Anecdote
Unlike some people, it's not my habit to photograph everything — or indeed anything — that I eat. I did make an exception when I was in Spain and was served this up as the final course of an 18-course taster menu:
It's a gominola de miel, or honey gummy. Quite why it looks like a cow I've no idea, it didn't taste like cow. Perhaps it was to get people thinking, ending a meal with a conversation-starter.
It peeled right off the plate, so if you were a barbarian oaf you could hold it this way and bite bits off it. I, of course, am not a barbarian oaf, so I put it all in my mouth at once.
It was tasty, anyway, which I suppose is only to be expected of an item on a taster menu.
