Our friend invited us over for a sensational International feast 
He made an outstanding mushroom curry that had a nice little kick to it (India); crispy Chicken Katsu (Korea); lemon cacio e pepe (Italy); smoked pulled rabbit taco (Mexico); excellent roast loin of pork roulade stuffed with broccoli rabe and prosciutto with a sauce made with the pork bones, and crispy smashed potatoes on the side; crab cakes; an amuse bouche of seared scallops, cucumbers, peppers, fish sauce, fried onions, and roasted peanuts (China); light as a feather popovers; chocolate tahini mousse (France) with a cumin cookie (Netherlands). He served some fantastic wines with some grapes that I never had before, including a 2009 Robert Foley Charbono, a 1974 Sassella, Sailor’s Superstition red blend aged in rum barrels, and The Federalist Dueling Pistols with a red zinfandel and Syrah blend, among other amazing wines and aperitifs.
