The Food:
Sautéed wild mushrooms on toasted brioche, foie gras poêlé and truffle sauce
Boned pig’s trotter stuffed with calf’s sweetbread and morels
Grouse livers seasoned with parsley served on toasted brioche and morels
Grouse à la presse (with Pomerol reduction) and potato soufflé
Tarte tatin with vanilla ice-cream
It was an afternoon like no other: the theatre of Otto’s and Otto himself, the decadence of the food and this triptych of astonishing Pomerol. All of it would have been pointless without commensurate company, and the banter flowed as freely as the wine. How do we top this year’s lunch, I have absolutely no idea, but you can guarantee that however it transpires, it will be recounted here on Vinous Table.
