New Year's Eve

What did you eat on New Year's Eve?

As I was going out, I made a potato, leek and bacon soup served with mustard toast for the parents. The main course was leftover turkey, ham and Russian salad and dessert was fresh strawberries marinated in champagne and served with cream.

I, on the other hand, had a far simpler meal. Eggs, toast, baked beans, sausages and fries. Yes. For real. My dining partner had grilled fish in a nameless brown sauce and we both had an iced tea spiked with a large vodka. Where, you ask? Koshys, of course.

Provo had to send his menu and it kind of eclipses all else.

GBC Seafood Cocktail
fresh chilled Lobster, Stone Crabs, Jumbo Shrimp Cocktail
and Cracked conch with mustard and cocktail sauce

Pan Seared Scallops
wild mushroom ragout and truffled mash potatoes

Foie Gras Tasting
green apple tart, pan seared with French toast blueberry compote truffle pate

Mixed Greens
candied walnuts, raspberry vinaigrette and anjou pears
with pecan goat cheese frittes

Romaine Heart
drizzled with lemon anchovy dressing and Focaccia Croutons

Herbed Seared Sea Bass
sun-dried tomato risotto cake, white and green asparagus tips, and saffron beurre blanc

Brioche Crusted Lamb Chops
double cut chops, wilted chard with pine nuts and seedless grapes
with goat cheese mash and mint jelly

Filet and Foie Gras
petite baby vegetables, white truffle Potato Grating and port natural sauce

Asian Stuffed Lobster

Asian stir fried vegetables and crispy potato sticks

Champagne Toast at Midnight

The kicker is the price. The "experience" was $ 400.00 per person!

Whatever you ate and drank and wherever you were, I hope you rang in the New Year with someone you love.

Happy New Year everyone!

Happy New Year. Did not get to taste anything from the menu but it sure did look good in the kitchen.

Damn, yo!

$400? Give me Rs. 1500-2000 per head and see what I give you. :)

Bro, that sucks.

MM, do tell. I'm all ears!

Well, first are you going to give me that money or not? ;)

I don't want to make a menu and then find out it was just a theoretical exercise. :P

Say when, I'll bring the cash, you bring the menu.
