Whisk in the creme fraiche, then fold in the lobster, bacon and parsley. Season with salt and pepper. Keep warm in a double boiler, for no more than 15 minutes.
• Heat the broth to a simmer in a pan that will allow the salmon to be completely submerged. Poach until medium rare, about 3 minutes, turning once. Remove from broth and season lightly with salt and pepper. Heat the veal glace.

• Meanwhile, zest the remaining lime and add about 1/2 teaspoon zest to the bowl of a food processor; add the juice from half the lime to the bowl (should be about 1 teaspoon juice). Add the basil leaves, a pinch of salt and a few grinds black pepper and pulse until it begins to turn into a paste. Add the creme fraiche and puree until very smooth. Transfer to a serving bowl and refrigerate until ready to serve.

POACHED VEAL TONGUE WITH POTATO, PARSNIP, AND SCALLION MASH

Steps:

• To brine the tongue, mix the salt with the water in a large bowl and submerge the tongue in it. Refrigerate for 6 hours or overnight.
• Bring the ingredients for the poaching liquid to a boil in a pot large enough to accommodate the tongue later, and let boil vigorously for 20 minutes.
• Remove the tongue from the brine, and lower it into the boiling broth. Cook, partially covered, at a lively simmer for 1 1/4 hours, then turn off the heat and leave the tongue submerged in the hot liquid for at least 1/2 hour. While the tongue is resting, get the potatoes and parsnips going (recipe follows).
• Fish the tongue out of the broth, and as soon as it is cool enough to handle, remove the peel (the warmer the tongue, the easier that will be). Following the photographs, start at the butt end to remove the peel; once you have gotten started, it should come off quite easily in big pieces. Trim away any gristle and fat at the butt end, and when ready to serve, cut into slices.
• Serve the tongue warm with the potato, parsnip, and scallion mash and at least one of the recommended condiments. The grated horseradish should be sprinkled on while the tongue is still warm, to infuse the slices with its sharp flavor. Leftover tongue is delicious cold, with the suggested sauces or others in this chapter. It makes a great sandwich with some mustard.
• Peel the baking potatoes, cut them in half, and submerge them in a pan of cold water to cover. Bring to a boil and cook 20 minutes, then add the parsnips and cook another 20 minutes, until both are tender. If the parsnips are getting too soft, fish them out of the pot with a wire sieve. When both the potatoes and parsnips are done, put them through a ricer, or strain and mash them in a bowl, with the butter and salt. Fold in the scallions. If the mash has to wait a little while before being served, put the bowl in a skillet with a small amount of boiling water, and simmer to keep warm.
