1st: appetizers - home-made cheeses in shape of pyramids, crackers, and two different kinds of pepperoni
2nd: Foie Gras, a piece of toast, juicy figs in special sauces made from figs freshly picked from trees grown in their backyard.
3rd: ceviche on a bed of ice, served on individual clam shell
4th: lemon sorbet served in a real lemon filled with refreshing sorbet.5th: guinea hen and pear with chocolate sauce. They also have guinea hens raised for them by local villagers
6th: salad with strings of lemon peel, assortment of cheeses (French way of eating Salas along with cheeses)
7th: rabbit meat wrapped in Chayo leaves
8th: chocolates and turrons (Spanish tradition during holidays)
9th: A cake that I don't quite know how to describe - cheese/icecream cake with lady fingers around it
Along with good food, there was also good wine, good music and, more importantly, good company! We basically ate from 8pm to 1am and didn't get back until almost 2am. Understandablly, finishing a nine-course dinner requires the whole body to 'work' harder to absorb everything - presentation, color, smell and taste, hence the length of time spent on appreciating, savoring and chewing!
