Almost two years ago, President of Estonia went on a State Visit to Spain, where they were treated to a festive Spanish meal. This week, the King and Queen of Spain, Juan Carlos I & Sofia, are on a return visit to Estonia. The festive state dinner took place last night atthe Estonia Concert Hall. Eighty local dignitaries were treated to a meal designed by Jevgeni Jermoshkin. Here's what they ate:

Tallinn sprats with rye bread, quail's egg and tomato vinaigrette
Cream of beetroot soup with potato-barley ball and sour cream mousse
Halibut with basil and cauliflower risotto and sparkling wine jus
Warm rhubarb tart with chocolate-covered ice cream and Vana Tallinn liqueur sauce
Sounds all rather delicious, IMHO. Too bad I wasn't invited :D
