Traveller, I doff my napkin to you. That's quite a meal. Smallish portions, I hope? I've always wondered if I would be able to appreciate wave after wave of courses, but it sounds like you had the stamina to do that, and I imagine that the meal was paced slowly enough so that you were never too full.
How long ago was this meal?

Whathello is a very kind and sensible person. We have enjoyed meals with him and kerouac and fuzzbucket and others in Paris, and no one eschews the foie gras.
Traveller, I am in awe, as I don't think I could have managed all that, even in 6 hours, though every bit sounds lovely.

I’m sure I heard somebody saying Cokie, tell us about one of the good meals you had in France in June. Oh well, since you insist! >>
that was probably me, coquelicot.
Traveller - I agree that I would probably have given up round about no 17.

Schloss Berg is on the Mosel, close to Luxembourg.

Yes, we had 24 courses, but of course, the amount of calories was the same as of 1 Big Mac.
The courses were tiny in size, but large in aroma. Several courses were molecur.
Take no. 7 "molecular sphere of olive". It was a sphere indeed - imagine a jelly bubble filled with the aroma of olive.
Or no. 8 "Pea soup with mint air". The pea soup was served in a shot glass and mint air was, in fact, air, mint-scented (a very light foam).
Did I mention that we had wine pairings? (Not 24 glasses, sometimes one wine accompanied three courses.)
