Its not a tourned turnip. its a turned turnip. they are two completely different knife cuts designed to provide to completely different aesthetic experiences. So yes it doesnt have 7 sides because its not a tourne. if you notice his one cut actually makes the turnip curve in on one side making it have almost a cresent moon shape. Two completely different cuts once again

I really don't think it is too much to ask to just simply get 7 nice sides on the turnip, while keeping a neat barrel shape.... these don't look like barrels.... and there may or may not have been 7 sides.... couldn't tell.... A customer may not be looking for perfection, but a customer is definitely wanting something that is appealing to the eye.... not some jacked up shape.

that looks like a lot of wastage.

@sibylfernandez its a football shape with 7 rounded sides

@peteyandjaydee hi ! can i ask somethin? im just being

confused on what is the right cut of "TOURNE"

[peteyandjaydee]

@albertuqui1 Sure it's not a "true tourne",but in our day and age customers aren't looking at how many sides their potatoes fondant have. We aren't in Escoffier's time anymore! Sure technique is a needed skill, but in the end food is about flavour, and yet there you are bitching about aesthetics

@moneybelt22 that is exactly what i said!

[albertuqui1]

@peteyandjaydee well rohner sucks!

[albertuqui1]

this is not a tourne at all! This person needs to go look up the definition of a tourne. A tourne is an oval shaped cut with SEVEN even sides with an average of 1 inch in girth and two inches long. This person is a complete embarrasment!
