Porridge and salt, followed by meringue kisses? Or a featherlight oatcake? Edinburgh rock might be the perfect combination of Scottishness and fairy pastels. A slab of Black Bun presented with a calorie counter on the side for would-be sylphs? Or a soupçon of cockaleekie soup in a thimble-sized porcelain bowl? I think Covent Garden is missing a trick here! And for La Sylphide a few days later … now that could be difficult! Porridge and salt, followed by meringue kisses? Or a featherlight oatcake?

Thoughtful and entertaining posts are always further enhanced by a dainty little morsel, I find.

We sat in the magnificent but achingly uncomfortable chairs of San Francisco's opera house. Afterwards I understood why fried food is so popular. I was certainly fried after the performance. I believe your crab and cocktail is particularly fitting for The flying Dutchman. Thank you for a well written and beautiful post. Long ago I accompanied a friend to part of the Wagner Ring cycle.
