Our friends Brigitte and Bernard hosted a wonderful Reveillon de Saint Silvestre last night to welcome in the new year. Over the course of five hours we ate:
Champagne and canapés
Oysters
Foie gras
Barbecued beef with potato gratin and vegetables
--- break for fireworks at midnight, but no Auld Lang Syne ---
Salad
Cheese
Les Treize Desserts
Coffee
This is apparently a 'typical' French new year's meal. Well, it was fantastic and neither of us has had room to eat more than a couple of morsels today.

Reminds me of a French housewarming we went to where I stuffed myself on the first 2 courses thinking that was it, to find that there were THREE MORE major courses still to go!
