Looks like some parsley in a glass of hot water with an air dried sausage to stir it with. :eh:

Raw egg yoke probs.

Fungus tartare innit? :D

Edit: from their website....

Egg perfectly cooked in front of you, aromas of truffles and wild mushrooms, black bread sticks (the egg is cooked when the flame goes out)

Won't be raw for long with the burner under. Poached egg with fungus and an old sausage?

Mushroom and herbs with a raw egg over the top that is cooked from underneath in front of you. The juices of the mushrooms poach the egg, black bread soldiers for dippy!

Had a pasty pastry failure. Not sure what went wrong, made it exactly the same as previous batches. It wouldn't stay together, I suspect not enough water.
Ended up with pasty's that look like a Klingon's forehead.
Had enough gubbins for 9 or 10. First 4 were fine, next three were not. Got the arse with it, so the remaining veg & pastry went in the trash & the meat went in the dog.

Bugger.
