Well, I've just about recovered from our trip to Dublin at the weekend, so here are the photos I promised:

Long Island Duck with Tuscan Melon, Grains of Paradise and Minus Eight Vinegar:

Ohio Tomatoes and Costa Rican Hearts of Palm with Blue Fin Tuna:

Pan Roasted Foie Gras and Fuji Apple Tart with Mostarda di Cremona:

Quail with Black Mission Fig Jam and Turnip Kraut:

Colorado Lamb with Wild Mushroom Ragout, Porcini Pasta and Truffle Foam:

Cape Cod Scallop over Roasted Delicata and Pumpkin, Styrian Pumplinseed Oil:

This wasn't a menu item. They were out of the Seared Wild Turbot with Toasted Caper and Preserved Meyer Lemon which Matt ordered, so this was the Chef's substitute:

Duet of Prime Angus Beef and Short Ribs with Natural Jus:

Seared Australian "Kobe" Beef Tenderloin with Shrimp and Artichoke Risotto:

Kurobuta Pork Tenderloin and Belly with Florida Corn and Cipollini Onions:

Comte Saint Antoine, Fourme D'Ambert and 7 Year Aged Parmigiano-Reggiano:

Pyramid of Tanzanian Chocolate Mousse:

Hawaiian Kona Chocolate Mousse:

Vanilla Bean Creme Brulee:

HUNGRY NOW!

A couple of pics to add to the day.

Who was it that said they would go all day and not eat in an effort to save their appetite for V&A's?...

As if the previous day's pink shirt debacle was not enough!!

Looked and sounded a great meal. Mind you I'm sure that you were secretly chuffed that the girls missed you
