We also had an appetizer (not shown) of roasted red nugget squash soup with cranberry chutney and chestnut oil. Yum!
foie gras with burnt sugar, melon gazpacho in a test tube, and raw oysters with passionfruit ice in halved limes.
Amuse
Panna Cotta, Grapefruit Gelée,
Almonds, and Muscat Grapes
Notes: The "amuse in a glass" must be a signature since the amuse we had in The Modern Dining Room last year was also designed that way though those contents were much more colorful than these. We remain amazed at how they manage to get the contents inside while still keeping the glass immaculate.
I don't remember what flavored the wonderfully smooth panna cotta, but when taken in with the grapefruit gelée, the almonds, and the grapes, it all made for a seriously delicious combination.
For some strange reason, the implement provided was not a spoon but a little fork with a slightly curved bowl (a "spork"?), which made it difficult to spoon up the liquid at the bottom. Since we weren't about to leave over any of the delectible liquid, we just picked up the glass and drank it.
Thank you pic for our friends who got us pots for the wedding.
