“In this moment, I don’t know who is pursuing whom any more than these fish do.” - Jack Crawford, Hannibal Episode 212, “Tome-Wan”

In Friday’s episode of nbchannibal, Hannibal serves Kholodets, a Ukrainian dish of jellied meat. As Hannibal explains, the outcome of the dish can never be predicted, but we do know that one must use a meat containing cartilage in order to have any chance of success.

Hannibal’s circular Kholodets jelly mold includes fish positioned on opposite ends, thus creating the illusion of the eternal chase. As Hannibal observes, “At a certain point it becomes unclear who is pursuing whom.”

This week we share an image from Finnish photographer tuukkakoski which reminded us of the fish engaged in Hannibal’s eternal chase:

Is the subject of the image the pursuer or the pursued? That all depends on perspective, we guess. In any event, this stunning image comes from Tuukka Koski’s “Eat & Joy Farmers Market” collection. You can see more of the collection here: http://tuukkakoski.com/filter/Food/Eat-Joy-Farmers-Market-2

As always, we appreciate Tuukka’s generosity in allowing us to use his images here.

Spoiler Alert: Hannibal’s response to the question of who is chasing whom? “Whomever is pursuing whom in this very moment, I intend to eat them.” Enjoy “Tome-Wan,” Friday at 10/9c on NBC.
