That sounds ridiculously good. Way too good for me to appreciate fully.

 

While we're at it, I'd like some help on the following terms:

 

quenelles

yabbies

shondells

concasse

bisque (I know what this is in ceramics, but not in food)

 

Thanks in advance. Cooking is badass, I really should learn it more seriously. Good luck on your finals. Beer,

shallots are basically gourmet onions..

 

small, flavorful, milder than onions..not pungent

they are common ingredients in european food bases (for sauces, soups etc)

 

really delicious, use them in place of onions anywhere..

good in bearnaise sauce (hollandaise for meat)

 

noisette is just a cut of the lamb...i'm guessing super-thin slices??
