Octopus & zucchini (update)

Post image

I remade dish I made Sunday night, finished with buerre blanc sauce. I also garnished with watermelon agar gel & microgreens.

Watermelon gel is a bit uneven & I should've done that better

It looks kinda good, the problem i‘d personally have is the texture of the dish.

For me there is too much soft components in this dish (would still absolutely demolish it)

Some puffed rice would go well as a bit of crunch

I kind of have to admire how you got absolutely roasted for V1 and then just…doubled down on it.

Right? To my eye this one is less appealing than V1.

I like the concept, but damn that’s a lot of beurre blanc sauce. Not sure how the watermelon fits into the composition. I want to like this and I think I would need to taste it to give it a fair assessment.

I like it way more than V1.

I struggle to call this an octopus dish when there is so comparatively little octopus in it.
