Thursday April 7
It was wonderful to see our friend Giuseppe; when he was last here as a Tytus fellow, we had him over for dinner and served him his first corn on the cob. After his stimulating talk, we went back to La Poste.
This time, our starters were crabcakes (okay), and mussels and clams in caraway cream sauce, which were excellent.
For mains we risked the seared duck breast on root vegetables. Holt had previously (somewhere among the interviewees, below) gotten a duck breast that was seriously undercooked, but this time we asked that it be just beyond pink, and it was delicious. And the special: halibut cheeks, with sweetbreads (which tasted a bit more innardsy than usual) and some kale and cabbage. A bit bland for all the foofaraw.
Still, a pleasant dinner.
