Noel

So I know the holidays are suppose to be a time to stuff your face silly but the French take the cake for this (pun intended). Here is what I consumed in the order in which I consumed them:

[Apero - Sorry no picture I was too busy eating but imagine snacks available for the duration of a superbowl. Include overtime.]



[Raw Oysters - I consumed 1/3 of this since 3/10 of people there ate this dish]



[Foie gras with kiwi and banana jam. Heavenly but heavy]



[Turkey]



[Sides]


[Salad]



[Assorted cheeses]



[Rasberry Tarimisu with Macaroons]



[Christmas Log - I actually ate this the next day because everyone veto-ed the 2 other desserts after the tarimisu - there was another cake as well that I never saw thank god]

Add to all this white wine, red wine, rose wine, fruit rum champagne cocktail, and regular champagne and you have the totality of it all.

When I commented this was a bit ridiculous I was told that it was nothing compared to last year's "traditional" french xmas dinner involving 13 small desserts. No that's not a typo. Thirteen.

On the plus side I'm pretty sure this meal put more junk in my trunk. Nice.
