Pirate Feast

Ellen and I went to see the latest Pirates of the Caribbean movie on Wednesday. It wasn't that good a movie, but it tasted fantastic!

We went to a special showing at the Alamo South Lamar, that had a 5 course "Pirate Feast" with paired wines.

Amuse

Mango and shrimp ceviche

Jerk Cho Cho Salad

Boggy Creek greens and chayote tossed in a papaya vinaigrette

Piononos

Plantain stuffed with spiced beef in a green curry

Red chile Belacan Red Fish

Snapper wrapped and grilled in bannana leaf, jasmine rice and baby bok choy

Pirate cake

Pineapple angel food cake carmelized bannana and whipped coconut rum cream

We walked to the theater, anticipating 5 paired wines being a lot of wine. And we were right! But the walk home was just the thing to clear our heads, and Ellen showed me a scenic route through a very nice part of town.
