It was a bit shambolic and like Thursday a sense of amateurism in terms of cooking for 50 to 60 people. The starter was mouclade, the local way of cooking mussels by piling pine straw on top of them and setting fire to it. It was erm interesting.
Not surprisingly the main course was barbecued ostrich and chips. (Thank goodness for the chips, chirps in Sheila). Our table of six included a couple of New Zealanders who were very good company.
Ann and Sheila had a guided tour of the farm and now they are the acknowledged experts on these odd animals with dinosaurs as ancestors. (Ostrich not the McKay brothers)
The was live music from Manue & Gio who clearly knew how to work the french crowd (mostly middle-aged and beyond) and the dancing went on well past midnight - which is when we called it a night.
I have tried to put a link to a slideshow of pictures from the night HERE
