After my friend’s funeral reception—
My wife’s friend, the woman who started the “Make Altadina Better Association” with her,
lost her husband recently at the age of 96.
I attended his funeral,
but since he had passed away two or three months prior and was quite elderly,
it seemed to reflect his wife’s judgment, honoring the memory of an extremely sociable individual.
The atmosphere at the funeral was bright,
with everyone freely sharing memories of the deceased
and reconnecting with old friends.
＊First, waiters served an appetizer of wine, smoked salmon, and cream cheese,
＊After that, everyone served themselves buffet-style from the numerous dishes laid out along the long tables,
＊Then, seated at tables for standing or sitting,
the gathering continued.The tables were beautifully displayed with various food items,
and they were promptly replenished whenever anything ran low.
Menu:
＊Colorful fresh vegetables with assorted dips
＊5-6 types of cheese with freshly baked tortillas and breads (including crispy, okonomiyaki-like items)
＊Cold cuts including ham, prosciutto, salami, roast beef, and pastrami
* Mini pastrami sandwiches and vegetarian cream cheese rolls with vegetables
* Cold stir-fried noodles with aromatic herbs and sesame paste, a favorite of the host who loved Thai food
* Toast sandwiches with peanut butter and strawberry jam, another host favorite
* Large slices of ripe pineapple, unnamed tropical fruits, and various melons
＊A large platter holding small cakes, cookies, baklava, meringues, etc.
I ended up chatting for ages with an old church friend there and didn’t really get to savor it,
but we packed the huge leftovers into a big box to take home.
When I had it for dinner the next day, I was blown away.
The sandwich I made on a whim had a ‘taste I’d never experienced before’
and became the best sandwich experience of my life!!
It was like this,
＊The crispy okonomiyaki-like tortilla had already softened,
＊and it was just a sandwich rolled up with prosciutto, aromatic marinated bell peppers, and brie cheese inside.
Of course, it had a complex blend of flavors,
the balance of sweetness, saltiness, umami, and spiciness was on another level.
Because the tortilla had softened, it could be rolled, enhancing the unity. Eating all the ingredients together allowed me to savor that elegant, profound
“irreproducible harmony born from ingredients that happened to meet.”
was truly exquisite.
(I didn’t want to bore my wife with too many details,
so I just told her it was the best I’d ever had. lol)
Since it involves someone else’s misfortune, it’s not something to emphasize,
but the impossibility of recreating it is off the charts,
so I really wanted to record it somehow. Embarrassing.
