morsel

Or build a composed salad on top of it — say, a swoop of purée topped with Little Gem, toasted pistachios, shards of Manchego and morsels of dried cherries.

The chewy morsels come sopping in soy sauce and flecked with chile flakes, with a rich and juicy meat filling.

Everyone everywhere — every culture in the world — loves perfectly seasoned, expertly cooked, just cool enough to pop in your mouth, audibly crunchy morsels of fried meat, fish, fowl or vegetables.

"I'd lost every morsel of confidence that I possibly could have had," remembers Williams.

The same goes for dinner gravy made from leftover morsels of chicken, turkey, beef or game.
