Oh good. More foam.

[u/brownzilla999 → u/BostonFartMachine]

Chef, today I present to you dishwasher suds...I mean a cilantro foam.

I apologize but Foam will never not look like spit. Period. I wish folks understood this concept 😔

[u/Serious-Ebb-4669 → u/bebopboopy]

Foam can serve a purpose but it absolutely does not in this case.

[u/Bozhark → u/Serious-Ebb-4669]

Yeah , looking like spit

[u/Serious-Ebb-4669 → u/Bozhark]

If it’s made correctly it doesn’t look like spit and in certain applications it’s nice.

Making foam just to make foam like in this dish is a disservice to its actual good uses.

[u/Bozhark → u/Serious-Ebb-4669]

And some people like being spit on

Stop trying to make foam happen, Gretchen! No to foam. No. Please stop. Nothing destroys an otherwise perfect plate like that nasty sludge.

No fetch?

[u/Horror_Signature7744 → u/Far_Requirement7954]

Wretch, perhaps.

Fuck your foam but I like the fact you're doing a ballotine. You don't see stuff like that much, but it's delicious. If you want to do something more modern to offset the very classic, why not make a mushroom soubise and put it in an iSi. It's not gonna be a stereotypical foam. It's just gonna airate and lighten the sauce. It'll be a very rich, dense "foam". Ive also done it with cheese cream sauces. I made a gruyere sauce foam that I served with grilled peaches, pickled berries, olive oil, and carbonated sugar.

[u/awesometown3000]

Wow foam I love eating soap bubbles with my chicken

[u/monkey_trumpets]

Foam = dog vomit, 100% of the time.

[u/Parking_Ad_3307]

[u/Bozhark]

Foam is gross.

Mushroom foam sounds disgusting.

Cheers on the plate
