Bite-Sized Food

(7atenine has now merged with Jazz at Southbridge, as of Jan 2010)

We chilled out at 7atenine again.

The girlfriend unwrapped the foil from this tube on the charcuterie platter. She thought it was cheese. She tasted it, eyes grew big and frowned. She said it was butter. She made all of us put a chunk into our mouths. That butter was divine! It was salted, delicate and really smooth. It was a very good butter that we knew wouldn't be found within the commercial brands.

So we asked the chef. He told us a very romantic story of family-made butter on a dairy farm. He said that the butter we tasted was churned by hand and flown in from the north of France.

We had seared scallops. There was mash beneath it. The moment I licked that dark sauce on the mash, it was an instant orgasm. It was bovril!!! I loved the bovril on mash.

We were quite hungry I guess. For 4 humans, we had 15 items on the table.
