The start of my root beer sugar bottle

TGRWT #11

Khymos does this they go really well together or(TGRWT) on his blog where he does different flavor combinations and you can either use a recipe that already exists or you can create a new dish. So his new flavor combination was banana and clove. Well I'm always trying to be creative so I decided to try something using some new techniques so I did a banana mousse using agar and anginate caviar using clove. It turned out alright but I would have strained the mousse mixture because the mousse was kind of grainy from the banana, and I also would have changed the mold because it was to "cookie cutter" for me. The clove caviar turned out great wasn't over powering and folded into the mousse had a tapioca texture and a great aromatic aroma. I thought about putting some kind of garnish to add some color but I thought I would just stick to the banana and clove so I garnished with a caramelized banana dusted with ground clove and spun sugar. All in all I thought the flavor combinations worked out well together and of course it tasted great.
