Foam thread

[Bob NC]

Can someone please point me in the direction of the "foam on food" thread that was around a week or so ago?

Can't find it via search.

We were in Disney a week ago, and a friend at our table ordered the ravioli and it came with a Parmesan foam, and looked disgusting. The looks on the faces of those around who ordered it was priceless when the dish was brought to the table. We were at Cali Grill and I never have seen a thread on the subject.

But how did it taste? I have had foams that were transcendant. Parmasean. Foie Gras. Porcini. Don't knock it 'til you try it.

I mean, the name of it doesn't sound very "food" like however, you get foam on top of your latte, and that tastes just fine! Like pp said, don't knock it till you try it!

Here is my review from the foam on the raviolis at Cali Grill last month...and it was to die for!


These are artichoke and Pleasant Ridge Reserve Cheese Raviolis with spinach, black garlic and parmesan foam. So my dish arrives and looks like soap I try a bit of the foam and it is the most blow your mind out of bounds taste of parm cheese you will ever have in your life. There were 4 raviolis and they were filled with artichoke and cheese and there were 4 baby grilled artichokes that were so delish and the black garlic was intense and wonderful. I could eat this every single day! Even Todd was in love with the dish and said that Ryan picked right again.

I have never heard of foam on food before! I thought the title was a joke until I started reading and saw the photo. The things you learn on DIS.

I believe the foam on food thread was on the community board. There were some pictures of pretty disgusting looking food!

Oh no, not Marcel. I didn't like his attitude, but now I realize he was onto something with the foam! At Yachtsman, the spring onion foam with soft shell crab was delicious!

When I saw the title of this thread, that's who I immediately thought of. If I remember correctly, Marcel's foam became a kind of joke among the judges pretty quickly.

I haven't tried any food foam, but it looks unappetizing, like some kind of 2nd grade science experiment.

I totally remember that thread and thought it was entitled, "Please no more foam" or something. I am not able to locate it with the search feature.
