Did Hammond serve "chili and sea bass" or "Chilean sea bass"?

There's clearly chilis on the right. But Chilean sea bass makes more sense.

Chilean Sea Bass in the script.
There's no chili in this picture. It's Chilean sea bass.
Do people really not know of an indie 90s gem Jurassic Park?

All I know is Hammond saved the kids by being a glutton.

Hammond and Malcolm die in the book. Then somehow Malcolm is rezzed via retcon for the sequel.
That's much more confusing than sea bass

Wouldn't it have made more sense if it was Nedry, the true glutton of the film, who snuck in and ate all the ice cream, and so turns out to be the hero after all? Or is there a part in the film where Hammond references ice cream that I've forgotten about??
OMG YES!
There is literally a scene where he (Hammond) laments the park with Ellie with all the melting the ice cream the night before Grant and the kids make it back.
So Jurassic Park was my second favorite thing to watch as a kid after Star Wars. When Hammond would say that Malcolm "suffers from a deplorable excess of personality," I didn't understand what that meant, so I thought that Hammond was saying Malcolm was literally suffering from some kind of illness. Malcolm was my favorite character so I thought it was really cool that he could be smart and a hero in spite of having an illness or disability.
It was only when I got older that I understood Hammond was just saying he's a jackass.

That was your mistake kid... Believing in sexy pose Malcom.
Grant is who you should have believed in.
I probably seen Jurassic Park 25 times, minimum, and couldn't tell you a single thing they ate throughout the movie. Maybe jello? Expired candy bars? No, that was JP3.
Feel the burn?
Everyone is wrong.
It's "Chili 'n' Cheese Bash," due to the chilis and the clump of shredded cheese on top. And it's a bash.
i know man. goddamn food...
somebody should do something.
I for one knew what the OP was referring to just from the title! But I rewatched JP just a month ago lol
Do most people really remember what meal a character ate from a movie 25 years ago? Unless you constantly re watch it how do you remember that?
God damn of course... it's been a long time!
The fuck? Those are clearly tomatoes and shredded carrots! For pitys sake!
:p
I absolutely remember this because I watched the movie a bunch of times as a kid and he makes a really big point out of it.
Technically Chilean Sea Bass is actually Patagonian Toothfish (cod), not bass

Which brings up the question, if he truly did "spare no expense" it should have been Black Sea or European Bass BUT I believe "Chilean Sea Bass" costs more than real bass so assuming he just picked whichever option was the most expensive, then Chilean Sea Bass probably works.

In the distant reaches I can hear Gordon Ramsay 20 years later screaming at how overdressed the fish is, how crowded the plate is, how irrelevant the raw tomatoes and stupid salad of bare carrot shreds are to the flavors of the dish and what kind of donkey slices a delicate cut of fish like it's a fajita plate get with the times you *bleep*ing donkey.
This scene has always bothered me. Like, how the hell does Ellie get to the ice cream??
I present my case in a series of screenshots:
This scene, plus the scene where the T-rexes first break through their fence drove me nuts as a kid and are actually what got me interested in film analysis, haha.
OP
OP
Those are tomatoes. It's Chilean sea bass cause that's actually a thing and chili and sea bass isn't.
Really OP?
Really OP?
Have you ever had museum food? I bet that plate was cold as hell.
