Now that I have recovered my gastronomical equilibium, I am going to torment the rest of you with the full menu, so that you will know what you missed. Patrice taught us to appreciate: Bordeau Chateau Haut Rocaud; Cotes du Rhone Villages Reserve; Burgundy white Montagny; Blason de Bourgogne. Starters: spring rolls and curry puffs from Malaysia; garlic mussels and oysters from France; Chapche, pork noodles, from Korea; Dolma, vine leaves, and cacik, cucumber, from Turkey. Main courses: tandoori chicken and blackbean and mushroom from India; pilau rice from Uganda; stew from round here; spaghetti from Italy; dahl, lentils, from Mauritius; chicken curry and aloo gobi from Pakistan. Desserts: almond tarts and cookies from Denmark; potato/apple fritters from German. All of this delicious stuff was prepared by Shimna people with roots in these many cultures, and we owe them a huge thank you and sigh of appreciation.
I must also include a tribute to those who provided the raffle prizes: Asda; Tesco; Postively Spiritual; Ahead with Reita; Irwin's Bakery; Slieve Donard Hotel; Kilmorey Arms Hotel; Motor Factors, Ballynahinch.
