Thursday April 12
Our old friend Martin Winkler was in town to give a talk to the Classics Club, so we joined a jovial party (Daniel, Valeria, and Bea) to regale him at La Poste afterward.
La Poste tends to ring changes on rather than change its standard dishes, so once again we had appetizers of seared scallops (this time on parsnip purée along with a salmagundi of mushrooms and onions braised in dark beer) and veal sweetbreads with bacon, egg, and sweet potato hash.
They don't usually have "rabbit confit," so we went for it. It turned out to be a rather plain side of bunny, on baby bok choy and fingerling potatoes in a brown sauce. Our other main was the fish special, grilled barramundi, served with an intense tomato purée. Both were nice, but nothing to write home about. Still, with a bottle of sauvignon blanc and one of pinot noir, plus pleasant company, it was a very good evening.
