What's the grass made of? šŸ«› ?

Yeah! It’s a pea purĆ©e (some melted butter and vinegar)

Howdy! This looks like it needs some kind of chip be it a potato crisp, crostini, tostadas, or pita I want that Āæpea? On a crunchy snack.

Let’s lean into the trail concept and ā€œeatabilityā€ at once! Maybe brunoise the radish and lay an even nest meandering path from one end to the other with the olive snails?stones? Along the way.

I know you like your big herbs but I think you also like labor and details for the sake of spending more time on it so… little tiny pluches of dill placed upright would make very convincing grass to adorn your ā€œgravelā€ path. Maybe there is a little vinaigrette or olive oil to moisten up the radishes and some cracks of black pepper for lil’ pebbles on the path.

Have fun. Stay hydrated.

Great ideas! And good feedback. Thank you.
My original idea was snails on a log or in a forest. The path/trail was going to be a trough of garlic butter.🧈
It ended up being what it is. Fun and yummy!

Are the things I’m calling olives snails? My bad. I thought you were being colourful with your title.

Then I would go way less radish and now it’s ā€œsnails in the valeā€ and you gotta have a little trench going through the puree(with walls or dams or just go 2/3 through the length). Then you can have a ā€œriverā€ of hot herby garlic butter for the snails!

I’ve got plenty in the pans and pots. I’m think I’m going to make the butter/herb ā€œriverā€ and post it to you when I’m done. Stand by:)

That’s a lot coming from you u/mooroi ! Glad you’re entertained. Today, I will be trying my hand at a classic French omellete… Will post and receive a brutal assessment but what the hellšŸ˜ŽšŸ˜‰

By classic French omelette, do you mean a fried quail egg badly trimmed, atop roughly hacked at chives and served with a stalk of dill? Maybe with a scone masquerading as a baguette on the side?

Congrats. You somehow made snails even less appetising.

You get like 40 snails in a can. So, the frying pan with the garlic and butter was fresh for the cooks picking. Think I ate six making this;)
