Someone asked about the menu for the dinner party... so...

During the Devious Heads game:
Miniature bisteeya
Quail-egg and breading/sesame seed variation on scotch eggs

At table:
First: Watercress vichysoisse
Second: Scallops and sole baked in parchment, on julienned squash, zucchini and carrot// white wine, shallot and tarragon reduction
Third: Smoked, tea-marinated cornish game hen quarters wrapped in green tea crepes// light port and spice reduction, finished with Earl Grey tea
Fourth: Sirloin cuts baked in puff pastry with caramelized fennel and shallots// Mushroom reduction, sauce poivrade
Fifth: chocolate beignets with vanilla-amaretto sauce, ginger-mascarpone cheesecake with walnut crust

Also, there was a vegetarian variant for each of the meat-bearing courses for the single vegetarian at the table. All of the sauces were vegetarian from the get-go.
