Beef tartar with ants: the ants were collected from Jutland, frozen then sprinkled on top. In order to harvest them, they destroy the ant hill, let the ants attack them with their acid venom. The ants crawl on their ams and they brush them into tubs. They were very acidic.

Beetroot, slowe berries and aromatic herbs

amazing Riesling

Egg and fresh greens: they were collected nearby, some were very bitter, the sauce was made of roasted ramps and there were charred ramps in the bowl, making some of the greens raw while others were cooked
