The elite black gold rubs shoulders with the very popular “chicken nuggets”, the flagship recipe of large fast-food or frozen food companies. It is with this audacity that the greatest chefs create the greatest dishes, as in the field of fashion, where popular codes and sportswear brands combine with haute couture houses. In a reels posted on December 20 on Instagram, Rihanna and Jennifer Rosales are ironic about their creation. “Tips and tips for the mother: you ask your broke friend to bring the nuggets,” says Rihanna, “and your rich friend to bring the caviar,” continues Jennifer Rosales.
Gastronomic curiosities and human curiosity
A discovery for Rihanna, new to eating nuggets “Oh my God, I don’t like how much I like it”, admits Rihanna, a little ashamed while tasting the nugget, originally intended for her two children, RZA and Riot. “Am I about to steal my kids’ nuggets?” I thought it was bullshit.”
Between urban and starry codes
Star chef Mory Sacko had already included this invention on the menu of his comfort food restaurant, Mosugo, with a version combining a piece of fried chicken, topped with caviar and trout roe. A smart alternative is to replace the caviar with trout eggs, the etymology of the word “caviar” meaning “fish eggs”.
In the world of sport too, we love this culinary association. During the US Open in New York — from August 26 to September 8, 2024 — chicken nuggets covered with caviar and truffles were offered by “COQODAQ”, a high-end Korean restaurant. They were sold for $16.67 (each). There was also an alternative: a nugget topped with black truffles and truffle mayonnaise.
Inventions that risk proliferating for the good of our taste buds, while arousing our curiosity.
