Re: Our Guest this week - Queer

Ok, here goes:

On entrance, the butler, Mr Maroush, will take Queer's coat and escort him to the lounge. Doogh (a yoghurt drink) on the rocks will be served and my daughters will perform a recital of some traditional Dari poetry whilst i run around like a headless chicken in the kitchen, pretending to know what i'm doing.

Starters
Aushe - traditional vegetable noodle soup.

Mantu - Steamed dumplings filled with spicy minced lamb and sweet onion, topped with quroot sauce - a yoghurty garlicky dried mint sauce.

Ashak - Steamed dumplings filled with spring onions, leeks and coriander, topped with quroot sauce and tomato sauce.

Mains
Qabli Pilau - basmati rice with lamb, cooked with cardamom, black pepper, saffron, coriander and cumin. Topped with nuts, raisins and julienne carrots.

Sabzi Chalaow - spicy spinach, coriander, parsley and spring onion stew, served with baked and buttery basmati rice.

Borani Bademjan - aubergines sautéed in a lightly spiced tomato sauce, served on a bed of quroot sauce, topped with dried mint.

Bareh Kebab - succulent pieces of lamb marinated in onions, garlic, saffron, coriander seeds and lemon juice.

Murgh Kebab - fillet of chicken marinated in yoghurt, turmeric, garlic and sumac.

Accompanied with an assortment of freshly baked breads, salad and pickle.

Dessert
Firnee - creamy rice-flour pudding topped with ground pistachios.

Sheer Yakh - afghani ice cream

Goshe Feel - sweet fried dough (in the shape of an elephant's ear :D) sprinkled with ground pistachios and drizzled with honey.

Accompanied with a traditional Afghani tea, brewed with sugar, milk, cardamom and rose petals.

And if you play your cards right, Mr Maroush and i will perform a Daft Punk song for you, using the Afghani rubab and tabla :D

Re: Our Guest this week - Queer

^Unlike Maroush above, I shall not insult Queer's abilities. For he is an independent guy and fully capable of taking off his own coat and placing it...well let's see.....the coat closet by the door is rather full. Erm he can just toss it on the the back of the chair. As for poetry, nothing beats the silly limericks written by the ever talented, Shell Silverstein. Queer will also be entertained by a sock puppet rendition of Silverstein's most profound work, The Giving Tree, whilst I don my Iron Chef persona in the kitchen.

Appetizer:
Crostini topped with a foie gras and arachnid mousse.

Soup and Salad:
Queer will be served a special soup where fowl of the air meets fish of the sea. A perfect example of such a union would be dumplings filled with pigeon gizzards in a shark fin consommé. Yes, the pigeons are shot on my very own stoop. I strongly believe in using only the freshest of produce in all my culinary creations.

To accompany the soup, there will be a salad consisting of poached quail eggs nestled on a bed of endamame and a chiffonade of peat moss. A sesame oil and citrus based dressing will bring out the unique flavors of each component of the salad, particularly the peat moss.

Main Course:

Grilled sea cucumber with a white bean and Portobello mushroom ragout.

Haggis pie with a flaky phyllo dough crust served with a pomegranate, balsamic vinegar, and ox blood reduction.

Dessert:
A mille feuille (Napoleon) pastry with layers of creamy bitter gourd filling, accompanied by a gooseberry (Amla) compote.

Palette Cleanser:
Orbit gum. The commercials claim it cleans dirty mouths. :p

'Tis all in jest, Queerio.

Re: Our Guest this week - Queer

lmao! ahh who are you, magic 8 ball?

Re: Our Guest this week - Queer

Magic 8 Ball, ha! Good stuff.

Queer, I'm planning on gatecrashing Maroush's do, so all I have to offer you is;
Bubble & Squeak, mug of PG tips, and some cockney rhyming slang.

Re: Our Guest this week - Queer

Desserts

Semiya Payasam - pudding made of vermicelli, milk, ghee and garnished with cashew nuts and raisins.
