They are served on stones but the things with the blackberries on them are profiteroles.

Is this at that Mugaritz place? They’re known for their “edible stones”, which is essentially potatoes covered in this substance that when you bite into it, it crunches. They actually start off your meal by saying “you’ll probably hate some of the dishes here” lol. They’re a purely performative restaurant that emphasizes gastronomy and conceptual eating or whatever the fuck they call it.

Some chef de cuisine was absolutely fucken wrecked with the homies and was like “Yo, check this out, I bet you fucks 20 that I could get some rich asshole to lick a fucking rock!” and everyone laughed. lol

I could devour that entire bowl of blackberries and cream cheese on rocks and would still be starving. I’d rather be at home shame eating the entire bag of family size Doritos.

Things with caviar on top of them are obviously not real rocks. I’m sure that they are a foodstuff made to look like rocks. Because food that looks like other things is trendy right now.

Ok, this is going to sound crazy, but, and I swear to fuck, I watched and entire episode of The Food Lab about this one. Caviar is super salty and the stones they use are extremely porous and are soaked in a semi-sweet & salty brine prior to being dried and then plated (the only ones brined are the ones with food on it, all are cleaned though) it does add a unique flavor and the roughness of the stone just ever so slightly dries your tongue as you lick it and makes the surface area of your tongue higher to taste more of the caviar and creme combo. IT IS EXTREMELY PRETENTIOUS. But technically its really SMART, just by conventional standards its “dumb”. I would say it doesn’t fit this subreddit just bc I seen that episode, otherwise, if I didn’t I would absolutely say stupidfood.

caviar changes flavor when eaten off a metal spoon. traditionally a bone spoon is used to circumvent this, but this restaurant looks like they are preserving the flavor by having you eat the caviar off a stone instead to avoid that metallic taste spoons give. kind of silly looking, but there’s a purpose and it’s a novel idea.

Once I was at a wedding and they served cheese covered in chocolate. The chocolate cover had this grayish colour and made the snack look like stones, pretty much like in the picture.

See, one eats 3-4 of these stones after eating too many bones. Then the stones help break down bits of bone in their stomach. Once the bones are broken down and safely digestible, then you regurgitate the stones back out for next time… It’s the Stones & Bones diet, all the most beautiful famous people are doing it. s/

El Buli had those, but would not identify which was which in the bowl (no caviar topping) and served with dried shrimp as almost a bar snack. They warned that there were real stones in there.
Mostly just theatrics as the clay doesn’t add anything in most preps.
