Lost New Year's Eve Post

Okay. January 3rd, posting mantra hasn't really worked out so far. But here we go again. You're still wondering what The Vancouverite did for New Year's Eve? Or if you were stranded on a planet by a certain someone, you'd mildly disapointed too. Well, probably not losing sleep over it - and certainly not like the sleep insomnia that watching Lost Season 1 gives you, because you don't want to start watching. And speaking of Lost, have you ever seen the insane David Lachapelle dance off or creepy voice over promos that our friends in jolly old England had to deal with?

Where were we again? Oh right, you were asking about New Years at Chambar. The night's menu as translated by our party:

*Not Jessica Simpson Chicken of the sea plate. Ahi Tuna tartar, coconut & vanilla scallop, raw oyster with bacon.
*Lobster sausage. This shouldn't be done again. Sorry, but sausage should be contained to beef, pork, lamb, etc.
*"Foie Gras McNugget". Seriously, this was insane, with gingerbread - We're lovin' it. Sorry.
*Duck Roulade with tea. Who knew.
*Rose water & champagne slurpees. 7-11 should hook these palate cleansers up for the big bites.
*Roast ostrich and celery tasting mashers. Holy crap. How does something that look like this taste so good. Confirms minor theory, that animals you want to ride around or tip over taste delicious.
*Mandarin oranges done three ways, dessert style.

Wow. Hope you New Year's was 1/2 as good as this pals. Wow.

OK, our good friend Mr. LaChappele (sp?) has completely ripped off an Alexander McQueen runway show from about 1-2 seasons ago. It's blatant! He even used Portishead! Hold crap. Alexander used "Strangers" in his show in an old Paris danchall, where they, well, danced. This is infuriating. What a douche, that
Dave. Google it, my friends.

Long ago I went ostrich hunting in the Karoo. We rode a big bastard down on horseback, killed him with a stirrup thwack to the neck, threw his flightless bulk on a bonfire, and then ate him (or her...I don't know...I'd been drinking).

Ostrich run fast and taste good when burned.

Lobster sausage is considered advanced sausage for those who haven't graduated past the Dogzilla at the corner of Granville and W. Georgia. Believe me. It's really hard to get a lobster in sausage form and at least you don't have to use those ridiculous shell crackers...those things are the wurst.

I know I shouldn't argue with a German about sausages, but I agree with you Jackson, the lobster sausage was kind of creepy. And I like eating with those shell crackers, plus sometimes you get to wear a ridiculous bib. I once saw Pierre Berton in a restaurant in Toronto eating lobster with a paper bib on, butter stains and all. A little Canadiana. But I digest...
