A ROYAL FEAST

What would you serve royalty? Kiwi fare of course. Local Mahurangi oysters and white bait fritters followed by a barbecue of lamb and local Salumeria Fontana sausages with with kumara salad, fresh asparagus and snapper and scallops, and then lamingtons and meringues. All washed down with Brick Bay's Rose, Pinot Gris and Pharos 2005 wines. Food by the lovely Sue Fleischl of The Great Catering Company.

My shot above is taken at Brick Bay today: it's the dessert served to Prince Albert of Monaco at a delightfully casual private lunch for his party of visitors to the RWC semi finals.

We loved the Prince. And he's backing the All Blacks.
