It took four hours and $250, but when melon caviar hit the iberico consommé, it was magic. I looked up in a dictionary "consomme" is a vegetable and meat clear soup. Don't undersand how melon ( dessert) hit soup Thank you olga55 Joined on Wed, Jun 18 2008 Full Member 150

	Feebs11  +  574980 Fri, 10 Oct 08 02:04 AM "iberico consomme" =  In this case, a clear soup made from jambon iberico, which is the ham made from pigs that have been fed on acorns. Melon is not always a dessert. In this case, the melon flesh is in small balls [melon caviar] , which are added to the consomme.     Feebs11 Joined on Thu, Nov 23 2006 UK Veteran Member 5,015
