In Perpignan, we lunched with Dad's friends. Marie Therese (our hostess) served first, a unique lemon, apple sprite with herbs, also melon balls on toothpicks. That was just the first course. The second course was roasted vegetables, salad, and bruschetta. We thought it was a nice light summer lunch. And it was delicious at that!! Not so--there was more: 3rd course came out after a polite amount of talking. Meatballs on white beans and potatoes. (Huge meatballs! in mushroom sauce.) It was delicious! We began to feel full.
Then... 4th course of cheese and bread was served. After that, we all stretched our legs, then decided to take dessert outside in the garden. But before dessert, we ate our 5th course which was fruit salad topped with cream.
More talking. Then, out with the 6th course: dessert of currant and blackberry tart. It was a very agreeable way to spend an afternoon!
Well-fed in both spirit and body, we then looked at two local Moor-ish castles. Then away to Carcassonne where we washed laundry, ate pizza and admired the walled city lighted to show off its charm and beauty.
