Metrogusto

Thursday, May 21, 2009 - I had to do it, I had to order the most expensive item on the menu. I was glad to have made the choice because the dish was a both a visual treat and an exhilarating whiff. So much rustic quality, and the rising hot steam, just perfect...Fluffy soft meat, so delicate on the chew, I really was confusing this for veal, with a mellow rather than beefy flavour. There was a lovely burst of heat from within the meat, and the parmesan provided most of the depth in flavour while the umami levels were amplified with the mash. A graceful dish, rustic and well cooked, one that I enjoyed.
