonnaise. Due to its own overpowering flavor it's hard to elevate mayonnaise in the same way that butter can be elevated. Dishes that are heavy on mayonnaise rarely tend to be more than the sum of their parts whereas herb butters can be fantastically complex. So I can understand why UA was underwhelmed by salmon in mayonnaise.

You did a fabulous job reviewing especially keeping your head down for the no video or photography rule which makes sense .
