Gosh, that was funny. But it made me feel terrible about eating your urchins' relatives. You really shouldn't have told them. Especially on a holiday. But maybe the chef lied. It was very difficult to tell what we were eating. They were tiny brown fishy smears in the bottom of a shell, drowned in a butter sauce. Kind of anchovylike. The best course was a tempura like prawn with an incredible dip. The one dish that sounded icky but I loved was a plate of paper thin beet and aged comté (a cheese) slices with some sort of dressing. The course that I left on my plate was the sweetbreads. I just couldn't do it. We actually had waiters at each course who stood by and lifted the little silver domes off each plate at exactly the same time. You felt you should applaud. But after ten courses, you just found yourself sighing and thinking, oh god, I hope this is the end. Five hours is a long time to eat. I started thinking maybe they should do like at winetastings-- have little spit buckets next to our chairs.
