If I ever have enough money to eat overpriced food, I'd like to do so without looking like a literal retard.

What's the technique to eating this?

grab a bit of the frozen mousse, drag it through different sauces, scrape off a bit of the set custard, do what you want. the whole point is that it's so abstract no one has comfortable expectations. modern restaurants really like challenging and stimulating the diner beyond their comfort zone.

What determines this? The US is a pretty big country, and a pretty wealthy one. Your pic is of a signature dessert from what's considered one of the top restaurants in the country. So of course it ain't gonna be cheap.

My guess this kind of thing triggers poorfags because it seems like excess. Which is exactly what it is. How the fuck else are you supposed to cap off a 20 course tasting menu if not with a grand flourish?

As for OP, who cares. Don't go to such pretentious places. The whole thing is an ego trip for the chef and the pedantic fucks who work there.

i think i'd start by tasting tiny bits of everything first to see what it all is because fuck if i know

if it's a really nice place, taste with utensils.

if it's a more laid back atmosphere or someplace that presents itself as more playful, especially if i'm there with friends or family (and not like a professional acquaintance), taste with fingers

then start combining textures/flavors, experimenting, and enjoying the dish.

obviously whatever silverware they give you is a big clue-in as to what they want you to do. if you get that tabletop of goodies and a single spoon, i don't think you're going to be judged for using your finger to nudge a couple of those berries onto it.. you know?

never had anything like this though, that's just how i'd approach it. looks fun!

Anything with actual merit doesn't have to rely on gimmicks
>b-but that doesn't apply to [subject]

Perhaps /ck/ finds the idea of buying overpriced praline from a restaurant that crushes them up and draws on your table with jam retarded because you could have instead bought praline from an actual confectioner and skipped the bit where you think faux-art with no meaning makes the dining experience where you eat off the table like a toddler more 'unique'.

Or maybe, just maybe, someone finds it annoying that 'fine dining' is being transformed from dignified affairs into gaudy shitshows in order to appeal to yuppies who can't be bothered or are too intimidated to learn the etiquette to eat at a real fine restaurant, nor have the discernment to know the quality anyway.

And considering /ck/ is about 2/3 can't-cook barely-adults, I fully expect endless arguments along the line of "you're just upset you can't afford to spend $200 on [blank]". Because that's all modern 'fine dining' is in the end. Not 'You would not believe this fantastic mousse I had' but 'You won't believe how much I spent on this mousse'

i see where you're coming from but i don't agree

fine dining in a traditional sense is still very much alive -- i don't think it could ever die out.

we're just living in an age where people want to get experimental with everything, and what's easier to experiment with than food and the dining experience?

people want to push boundaries and try new things so it only makes sense that this is one of the directions food, cooking, and eating would go. this kind of dining also incorporates, to varying degrees, a more scientific aspect and entertainment.

the entertainment part of things has been done to death (look at shit like medieval times, japanese restaurants with teppanyaki tables) so they're looking for something a little different. spread shit out on your customers' tables and see what they do with it. put an artistic element into it (obviously you can disagree with whether or not this can be considered art).

i guess the bottom line is that i believe this should just be considered another genre of dining. i wouldn't lump this into fine dining (though with the price tag i'm sure that many people do). it's like trying to compare the godfather to the rocky horror picture show. one you sit and watch -- the other you show up to with rice and water pistols and go crazy

i guess

i think both are pretty cool

but..

it's not that the frivolity and experimentation is new, it's that it's taking different forms because of the tools we have at our disposal. it's also something that's not limited to great banquet halls anymore; any aspiring entrepreneur can open their own weird ass gimmicky restaurant. so overall, really, it's way more accessible.

you seem really hung up on the rich/poor judging thing though and i don't really know what to say to that. are you using that as an argument against this style of dining? for it? for or against the posts that are criticizing or praising it?

why does this style of dining and actual fine dining have to be mutually exclusive? why can't both exist?

Nobody literally baked live birds into food to watch them fly out. Try it yourself. Birds aren't in the mood for moving very much at all after being baked alive.

Blackbirds were baked upside down into pies with their feet sticking out of the pastry because, by all reports, it was delicious.

people don't expect to pay enough for mexican food, some of the food costs for mexican ingredients and labour would be high as fuck if quality standards were on par with other cuisines. imagine getting a fucking courgette flower quesadilla for a pittance outside of mexico or corsica or whatever. can't be done.

Just say squash blossom if you're going to gringo it up, or preferably flor de calabaza if you're going use it in a sentence with "quesadilla".

Never, ever ever say "courgette" in the context of Mexican food, ever again. Fuck.

I hate it when I pick up something at the store and I notice the label says "product of Israel" and I have to put it back. Seems like it's getting more common, I guess they've stolen enough land now that they're a major exporter of all kinds of foods.

It doesn't sound fucked to you because you're fucking english. Mexico is not next to england, nobody says "courgette" there, either in english or in spanish. You sound like the kind of guy who would walk into sanborns and ask for a mantequilla de totopos.

Just stop.

not the guy you're replying to, but crying bastardization over componential hybridization of different languages is kind of a tired old joke that nobody really cares about.

hold on here. you're saying that complaining about putting whole words together from different languages is so different that putting morphemes together from different languages that they constitute entirely separate arguments? all you've done is call me illiterate and provided no reasonable critique. i'm not even into trolling anymore, i'm curious if you think this is true.

this right here
courgette (french) flower (english) quesadilla (spanish) = language atrocity
i don't even know what your position is here. are you the one claiming language atrocity? if so, on what grounds? i assumed hybridization because i honestly don't know what else you would find incorrect about this.

>british english translation of a mexican spanish word instead of american english
This is the language atrocity. Few people who speak english will know what the fuck a "courgette" is in mexico, it just sounds wrong. Most people will use the translation "squash" because they are used to talking to americans.

You jumped the gun because you're proud of your blog post. Good job on the blog post, 10/10 well memed, now you can tell us how lobster is a chemical and water is for prisoners.

dude i'm canadian and we're not in mexico, we're on an english language image board

and that's not my blog post, that's the first google hit for "language hybrid wrong"

idk if the graph is xkcd or not, i couldnt find the original source but i am a paint master so i made my own

i am glad you've provided a positive position, because i am NOT going to argue with a pedant who knows even less about linguistics than i gave him credit for
