it means to spread the meat of the sardine out wide after de-boning it.. it means the same for doing that to any kind of animal

>>7252364

>more peanutbutter/jelly foie gras grapes

>flay
You mean fry, right?
Sardines are pretty oily, I wouldn't fry them to be honest.

>>7252370
Filet?

loll.. no. the filets are still attached to the rest of the fish, but they are flayed out to each side after being de-boned while leaving the head/tail attached

>carabineros shrimp
>milk poached white asparagus
>lemon juice/olive oil/salt compressed fennel
>micro cilantro
>uni aioli (we had uni that was about to go bad that needed to be used)
>crackerz

the pic is of the tester plate that everybody tried before service. the actual plates we sold had 2 shrimp and way more broth. imo, it was a perfect dish.

>>7252387
Not a term I was familiar with.
What country?

>>7252392

'merica?

flayed: verb (used with object)
1.
to strip off the skin or outer covering of.

"Or you can mount a flayed rabbit to hang in your living room while a chef turns its innards into a nose-to-tail feast"

>these people who've never heard "flay" before

Do you not punish your subordinates?

>>7252392
Flay is a term I'm familiar with - UK here. I thought it was quite a common term everywhere though.

>>7252401
I thought it mean't to remove the skin?

Always appreciate these threads.

>>7252361
This octopus portion seems incredibly mean though. I know you guys do tasting menus, it just looks a bit lost.

>>7252404

i guess technically? i feel like it's also appropriate for splaying the skin/flesh of an animal outward after gutting/boning it

>>7252406

what do you mean by "mean"? lost as in how?

the flavors work well together, although the nage sort of overpowers the octopuses subtle flavor. it tastes good, but like i said, the octopus kinda gets lost a little bit

Mean as in a small amount, lost as in what you said, like it would be overpowered by the other elements, partially because of the amount.

word.. that was the first plating/conceptualization of that dish and i think it was just sold on special that night.

pic related is what we've ben selling for the 1st course of the tasting menu. it's much more concise and the supporting ingredients have been scaled down

>>7252347
Nice knife
I own the same one

>>7252463

it's my first weeb knife.. it's easy to put a sharp edge on but it goes dull so quickly. high maintenance knife compared to german steel variations

>>7252462
That looks fucking great. Do those leaves really taste like oysters or is it just memes?

>>7252485
Wait, I got confused. Those are nasturtiums right?

>>7252364
Don't try to pass this off as something else. That's a eaten grape vine with one grape left and the dust from the bottom of the peanut jar and dust from the end of acracker bag. You're playing the dust of 4 different foods you jack ass. This isn't fancy it's retarded. If people are willing to pay you for this shit then good job, but don't pretend it isn't what I said

And for the 3rd course we have 12 year aged 3d dorito dust paired with a drop of backwash mountain dew livewire

>>7252485
>>7252488

yeah, nasturtiums.. they taste kinda peppery and slightly sharp in a bitter way.

>>7252490

>implying you wouldn't eat dust 4 ways if i told you it was good

>>7252497

>implying i wouldn't love to eat that

>>7252404
>>7252416

"flay" does mean to remove the skin - the anon here is simply wrong.
He either meant to use the word "splay" (probably) or you can use the term butterfly.

You shouldn't be feeding scallions to your dog.

>>7252535
chives ;)

>>7252522

OP here.. you're right. i used the word flay in the wrong way, and what i meant was definitely splay.

oh well

>>7252561
No worries, your food looks fucking delicious.

ITT - some faggot has no idea what flay means

>>7252505
No... but if you've convinced someone of your made up skill set I'm not even mad. Sells left over dust and last grape as gourmet. Gg. Gg.

>>7252539
Dogs can't digest onions. Besides the point, that's going to be a fatass dog with cholesterol through the woof.

>>7252584

m8, im not making shit up. the grape is made of foie gras cubes cured overnight in sodium nitrite/salt/sugar/vanilla extract/brandy, and then thrown in the food procesor with peanutbutter and some cream w sugar dissolved in it

then, it's rolled into grape shape, skewered on a skewer, and dipped in the grape gelee multiple times before it's done

>>7252578

i'll flay your mom, m8

>>7252572

and thanks! glad u dig it

I'm interested as hell in these techniques. Great thread, OP

To each his own. I don't see the appeal.

You start with good ingredients, and you get good results. Boring.

Far more impressive to take some pitiful cuts of meat and aging produce and make a delicious meal.

I wonder how well you and your coworkers would do at making a working class meal. I love watching you guys fail at making some biscuits and gravy or something.

K.I.S.S.

Where do u work op?

My favorite part is how light weight it is
