my favourite things: tiny receptacles, food, and packaging Tweet

vinaigrette, originally uploaded by gorgeoux.

The vinaigrette bottle that came with our Eurostar dinners is the embodiment of three things I adore: tiny receptacles, food, and packaging. It tasted right, as well, while the rest of the dinner didn't surpass the quality of a good airplane meal. Oh, well, that was to be expected.

I chose it as a good preview of my afternoon: finally checking out famed food festival Taste of London which, as one would have it, combines Michelin star restaurants, tastes of the world (China in the spotlight), and many more fine nourishments in tapas sizes.

I hope to have a four hours long culinary trip in the partly sunny Regent's Park, with the occasional orgasms of, say, salmon confit or strawberry and champagne soup. It's hard to imagine what dinner can be this evening after all that; a selection of simple salads like last night? A book? A movie?

I will be thrilled to report back later but, until then, there's a glass of cava next to my coffee.
