An avocado cream cheese presentation

I had been warned that dinner would be melodramatic. Expect a Bollywood-like production, only more flamboyant, I'd been cautioned. The food is the show, eating is incidental. We were sitting in a teppanyaki square around the kitchen, the chefs in the centre. In the background were, um, contraptions instant freeze dryers, centrifuges, vacuum sealers, liquid nitrogen, blow torches, spherifiers. The tools of a new food science.
