このブリヌイと付け合わせですが、実はフランスに来て初めて食べました。ブリヌイはロシア料理であり、要は甘くないパンケーキなのですが、スーパーに行けば必ず見かけるほどフランス人も大好きです。ウィキペディアで調べると、バターやレーズンを乗せて食べたり、ロシアの伝統スタイルはキャビアを乗せるようです。今回は私の誕生日にお義父さんに連れて行ってもらったペトロシアンの付け合わせを乗せて食べました。サーモンのタラマ（マッシュポテトに魚を交ぜ、レモン、酢、オリーブオイルで味付け）、ワサビとタラのタラマ、そしていくら！いくらを最後食べたのは３月の一時帰国ぶりだったのでこれは本当に嬉しかったです！
なお、ペトロシアンはパリの高級地区にレストランとお店を構えているロシアのレストランです。最高級のサーモン、いくら、キャビアで有名です。若干値は張りますが、特別な日を祝うには良いと思います。
Yesterday we went to E's father's house to celebrate E's little brother's birthday. Both E's father and step mother are very gourmet and whenever we go to see them they greet us with a banquet of delicacies. Yesterday's dinner was barbecued prawns, guacamole and chips, blini and assortments, and a chocolate cake from Lenotre for dessert.
The first time I ate blini and assortments was actually after I moved to France. Blini is a Russian cuisine and it is basically a pancake that's not sweet. The French love blini so much that I see it ever time I go to the super market. I looked into Wikipedia and it seems it's eaten with butter and raisin, or with caviar which is the Russian traditional style. This time we ate it with assortments from Petrossian, a restaurant which E's father took us to on my birthday. Salmon tarama (fish mixed with mashed potato and seasoned with lemon, vinegar, and olive oil), wasabi and cod fish tarama, and salmon eggs! The last time I had salmon eggs were when I went back to Japan in March so I was really happy!
Petrossian is a Russian restaurant which both restaurant and store is located in the expensive neighborhood of Paris. They are famous for their premium salmon, salmon eggs, and caviar. It does cost a small fortune but it's a great way to celebrate a special day :)
