I had a great meal with the family tonight. The Grandparents came to town to celebrate before my host family leaves for Sri Lanka for holiday.
FX prepared 3 courses for us, quite a rich meal by anyone's standards. We had Foie Gras for starters with fig jam on bread, then oysters 2 ways: raw and cooked with curry seasoning, last we had stuffed quail wrapped in bacon. Each course was paired with its own wine which FX picked out himself. The family played a game of guess that wine with each course and FX brought out a book which should have been titled the wine bible, because I can't imagine a more complete explanation of soil, weather, regions, grape species etc.
