Degustation II - Electric Boogaloo

You know I can't resist the Electric Boogaloo option.

Last Wednesday (you have to pardon the weird spelling and punctuation; i'm back on a french keyboard) i ate at this little restaurant in Nice:

with Chié, Kae, and Marie. Chié used to work with the sous-chef (i think he's the sous-chef) and invited me to join them for this incredible meal at the restaurant. We ordered the degustation tasting menu which consisted of about 8 courses, i will ty to run through them here...
1. fried oysters served on a shell with a mild curry sauce
2. white truffle foam with a little wasabi
3. risotto with baby anchovies and artichoke
4. um...i don't know if i should admit this...foie gras* bonbon wrapped in threads of fried potato with mushrooms and black truffle
*yes; i ate the foie gras. i've been mostly sticking to fish so far but for this meal i decided that i was not going to be a vegetarian or pechetarian. however, those of you who are gasping in horror right now will be co,forted to know that while all of the other stuff on the plate was great, i have decided that i don't get the point of foie gras and it is unlikely that i will eat it again. Besides, the worst is yet to come (see point #6 below)
5. fish, i'm not sure what kind, with squid
6. er.....uh....and then i ate veal** with asparagus
**i'm not a virgin anymore. i ate veal. and it was delicious. however, i was very conflicted about it which i take as a sign that i will not be eating veal in the future.
7. avant-dessert (i love this concept) of a mango and yogourt foam
8. real dessert of mango sorbet with wild strawberries and MASCARPONE and possibly something else i've forgotten because i keep thinking about the MASCARPONE.

It was a great meal, i forgot my camera but the others were taking photos of each course (n'oubliez pas!) so if i get copies i will post them just to whet your appetites. they were very nice to us too; treated us to some dessert wine and then, when we were finished, took us on a tour of the kitchen and the wine cave. There was an impressive collection of wine down there, Carrie you would have been salivating.
