BARBEQUED RUMP CAP WITH FRIED POLENTA AND PUY LENTILS

Nothing restrained, delicate or nouvelle about this. Rump cap has a blunt, unsubtle manliness about it. Two simple syllables, each terminated by a p which sounds disdainful, distasteful, dismissive.

Lentils are French peasant food. Polenta is northern Italian peasant food.

There was a microherb salad off camera. To include it in the photo would have compromised the brutal lowliness of the other ingredients. So too the roast garlic aïoli (although this too might pass for peasant food).
