@meowmeowbeat seems to be well connected in the tech reporting community, so the account is probably worth a follow in my case.
After an interval came a kind of palate cleanser, a cup of duck consomme, lively with the tang of fresh ginger; delicious, but I wondered how it related to the courses to follow -- in my case, wild barramundi (a native Australian fish) fillet with asparagus and summer truffles, the latter distinctively aromatic but contributing little to flavor.
That's "regular" as in "The Mill's steak haché centred with Suffolk blue cheese, with onion bread, shallot rings, English mustard foam and a cherry tomato relish" (£9), followed by, in my case, "Slow-cooked and roasted duck leg, orange and stem-ginger candied marmalade, seared duck breast with an oriental duck, vegetable and noodle miso soup" (£20).
There's an amuse-bouche to start (a butternut squash tart in my case), followed by finger sandwiches, scones, a tasty cake and cookies.
It was followed by Mon cas (1986; "My Case"), which presented multiple interpretations of a one-act play by Régio, and Os canibais (1988; "The Cannibals"), a darkly comic film opera.
Still, I had my hand on the break waiting for whatever horrible news was to follow, just in case.
