'blagged' definition: serving one food to resemble another (haddock for cod, butternut squash for pumpkin etc ...)
recently, i got an order for scallops during service and realised i had no celeriac puree prepped whatsoever, so rather than prep and cook some right there and then because i was too busy i blagged it with some reduced cream of cauliflower soup i had in the fridge which was on the a la carte menu as part of a trio of soup.
nobody knew i served up cream of cauliflower to replace celeriac puree and neither did the customer complain, the dish looked exactly the same just like if i'd have had some celeriac puree prepped.
