Palate Cleanser
Use a cold, mildly tart palate cleanser between rich courses to break up the meal and reset the palate.
1 / 1
“palate cleansers are usually cold and not too strong in any direction, a little bit tart often. So something cold and tart to break up a meal where you've gone from one kind of rich course and you're about to have another rich course because it's a fancy restaurant.”
