I seriously haven't been cooking, but I wanted to share what I ate on Christmas day. I didn't do anything besides open oysters, and pop these snails into the oven... oh yea, and lay everyone down on a nice pretty tray!
This guy was my favorite! A nice Langoust (what is that in english?) kind of like lobster, but with a sweeter taste! With him on the tray are different kind of snails we eat cold, and really tasty shrimp.
This little guy is called Tourteau Crab. I didn't really like it. The legs and pinchers were good, but the stuff in his body was kind of gross. Sorry little guy!
Now this was the main course on Christmas Eve! I actually cooked this: Ostrich steak with baby sauteed potatoes and green beans. Ostrich is delicious!
Here was one of our appetizers on Christmas Eve: Lump eggs and Fois Gras! This was really really good. I think next time we will try to get real caviar, but these were already pretty tasty!
Oysters are always a staple when doing a classy dinner. Eric opened these because I have no idea how to do it, but these little beauties are from Normandy. We ate them with just a squeeze of lemon. Delicious!
All of this.. FOR 2!!
Wow Steph! I am impressed with all of this. I want to cook Fish on Christmas one year. Do a lot of Europeans do the feast of seven fish on Christmas Eve? I hope that it was delish!
ReplyDeleteHoly Cow!!! or Fish!? Looks sooo yummy!! Marc and I had oysters with Marc's dad for Christmas, sooo yummy!! I can't believe that was just for two!! :)
ReplyDeleteYea a lot of French do cold seafood for christmas eve.. but usually as appetizers. This is my Christmas eve dinner, and christmas day lunch by the way.. 2 meals. And the best part about sexy seafood is that you don't have to do anything, just eat it! no work!
