Expanding gastric capacity and liver function prior to expanding my horological horizons

As stated in another post (see here: www.watchprosite.com for a teaser), a top three horological event of this year so far is about to start in earnest today. And listening to the sage advice of our long time moderator and CEO - MTF - one needs to expand one's gastric capacity and liver function prior to such events.

That is exactly what I proceeded to do yesterday and here is some empirical evidence

Starting with some nice modern Georgian cuisine. Walnut filled carrots and a Georgian style tartare...

...and some Czech beer for stimulating the liver function...

Followed by chicken filled pita with a mildly spicy Georgian sauce...

Some sturgeon bashe (cold) with white polenta (warm) and pomegranate was next. Highly recommended!

Finally some 'Georgian cake' for dessert. Got a whiff of Eszterhazy cake about it, definitely good.

The preparation continued over dinner, with Bosnian cevapcici and kajmak.

I do hope to be moderately ready now

Bon appetite!

Even though I haven't had breakfast yet (the baby just did) these pictures are making me long for lunch or diner :-) [nt]

But then again I imagine both lunch and dinner today being adequate? ;)

Lunch will be 'enjoyed' in the air

I am confident you will be satisfied ;) [nt]

Too light and healthy for me :)

Wonderful :)

I definitely vote yes for all these dishes. Yum-yum!

Thanks Alkiro :)

Oh yes :-)

Looking great so far :) [nt]

Wow, you are taking things seriously for the GTG to come. Bravo. [nt]

Absolutely :)

If I ever participate in one of these I fear the food will kill me.

Not at all - this was just the training :)

You are recommending death, my friend.
