• "Max had made his first verrine (hmmm, I wonder: does verrine come from "verre" + "vitrine"? ... for the idea behind a verrine is to see through the glass (verre) "window" (vitrine) to the colorful layers beyond); this time, Max had composed his verrine with layers of chopped surimi, whipped guacamole, la crême fraîche ... topping off his entrée with salmon mousse and decorative dill!"
