The annual Kennedy Halloween dinner was, as normal, highly doubtful in the quality of the course names but met with high acclaim from those lucky enough to get a position around the table.Other courses were:
STARTER
Primeval sludge of the netherworld
NIBBLE
Eye of newt, gall of goat,
fillet of a fenny snake,
does this little nibble make.
MAIN
Delicately poached portion of a witch’s inner thigh,
served with pate of the gonads of felix niger.
Aren't you sorry you missed it?
...
red or white?
ReplyDeleteWhite.
ReplyDeleteAnd the vegetarian option?????
ReplyDeleteinteresting...
ReplyDeletewhat? no dragon's blood punch?
ReplyDeletehaha.....actually gonads are a delicacy on the ranch.....we call them Mountain Oysters.....
ReplyDeleteI haven't eaten them myself, but I have eaten oysters, which are a bit like eating.........well lets just say...it is an ACQUIRED taste....haha
oh yes, so very sorry I was not on the guest list! the dessert sounds to die for.
ReplyDeleteThe starter, a pumpkin soup, was vegetarian. As was the dessert (chocolate icecream, raspberry sauce and dumplings with peppermint chocolate filling).
ReplyDeleteTough luck about the fish and tarantor (nut) sauce.
The appearance of primeval sludge of the nether world is much improved by a swirl of cream and a sprinkling of paprika. but my husband would agree that was a fair description of pumpkin soup.
ReplyDeleteAlas poor Felix.
