  1. I hate that it’s sitting on top of a bunch of peppercorns, they will all be wasted, and that really bothers me. The lump looks incredibly unappealing, like pink slime or a raw chicken breast. Overall the dish looks like a cursed taco salad.

  2. The tart itself is pretty, but it feels like the minute I crack the pastry shell, I’m going to lose half of it into the bottom of what appears to be a plant pot full of rabbit droppings. Plus when I hold a knife and fork I don’t expect to be using them at an angle because my meal is sunk into a pot. It’s pretty, just get it out of the pot

  3. If it’s a one bite size portion then I’d be happy but if I had to use knife and fork it prob be annoying to eat.

  4. Looks good, but you’re essentially forcing your customer to eat the dish with their hands like a cupcake, since as soon as they hit that with a spoon/fork it’ll mix with the peppercorns and be inedible.

    I’d also say that your parfait could do with being thicker. It looks very soft, like warm ice cream. Would be nice to see it firmer and more like a smooth dense texture.

  5. Okay, I love this idea! As someone who has served canapés off river rocks, dried hay, dried beans, ect, I like serving off of the peppercorns. I’m also reasonably sure that this is designed to be eated in one bite, with your fingers.

    My only suggestion would be to pipe the chicken liver into the shell instead of a quenelle so that it fits the shape better, amd you can still do your cute little herbies around the edge, just clean it up some. If you wanted to still show an additional technique, quenelle something small on top.

  6. People commenting on this dish are being incredibly mean. It’s beautiful. Depending on its size I tend to agree with some of the comments but if this is in fact a one bite affair then I’m totally into it. It does seem like a bit of a waste of pepper but then so is the pepper shakers in most restaurants (old crap that doesn’t taste like much anymore)

    Needs a different plating. Cute snack tho. Sounds delicious. Just a different approach to serving would be beneficial.

    The tart looks gorgeous, I’d get tremendous joy in cracking it with my fork and enjoying the crisp shell with the smooth freshly plated together parfait, bitey chutney and bright herbs. So therefore probably not keen on the peppercorns getting in the way, nor keen on the big chonks of buckwheat on top? Nor would I like picking it up with my hands as others suggested.
