Saturday

Friends round for dinner. Spent a lot of the day cooking.

We ate:

1. Sushi (just 3 tiny pieces as an amuse).
2. Asparagus hollandaise.
3. Smoked salmon mousse, cucumber, shallot, crostini.
4. Braised partridge, broad beans, game chips, red wine jus.
5. Cheese [Manchego, Lancashire, Camembert, British Blacksticks Silk (a blue goats' cheese)].
6. Mini trifle.
7. Normandy pear tart.

We drank:

1. Champagne
2. Reisling
3. Pauillac
4. Port

It was really rather good (and worth all the effort)
