Chef’s Note: As I have mentioned before, I am a connoisseur of extraordinary abilities being repurposed to the culinary sphere. This very scholarly project is not just all about eating hotdogs on rooftops.
Here we discover that Taskmaster doesn’t just sit around watching videos of Spider-Man or Black Widow in order to mimic their abilities. Instead we now must also imagine him kicking back on the sofa for who knows how many shows on the Food Channel?
Chef’s Note: What’s on the “gourmet chef” menu here? The radish rose, of course, but what else?
Tomato, crimini mushrooms, sprigs of scallion and then…? I’m going to guess that the reddish slices in the middle are salmon.
But then what of the wedge in the top right? There appears to be a geranium leaf? And perhaps a pomegranate sauce? No real idea as to what the wedge itself might be.
Mr Siu-Chong? Mr. Tam? If either of you would care to illuminate the mystery gourmet ingredient here, we would all be most grateful.
