If this were food it would a perfect fruit served with little or no dressing. Mt Ranier cherries served on vanilla ice cream with hot fudge. Figs are in season now, and will be for a month or two. If it were savory it would have to be seared foie gras and carmelized figs, flambé.
She's asian, frozen lychees, or Lobster Pot Stickers. What would you feed her? Look at her face and tell me what she wants. Lemongrass soup with Lobster and papaya or Papaya Kimchi (for heat). Oh yeh, she likes it spicy, you can see it in her eyes. Maybe just Sashimi of Toro with ginger-serrano chile-soy sauce. Warm poached oysters with a sake-lime sabayon sauce. Big eye tuna, scantilly clad in puffed rice with corriander, seared and glazed in spicy carrot broth. This has to eaten with real chop sticks. She looks like "Surimi".
MMMMMM. She's in New York. It's Fall, cloudy out...getting cold at night. She needs a rich hot chocolate with homemade marshmallows, right now! While she's drinking that, get her a toddy. Make it something to go with the chocolate. Make it something she's going to drink though. Can't be tequila, something to warm her up, King louis XIII. Now a bowl of warm broth. She picks it up with both hands and sips it without a spoon. It warms the palms of her hands, and then her lips, mouth, throut, stomach. The soup is consommée with little agnolottis filled with truffled quail egg yolks. The consommé is garnished with morels and little onion flowers...oops it's fall, no morels and no onion flowers either. How about thin sliced Kobe Filet Shabu. For the main course? She eats meat. No way she's a Veeg. If she is, she's no good for you anyway. Might as well find out now. Make it Steak au Poivre with brandy cream sauce, already sliced so she won't have to use a knife. Serve with asparagus? I hate that, but it works. Certainly not creamed spinach or corn. She is from the south though. She would eat fried food. How about "just the tip" of the asparagus fried in light tempura and garnished with lemon zest and fried capers. She's yours. Creme Brûlée for dessert.
What is this? A samba? Hell, the food's already on the table. She's not going to slow down enough to eat! Latin Twist. Watta we got here, coconuts, mangos, fresh fish. Louis Martelli and the Continentals. How about whole Fried Snapper "sarandeado". Wild white Pacific U15 Shrimp Cocktail. Ice cold Oysters on the half shell with three sauces (mignonette, sake-lime, ginger-soy). Now you've got her. If she'll eat oysters...well. Keep her watered, shot o' tequila, Don Julio white, or maybe something from our country, a Ramos Gin Fizz. Plato Fuerte? God I can't get coconut shrimp out of my head!!!! It is the power of christ that compells you! Fish head fish heads rolly polly fish heads...Banana boat come and I wanna go home...Juantana mena, juajita juantanamena, Juantanaaameeena, jujeeta juantanameeeeeenaaaa...OK dessert: Pit Roasted sucking pig Oaxacan mole tamales? Dessert: Baked Alaska, or Banana Split. How about Crepes suzette? This is all so 50's. Let's move on.
Right! A chick tied to the wall with chickens, a virgin and christ...Christ. Looks like we're in the 1800's, maybe France. What would Escoffier do? Cuisses de Nymphe Aurore (frog legs). She's tied up so you'll have to either untie her or feed her. I wouldn't untie her. Those chickens look angry, besides...well. Peaches Melba for dessert.
