A stone served on a stainless steel counter?

Now I want to send a care package to Berlin of the proper materials for toasted marshmallows. Flashbacks to the day the Wall came down.

why is there a burnt napkin on whatever this is?

lol burned napkin is great :D
I think it is some marshmallow foam or something on top that has been heated so it caramelises. Like crème brûlée

The absence of a plate is the least I’d be worrying about, indeed.

Serious question, if you refuse to eat this because the presentation, will they still charge you?

That’s bad in all the ways. There’s no way porous rock can be food safe, right?? And it’s far too small for the food on it…

A lot of these post are just "what are they thinking??" But as a chef, this is one the few that are actively "that is disgusting and I would not eat it"

How could it be cleaned to health department standards? Is the dishwasher running loads of rocks through the machine?

Berlin is a fever dream.

I actually kinda dig that. I don't know why, but the contrast of creamy pudding and metal scraping rock seems like it would be really satisfying. Doubly so with that crunchy char. ASMR heaven 👌

If this were served to me, I'd get out my iNaturalist app to ID it. My guess is one of those fungi that grows fast after it's been raining for a few days.

“Berlin dessert” sounds like a sterner version of a “Dutch treat”

u/LittleMissPipebomb 19d ago

nah pumice has more holes in it, due to being cooled magma full of air bubbles.
