It’s “whale”
Just kidding. This is the part of the meal that’s pure fiction. So much so, it’s layered: my partner, who joined me in this experience, did a blind taste-test when he was young and was told that he was eating whale when really it was venison. Now flash-forward to this meal; he happened to leave the room for a moment when the rest of the diners were told that because whale is extremely illegal, Persh re-imagined the concept of that unattainable dream of a catch and what it could taste like. This course concept was brought to life with an exquisite A5 Kobe Wagyu… that I didn’t tell my husband was beef until after he had it, the reaction to which was priceless for everyone present.
