Soya Lecithin?
trev_teich
So I'm adding sounds of the sea as a course for a home dinner. It's asking for soya lecithin? What is the difference between soya and soy, and if anyone has any tips on holding components or execution I'm all ears.

Nope, but you will want de-oiled soy lecithin for preparing the surf foam. Good luck.

Thank you sir!

You're welcome. Let me know how it goes with your recreation.

It's been a while, but IIRC it is seafood down first, in a line. Seafood used varies—abalone, clam, uni, and ankimoe were used in the early days. Then garnish along the line seafood—samphire and yurri-ne (lily root) were typical. Edible sand (N-Zorbit, miso paste, dried and ground baby-eel) down in parallel with the line of seafood. Surf foam over the whole thing. Serve with a conch shell that has headphones.
Ingredients may have changed since the very early version I recall. The Big Fat Duck Cookbook should have these details.

I'm curious, is the recipe a British or European recipe? I thought Soya and Soy were the same but Soya was British spelling. I could be totally wrong.

Yea, that's the first question I asked at the top of the page.

The dish is a famous one at Heston Blumenthal's Fat Duck restaurant. So it's a British dish. Except it's not. The dish was developed at The Fat Duck Experimental Kitchen by two Americans, one Icelander, and a Venezuelan in 2006.

I'm guessing you are the Venezuelan.

How many iterations did that dish go through before it hit a diners table?
Chris_Young_80640
Nope, I'm one of the two Americans. Otto was the Venezuelan (he's still at The Fat Duck). That dish probably went through about 6 months of development. Like at Fat Duck dishes, it continues to evolve and is substantially different today than when first put on the menu.

hehI was just joking. I know you are not venezuelan,

Also this is the only time I have ever seen any recipe call for table salt. Why?
