The other momentous event at J's party was that B won the Food Description of the Week award.
His winning entry went something like this:
(Setting - a near-empty plate of dates stuffed with parmesan and flat-leaf parsley lies on the table. All of the guests had ingested serious amounts of alcohol. Much cake had been eaten.)
B: Katie, these dates are a phenomenal new taste sensation.
K: I know. It's weird; you wouldn't think that the parsley would make such a big difference in there, but it's really holding everything together.
B: Yeah! The parsley is like a GPS for your tongue.
Blank, glazed stares ensue.
B: It let's you know where you're at. It's a little palate cleanser between the sweet date and the salty cheese.
Ah yes. That made more sense. At least it did that night after a few glasses of Pimm's and ginger beer (a very, very fine cocktail for winter, by the way).
To recreate this taste sensation in an oatcake form, I took a couple of dates and smashed them up into a paste with olive oil and loads of black pepper. This was spread on the oatcake and then a pile of cheese and parsley followed, topped with a drizzle of oil and some more pepper. This is a hefty snack. You could get two well-dressed cakes out of this, and I would be surprised if you could finish them both.
