Sangre Dulce is a weird and yet completely wearable gourmand idea born out of Prin Lomros’ love for two specific movies. The ‘sangre’ part of the title, meaning blood (or family ties), represents the crazy lifestyle and mores of the strange religious cult in Alejandro Jodorowsky's Santa Sangre, and the ‘dulce’ part (sweet) comes from the lurid hallucinations experienced by party goers upon ingesting a cocktail laced with LSD in the French movie "Climax" by Gaspar Noé.
Based on the inspiration, we expect an oddball mixture of sweet and inedible elements that have been thrown together in a somewhat wild and unconventional manner. And that is exactly what we get! A wild pinprick burst of woodland strawberries, technicolor in their juicy sweetness, imploding over and over again in a beescomb, their pulpy scent muffled by a molten pour of pure gold honey. But there is also a softly musky tobacco-ish accord, shot through with rosewater marshmallow fluff, and buttery ylang sharpened to a spike with blood orange. It is both sweet and not sweet, edible and firmly inedible, all at once. The balance here is superb, refining a cornucopia of fruits, burnt sugar, and balsams to a slim and elegant peak that is unusual in the gourmand genre. Consider us astonished and delighted!
