“On a typical night at the Pudding, I might order an appetizer of shrimp rolled in brown-butter bread crumbs on skewers, so the oil wouldn't spread on your hands. For an entree: squab with black lentils and bacon, only in the pink light of the dining room the lentils weren't black, but blue--- a deep, inky blue. And for dessert, I might ask for my favorite treat: candied violets on a lace doily. My teeth cracked open each crystalline blossom, and I could smell the sheets of wax paper they came in mingled with the sugar.” DessertSeafoodEntreesVioletsAppetizerCandied Book:Charlotte Au Chocolat: Memories of a Restaurant Girlhood Source: Charlotte Au Chocolat: Memories of a Restaurant Girlhood
