Decadence

Starting off the evening as we meant to go on. Les Negresses Vertes blasts from the kitchen Victrola as preparations were underway. Poussin in the oven, greens and sautee potatoes prepared for cooking, it was time to open the chilled pink Champagne that Jimty had gotten Mrs Tnr for her birthday.


Then came the caviar, Avruga, we're not made of money!


Slapped a plastic spoonful of Avruga (I don't know if that's the proper verb for applying caviar) on to one's Blini, top with a dollop of sour cream and a sprinkling of finely chopped shallot. Absolutely fabulous and way, way better than lumpfish roe let me tell you.

Mrs Tnr closes her eyes and enjoys.


Spatchcock Poussin done to perfection, crisp skin moist and tasty inside, with just an overdose of greens and tenderstem brocolli.

To finish off with remarkably simple Crepes Suzette A' La Nigella. 10 minute job, but tastes absolutely wonderful.

Post dinner entertainment the splendid La Vie En Rose rounds off a French themed night.
