Mystery dessert

Let's discuss the importance of knowing what you're eating, then sink a spork into the dessert placed in front of you. The dish above concluded a jovial dinner at a vinyard near Niagara. The chef was a bit of an envelope-pushing deviant, and nothing that emerged from that kitchen and brought to our tables was what it appeared at first sight. That triangle of thin milk chocolate is actually thin chocolate-flavoured toasted bread. The rice mound? Some kind of dry custard with sandgrain-sized flecks of vanilla bean mixed throughout.

The strawberries and the wine were authentic. And really good.
