Jenny (the Second Lady Willis) and Peter made reservations for Sunday lunch at a fancy restaurant in Saint Georges-des-Sept-Voies, a little village out past Gennes. The restaurant is part of an auberge, a small boutique hotel in the countryside.
We started with aperitifs on the terrace - kirs all round. We were served a selection of three amuse-buches: guacamole stuffed cherry tomatoes, salmon hachette, and devilled quail eggs.
We had a choice of three menus. The most expensive featured sweetbreads with lobster and seabass, the mid price featured monkfish and pork, the cheapy featured rabbit. There was a salad and a dessert with every menu. We also had a selection of cheeses and a "pre-dessert" which was a mint panna-cotta with a strawberry mousse topping.
