Gastronomic Boredom

By March 13, 2009 Foodie One Comment

I was given a choice to eat wherever I want, so I chose one of my favorites, Pepato ( Nov. 25, 2008 ).  

When I go back to a restaurant I have been to already, I promised myself that I will not order the same thing again and again.  I will make sure that I have a new experience and try other things on the menu.  Mireille Guiliano ( French Women Don’t Get Fat January 21, 2009  ) said that “Gastronomic boredom leads to lots of unhealthy eating.  If you don’t make improvisation and experimentation a part of your eating life, you are sure to find yourself in an eating rut.  It’s as bad as a romantic rut – losing that spark-and just as likely to get you in trouble!”   

So, I did not order my favorite foie gras dish ( August 16, 2007)!  But I discovered other wonderful dishes! 

Just their first complimentary dish excites me already….They normally give you a bite from their appetizers menu- I do not know what this is called but it reminded me of a mini Mille Feuille but salty not sweet.  I loved it!

I really like the tasting portions in Pepato – Raviolini, chicken liver pate sage butter.  It follows very much the concept of Mireille G.
