Krazy Kruizers Posted November 22, 2009 #1 Share Posted November 22, 2009 We ate several times in the Pinnacle and several times we had a different amuse -- in other words -- not the same one each time. Some of the ones we had: Tuna Tartar Demitasse size bowl: soup of mushrooms Hot Salmon bite with vinegarette Grilled Salmon bite with lobster sauce & shredded carrots and red peppers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mpowered Posted November 22, 2009 #4 Share Posted November 22, 2009 I thought the mushroom soup was going to be bad, but it was really quite delicious. We had it twice. We had another one, too, but I can't remember what it was. I like getting that little 1-2 bite surprise. Joan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IRL_Joanie Posted November 22, 2009 #5 Share Posted November 22, 2009 OK, I admit it, I try to sound like I know everything a lot of times, but this time Krazy Kruizers had me!!:D I had to do a google of Definiton of Amuse in food. And voila: amuse-bouche • \AH-mooz-BOOSH\ • noun : a small complimentary appetizer offered at some restaurants Example Sentence: "Meals start with a complimentary amuse-bouche and basket of bread with a ramekin of herb butter." (Linda Bladholm, The Miami Herald, November 30, 2006) Did you know? In French, "amuse bouche" means literally "it amuses the mouth." The French were using "amuse-bouche" as a word for appetizers when English speakers embraced the culinary term almost a quarter of a century ago. The French are more likely to use their term "amuse-gueule" for those tasty tidbits, however; and in English "amuse-bouche" has a special meaning. It's not just any appetizer! Typically, it's a tiny complimentary one that seems to have taxed the creative powers of the chef to the utmost for the amusement of the diners (e.g., a tiny beet-puree-filled taco; a tiny square of halibut-and-salmon cake; fig molasses on a tiny cube of goat cheese). So there we have it. Thank you Yonnie!! You have once again educated me!!:D Joanie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
