Pig head terrine with apple; crispy pork crackling with mustard and sage
The ultimate bar snack. The ultimate any time snack. This coming from a serious snacker: these two bites were seriously scrumptious, especially that long strand of pork crackling snaking off its slate plates.
The plate was already set up when we arrived at 416 and it was both decor and edible amuse(ment).
A little bonus course at the start: pork liver mousse with sea salt, fennel flowers, and a savory little cracker.
This is at the sWine dinner at Secco Wine Bar this week, a grand collaboration between the chef and cooks at Secco and a few other Richmond cooking luminaries. This opener is from Secco's own Tim Bereika.
Take all your overgrown infants away somewhere and build them a home; a little place of their own: The Fletcher Memorial Home for incurable tyrants and kings. And they can appear to themselves every day on closed circuit TV to make sure they're still real. It's the only connection they feel.
"Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome Reagan and Haig, Mr. Begin and friend, Mrs. Thatcher and Paisley, Mr. Brezhnev and party, the ghost of McCarthy, the memories of Nixon, and now adding colour, a group of anonymous Latin
American meat packing glitterati."
Did they expect us to treat them with any respect? They can polish their medals and sharpen their smiles, and amuse themselves playing games for a while:
"Boom boom, bang bang, lie down you're dead!"
Safe in the permanent gaze of a cold glass eye with their favourite toys. They'll be good girls and boys in the Fletcher Memorial Home for colonial wasters of life and limb.
Is everyone in? Are you having a nice time? Now the final solution can be applied.

Meadowood garden Crudite, creme fraiche and tomato water "snow". The tiniest radishes and carrots - icy cold - with cool creme fraiche. A great start to a not-so-good meal.
