What I had for dinner aka Sasshat Rules→[More:]
Peach and champagne apertif
Foie gras and apples thingy
Chopped salad with homemade vinaigrette
Rosemary, thyme, and truffle chicken, made with a free range bird, in a makeshift bag.
A delicious store-bought dessert (some sort of berries, cream, lady fingers thing...)
A whole shitload of wine (We went through a bottle per person.)
Some cognac.

I have it on reliable sources that I was a hit. Thanks sasshat!

That sounds like a lovely dinner. The aperitif is known as a Bellini

Foie gras is the best food there is.

Even better than velveeta or pickled eggs.

sasshat: It wasn't bad at all! I was very nervous though. Cooking for French people, in France... Ce n'est pas un simple chargent. Finding the ingredients was quite a challenge.

essexjan: ah, I should've known it would have a name. I make them somewhat regularly, but never bothered learning what they're called.

mullacc: foie gras is entirely too good. The stuff we bought was from a little farm that only makes products from geese. Outside we could see all the foie gras geese running around, inside was a steady stream of local French customers, greeting the owner by name and buying lots of foie gras.

danf: My bellinis came out great, but I'm afraid I don't have any good tips. I just made some peach juice, and mixed it with some champagne until the taste was good.
