A Movable Feast

Well, based on what I've read from a familiar black-edged note left in Box Five this morning, it seems as though Erik has graciously invited Meg and myself to a little informal dinner in the cellars this evening in celebration of a certain traditional American holiday.

He asks that we bring purée de pommes de terre and sauce à canneberge and promises to provide some rare delicacy as as the main course.

I simply hope that he doesn't serve pickled pigs' feet again. That particular dish tends to make me nauseous; and has a singularly unpleasant aroma.

And now I must awake Meg and remind her that though it may be a holiday across the Atlantic, in France we still arise early and practice our pirouettes.

And what is wrong with pickled pig's feet? Did you at least like the ham or pâté?

Your obedient friend,

I hated that pickled pig's feet! It tasted like...feet! Does he really have to feed us those unusual dishes? Thank goodness we had pate this time.
