An Edible Forest Floor Part 4

This blog features Part 4 of the Edible Forest Menu and describes Course 2 and Course 3 of this fantastic menu.

Whilst this may look like dried leaves, it is actually chocolate made “leaves”- totally edible down to the last “leaf”.

As for the twigs, it is fashioned out of dough and you can dip it into the organic butter and eat it. Quite an interesting play of “savoury, buttery tastes with a hinge of sweetness should you decide to chew on the leaves 🙂

The above picture shows how the Pumpernickel malt & organic butter is displayed. Carefully camouflaged against veggies, giving it the aura of discovering a beautiful dip that lies within. The butter is put on top of a chocolate wheel

Course 4 gets more intense as the tree bark shown above with mushrooms, and man made “toadstools”  to create this delightful piece of log, rabbit pate,  foie gras mushroom and smoked beef tartare. All the 3 items are served on the wooden bark of a tree as you can see in picture.

 On the left hand side, it is rabbit pate and in the middle of the tree log, is the foie gras made in a shape of a mushroom. The last of 3 items is a strongly smoked Beef tartare that will only be noticed after you have placed it into your mouth and slowly chewed. You will obtain very strong smoked flavours.  your palate and chewed.

 

The above picture shows how Brioche is stylishly served and how it complements all the 3 items described above.

Light yet sweet tasting,  the Brioche when eaten in succession with the 3 items, lets you savour a very well paired and taste. Truly an excellent eating together!
