Merry? Christmas

Our Christmas dinner this year was weird. It was accompanied by a show, which turned out to be the Mariah Carey Christmas special. This necessitated shots.

The first course was candied sugar. It was described on the menu as a “Christmas tropical salad with clove leaves”. . We forgot to take a picture of that one.

The second course was fishy. Very fishy. It was “tuna and oysters with Chipilin and black Caviar vinigrette”. Those pink crystals are a “salt mirror”, which apparently means blocks of pure salt. Matt found out the hard way.

The third course was nut soup with meaty lumps. Sorry, that’s “smoked hazelnut creme with quail croquette and foiegras stuffed profiteroles”. It was the most edible course.

The main course was a turkey roll, which was dry and had surprize candied sugar lumps in the middle.

Or “lobster glazed cod”, which was really fishy.

We bailed before desert to go to the buffet.
