How you know it is done

Scene 12 · mistakes · 7s
If it goes wrong
Shot. Split screen is unnecessary. Show the finished, correct texture, then a hand points at the cue.
Voiceover. The pâté tastes bitter. A bit of green bile stayed on a liver, or the shallot burned. Trim carefully and keep the shallot pale. It is greasy and loose. The butter was melted in the hot pan. Add cold butter off the heat and chill before you spread it.
