Did Bob Terwilliger have to be so cryptic and not explain that mizuna is
Japanese mustard as I had to find out? :-)

Somebody is playing pin-the-tail-on-the donkey with a long list of
ingredients.

I've seen it called mizuna *much* more often than anything else. If I saw
the term "Japanese mustard" I wouldn't have known what it was.

The granola is probably not what you think of as granola. Call it a soft
toasted-oat crust if it helps. The celery root plays two parts in the
original dish. It's cut into thin strips, fried, and dehydrated so that it
resembles shredded coconut in texture (but not in flavor, of course). It's
also cooked until soft and puréed; that purée is served alongside the
crusted venison with a dried-cherry sauce.
