Following the Best Western disaster (see earlier in the week) some lovely friends of ours took all six of us to a michelin star restaurant last night. We were given the usual options but what we finally decided on was "The Tour" which turned out to be a 17 course meal in which we all had to participate. Each person got the same thing.
Every course that came was a theatrical performance and included sorbets made in nitrogen, icecream on a stick and a consomme that came iwth a syringe of egg to squirt into it. It was just like playing and every course arrived with an Oooh from every one. There were noen fo the course that you would have attempted at home, there were none more special than the others.
What was really good out of this wonderful experience was the fact that we all ate the same thing together at the same time. We were able to share the experience in a very real way that made this have the same feel as a night at the theatre together.
Perhaps it is that sense of a shared experience that is so missing from our communities today.
