"First off, lamb has a very distinct flavor, but it is toned down here. And just as the best fish is the least fishy-tasting, this is a compliment."

Seriously ? This comparison (lamb/fish) isnt correct .

"non-quenelled" is that even a word ? I guess the sentence can be re-written...

In the light of Will's comment it would be interesting to see a laphroaig/ardberg review from Will.....

Hi Brian the toasted pastry cream sounds intriguing ...can we get the recipe by any chance ?

@Pseudolos - You may want to taste the concentrate - there are many kinds of tamarind some sweeter/more sour than the others ...I usually aim for a spicy and constrained sourness but there are folks who like it the other way

@Persimmon - Any kind of rice works (I do like the variety kolam if you can find it) but its usually made with raw rice as texture works out better . The key here is leftover - you want the rice cold/warm and not too hot when you mix else it will be tamarind congee ...

Savory oats as commercial products are available here (India)....All major oatmeal guys do have them prepackaged (steel cut artisanal stuff is yet to reach our shores)
