Shad Roe dish by Mike and Dirk from Beckta
Can you say "caviar"? Can you say... pop in my mouth and leave me a lemon/lime sour after taste in my mouth. Well by using Australian Limes only recently available in ottawa, now you can!
Mike tried explaning the dish to us. I'm not 100% on how he did this but i'll try to give an idea...
The meatloaf thing on the right of the plate is actually fish eggs still in the sack. From what I understood, he removed the entire fish sac full of eggs and then cooked them sous vide in order to produce this. Funny, it doesn't taste as fishy as you think. It pairs extreamly well with the 5 year old gouda also on the pate. Yes, you heard right, fish and cheese = very good.

At this point we're all happily busting at the gills and suffering from a food coma. So what do they do? They serve us perfectly tempered Sauvagine cheese, seed bread, flourless chocolate walnut cookies, Kraft Dinner ice cream and blue cheese ice cream. The blue cheese ice cream goes well with the cookie so I decided to make a little sandwich out of it. The KD ice cream was ultimate stoner food. Sauvagine cheese was oozing and melty and delicious on some seed bread.

Now it's time for a little cow... as in, a baby cow. Slow cooked veal cheek with fried sweetbreads, served with General Tao sauce, pea shoots, fried Korean noodles, baby bok choy... the sauce was amazing, the cheek required NO KNIFE. If was so tender, it all melted in my mouth. The sweetbreads were so tender and melted in my mouth as well. Simply amazing! By this point in the meal, I'm thinking to myself that the bar has been raised, that dining out in Ottawa will never be the same anymore.

Rubber ducky were are you? I have your balls in my mouth and they taste damn tasty.
Simply but perfectly cooked. Very rich and buttery. The small ones were the best. When you chewed on them, they would explode and send juices spewing all over the inside of your mouth. Yum.
