FRIED FOIE GRAS, ORANGE AND JUNIPER BUN with Laurent Jury
ON our journey through France, my husband and I stayed in some remarkable and beautiful bed and breakfast places. From the working farm to wonderful
chateaux, albeit we were paying guests in fami ly homes, the welcome and comfort was always exceptional. While in the Auvergne district we found a
wonderful chateau in St-Remy de Chargnat, not far from Clermont Ferrand, run by Madame Henriette Marchand. The vast pan elled dining room was full of antique glassware and pottery with a wonderful carved ceiling and the elegant drawing room was furnished with elaborate Louis XlV-style chairs and tables. Madame Marchand recommended a restau
rant close by where we enjoyed a delicious din ner in an authentic French restaurant, and where we met the proprietor/chef. Chef Laurent Jury is a young 33-year-old
restaurateur, but his reputation has been estab lished for a long time among the gourmets at the La Bergerie at Sarpol in an ,18th century coaching inn in the district of Saint-Jean-en-Val in the region of Puy-de-Dome. There he cooks (he is self-taught) in a very
sensitive manner with products from the sur rounding
area.In the recipe he recommends the originality lies in the contrast between the soft fried foie gras and the crusty breadcrumb cov ering, bringing together melting and crispness at the same time.

LOOKING for some new summer wines, i t was a good piece of timing when one of our reps left a case of samples and, having tried them, they were such good value for the money we bought them all.
Six different sauvignon
blancs, all from the same producer, all from the same region in France, all the same price, but all quite different. Oisly and Thesee are a
,® tbsp olive oil © salt and pepper ® 300ggirolles (choose small firm ones -they
should be scraped not washed ® bunch of savory (a herb similar to sage)
® bunch of thyme (if possible in flower) ® bunch of chives The breadcrumb dressing ® 3 tsps juniper berries ground to powder © 1 orange rind crystallised in one decilitre
of water and lOOg sugar © 2 tbsp ground almonds ® 2 slices dry bread made into breadcrumbs. Method
1. Mix the breadcrumbs, juniper powder and
ground almonds together. 2. Cut four good slices of the foie gras about 1.5 cm thick. Season with salt and pepper and
cover them with the breadcrumb mixture which should be pressed in firmly. 3. Prepare the herb mixture by chopping the
chives, savory and thyme together. 4. Warm the olive oil in a non-stick pan and
put in the breaded foie gras. Fry until golden brown on both sides. Remove to a warm plate. 5. Put the mushrooms in the pan and add the
herbs quickly frying so the mushrooms stay crisp.' ■
■ . ■ ■ 6. Arrange on plates and decorate with crys
tallised orange rind and serve with a glass or two of dry chardonnay. My thanks must go to my next door neigh
bour Ian Buttle, who translated the above so brilliantly for me. I also know foie gras is not widely available in England, nor is it popular; because of how it is made, but I felt the recipe gave a good flavour of France.
well established firm and are producers of some of the best wines of the Tou- saine appellation. The region in the Loire
Valley covers 120 hectares which offers rich, diverse soils and a unique semi continental climate. The company makes a lot of efforts to contribute to a safer environment and has been certified as an organ ic producer. CHATEAU DE VAL-
LAGON TOURAINE SAUVIGNON is £4.99. This wine is produced
in the Cher Valley, aged 100% in stainless steel. It has a bright aromat
ic nose of currant and elder leaves on the palate. I t is crisp and dry, well-
balanced with a long “muscady” finish. This is just one of the
wines I picked out, but they are all good in differ ent ways. The Chateau Cher-
rignon is slightly dryer with more mineral notes while the Domaine du Bouc is fruitier. All make great aperitifs
and are lovely with most seafood, particularly something like plaice or goat’s cheese and if we ever get a summer, well- chilled in the garden.

Episode 4: Toowoomba Stonyhurst 2nd XV 26 Toowoomba Grammar 7
THIS was a very pleasing performance from a side who are really starting to gel. Toowoomba were, as every Australian team seems to be, aggressive and abrasive, but unlike our previous opponents, were also organised and well-disciplined. It would take a good performance to win
this game, and the boys came through and delivered it. Michael Richardson opened the scoring following some slick handling and good support play, and Mark Molloy converted. Matthew Scholes added his sec ond try of the tour soon after and the team was really starting to play well, organised in defence and looking dangerous with the ball in hand. Unfortunately, a few slipped tackles allowed the Toowoomba No. 8 to break through and score under the posts on the stroke of half-time to see us go in 12-7 up at the break. In the second half, however, we regained
our composure and James O’Donnell showed good pace to score twice, the first created by good handling in the backs and the second an opportunist breakaway where James still had a lot of work to do. To his huge credit, he finished both clini cally and allowed Mark Molloy two simple conversions. The result was a 26-7 win and it was, overall, a very pleasing perfor mance, with Ryan Stokes, Henry Hall and Ben Ashworth showing up well in the for wards. A few glaring opportunities did go begging and Toowoomba rumbled our line- out early on, so still a lot of work to do, but this team is definitely moving in the right direction. Led by the increasingly impres sive Mark Molloy, the team spirit was excellent and the boys really worked hard for each other. Onward to Brisbane with confidence and a 100% record to defend. Scorers: James O’Donnell 2 tries,
Michael Richardson 1 try, Matthew Scholes 1 try, Mark Molloy 3 conversions
Stonyhurst 1st XV 24 Toowoomba Grammar 22 What a game! A tight game from start
to finish, physically and mentally demand ing, in which the team really had to dig deep to secure the win. Tries from Joe Ans- bro and Ross Munro saw us trailing 12-13 at half-time, as we were consistently penalised for some curious infringements which left players, staff and supporters bemused to say the least. Toowoomba were organised and well-drilled up front, but kept the game fairly tight and didn’t let the backline see much of the ball beyond the No. 12 until late in the game, which was not something we were expecting. James Small rumbled over out wide in the second half to put us back in front, but more penalties conceded saw Toowoomba lead ing 22-17 with 5 minutes to go. The scene was set for a grandstand finish, and having had John Ashworth sinbinned, the team was highly motivated. Having secured some good possession in the opposition 22, the ball was spun to Joe Ansbro who slipped through the Toowoomba defence to score under the sticks, leaving Joe Notter to convert. Still with minutes to play out, supporters and staff paced nervously on the sideline, waiting for the referee to award what we expected to be a kickable Toowoomba penalty. The penalty did come, but surprising, it went to us and the ball was kicked dead and the final whistle was blown. The record stands at 4 out of 4 and we outscored the opposition by four tries to one in both games, but more impor tantly, both teams played some good rugby today and the spirit in the squad is very strong. Scorers: Joe Ansbro 2 tries, Ross Munro
1 try, James Small 1 try, Joe Notter 2 con versions.

Episode 3: The Great Barrier Reef
LOCATED off Australia’s east ern seaboard, the reef is not actu ally one continuous structure, but a collection of 2,900 individual reef systems, stretching over a thousand miles. The tour party loaded on to Quick
silver 5, our catamaran for the day at Cairns, heading initially for Port Douglas, 30 minutes north, and home to some serious real estate, before heading off out into the Coral Sea, and our destination for the day, Agincourt Reef on the Outer Barrier Reef. At this point the continental shelf ends, and plunges from an ini tial depth of 20 metres to 2,000 metres. Not the point to take a wrong turn! The Quicksilver pontoon awaited

the arrival of the catamaran here. I t should not be understated how strange an experience it is to sit at a table and have a smorgasboard lunch in what seems like the middle of the ocean! The views beneath the surface were
truly magnificent. The various coral systems were breathtakingly colour ful and the range of life the reef sup ported was incredible: Three tour members (David Greene, Flannan O’Mahony and Mr Kaaber) were qualified divers and were fortunate enough to experience the reef at very close proximity, the highlight being
coaxing the giant clams into clamping shut when touched. Saturday began at 5-30 a.m. The
sight of the Tully River cutting through the Misty Mountains (not Lord of the Rings fame!) was a sight I am sure none of the tour party will forget. Set in the middle of tropical rain forest, the rapids are serviced by the dam at the head of the river, which releases millions of tonnes of water each day, and creates some of the world’s best white water rafting conditions in a grade 4 environment. The boys were equipped with all the necessary safety equipment and brief ings, including helmets, windcheaters and life jackets, and the dubiously named ‘thongs’ which are actually worn on the feet! Off we set down the Tully, pictured
right, and it was pretty much straight in at the deep end with the “Alarm Clock”, a set of grade 4 rapids.
Tremendous victories against impressive opposition
Episode 5: Brisbane and The Gold Coast
THESE words are being typed up as the tour party speeds southwards down the Pacific Motorway, leaving behind the bright lights of Brisbane and heading towards the apparently even brighter lights of Surfers Par adise. Normally, match reports are written the day after the game, with the coaches having had time to reflect upon and discuss the events of the game. This report is being written in the immediate wake of what has sim ply been an incredible evening’s rugby, the enormity of which has yet to sink in fully. Simply put, the boys played some phenomenal rugby and we are left to reflect upon two tremen dous victories against impressive opponents, both of whom were repre sentative regional sides.
Stonyhurst 2nd XV 35
Sunshine Coast District Side 19
Outstanding! A tremendous perfor
mance from the 2nd XV, who are growing in confidence with every game. This really was a performance to savour, great to watch from the sideline and in many ways, the best rugby played by this side to date. There was a little apprehension at the outset as the boys surveyed physical ly more mature opponents, and we conceded an early score and found ourselves unable to get out of our half. Slowly however, we started to realise that the opposition were not invinci ble and gradually started to impose ourselves on the game. A trademark barnstorming run from Jack Haynes who powered over got the ball rolling and we then really started taking the game to the opposition. Mark Molloy converted a penalty to put us 8-7 up and James O’Donnell, who had an outstanding defensive game, danced down the wing and stepped the full back to add to his brace against Toowoomba. At half-time, our own ability was emphasised and the boys were exhorted to have a little more self-belief and confidence. Into the second half, and almost immediately, that confidence became apparent. Jack Haynes added “subtlety” to
“power” and carved through the Gold Coast defence. He fed Ben Allen, who returned the pass and then Jack passed back to Ben who finished off a great handling piece of play to score a try converted by Mark Molloy. Fer-
gal Marlborough punished a dropped ball and sprinted clear to score a few minutes later, and by the time Mark Molloy added a second penalty with 20 minutes to go, the game was all but over as a contest. Ben Allen doubled his try tally with another well-taken score after neat play from Fergal Marlborough. Every player got on the field again, pictured below, and enjoyed the experience of what was a really great win against a good side. Huge satisfaction for all involved in a very impressive performance. It is hard to single out individuals
for special mention as the whole team played so well, but a few do deserve “extra credit”. Ryan Stokes, Wictor Willumsen and David Greene were everywhere on the park, doing the hard graft, fearlessly tidying up loose ball and putting their bodies on the line. Henry Hall excelled carrying the ball up and following the defensive patterns to the letter, making impor tant hits at crucial times. Ben Ash worth stepped up to the fore and enjoyed the physical nature of the contest. In the backline, Charlie Cuddy had an immense game at No.9, taking all the right options at the right times. Mark Molloy and Fergal Marlborough continued to impress, whilst Sean Knight had a tremendous game at fullback, run ning hard and taking players on and beating them. Wingers Ben Allen, James O’Donnell and Jordan Wilde ran hard, tackled everything that moved, were hungry for the ball and scored tries - other than that they were no use at all! So on to Sydney and St Aloysius on
Saturday: let us hope that the boys continue to build on the tremendous progress made thus far.
Stonyhurst 1st XV 29 Brisbane Metropolitan Schools 5
So having witnessed this excellent
performance by the 2nd XV, could the 1st XV maintain the momentum of the tour and secure a sixth straight win and 100% record? The signs were ominous, as a huge oppo sition side took to the field, a team in which Mr Hodkinson would have" been the team midget. As it was, this was a fantastic performance. The immense James Clark drove
over early on after a few phases of quick drives were completed, and Paul Beard notched a second soon after, as the opposition were stunned by the intensity and precision of our play. The game then descended into a ferocious battle of cut-and-thrust, and the scores remained the same until a lapse in concentration and a slipped tackle allowed the Metropoli tan schools back in the game. A Joe Notter penalty on the stroke of half time drifted agonisingly wide and we went in 12-5 up. In the second half though, we hit a
purple patch that lasted the whole half. The line-out jumpers were hit with metronomical accuracy by Dan Smalley and the set pieces consis tently produced quality ball. Tries from Joe Ansbro, Luke Lang
ford and Aaron McLoughlin and a magnificent touchline conversion from Ross Munro gave us a 24 point lead and solid defence meant we never looked like conceding points. A really fantastic performance from 1 to 15, every one standing up and being counted in the face of a physi cal onslaught, and every member was left with a huge sense of achieve ment. A great day for all involved.
