Cuisine of the Month

I'm contemplating sticking to one cuisine per month, just as an experiment. There's so much variety in each culture, as well, so I don't feel as if I'll be limited in my choices.  I posted this idea on FaceBook and received quite a few interesting responses.

Food and music connection, du jour...in the 1980's I performed or presented 16 original compositions (mine) @ Weill Hall @ Carnegie Hall. After each performance we would wend our way to the Russian Tea Room where we had our usual banquet seating. The Vodka was presented on crushed ice and the blinis were quite good.  Personally I never mixed high end caviar with anything.  And yes, I did bring along my mother-of-pearl spoon.  I'm a damn purist.
