The annual birthday feast for M and his family took place yesterday.
We ate smoked trout souffles and salad, lamb stuffed with fruit, rice and spices, pommes dauphinoise, carrots, peas, ratatouille, and that nice fractal vegetable, whose name I have forgotten.
This one!
Then we had one pudding - I made the executive decision to just do one, it was some fantastic hazelnut and cinnamon merginues with home made ice cream and chocolate sauce.
There was mild consternation when Tom and Mark went to help themselves to second helpings, saw the chocolate sauce and thought it was gravy and poured it over their veg. I don't think I would ever make such thick dark gravy under any circumstances. There was still plenty left over for the pudding.
