Wednesday 30 November
Our friend Nancy gave a talk on Pindar this evening, and we were happy to join the party to take her out to La Poste afterwards.
La Poste doesn't change its menu much. They always start by putting a plate of fried pita triangles and some hummus on the table. One or two of the courses vary by season, but on the whole it's pretty repetitive, which is fine if you like what they offer. For example, we had their scallop appetizer once again, with its tasty gorgonzola foam. We've also had their veal sweetbreads, this time as an appetizer with roasted butternut squash, potato, pumpkin seeds, and pickled fennel.
Our mains were a slightly bland lamb shank on creamy grits with shaved fennel, and crispy "airline chicken" (i.e. with the wing) on a bed of tarragon mashed potato lined with wild mushrooms, spinach, and Marsala sauce. We don't often order chicken since we can make most types easily ourselves, but this was very succulent and its crust would be hard to duplicate.
Wine was a merlot from Bordeaux, Chateau Grand Rousseau. How do you like those rhymes?
