Browned butter with bread
Bread
On a visit to Ottawa one September, I left the hotel to go to dinner. Summer warm, the restaurants had thrown open their windows and doors and the patios were suddenly full. The Whalesbone was/is renowned for its oysters and other seafood. It lived up to its rep, but it is the butter and bread I remember most. Crusty, barely warm and aromatic, the bread was served with what looked like ordinary butter. Turns out it has been browned and then reconstituted. The notes of nut and caramel in the butter on that bread: the first, drugging kiss in a promising relationship.
