3 Days Not Wasted
Ooops! Ran out of demi-glace. Time to make a new batch.
Well this going to be 3 days I won’t get back.
However…
Demi-glace itself is mighty unimpressive.
It is a foundational ingredient in many sauces and dishes, and without it, a lot of French cooking would be the poorer for it.
The French have a saying “The British do not have a cuisine, they have a sauce.” And my response is always “Yes, it’s French, it’s really good, and it really is the only one you frogs have got that was worth stealing.”
All cultural sniping aside, like marketing, start-ups, business development, software development, engineering, and a hundred other creative efforts, there are foundation ingredients that by themselves are unimpressive, but they form the base to amazing end products.
