Mmmm! Looks tasty! I'll have to try doing some shaking lamb sometime :)
Oooh, what is this "Oeuf À La Toque" you speak of? Is it soft boiled egg? Because if it is, I would have eaten twenty of them. Especially when accompanied by fried potatoes. And then I would have had a coronary. But whatever. Looks delish!
