Food: Smiling Boar Roulade is Smiling


Went to Earth last night for Krystle's belated birthday dinner. I ordered corn fritters for my appie, then the above choucroute as my main, and a ground cherry doughnut for dessert. 

The corn fritters were a'ight. Little fried dumplings with whole pieces of corn inside. A nice carb dish but nothing to write home about. 

The choucroute plate was protein intensive as the waiter had warned. I couldn't distinguish between the meats and didn't know whether I was eating boar, rabbit, or venison. But Michaela's Mike knew his meats and identified them for me. I was glad for the sauerkraut since it was a nice acid to cut through the fattiness. 

The doughnut was a disappointment. I thought they'd be fried to order so that I'd have a fresh and hot doughnut. Just the opposite, I think the pastry chef made it in the morning so I was just eating a stale $8 doughnut.
