Amuse Girl is a very bad pun on amuse-gueule, a free small dish
sent out by the chef to awaken the diner's palate before a posh
meal. The concept of amuse-gueule is also unfairly perceived as
slightly naughty because gueule is another word for "gob". It's
been hyper-corrected to amuse-bouche in Western restaurants. This
is hilarious because it's still a filthy concept if your brain
wants to interrogate the translation (is gob-amuser so much worse
than mouth-amuser?). Despite the renaming, the unpredictable and
inherently sensual nature of the amuse-gueule shines through. From
an elaborate imitation of caviar that turns out to be mushroom
essence to just a blob of wasabi, I've had more amuses than hot
dinners. Which makes sense, because they're little touches of
ideas. A good poem is a little touch of a big idea. The following
are poems intended to enliven the palate, satiate the mind, and
make you feel like you've been on a weird-ass culinary journey.
