Chiffonade

Definition

A knife technique where you roll up leafy herbs or greens and slice them into elegant thin ribbons. It sounds like a French ballet move but it's really just aggressive lettuce rolling. It exists solely so chefs can feel superior about cutting basil.

Example Usage

"I chiffonaded the basil with surgical precision, then my roommate used scissors on theirs and honestly it looked the same."

cru

A French designation indicating a specific vineyard or group of vineyards recognized for superior quality and distinct characteristics, essentially wine's way of having a VIP section.

It's real estate rankings for grapes that somehow justify charging $300 for fermented juice.
