What is an Amuse Bouche? Sounds like... a-mooz boosh? Ya? My education on this "thing" comes from a Friends episode years back when Monica makes an amuse bouche for a potential client (I think it was a very high Jon Lubitz?) and when she serves it to Chandler to sample, he says, "It's amoozing". Huh. I guess you had to be there to catch the humor.
Anyway, according to Webster's- An Amuse Bouche is a tiny bite-sized morsel of food traditionally served prior to the first course of a meal. Who really serves these things anyway? Well, I for one have experienced 3 servings at recent meals.
1- Frida in Cabo San Lucas about 6 months ago (some sort of seafood)
2- Lucy in Denver about 3 months ago (can't remember but it was yummy)
3- Level 3 in San Francisco this past weekend (well...)
This is where the question and answer begins...
While at dinner, at Level 3 with a group of 6, we were all surprised by the serving of an "amuse bouche". Here is the fun part... WHAT IS IT??? SEE THE PICTURE.. CAN YOU TELL???
Turd dipped in powder?
Dog food sitting in ketchup?
Rotten Cheeto?
Ok... Times up. It's a date dipped in coconut with some sauce. Interesting...
Anyway, half the table thought it was tasty while the other half thought it was disgusting. I simply thought it was entertaining. Enough to create a blog all its own.
Here's to an amoosing week!
