Champagne, Oysters.. and Cars on Lenin's Birthday

I am still behind with My Restaurants series, with lots of backlogged entries yet to be posted, but here is something relatively fresh for a change:

On Saturday, April 22, 2023 - to celebrate the greatest philosopher and improver of human condition V. I. Lenin's birthday - went for a stroll about town and had some fast food - a bowl of "California" shrimp poke washed down with a glass of Rose sparkling and then three oyster-bar oysters with a glass of white bubbly.

 

Cars, oysters and champagne... ALSO after a long hiatus chanced upon another car show here in Moscow and so here is a photo dump

 

It was something of a cars and coffee meet but specifically for low cars aka whatever you call them, stanced?.

So basically went to this place called Hlebozavod 9 and found a party there so joined in.

Sakhalin Fine De Claire No. 3s for Lunch

Today lunched on some Sakhalin Fine De Claire No. 3 oysters at a restaurant on the Old Arbat, here in Moscow.

Supposed to be straight from far eastern island of Sakhalin.

Sakhalin is no France but it can be only for the better as the sea is definitely much clearer off Sakhalin than the euro sewage waters off the French coast... unless oysters prefer the latter to feed on but I really don't know, not an expert on oysters.

Felt nice and fresh enough and tasty in a subtle way but small and not much flesh but that's true to type.

Collateral views.
