An Asian female pâtissière comes out pushing an ice cream trolley, and offers us a pre-dessert of lemon sorbet, lemon espuma, lemon granité, and lemon zest. W-T-F. I know it’s made from lemon and I should expect some acidity, but the espuma was so fucking sour that I was wincing uncontrollably. I don’t remember having tasted anything so sour… and this put Sour Patch Kids to shame.
Cedric Grolet is in charge of patisserie of le Meurice, so expect it acid. Not the same dessert, but similar to the lime dessert I had.
