We were de-lighted, as in our faces lit up when we saw the salad arrive at Restaurant Den Antigoon on Oudevaartsplaats, by the Vogelenmarkt.
It was a TOWER constructed of a cucumber wall, filled with salad dressed with salad cream, topped with lardons or some smokey porkey things, topped with a crouton, which supported a thick but melting goat cheese round, baked? with honey and topped with crisp apple slices set off with parsley, and buffeted by tomatoes.
We had to try it, even if
1. Carel doesn't (sob) eat meat
and
2. it is impossible to just eat... it has to be de-constructed {Fred has ideas for this),
and
3. there were things we just could not figure out. Like,how did they get the cucumber to hold itself in a circle without toothpicks um,
Zahnstocher)?
