Our menu

I want to write more about food in Spain, and I will, soon, I promise. But right now I'm a little preoccupied by wedding stuff (only five days away, good heavens), so instead I'm just going to give you the menu for our reception. It's utterly aloha amigo-san, as we say, and all vegetarian. I hope I get to eat some, though I've heard this is not so much what happens at one's own wedding. The descriptions are all in our caterers' wording, because I am lazy, and anyway, why not?

First, some passed hors d'oeuvres:

• Cucumber mango maki rolls with soy sauce, pickled ginger and wasabi


• Sesame eggplant satay with teriyaki dipping sauce


• Spinach and mushroom dumplings with red pepper dipping sauce


• Inari bean curd pouches with sushi rice

Next, stations of nibbles and more dinner-y things. There's no assigned seating, because who really enjoys assigned seats anyway?

On one side, the "Mediterranean station":

• Portobello lasagna with spinach and red peppers with herbed cream sauce


• Spring greens with teardrop tomatoes, chopped cucumbers, chopped fennel and roasted shallot vinaigrette


• Marinated olives, artichokes, roasted red peppers


• Assortment of domestic and imported cheeses with grapes and crackers


• White bean salad


• Fresh mozzarella and sliced tomatoes with fresh basil and olive oil


• Basket of cut breads

On the other side, the "Mexican station":

• Chick pea chili burritos


• Denita burritos - black bean mashers, parmesan cheese, roasted corn, spicy
  spinach, and portobellos


• Potato taquitos


• Super veggie quesadillas


• Salsa, guacamole, sour cream


• Tortilla chips

Fresh juice, soft drinks, and champagne (no, sparkling wine!) to go with, plus tea and coffee. Burnt almond torte for the cake.
