Quotes
"Noma was and continues to be a pioneer in Nordic cuisine. It's a restaurant that's unlike any place I've ever visited. And their care and thoughtfulness with ingredients is what really sets them apart."
"It's a whirlwind of dishes that feature local ingredients in new and unexpected ways. And that didn't stop with desserts, where you'll be eating pine cones and soaking up chocolate with flowers."
"You get beautiful dishes made with and served on sunflowers. But then you also get some that are a bit brutal, like this bird that looks like it was shot and carved open right here on the plate, this bird that we just got was nuts."
"We have this flower inside of this chocolate sauce that we're supposed to swirl, soak up the sauce and then just suck the flower, not bite into it, just suck it. Oh, the chocolate is beautiful. Getting it from the flower, you get a lot of those floral notes, really light, but contrasted with the richness of the chocolate."
"Sure, some of them might be simple and delicious, like this wild boar belly with an apple on the side. But others are weirder, like an omelette made with reindeer brain. Yeah, it's actually a brain, but it's inside of an omelette. It's really smooth, really savory. The spice comes in nicely. The foam is really nice complement to it."
"So we had a reindeer brain, we had reindeer tongue. And now we finally have the rest of the reindeer. We have the main piece of reindeer meat and we have a little bit of reindeer fat that we pair with that meat. I mean, there we go. I feel like the other ones have their own distinct flavors and textures. That is meat. That is game. That is reindeer. That is what I came here for. Beautiful."
"This bird that we just got was nuts. It's called Teal and it was hunted wild. So they warned us that it might contain shots or like bullets or pellets inside of the meat. So we got to be careful. No pellets in this one. Oh, it's a beautiful, delicate bird. It's gamey, but not super gamey. It's really, really tender. That is a delicious bird."
