Wow! I just saw one of these for the first time in our local market today. My first thought was somewhere between, “that’s something Fed Flintstone would eat!” and “that’s too much!”. I fell better seeing it sliced and divided up… A meal for 4?

Great preparation, including the roasted asparagus!

Well I WAS going for pretentious, but I agree “recomposée” may work better… but it doesn’t SOUND better, I love the sound of “amélioré” (a lovely French word that even my grating Boston accent can’t mess up…too badly…)

Delete?!?!? Maybe just EDIT the offending words away? 😀

All true! - I can’t/won’t defend myself! Mea culpa, mea culpa, mea maxima culpa!
But by way of further explanation, the faux French and intentional pretentiousness was in the context of yet another boring and unimaginative office party centered around bad take-out Chinese food and pizza. Walking around cubicle-land wearing a chef’s jacket, wielding a blowtorch and formally serving these - whatever they should be called - was just part of the fun. 🙂
