Abalone and Goose Feet

This is one major surprise of the night. It goes without saying that with a great old chef, the goose feet were cooked perfectly. The surprise was the abalone. My family are good cooks and eaters of abalone. We all thought this was remarkably large dried abalone with its full and rich flavour. The shock came when it was revealed that this was in fact very large, top quality canned abalone. The abalone was cooked for hours and hours, just like it were dried ones. The result is just sublime. You learn new tricks, particularly when you eat at the home of a great chef.
