Till Death do us Part....

Battered Fish and Hand Cut Chips with Tartare Sauce

Everything in life always has an end.. Those famous words” till death do us part”. Life is a whimsical roller coaster of many ups and downs, though everything must have an end. Even the best and most tasty plate of food has to finish. The same special moments everyday does not seem so special after a while, so having your favorite food less often makes it always seem even more satisfying.

  The problem I have is, I have to many favorites, so by the time I eat all my favorites it has been a long time since I ate the first.. As you can see Life can be good….

  Your favorite food is like Marriage, as food is a marriage of flavors and senses. Mignon McLaughlin wrote
”A successful marriage requires falling in love many times, always with the same person.” That is what I think you should feel every time you eat your long awaited Favorite.

THE LAST SUPPER..

Angus Beef Tenderloin, Herb Garlic Lobster Tail, Pan Seared Foie Gras, Kipfler Potato, White Asparagus, Morel Mushrooms, Veal Jus

I served this dish recently for a Last meal for THE TEACHER (blog post 20^th August 2011.)  It is a dish that may not necessarily be the prettiest, but combines all the thing a lot of us love.. A good quality slow roasted Angus beef tenderloin steak, Grilled Lobster tail with herb garlic butter, pan seared Foie Gras with it rich creamy texture, Roast Kipfler potato, veal jus, white asparagus and morel mushrooms.. This is what I would call a LAST SUPPER to remember. Yes.. You can cliché this as a Reef and Beef, but there is no denying, you want some if you not a vegetarian that is. I remember the first time I ate such a dish in Las Vegas in 2006, it was amazing. A meal deserves to be remembered forever, for its pure taste and pleasure. Top that with the Place enjoyed and the company enjoying it with you and you cannot lose.

Bon Appétit
