I have to admit, since I was small, I have always had the best or have been given the best things in general. It's not like I'm spoiled, well actually perhaps a bit, but one has to know about such things to possess them. As immoral as my true self is, I have quite a classy elegant taste in every aspect of life. Personally I like how I have become after all those year even though I always think I'm a waste of space. Here we come to the contradictory circle again.
As I was saying, my knowledge of food is, arrogantly and truthfully speaking, an ocean wider comparing to most people, except the expert journalists or chefs or food judgers, since in all my life I have known only one person in contact that know more about food than I do. That brings us to the main topic of this post: All the foods I've been having in this holiday. As a matter of fact, I have this kind of food almost every day, so it is nothing special anymore. However I need an outlet since most of my friends probably have no idea what I'm talking about when I explain it to them. Moreover I decide to brag less about my "upper-class" life to them lately, guess I need more friends who are on the same wave-length and have the same knowledge as me. Not that I'm complaining, but they are incredibly hard to come by.
For my personal interest I shall make a list, so we can eat something differently next year.
Christmas Eve: Pomelo with prawns salad, salmon and tuna terrine, beef tongues and potato salad (the one with peas, hams, boiled eggs etc), stewed pigeons stuffed with lotus seeds, apples and chestnut. For desert some Irish Coffee mousse with cherries sauce and Chocolate mousse. After that a cheese platter with about 10 different kinds of cheeses which I'm too lazy to name all and trout caviar with sour cream.
2nd Christmas day: Forgive me, my family tends to bend toward the traditional side. Goose in the oven, red cabbage, Brussels sprouts, Semmelknödel (surprise, it's like that in English too), Klöße. For desert champagne sorbet and mojito sorbet. I'll just skip all the afternoon tea with cookies, cakes, lebkuchen and biscuits.
2 days after that: Cold soba noodles with salmon roe and ebi tempura for lunch (I stayed at home alone so might as well make my favourite food). Dinner came and fridge is full so it's lamb with spätzle and stir-fried spinaches. Not really my type of food btw.
Then: grilled fish fins with mashed potatoes, rucola salad with lettuce and red bell peppers (fridge cleaning).
Someday after: grilled Crayfish (or small lobster) with lemon grass and garlic, tom yam gung with chanterelles (shoot me if I remember all the mushroom varieties), larb moo (pork) and sticky rice.
Presumably it'll be raclette for new year, another mess of varieties of vegetables and meats and other food plus chocolate fondue. I'm having my pomegranate fetish lately.
It's a wonder I have always been a skinny type since I was small. Suddenly I want to eat pomegranate after naming all these dishes.
