Our NYE celebration was a dinner at our favourite restaurant Black Tartan Kitchen.  It was a feast.  The walk there (about 25 minutes) was very eerie.  Rain and fog and almost no one on the streets.  Weather was extremely strange for this time of year here.

 

Chef Ian provides his menus in crossword form.  Always an interesting "appetizer" to the meal.  Here is the menu from last night with my answers penned in....(clue numbers refer to the order of the dishes)...

 

 

1st Course....Corn (corn cake, pureed corn, popcorn)

 

2nd course Oysters Rockefeller.....

 

 

3rd course Carrot and Clementine Salad....

 

 

4th course Tourtiere (a French Canadian favourite)...

 

 

5th course Bison and Beets.....

 

 

6th course a Ginger Extravaganza.....

 

 

7th course Yule Log.....

Had to look up Tourtiere - and from now on this is how I will describe my meat pies , so much more elegant.  What a fabulous eclectic menu.

No table cloth.   Black Tartan Kitchen is a casual fine dining restaurant.

And did you see how clean the tabletop was?  Sometimes I wonder what's lurking underneath a tablecloth...

me too, always fun to learn something new.  Then I found a Canadian website (will post the link below) that offered this answer in response to a question I had

 

WHICH WINE WITH TOURTIERE

Whites, sparkling or reds all go with them a tourtière pie.

 

I think its love at first sight: me tourtiere, & whichever wine I'm in the mood to enjoy

I think it's maybe a European ( British thing) Mr luxury ☺️. I love a white table cloth  although they are going out of fashion 😞..my table just 2 of us this new year due to shingles 😞..and once again my dear husband who what ever the dress code on silversea is never casual ( photo from last night on cruise a few years ago !! )  Happy new year 🥂

Love both of them, both were right!

Maybe I ought to get one of those shingles shots, sorry that affliction affected your New Years.  The table you set in your photo looks inviting to me, however.  Best wishes and heal quickly
